Tuesday, August 21, 1923 THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON PAGE FIVE WHEAT BEING STORED I E CHI Better Markets Attributed to Growers Holding. Gray Silver, Farm Bureau Representative at Wash ington, Is Optimistic. Under date of August 17th the Washington correspondent of the Oregonian sends out the following report on the wheat marketing situa tion: Report of the storage of wheat in three middle western states which passed state warehouse laws last year caused Gray Silver, Washington rep resentative of the American farm bu reau federation, to give out the most optimistic sort of statement on the grain situation today. "The wheat situation," he said, "is improving largely because the farm ers have awaited a market with their wheat on farms. Up until August 9 the state warehouse commission in Nebraska has issued 20 licenses to farmers to store their wheat in farm warehouses and a great many appli cations were awaiting official action by the commission," he continued. "According to word just received from the secretary of the South Da kota farm bureau federation that or ganization had placed in the hands of the county farm bureaus of the state all of the information necessary for the farmers to act under the new state warehouse law. This in brief provides that 'any land owner, tenant or manager of any land in this state may store wheat or any other grain upon said land in a farm warehouse built and situated thereon and re ceive warehouse receipts for same by complying with provisions of this act' and that these 'warehouse receipts issued as herein provided for and the same are hereby made negotiable transferable and assignable.' In Iowa the farmers are planning to take advantage of the warehouse act in a large way Banks Offer Big Loans. "The reason that wheat marketing has been slowed down by farmers awaiting a market is that they appre ciate it is poor business to sell for less than the cost of production. The intermediate act, which authorizes the 12 intermediate credit banks to lend money on wheat stored in pro per warehouses, is giving confidence to the banks of the great surplus wheat states. They have come for ward to lend large amounts to co-operative wheat marketing associations when they learned that the interme diate credit banks were about to ne gotiate loans running into millions of dollars. "The federal farm loan board thus has already demonstrated its willing ness to loan on wheat and in fact has gone much further than offering to loan to the co-operatives. One of its banks alone has made a loan of more than $1,500,000 direct to co-operatives in the Kansas wheat belt. Crop Estimates Cut. "The department of agriculture has given its interpretation of the ware house act, which provides the farm bureaus and the wheat marketing as sociations with the right kind of in formation for the incorporation of public warehouses in which wheat may be stored and a warehouse re ceipt obtained which will be negoti able a the local banks and rediscount able with the intermediate credit banks, or if issued by a farmer's co operative grain marketing associat ion that may be tendered through the intermediate credit banks for loans. "Other factors which are influenc ing the wheat market, giving it legit imate support," continued Mr. Silver, "are the revision of the department of agriculture's estimate of the wheat crop, cutting the total yield for this year from 821,000,000 to 773,000, 000 bushels a prospect of 28,000, 000 bushels less than a month ago. On top of this come the reports from v Canada reducing the anticipated yield from 450,000 000 to 500,000,000 bushels down to not more than 382, 000,000, or 17,000,000 bushels less than last year's final estimate. Farmers Won't Sell at Loss. "As I see it, the farmers simply have made up their minds that they are not going to sell and considerable proportion of their wheat crop this year at less than it cost to produce it. Wheat will be fed liberally to live stock, including beef animals, hogs and chickens. The department of agriculture has shown that there is more money in feeding wheat at the prevailing prices than selling it for human consumotion. Credit has been advanced so rapidly in many communities that there is no longer J the pressure for selling that there ; has been at this time in recent years, 1 and even more significant is the psy chology in the situation represented by the firm belief that the market has ; been so overplayed by the bears that j it is due to rise. feAYS SPEED COP IS SHIO lid Clark, wire condii' a r;H!t,g station in north Heppoir, says the Mghwcy commission .ill i i 1 untion a sei cop here if the vaul to save maintenance costs ' the high waj. "Many drivers seem to think when they cross the Main street bridge that they are out of town and they step on the gas pronto," said Mr. Clark in discussing the matter the other day. "Plenty of cars pass my place at a 50-mile clip or better," he continued, "and I am expecting to see a bad accident most any day within sight of niy station. There are lots of children living along the highway in this part of town and many of them play on the street and the only wonder is that some of them have not 'been killed." Mr. Clark thinks the highway commission should provide warning signs at approaches to bad turns and that small culvert openings at the ,edgo of the road should also be marked in some way and the weeds kept down so the openings can be seen. Speeding is what wears out the macadam roads, Mr. Clark believes, and he thinks a wide awake officer could more than make his salary and all expenses. GRANT COUNTY PEOPLE WANT HEPPNER ROAD NATIONAL POWER AND TRACTOR SHOW OPENS MONDAY AT PORTLAND The National Power and Tractor Show under the auspices of the Ford Motor company, the Ford dealers of Portland and sixty nationally known manufacturers of power equipment will open in the specially selected show grounds at East 16th street and Flanders street, Portland, on Monday, August 20th. The exposition will be housed un der three huge tents, each 7 5 feet by 125 feet and included in the show will be a free motion picture exhibit open to the public and showing the largest collection of industrial and agricultural power pictures ever ex hibited in the northwest. The show will op(en with a huge street parade on Monday, the load tractor being driven by Margaret Nosdrof, who will pilot the huge trailer on which will ride the band. Many novelty features are prom ised for this parade in addition to the interesting display of tractors hauling huge industrial machinery through the downtown streets. There will be a Ford car of the vintage of 1903, motoring days which are dim in the recollection of most of thoso who will watch the procession of power. Saturday, August 25th, has been set apart as eastern Oregon day when this section of the state will be well represented at the big show. Mrs. Emmett Cochran has return ed from an expended visit with friends in Grant county when she visited at Spray, Monument, John Day and other places. Mrs. Cochran says times aro not so bad in that section but she is of tho opinion that Heppner has lost the Grant country trade forever un less steps are taken at once to do something towards improving the Heppner-Monument or the Heppner Spray road. "The people I met," Mrs. Coch ran said, "nearly all talked as though they preferred to trade at Heppner if road conditions were anything like equal because of the much shorter distance and also because they have traded at Heppner for so many years that they don't like to make a change. Since the comple tion of the John Day highway, how ever, the difference is too great to tempt them to pull the Wall creek gradjO on the Monument road or the Deadman hill on the road to Spray. Heppner business men should wake up," Mrs. Cochran continued, "if they really want that trade. The Monument road could be improved or the Spray road tfculd be built, but if Heppner don't want the trade I suppose they don't have to have it." Cecil would be ashamed to own such hollyhocks as W. H. Cleveland claims he has grown at Shepherd's Home. Please hand him the year's subscription to the Herald, and an extra year's sub. for making fence posts out of his hollyhocks.
