NUMBER 16
FARM BOARD AND
TAR1FFTHE ISSUES
Hoover's First State Paper
Read At the Special
i -Session.
" In his first message to congress, in
its special session, President Hoover
., specifically informed the senate a..
house that he,favoredcreation of a
federal farm board with resources
to remedy agricultural ills; a limit
ed tariff revision; suspension of the
national origins clause of the im
migration act; legislation for the
taking of the 1930 census and the re
apportionment of congressional rep
resentation. The message in part,
follows": . " '
I have called this special session of
congress to redeem two pledges given
in the last election farm relief and
limited changes in the tariff.
' The difficulties of the agricultural
industry arise out of a multitude of
causes. A heavy indebtedness was
inherited by the industry from the
deflation processes of 1920. Disor
derly and wasted methods of mar
keting have developed.- The growi-g
specialization in the v industry has
for years been increasing the pro
portion of products that now leave
the farm and, in consequence, prices
have been unduly depressed by con
gested marketing at the harvest or
by the occasional climatic surpluses.
Railway rates have necessarily in
creased. There has been a growtl.
of competition in the world markets
from countries, that enjoy cheaper
labor or" more nearly virgin soils.
There was a . great expansion of
production from our marginal lands
during the war, and upon these pro
fitable . enterprises1 under normal
conditions cannot .be maintained.
Meanwhile their continued - output
tends to aggravate the situation.
Local taxes have doubled and in
some cases trebled. Work animals
have been steadily .replaced by me
chanical appliances, thereby decreas
ing the consumption of farm products.
There are many other contributing
causes. . . .
' The general result has been lhat
our agricultural industry has not
kept pace in prosperity or standards
.of living with other lines of indus
try. -
There being no. disagreement as
to the need of farm relief, the pro
blem before us becomes one of me
thod by which relief may be most
successfully brought about. Be
cause of the multitude of causes and
because agriculture is not one indus
try, but a score of industries; we are
confronted not with a single problem
alone but a great number of problems.
Therefore there is no single plan of
principle that can be generally ap
plied. Some of the forces working
to the detriment of agriculture can
be greatly mitigated by improving
our waterway transportation; some
of them by readjustment of the tariff;
some by better understanding and
adjustment of production needs; and
some by improvement in the methods
of marketing.
': An effective tariff upon agricul
tural products, that will compensate
the farmer's higher costs and high
er standards of living, has a dual
purpose. Such a tariff not only pro
tects the farmer in our domestic
market but it also stimulates him to
diversify his crops and to grow pro
ducts that he could not otherwise
produce, and thus lessens his de
pendence upon exports to foreign
markets. The great expansion of
firoduction abroad under the condi
ions I have mentioned renders for
eign competition in our export mar
kets increasingly serious. It seems
but natural, therefore, that the Amer
ican farmer, having been greatly
handicaped in W foreign market by
such competition from the younger
countries, should ask that foreign
access to our domestic market should
be regulated by taking into account
the differences in our costs of pro
duction. ' The government has a special man
date from the recent election, not
only to furthur develop our water
ways and revise the agricultural tar
iff, but also to extend systematic re
lief in other directions.
J have long held that the multi
plicity of causes of agricultural de
pression could only be met by the
creation of a great instrumentality
clothed with sufficient authority and
resources to assist our farmers to
meet these problems, each upon Its
own merits. The creation of such an
agency would at once transfer the
agricultural question from the field
of politics into the realm of economics
and would result in constructive ac
tion. The administration is pledged
to create an instrumentality that will
investigate the causes, find sound
remedies, and have the authority and
resources to apply those remedies.
Death Claims John
' Harden at the Age
of Eighty-six Years
John Harden died at his home in
Athena Monday evening at the age
of 86 years, ten months and 13
days, after an illness of only a few
hours, heart failure directly causing
his demise. Mr. Harden had spent
the declining years of his life in com
paratively good health, and the morn
ing preceding his death apparently
felt better than usual. Without his
cane he walked about the premises,
but shortly before noon he was
stricken and at six o'clock passed
hwf." .-
Mr. Harden was, a native of Ken
tucky, where he Was born, June 2,
1842. At the age of 16 he went to
California, where on the 9th day of
September, 1869, he was united in
marriage to Miss Sarah Jane Hale.
