FARMERS ID TO
Fight Referendum Says
Spence; Other Market
Agent Notes.
By 0. E. gPENCE, 8UU Market Agent.
Tha farmers of Oregon, and es
pecially thoie Interested In dairying,
should take an active part in a gen
era Imovement to get the full vote
cast against the referendum on the
oleo law. Two and a half million
pounds of Oregon butter had to find
an outside market last year a sur
plus over local demand. Two and a
half million pounds of counterfeit
butter was sold in Oregon last year,
mostly ahipped in from other states.
Dairying is one of the few lines of
farming that there Is any profit In.
The more oleo shut out, the more
demand for real butter. If the far
mers will all vote, the referendum
will be killed and the law made effec
tive. The matter is of utmost Im
portance. ,
It has been printed snd shown that
stoves manufactured In this country
have been shipped to Germany,
bought there by Americans, brought
back to this country, the freight and
expenses of both ocean trips jiaid
here, and the cost was then less than
the selling price by the msnufactur
ers In the city where msde, Syracuse,
N. Y.
The steel trust ships millions of
tons of its products sbrosd where
they are sold at low prices, yet the
high price prevails in this country.
But when the fsrmers sell one
fourth of their whest crop, the sur
plus, abroad at low prices, these
prices make the market for the 800,
000,000 bushels that are sold and con
sumed at home.
The reason why sgrieulture has to
stand for this disadvantage is be
cause agriculture is not organised.
while the manufacturers are tightly i
combined. If the wheat farmers of
the nation were as solidly organized
as the manufacturers, and the bulk
of the wheat was hsndled in one
great marketing association, they
could sell their surplus cheaply
abroad yet get profit prices on the
home market.
It la often pointed out that shoes
are on the free list, yet regardless
of protection the prices remain high
In this country. But it is NOT point
ed out that the manufacturers own
the machines very largely in the for
eign countries, also msny of the for
eign factories, and that in reality
they benefit by msking the shoes
cheaper abroad than here snd there
is no tariff obstruction sgsinst bring
ing them in.
In its agricultural outlook for this
yesr the Department of Agriculture
states that from reports from every
agricultural county in the country, It
finds that there will be a normal pro
duction in general, but that high
wngea, high machinery costs and dif
ficult credits will not permit expan
sion. Spring wheat will be reduced about
14 per cent; corn production will be
increased, but on account of the ser
ious condition of the cattle and hog
industries there is not demand for
the increase; the awine industry is
most discouraging, drastic reductions
in breeding has resulted which may
later result in a shortage; the dairy
industry has expanded to where milk
production slightly exceeds the do
mestic demand, foreign surplus pro
duction is also increasing, and the
department suggests thst further ex
pansion is not warranted. It points
out that 18.000,000 pounds of butter
and 64,000,000 pounds of cheese were
imported last year.
The wool industry is reported as
distinctly favorable and an advance
in production is warranted. Of pota
toes the department says these states
will not increase their acreage; New
Jersey, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Mnnesota, The Dakotas,
Nebraska, Montana, Colorado, New
Mexco, Utah, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. All other states will increase
their acreage.
WHAT IS PROPER
PASTEURIZATION
from Stats Board of Health.
A raw beef steak and a bottle of
raw milk are two of the finest food
substances but It is not safe to con
sume either of them in that condition.
We all understand that raw beef
stesk should be made safe by cook
ing but we have not all come to real
ize that precisely the same sanitary
reasons which deter us from serving
raw beef steak to our children should
prevent us from giving them raw
milk. Raw milk should be msde safe
by the application of heat.
Fortunately we like the flavor of
cooked meat but unfortunately we do
not like the flavor of boiled milk.
Therefore the home treatment of raw
milk so as to make it safe and at the
same time preserve its delightful flav
or is a difficult undertaking.
Close observation has shown thst
the cooked taste begins to appear
when milk is held for some time at
or above 145 degrees F. Accordingly
the problem of preparing a safe and
palatable milk is one of the determin
ing the proper exposure at or below
146 degrees F. required to make milk
entirely safe.
The studies of Doctor Theobald
Smith of the Harvard Medical School,
of Professors Russell and Hastings
of the University of Wisconsin, and
of Doctor M. J. Rosenau of the U. S.
Public Health Service have all agreed
that milk is made safe by holding it
st 140 degrees F. for fifteen minutes.
Because in the heat treatment of
milk we are safeguarding human life,
it is customary and desirable to heat
milk to at least 142 degrees F. for
st least thirty minutes thus giving a
margin of safety of 160 per cent Such
heat treatment will unquestionably
destroy sny disease germs which may
have found their way into it and will
render the mlik safe.

County Unit System
Irrigon, Ore., April 22, 1924.
Editor The Gazette-Times,
The County Unit School Law passed
by the Legislature in 1921 was ap
parently designed to increase taxes
and take the control of local schools
out of the hands of those most in
terested. It will probably be gener
ally conceded that the administration
of local schools comes nearer to the
family relation than any other public
institution. Frequently, if a new
school house is needed, the parents
of the children in the vicinity of the
needed school get together and pro
vide a school house, even when local
school authorities hesitate to spend
public money for the erection of such
a building. When any furniture or
convenience is needed it is not in
frequent for the local community to
hold a public entertainment of some
sort or character, and provide the
necessary funds without calling upon
local school authorities for assist-

M. When the teacher in a local
school becomes nnsatisfactory, the
parent of ths pupils attending the
hool are the nrat to learn of this
condition. When a problem involv
ing the transportation of children to
hool is presented, the people living;
in the immediate vicinity are the
ones first to recognize ths need and
to arrange for solving the problem.
Not one of these things could ever
bo accomplished after the County
Unit School System is adopted in
Morrow county.
The law provides for the election of
five directors who serve without
compensation, but whose expenses are
paid. Many local school dutnets
must of necessity, therefore, be with
out representation on the board, and
problems and troubles must be car
ried to the board snd long distances
traveled in order that thia may be
accomplished. The directors will not
know what is going on in the various i
districts except as it is communicated
to them by the various methods of
communication. In all controversies
arising in these local districts, eaeh !
side will have its own partisans and
information, sometimes false, and
sometimes true must be relied upon
by the directors in making their de
cisions. The board will be authorized
to hire teachers for the entire coun
ty, and while it is true that the law
provides that a local sub-committee
may reject a teacher if notice of re
jection is given thirty days before
the beginning of the school term, yet
it appears that only one rejection
can be made and that no objection
can be made after that time. -The law
abolishes the office of County Super
intendent and provides for a mongrel
office which is neither County Super
intendent nor any other public officer
as at present provided for, and it goes
further and permits the board of di
rectors to pay to some person em
ployed to take the place of County
Superintendent such salary as they
may see fit. All property of each local
school is turned over to the school
board to do with as they see fit. Xf
on local school district is well sup
plied, there Is nothing to binder the
board taking a part or all such sup
plies and distributing them elsewhere
in ths county. It appears to be be
yond successful contradiction that if
the county school unit is adopted by
the people of Morrow county, a blow
will bo struck at the public schools
which will damage that institution
to an extent that it will not recover
for many years. This is a freak law
which never could have been passed
had not the larger cities and counties
been exempted from its operation.
It is a plain attempt to take away
from local people the traditions and
rights which they have cherished for
generations.
