Tuesday, August 14, 1023 THE HEPPNER HERALD. HEPPNER. OREGON PAGE FIVE SCHEDrLE OK PREMT'IAi AXD DISCOUNT N WHEAT (fly 0 .K Ppence. Ma-ket Ag'-nt, 72 1 Court House, Putlauci) In 1921 the statp legislature amrjiidVJ the grain Inspection act, and provided a schedule premiums and discount for different varieties and weights of wheat. This amend ment has not been enforced. The Northwest Grain Dealers' as sociation, in session in Spokane, Wash., June 18, 1923, adopted a schedule of discounts, but it pays no premiums on wheat that weighs more than the basio (58 pounds) and their discounts run too low when the millUg value of the light wheat is considered. The values of wheat, under the amended law, are bas,ed very closely on the Howard laboratory tests of Minneapolis recognized as the high est authority in the country. The following schedules, ordered by the state market agent, C. E. Spence, carry out the provisions of the amended law of 1921, and will be in effect on and after September 1, 1923. This table of prices, in re lation to test weight of Soft Red winter, Common White and White Club wheat is worked out for each pound and half of pound test weight o.nd based on a price of 1 cent per bushel for No. 2 wheat weighing 58 pounds per bushel, as provided in the 1921 amendment to the Oregon Grain Inspection act. For premium No. 2 or better wheat testing over 58 pounds per bushel. Test Weight Price 65.0 $.010560 64.5 010520 64.0 010480 63.5 010440 63.0 010400 62.5 010360 62.0 010320 61.5 010280 61.0 010240 60.5 010200 60.0 010160 59.5 019120 59. 010080 58.5 010040 58.0 01 For discount wheat grading below No. 2 because test weight below 53 pounds per bushel.

B.-FREE DAIRY CATTLE WIXS PREMICM FOR HOiS Freedom from tuberculosis of dairy cattle means a better price for hogs, when the fact is properly guar anteed. A premium of 10 cents per hun dred pounds on live hogs received from Clatsop and Tillamook counties has been offered by Swift & Co. That is because the counties have been declared free of tuberculosis as a result of several years of per sistent work in testing and eradica tion. Some 40 thousand dairy cattle ex clusive of th,e Clatsop and Tillamook herds were tested last year by the United States department of agricul ture, the office of state veterinarian, the extension service and the various counties. The local dairymen are as sisted by the county agents in plan ning the campaign. Klamath and Jackson counties are conducting vigorous campaigns, and Multnomah planning to. Crook, Mor rom, Umatilla, Wasco and Washiug to ncounties are doing some testing. Benton, Clackamas, Lane, Umatil la, Linn. Polk and Columbia did much work last year, the last three having compulsory testing. With work going on and planned for the future, Oregon is making progress toward elimination of this disease. This would add not only to the profits of dairy breeding and production in the state but likewise to Oregon's reputation as one of the greatest though one of the youngest dairy states of the union. The prospect for $20 bonus on a carlot of hogs is another incentive to dairymen raising bogs to carry en I WILI ATTEND W. R. C. t'OX- VEXTIOX AT MILWAl'KIE Mr. and Mrs. D. E.
