The National Farm Bureau has ar
ranged for a hearing on hay ami
grain tariffs to be held in Washing
ton this week on these two eommoil -ities
east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Oregon Hay Growers, uniting
with Washington Hay Growers, and
interested dairymen in Willamette
Valley, are arranging to present the
Northwestern situation at this hear
ing. According to reports the first of
week semi-formal briefs were pre
pared by the Oregon State Farm, Bu
reau and the two Hay Growersorean-
izations showing the urgent need of
revision in connection with the hay
industry. This will be submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commision
by Mr. Gray Silver, special represent
ative ative of the National Farm Bu
reau at this interesting hearing.
The real cause of the Oregon Hay
Growers will be settled in Portland.
The following table of relative
prices from 1917 to 1920 inclusive.
graphically illustrates the general
butter, hay and freight situa
tion, and while these figures are not
absolutely complete and correct they
are sufficient to set forth the essen
tial parts of the idea. " The freight
rate given is from Hermiston to Port
land:
Butterfat Hay Freight
26c $17 $3,136
50c 21 3.92
77c 13 4.90
1920 Present 32c 10 4.70

dicated. A little study of these' fi
gures will show that while up to and
preceding the taking over of the rail
roads by the government, butterfat
maintained a price around 26 to 30c
during the strenuous activities of the
war this increased until the price of
77c was reached. During this time
we had the severe winter known as
me worst m the northwest in ten
I years and while we had and advance
(in freight rates of 2 5 per cent, the
severe winter and the price of butter
fat carried, hay to $2 7 with an aver
age price of $21, in the hay districts.
During the present season the price
of butterfat, inspite of the fact that
the United States is now an import
ing country of dairy products, slum
ped to as low as 2 5c per pound. In
the face of this, last August we had
a 25 per cent increase in freight rates
with the result that the cows are be
ing slutted off to the butcher as ran-
idly as possible, many herds turned
out to pasture and not milked, and
hay selling at the lowest on record
any time in ten years. To meet
these conditions we have had only
4 per cent reduction in freight rates.
The Oregon Co-operative Hay
uiowers will do everything possible
to assist their members in making
displays at the Northwestern Hay
iiq urain show at Pendleton. At
this show the first prize for a bale of
hay is equal to the present value of
i tons, the second prize to three tons,
and the third prize to two tons, be
sides numerous other valuable prizes.
If any hay grower has first class
hay that he wants to exhibit for these
prizes the association, will assist him
and furnish him -with details nm.n
application.
