been adopted by folks of the West and mid-Western States as a logical way to overcome high operating cost
of railroads, and they are serving their purpose. All that is needed is the proverbial "streak of rust, then

FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS
NATIONAL BANK-
Heppner
Oregon
Washington, April 25 That the
enactment of the emergency agricul
tural tariff bill is essential if the
prosperity of the farmers of the
country is to be restored is evidenced
by figures presented by Representa
tive George M. Young, of South Da
kota, in charge of the bill for the
Ways and Means committee in the
House. He said:
"The annaul consumption of flax
in the United States is 25,000,000
bushels. We imported 24,000,000
in 1920. In other words, we import
ed all of our needs excepting 1,000,
000 bushels. We raised in this coun
try last year about 1 1 ,000,000 bush
els. That leaves 10,000,000 bushels
of flax to flood this market and de
press the price.
"I will give you a few figures to
just show how this works out to the
man who raises flax. The total acre
age of the United States was 1,785,
000 acres in 1920. The total produc
tion was 10,990,000 bushels, giving
an average yield per acre of 6.2 bush
els. About one-third of that flax was
grown in North Dakota. The aver
age there was 5.3 bushels per acre.
The last quotations, which reached
me last night, in the Grand Forks
Herald, gives the price at $1.22 for
flax. That would mean $6.47 per
acre as the gross return from flax;
$6.47 per acre is scandalously below
the cost of production. The aver
age cost of raising flax in North Da
kota was $15.70 per acre, according
to the United States Bureau of Mar
kets. The cost in Minnesota was
$21.40 per acre.
' The situation in respect to live
stock is of a highly emergency char
acter. During the winter of 1918
and 1919 there was very little snow
in the Northwest and in the moun
tain states, and in the following sum
mer there was a very severe drought
which dried up the pastures and mea
dows, and during the winter of 1919
20 there was need for buying hay and
other feed to winter the stock. It is
true that during the war the growers
of live stock had been able to do fair
ly well and to accumulate something,
but during that winter they had to
buy hay that used to cost $4 to $6 a
ton and pay $20 to $25 a ton. Soj
that in the spring of 1920 it was a1
very rare stock raiser of the West
I who did not owe more to the bank
jthan his stock was worth after the
slump came. In other words, after
the price of live stock and meat had
been deflated, the stock was mort
gaged for more than it was worth,
and it was impossible for the banks
to secure liquidation."

itween Congress and the White

: stead of being coldly received in or

confers with the leaders in Congress
upon legislation. Before he sent his
message he consulted the members
of the Committee on Foreign Rela

done with the idea that it is the nat

all Republicans in both Senate and
