be advisable to take for future bene
fitting of these rights.
Mr. Keithley produced a letter,
which was read by the secretary,
showing that the county presidents
of Eastern Oregon were called to
present the Farm Itureau, the Farm
Bureau defraying all expenses of his
trip.
It was moved by R. W. Turner,
that the Morrow County Farm Bu
reau adopt a resolution declaring It
self to be in favor of a state Farm
Bureau with a paid secretary. Mo
tion seconded by Ed Kugg and car
ried unanimously.
After taking up and discussing the
fact that the Farm Bureau would
be meeting with the County Court to
pass upon road matters, it was mov
ed and seconded that a committee of
two be appointed to confer wth the
court to represent the Farm Bureau
and assist in working out any road
program, and also to represent the
Farm Bureau in presenting a re
quest for an appropriation for the ro
dent control campaign of last win
ter. Accordingly Adam Knoblock,
road committeeman, and Ed Rugg
were appointed.
In discussing the hay situation it
was the unanimous opinion of the
members present that if it were pos
sible to assist some of the farmers
in the northern part of the county
to sell their hay, that the Farm Bu
reau should do everything possible

or controlled by organizations which 'Keithley, proceed to LaGrande and re
do work with cost as the basis of op
eration, it is easy to see that these
farmers are the only ones who are
not organized, and that they are the
ones who are going to pay the profit
for the other man without any
chance for a come back. It is too
late a stage for any man to say that
any organization of farmers cannot
succeed. Organization must succeed.
It has succeeded and it wiU continue
to succeed. A few days ago we re
ceived a letter from the Washington
Hay Growers association which is a
Yakima valley organization, stating
that they had reached an agreement
with the United Dairy association of
Washington to supply their hay this
year. The price will start with $23
a ton, f. o. b. shipping point, and the
advances throughout the season will
be enough to aUow for storage, in
terest on money invested and insur
ance. This will cover a deal calling
for 60,000 tons of hay. The price
to the dairymen is Dasea on me cost ;
of producing hay. The cost in the ja
Vibima tbIIpv. fipiirpri hv this asso- 13
ciation, of a ton of hay grown and j !
delivered baled at the cars is $20 a
ton. The association requires $1.00 1
a ton for the handling and, by this . :
contract, the grower receives $2 prof- j
it. II
It is planned by this organization ;
that the speculation in hay will be j j
eliminated. It is hoped to keep it :
above cost of production for the ben-
eflt of the hay producers.
Here is one concrete example of
organized dairymen who have suc
ceeded in getting a stable price for
their product, and organized hay pro
ducers who are working with the
dairymen to get cost plus profit for
the product all down the line. The
time is here when not only these or
ganizations but wool grower, the cat
tle raiser, and the grain grower will
also receive cost plus profit for their
product. Let us all help hasten the
day and keep our eye on a cost-plus

It was moved that the Farm Bu-

eligible to membership in the Mor

minor Interest the meeting adjourn
ed until the fourth Saturday of September.
How To Sow
Grain Shallow
The farmers of Morrow county are,
many of them, talking the necessity
of sowing their grain shallow this
fall. It is a well known fact that
grain sown too deep largely fails to
come through the ground and a poor
stand and a poor yield are the re
sults, as well as a plentiful supply of
weeds. The farmers of Sherman
county have been working with this
problem for a considerable time and
make a practice of releasing the
springs on the drills, as well as,
where necessary, pulling the levers
clear back and tying them out of the
notches. If your ground is level you
will probably have no trouble in sow
ing any depth that you may desire.
If, however, you have sidling ground

I WHY NOT
Let a Fordson do your plowing, weed
ing, seeding, or any of the Fall
work you may have to do.
DO YOU know that the Fordson has introduced
real efficiency in farming at a cost so low as
1 to insure a profit to the man who tills the soil.
j When you buy a Fordson you are not tying up a great
quantity of money in machinery, yet you get results.

it is something of a problem to keep'
it up at a reasonable depth from one
half to one and one-half inch.
Where difficulty of this kind is ex
perienced, when releasing the(
springs and tying back the levers do
nut n mp.i In ha nnAlniiinl uanl Pa '
mors in Sherman county have adop
ted the expedient of drugging a
twelve inch board in front of the disk
or holes of the drill and upon this
twelve inch board erecting another
twelve inch board edgeways, spaced
at such distance that It will allow the
disk to drop into the ground only the
required distance. This is an abso
lute check on allowing the grain to
go too deep. If the ground is uneven
some difficulty rjiay be hud in keeping
the grain covered at all, but it is bet-1
to have a little laying on top than to
have too much go too deep. The ver- i
tical board will rest against the bars
of the drill and it can be wired to
these, or the board dragging on the
ground may be stayed with runners
so that there is no danger of it tip
ping or canting out of line. This
expedient has been tried successfully
by the farmers of Sherman county
and we believe that it will work here.
Anyway if you are troubled along this
line it is worth a trial.

and by working the ground while still
moist will go a long ways towards
preventing the crusting of ground in
the spring.
