THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, MOlOW FARMERS n I E Copper Carbonate Used to Treat 2V 00 Acre, of Crop Seeded Thi. Fall. In these days of low prices of farm product., economical production U a matter of first importance. Factors which reduce production costs ar. being eagerly sought by farmers. A 15 or 20 per cent saving In any farm operation is a substantial ona. A 20 per cent saving in seed coat is being effected by owners of 26,000 acres of wheat land in Morrow county. They are sowing 20 per cent less wheat and getting as good or better stands than their neighbors, according to F. L. 1'nllarrt, assistant county agent lead u. The reason for this is treatment of seed with copper carbonate instead of copper sulphate or formaldehyde solutions as in past years. These so lutions used wherever wheat is sown in the western country for smut con trol always kill an appreciable per centage of the seed. Copper carbon ate applied as a dust does not kill any of the germination powers of the seed wheat and therefore 20 per cent less, on a conservative basis, should be sown, according to G, K. Hyslop, of the Fsrm Crop Department of the Oregon Agricultural College. While treating seed wheat with copper carbonate is new this year in Oregon, it has been practiced suc cessfully many years in Australia. Last fall county agents in Eastern Oregon counties persuaded a few wheat growers to try the new mettl ed and the results everywhere have been successful. In some eases the new treatment is more effective in actual smut control than are the old methods. In other instances it is somewhat less effective and on the average has about the same effective ness. This conclusion is reached af ter extensive experimental trials in Oregon, Washington and California, supplemented by extensive field dem onstrations in these states. The new treating method was grasped most eagerly by wheat farm ers in Morrow county and the stands secured this fall on the 25,000 acres of winter wheat sown with the re duced seeding looked particularly good for this season. Twelve farmers there tried out the new method last spring. Figuring copper carbonate stands as one hun dred per cent, the stands secured from treating with the solutions stood at seventy-four per cent. There was about one per cent advantage in smut control in favor of the old methods. L. Redding, of Eight Mile, had less than half a stand because of injury to seed by treating with the old time solutions. J. O. Turner of Heppner, had a two-thirds stand and R. Finley of Lexington, had only a thirty-five per cent stand, which in comparison to the fields on which they had treated with copper carbon ate looked very slim. A smaller acreage in Umatilla, Sherman, Union and Wasco counties, has been sown. These acreages will be used again by the county agents sb demonstrations. The largest acreage treated with copper carbonate in the Northwest is found in Walla Walla county, where 32,000 acres of spring wheat was sown after this treatment, Co lumbia county, Washington, has 20, 000 acres treated. Free Government Seeds For Distribution Soon Congressman N. J. Sinnott has no lifted The Gazette-Times that be will make distribution of government seeds allotted to turn this pear thru the papers in his District, as this method has proved so successful for several years in getting same Into the hands of those who most desire them. Congressman Sinnott will also send seeds to any constituent writing directly to him at Washington, after they are ready for distribution after the first of the year. There will als. be a few hundred flower seeds avail able for distribution. Gooseberry Read Improvement. There is no hope for an appropria tion of Market Road money for the Gooseberry road for some time te come. An adjourned meeting of the commissioners last week, with Bleak man absent, resulted in nothing be ing done. We are informed Judge Campbell favored delay in the mat ter, and that settled it, aa Commis sioner Davidson was powerless, how ever much he desired that something should be done at once. As soon as the weather becomes favorable temporary work on the road will begin and pushed as long as the liberal donations of labor and oney made by the residents along the rond and the citizens of lone last.

