We Are Here to Stay and Your Patronage Will Be Appreciated HAYLOR May Yours Be A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 1 Yam Bureau News j & ZJ i (From the Morrotw County Farm Bureau News.) Hrlp Morrow Coub7 tie! iMto the (.ante President Mansfield of the Oregon Farm llureau has announced thut he will call a meeting of wheat farmers, shortly after the ftrnt of the year to de cide upon a mnrketinK Ikin for mar keting wheat in the stute of Oregon. We have all of us tried the old plan Just one year too often. There Is no question but we must have a chaiiK" The National Farm Bureau will report a marketing plan, upon which It has spent a good many thousand dollars and several months hard study, the first of January. Probably this will be adopted. The Washington and Main Wheat Plan will come up for consider ation. There is also a modification of the Washington-Idaho plan, which hus been made and some believe that It will meet Oregon's conditions. This will also be given consideration. Morrow county raises a very largo amount of wheat, as a matter of faci It ranks third among the counties In the state of Oregon. Morrow county must be represented at this meeting. Meul-i ings will bo held at lone, Lexington, Morgan and llcppner to elect delegates to this meeting. We should have the ihosI level-headed farmers Hint you arc able to select. We are going to expect these men to bring back plans which the) think will be workable for Mor row ccunty. The Morrow County Farm l:uroi.u expects to undertake to sou that this is put into execution. For this purpose we are going to require ccr.sldoiable funds. It will cost mono to send these dolegntcs to Portland.' ThtbC expenses must bo mot When these men com back with their plans meetings will be called at which they will be dlscuBHOd and get tho farmers view point. However, In order to make any of these plans workable the very largest possible number must sign up this agreement. For this reason we ex pect to not only talk the matter over but soe that organisers go over the county and Interview every farmer. If you have some better way of putting this thing acroBS we will bo glad to hear from It but this Is the way the thing has been done in the past and wo know of no other way In which we can really guarantoe success. For this ren son we want every wheat farmer In the county to be a member of the FARM UUItEAU. We believe that this Is your business. We believe that you have the Interest of the farmers at heart and that the way to put across a progrnm If for the farmers themsolvos to show thai thsy are Interested by Joining the or ganisation that Is backing them up. and by providing their own funds. The executive committee and tho farmers nt their annual meeting decided upon n 15.00 membership fee. Below you will find a blank which we hope that you will mall to this office as an applica tion for membership. We would prefer that you send a check, payable to K. M Hulden, treasurer of the Morrow Coun ty Farm Bureau. We would like to have your membership In by the end of the year If possible. If, howevor, you do not have the money nt that time make tho check payable the llith of January, at which time wo shall expect to need a very large proportion of the funds. During the past year we have saved a part of the membership foe for 1920. In the next Issue of tho Farm Bureau News we expect to make n statement of the funds on hand and tho disposition In which It has been made by the Farm Bureau of the money In trusted to It during the past senson. We know that you are Interested, that you want to Join. We hope thnt you will take your pen In hand an I send In your application now, and bo sure thnt when you send in your appli cation that you get a receipt back from this offlco, otherwise you will have rea son to doubt that your application has ever been received. j very htrKt number. We hope everyone j will realize that it requires some time i to work out any particular program land that Ihe men who have this year ' received special benefit probably will another season receive tio direct bene fit whatever. We have" dui ing tho last year orpan ir.ed tliliteen communities. Some of these were ill advised, they should have consolidated with other larger communities. The loss to farmers through usln mixed seed in .Morrow county is esti mated by the wheat dealers of the county to amount to $SO,I)00 per annum. When the Farm llureau was In.stituted there was at that time only about 500 acres of pure seed In the entire county. This year, through importation and se lection itf seed, we havo built this up to fiooo acres. It Is allcipateil that next year we will have lft.000 acres of cer tified seed In Morrow county. From this It will be but a short Jump to good seed on every f:irm. The Farm Bureau carried out tho greatest rabbit campaign ever put on in the Columbia Basin. which cost $4200 in money and was a tremendous success. In only oire or two commun ities will it be necessary to put on campaign this winter, but the Farm llureau must always be prepared to protect the farmers against these pests. It dlrl 131,3(10 of cooperative market ing nt cost to tire co-operators. This is as much as Die business of a good sited grocery slorc for a year. This business was a direct saving to the far mers of J1O.0U0. They furnished one ton of squirrel poison to farmers nt a saving of at least TO per cent. They bought and distributed 48,000 gallons of distillate. Are directly responsible for working out a road program for the northern half of Morrow county. They have, through their local organisation select ed two-thirds of the road supervisors of the county. In this they have had the co-operation of the members of the county court nnd the county roadmaa ter. Held a Farm Bureau picnic nt which i'iSII farmers participated. Provided vaccine for M'O head of cat tle. I,nid out a drainage program for the Hoarilman section mid secured its con struction. The Farm Bureau have had six reser voir silos, and Initiated a petition for tho Willow Creek Irrigation District. They havo initiated nnd carried at the oast election by a two to one vole a Rodent and Predatory Animal Bill, which will enable them to take care of tho coyotes, squirrels and rabbits of tho county. They have sprnjed ST, orchards on Willow crock. They have held three county-wide meetings for the stabilization of farm wages, which has been a saving to the farmers of the county. Have Imported one ton of high grade C.rimm alfalfa seed. The first ever Im ported Into tho county. In assisting' Ihe Farm Bureau to do this work the County Agent has visited on their farms 412 fanners.

A Few of the Accomplishments of the Morrow County Farm Bureau for 1920. Morrow county has Just complotcd Its first year of organised work. In un dertakltig the Farm Bureau work In Morrow county this year the farmers have had great direct benefit from the activity of the Farm Bureau. We be lieve that thye has been an Indirect benefit to a good many. Wo know that a direct benefit has been received by a carefully plowed land and carefully cul tivated summerfallow. Rood Bros, seeded 1,500 acres of care fully prepared summerfallow which had been worked probably more vigor ously than any other piece of ground In the county. This land was thoroughly disked, some of It two and three times before plowing and thoroughly cultl vated after plowing and also plowed very deep. We know of a great many farmers who are farming a smaller ter ritory, who have also used exceptionally good methods this year, and we believe thnt these good methods will get re sults. Let us all watch another year and see what the yield la from these fields. The County Farm Bureau. It must not be considered for a mo ment that the National and .State Plans, which cover legislation and marketing, cover all the problems which the farm er haa to take care of. THHltE IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR A COUN TY FARM BUREAU ORGANIZATION, which has been proved through- years of experience In order to develop many problems of increased production, bet ter livestock handling' methods, better farming methods, and. above all to serve as a medium of direct communication between the farmer and his state and national organizations. The work then of the county organ!-1 zatlon differs from the State In several vital points but is absolutely essential to the success of these. The statistics on cost of production, cost of distribu tion, and on general home conditions, can only be gathered through county organizations..

Morrow County Farmers Use Good Tillage Methods.

To pay wages sufficient to maintain an efficient and contented organi zation. To earn a revenue that will enable it to borrow the money absolutely necessary in its operations and to afford a reasonable profit to its owners. In the State of Oregon today our earnings are insufficient to accom plish these results and we have asked the Public Service Commission of the State to approve a schedule of rates which we believe will provide the added revenue required. No question of stocks, bonds, br capitalization is involved. The Commission will base its decision upon a fair value of our property for rate making purposes and our earnings and expenses. We believe that the public, realizing the benefits of adequate tele phone service, will support this effort on our part to insure the main tenance and development of a high standard of telephone communica tion.
