MORROW FARM BUREAU
WILL HOLD MEETINGS
On Monday, December 2uth, the Mor
row County Farm liureau will hold a
meeting at Lexington to arrange for an
election of delegates to a wheat mar
keting convention to be called Imme
diately after the first of the year. The
Farm Ilureau feels that now Is the
time to take action to overcome the
marketing situation as It at present ex
ists. The lending financiers over the
entire country are strongly advising
and endorsing the nation-wide move
ment towards co-operative marketing
Morrow county should get Into the
game. It Is generally admitted that
farm crops In the handB of a good
strong co-operative organisation are
far better security for loans than In
the hands of the Individual farmer. The
meetings which will be held will en
deavor to plrk the very best and most
conservative material possible for this
committee. At the Lexington meeting
the road supervisor for the Lexington
district will he elected: besides this
there will be considerable discussion
of the proposed market road extending
north out of Lexington towards Jar
man and Ttoardman, and of various
other matters In regard to Farm Pu
reau Interests. Every farmer within
reach of Lexington should plan to at
tend this meeting.

FARM HEMIMIER".
Dairymen should not cut down on
their dry feed because of the apparent
abundance of green feed. If they do.
the milk flow will be lessened, and if
thev continue doing it for any length
of time the cows will not give their
full portion of milk until the next lnc
tntlon period. The condition of the
cows will be seriously affected as well
Dairy, O. A. C.
lly using their hay as foed for dairy
heifers, fur Bheep and to a less extent
for Idle horses many successful farmers
not only reduce the amount of hay fed
but got plant feed back into the soil In
an economical and effectlvo way. Not
withstanding this feed and fertilizer
use of straw some farmers continue to
bum their straw stacks annually.

Action favorable to cooperative mar
keting of wheat through the agency of
the Tri-Slate Tennlnnl, was taken by
members of the Farmers' Union In their
state convention recently held at Dal
las. A plan of procedure was outlined
and further steps will be taken soon at
a meeting. of the executive committee
and others to be held at the call of
President A. 11. Shuinway.
Through It. W. Turner, secretary of
the local Union, we learn that a com
mittee consisting of C. W. Nelson, gen
eral manager of the Trl-State Terminal
Co., V. W. Ilarah and Walter M. Pierce
are now In St. Louis, Mo., where they
will attend a convention nation-wide In
scope nnd which will have for Its main
theme, cooperative marketing of all
farm crops.
The state committee on marketing
made Its report which Mr. Turner has
given us and which we publish herewitu
In full:
We, your committee on marketing,
heir leave to report as follows:
1st. Hoard of Trade Wo believe
that speculative trading on the ex
changes abrogates the normnl relation
ship between supply nnd demand, and
ask for legislation prohibiting sales for
future delivery, unless the vendor Is In
actual possession of the commodities
sold; nnd we further endorse the Csp
ner bill now pending in the United
States senate nnd Instruct our secretnry
to notify Senator Caliper. Penator-elec,
Lndd and our senntors from Oregon of
our action,
2nd. We believe thnt nil farm pro
ducts should be sold cooperatively,
thereby enabling the grower or bis rep
resentative to have a voice in fixing the
price thereof.
3d. We believe that all marketing
organizations thnt hnve shown profi
ciency should be supported and used ns
far ns possible. We believe thnt the
Trl-Stnte Terminal Co. Is the most prnc-
tlcnl cooperntlve grain marketing or
ganization in the country, and wo be
lieve the Individual grain grower Is not
In position to properly market his crop
hv renson of his Isolation and for lack
of sufficient Information.
Therefore we recommend that the
president of this union nnd his board,
and such nssltanre ns he may request
shall nt. once prepare, n binding contract
for the individual grnln grower to sign
wllh the Trl-State Terminal Co. nnd If
the president should find that this can
not be-legally done, then thnt the pres
Ident and his assistants shall at once
prepnro n contract whereby the grnln
growers shall form a pool of nil their
ernin for a term of years, with the Trl
State Terminal Co. as their selling
agent.
Inasmuch ns transportation Is bo ex
pensive, wo recommend thnt nil raw
products he manufactured -Into finished
products ns nearly ns possible, espec

slaughter read In the court house at
8:15 last evening Just eight hours after
his case, which had been on trial since
Monday morning, wai given to the Jury.
Originally indicted for second degree
murder by a Grant county grand Jury,
Rader was finally convicted of man
slaughter and carried the case to the
supreme court of appeal. The upper
court reverBed the decision of the lower
court and ordered the case taken back
for retrial! The retrial was brought to
this county on a change of venue mo
tion. nailer's trial was the fourth for mur
der held In Umatilla county before a
Jury this year. W. W. Wilder was tried,
convicted and sentenced to life Impris

There were only a few relatives and
close friends of Itader's In the court
room when the Jury came In last night.
HIb mother and sister ran forward to
embrace him when the verdict was read
and all had faces wreathed In smiles
and tears as the family rejoiced.
Self defense was the plsjt on which
Rader won his freedom and testimony
Introduced by the defense was consid
ered strong enough to clear him. The
lurv. It is understood, debated heatedly