American Farmer Has More Foreign Exports Than Before The War Government Records Expose Falsity of Charge That He Has Lost Mar kets Because of "Isolation. Washington, Jan. 2. The Ameri can farmer has not been deprived of a foreign market because of the re fusal of the United States to enter the League of Nations or to join any European league of alliance or to be a participant in any European con ference, or to agree to cancel any European loans. All of the propaganda now being fed the American farmer to the effect that he is a sufferer because of the refusal of this government to become identified with European embroglios is a tissue of lies manufactured out of whole cloth. . Tiie "warnings" which various Eu ropean lecturers touring this coun try and League of Nations advocates (principally Democrats who were prominently identified with the Wil son administration) are issuing to the effect that the farmer will never re gain his foreign markets until the United States "does her part" in re establishing normal conditions in Eu rope are sheer misrepresentations. The proof of this falsity is fur nished by the official reports of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce. The American farmer in the fiscal year of 1913, when Europe was normal, ex ported 258,343,629 bushels of grain and grain products. For the fiscal year 1921 he exported 543,375,523 bushels of grain and grain products, and for the fiscal year 1922 he ex ported 544,220,964 bushels of grain and grain products. In other words the American farmer has since the war, and is today exporting twice hte amount of grain and grain products that he exported prior to the world war. During the fiscal year 1913 the ex ports of meats, dairy products, ani mal and vegetable fats, amounted to 1.610.053,715 pounds. For the fiscal year 1921 they amounted to 2.3S4, 517.262 pounds. For the fiscal year 1922 they amountd to 2,192,174,236. In other words, the American farmer is exporting 30 per cent more meats, dairy products, animal and vegetable fats, now than he did prior to the world war when conditions in Europe were "normal." Our exports of tobacco leaf in the fiscal year 1913 amounted to 418,796, 906 pounds. For the fisca lyear 1921 they amounted to 496,878.830 pounds. For the fiscal year 1922 they amount ed to 461,655,221. Cotton shows a decrease. Exports of cotton since the war Bhow a de crease as compared with pre-war records. The figures are as follows. For the fiscal year 1913 we exported 8.724,572 bales of raw cotton. For the fiscal year 1921 we exported 5, 408.986 bales. For the fiscal year 1922 we exported 6.541.841 bales. Two reasons are assigned by the Bureau of Foreign Commerce for the de crease of raw cotton exports as com pared with the pre-war period. First, a shorter production in thiB country and second, a tremendous increase in the consumption of raw cotton by American cotton manufacturers. The two combined left less surplus for export. The Bureau of Foreign Com merce might have added a third rea son, namely, European cotton manu facturers are buying more extensive ly of Egyptian and other cotton raised in countries where land is cheap and coolie lnbor is employed. The Bureau of Foreign Commerce shows that of our total exports since the war 55 per cent have been those of agricultural products. It shows furthermore than 76 per cent of our exports of agricultural produce has gone to Europe. The total figures for the current calendar year of 1922 will not be available until some time this month, but the figures for the calendar year 1921 show that the American farmer exported during that year more pro ducts than the avernge of any five ytar peace period in the history of America. He exported more products during that year than any ono peace year in the history of America. These figures are sufficient to dis prove all the silly propaganda that is being put out from Democratic, League of Nation, and European sources to the effect that the Ameri can farmer has lost his export trade because the United States has re fused to become identified with the quarrels of Europe, 4, 1923.

Fair Caller (blushing furiously): "Oh, I just hate te do it, and George would be dreadfully angry, but I have a love letter here which describes me fully, if you would care to see rt." Better Safe Than Sorry. The story is told of a new reporter on a daily paper who was assigned to gsther police news and was given the customary warning as to the im portance of accuracy and danger of libel suits if bis statements were not properly qualified. He was told that until facts were fully proved, it. was aiways safer to make use of such terms and phrases as "alleged," "it is said" and others similar. It happened to be vacation time, and the newspaper office was short handed. In an emergency the new po lice reporter had to be called on to write up a society item, and this is tne way it read when he turned it in: "A woman giving the name of Mrs. J. G. Jones, who is said to be one of the social leaders of the city and claims to reside at 1749 Capitol Hill Avenue, is said to have given what purported to be a reception yester day afternoon. It is understood that a considerable number of so-called guests, alleged to be ladies notorious in society circles, were present and some of them are quoted as saying that they enjoyed the occasion. It is charged that Bower furnished the alleged refreshments and Stringem the purported music. The hostess is said to have worn a necklace of al leged pearls which she claims were given to her by ber reputed hus band. Selected. Business Is Business.

When he is little he wants candy but can't have it, and when he is a man he can get it but doesn't want it.
