(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.

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

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.

In assisting' Ihe Farm Bureau to do

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.
A grout many of the wheat farmers
of Morrow county have boon making n
change In their methods of cultivation
during tho last two or three years and
it is generally reported Hint tills fall
there was the greatest amount of good
suinniorfnllow in actual cultivation and
seeded to crop that there has been, In
Morrow county for several years.
Mr. Dwight Misner, who lives north
of lone, this full seeded 1,750 acres to
carefully prepared HUmmerfallow,
which wns all plowed before the 10th
day of April. This wns kept clean of
woods nnd was all seeded during the
month of October. Unless some severe
misfortune should overtake this crop
there Is no reason to' doubt but that it
should make a yield of twenty bushels
por ncre.
Mr. K M. Hulden, who lives north of
llcppner In the Black Horse country,
seeded about 1,100 ncrcs also during
the month of October, which was on

To give good telephone service.
To keep its property in good repair and expand it to meet the require
ments of the public.
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. PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