Seven children were born to the union
all of whom, with the mother, sur
vive. They are W. R. Harden of
Athena; Mary McKay of Athena;
Mrs. Kate McCollough of Tekoa,
Wash.; Mrs. Anna .Cartano of Pen
dleton; Mrs. Jessie Schick of Walla
Walla; Jasper Harden of Salem; Mrs.
Edna Kilgore of Athena. There are
eleven grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
Mr. and Mrs. Harden came to the
Willamette valley in 1876, moving to
Athena in 1890, where they have
lived since. For many years they
engaged in the hotel business here,
and their hospitality was long ap
preciated by the traveling public, as
well as the community which they
served so long and well.

BEANS SEEN AS
SOIL BUILDERS
Kasten Tells Lions How
Beans May Revolution- '
ize Farming.
Belief that Walla Walla and
Umatilla counties can be made one
of the great bean producing areas of
of the country because of climatic
conditions, was expressed by County
Agent A. W. Kasten, speaking before
the Lions club at their luncheon meet
ing at the Grand Hotel in Walla Wal
la. Thursday, says the Union.
Mr. Kasten declared that the rais
ing of beans as proposed by the large
canning concern represented by the
Eickhoff company, will be an import
ant factor in the revolutionizing of
agriculture in the foothills district
acting to make it more permanent by
3oil building.
The advantage of raising beans, the
speaker said,' are a double return on
the land, a replenishing of soil nitro
gen, and a profitable summer fallow
crop, besides bringing a premium for
wheat of high protein content Mr.
Kasten advised dividing the land be
tween beans, sweet clover, alfalfa and
wheat with the addition of sufficient
livestock to handle the extra stock
food.
Touching on the market possibili
ties, he said that the estimated cost
for an ordinary farm to add equip
ment for raising beans is about $300.
Northern Idaho and the Palouse
district are estimating returns at four
cents per pound on an 800-pound
yield per acre, which with a cost of
$11, over and above the summer fal
lowing, will yield about $21,
Mrs. Loius Stewart
Seriously Injured
-
Mrs. Louis Stewart was seriously
injured Saturday morning at her
farm home north of Athena, when

IS WELL RECEIVED
Milton-Freewater, Men v
fer Proposition To
Walla Walla.
Of-
Walla Walla. A definite and con
crete plan for a cannery to be con
structed in Milton-Freewater which
will be amply financed and well man
aged, was put up to the Chamber of
Commerce at its weekly luncheon yes
terday and was well received by the
business men. Ten Milton-Freewater
men came and the matter was pre
sented by C. B. (Det) Harris, who
said that it is proposed to capitalize
the company for $125,000 of which
$35,000 was to be raised in the Mil
ton-Freewater district and $25,000 in
Walla Walla, while the remainder
would be pledged by fruit and veget
able growers, who would agree to
turn in $65,000 worth of products in
five years, taking in pay stock in the
company, lne uUiton- reewater men
interested would see to the manage
ment, he Baid.
More than one cannery will be need
ed here, he stated, for the valley can
produce enough stuff for five or six,
but the first one should be operated
by a corporation rather than a co
operative. A capitalization of $125,
000 will take care of a cannery with
an annual output of 200,000 cases.
The causes of cannery failures are
Mr. Harris stated, under financing
and lack of proper management.
Seventy five per cent of the failures
are due to lack of financing and 25
per cent to poor management.
"For this cannery we plan a board
of managers made up of business
men who will give close supervision,
and will hire the best man obtainable
as manager. At Milton-Freewater we
have plenty of labor, cheap fuel and
power.
"We are asking Walla Walla to
subscribe $25,000 but not as a gift
for it will be an investment which
will pay dividends."
