The follow ing defcriplirn of Font and Mouth Dfftea it. given to acquaint the far mers f Morrow county ith the char acter of this devastating piague. Foot and Mouth Disease has been ltnewn in Furoye for centuries and there has been many theories advanc ed ai to its cause. It is now conceded that the disease is nrpajraud by specific virus ar.d that every out break starts from some pre-existing outbreak. This virus will pass through standard germ proof filters and attempt tn strain it has been unsuccessful. It is highly conupious and spreads to practically all exposed susceptible animals. It might be re garded as essentially a disease of cat tle, but hogs, sheep and goats, and ail cloven-hoofed animals are read ily infected. Horses. dogs, cats, even poultry may occasionally become in fected. Humans are not immune and there are numerous cases on record of their infection. The mortality is comparably low. ranging from about three per cent in mild forms to 35 per cent in the more malignant cases. In general. other sources of loss are more im portant than the actual mortality There is an extreme loss in flesh, and lessening of milk secretion. Cows are frequently rendered permanently val ueless for mi'k production. The in- flamation, of the feet produces great lameness, and sometimes lasting in-1 jury. Abortion is very frequent. Where drastic methods of control are necessary, whole districts are put out of the livestock business for a considerable time. In three to six days after exposure of an animal to infection the disease makes its appearance. It is usually first indicated by the animal suffering a chiil, followed by a fever. These symptoms are not always present or say be so light as to escape notice. After this in one or two days small blisters about the size cf a pea make their appearance on the mucous mem branes of the mouth at the border, the upper surface of the tongue, the inside of the cheeks, on the gums and the inner surface of the lips. These blisters contain a yellowish watery fluid and gradually become more ex tensive as the disease advances. Soon after the eruptions appear in the mouth of the animal, considerable swelling, redness, and tenderness will be noticed about the feet, at the coronet, and between the digits of the feet. A day or two later eruptions, similar to those within the mouth make their appearance upon the swollen regions of the foot. In the case of milk cows the udder, and more particularly the teats, show the same eruption, but the latter as the result of milking soon become cover ed with reddened spots deprived of the superficial layer of skin and may develop deep, obstinate fissures. As soon as the disease has become well established the animal shows pain when eating, often all food is refus ed and the animal opens and shuts its mouth with a characteristic smack ing sound while strings of ropy sal iva hang suspended from the lips. As the disease advances the blisters widen and extend, and they may reach a diameter ranging from that of a dime to that of a silver dollar. These THE HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER 1 ii'Pii!P ly on the second or third day. After ihey have raptured, the grayish wait membrane forming the blister may remain attached for a day or within the mouth and upon the feet. In tn cases the disease attacks the internal organs, before it appears on any of the external tissues. In mot of these eases the animal dies from paralysis of the heart, due to poison in the system. j Medicinal treatment with a view of I curir.g the disease is not practiced in i the Vnited States where the disease has not become established, and dras tic action to stamp it out is taken. All animals affected or exposed are slaughtered, and the carcasses total ly destroyed by burying and covering with lime. The sooner outbreaks of the dis ease are reported and control meas rrea started the less the liability of extensive infection and long periods of quarantine. The outbreak in the United States in 1914 was not dis covered until it had been under way "cr over two months and as a result spread into 22 states before it was brought under control. McNary-IIaugen Bill. The McN'ary-Haugen Bill is said to have drawn more active support and more active opposition than any bill that has been before Congress for a number of years. According to offi cers of the Oregon Export Commis sion league who have been in Wash nigton and to the officers of the American Farm Bureau federation, the bill has at least a fifty-fifty chance of passing at present. Due to the activities of Sidney Anderson of Minnesota, the Minnesota Farm Bu reau is taking a referendum vote of their members on the bill. It is an nounced that the Farm Bureau mem bers in Minnesota are unanimously behind the bill. "The prompt response which farmers are making to the ref erendum is the best possible indica tion of how they feel about the legis lation," said J. C. Reed, president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau feder tion, and vice-president of the Am erican Farm Bureau federation. "It is a well known fact that unless far mers are unusually interested in the proposition they will not go to the trouble of expressing an opinion by mail." A number of senators who have been lukewarm, or opposed to this piece of legislation have announced themselves in favor of the bill. USED CAW AS FROM PAPER MILLS LOOKS GOOD. Samples of used canvas from paper mills in Oregon and British Columbia have been received by the Farm Bu reau, and can be seen at the County Agent's office. This canvas is used in the paper mills as endless belts on which the paper is rolled out. As soon as any small flaw appears in the canvas, it is useless for this par pose, and is discarded. Prices on this material run from ten to twelve cents per pound, f. o. b. mills, and the can vas weighs about three pounds per square yard. It can be secured in widths of 12 ft, 6 in.. 13 ft., 5 in., and 15 ft., 5 inches, and in lengths up to 120 yards. It is believed this canvas is exceptionally good for head er box nets, and for general use around threshing machines. MORO TRIP TO BE JUNE 15. The trip to the Moro Experiment Station will take place about June 15. There will also be field meetings at the two wheat nurseries in the c if s lie Jfc Mrs. Maenus Johnson, wife of the dirt-farmer Senator from Minnesota, frankly admits she pre fers cows to the Capital. With 'he call of Spring in the ail .she could no longer resist so she hs gone home to stay. county between June 15 and 30. Make your plans now to attend these meet ings. There should be at least 100 wheat farmers on the Moro trip this year. Who Is Responsible? (By R. B. WILCOX.) The wheat farmer faces bankrupt cy if present conditions continue. Either prices must come down or he must get a better price for his wheat, A higher plane of living to which the United States has risen would seem to indicate that prices in general are to stay where they are for some time. Then if the wheat farmer is to prosper he must receive a better price for his product. A smaller pro duction of wheat is urged by some as a means of securing a better price. That thus by becoming a buy ing nation rather than an exporting one, the price would be better. Under existing conditions this un der-production is apt to become i reality as a trial solution of the pre sent state of affairs. It will be brought about by the wrecking of the wheat industry. The wheat farmer is merely holding on this year in the hopes of something eoming his way this fall. Ia it necessary to wreck an indus try and impoverish thousands of peo ple, in order that an industry as large and as important as wheat raising, may be put on a sound financial foot- in? Now, who is responsible? There are two plans as a solution. A nearly 100 per cent organization of the farmer that would do as many other classes of business men do, sell their wheat at their own price, working off their surplus on a i eign market at a loss, this loss to be borne by the organization, Thi plan is not feasible as the nearly 100 per cent organization is an impossi bility. The export plan furnishes th other way and may be passed.

Sven the fattest pocketbook ought realize that this Is no tiino fnr financial "rough atuff." Dr. Chapman, excellent scientific worker for the American Museum of Natural History, returns from the Andes mountains bringing a bird that brays like donkey and a duck that can't fly. Before amazement carries you way at thought of a duck that can't fly. ask yourself how many human beings there are that can't think? New Tork Is proud, learning from United States authorities that New York's port handled more than one half of the total ocean passenger traffic of the United States. Seattle. Boston and San Francisco were next. Well, that's to-day's news. How long do you suppose it will be before Jacksonville, Fla., and Los Angeles both have an ocean traffic bigger than that of which New York Is so proud to-day? This country is only start ing, and the really big ports and cities are still to And their place, Those that rule the oil market say there won't be any htg advance In trasollne prices this Spring because muddy roads will hold down the price ". Muddy roads diminish au- tomobillng. Less automoblling means smaller demandi for gas, and smaller demands means that the rulers don't put up the price. In other words. "What will the traffic bear?" not "Wnot to) the paanline cottf" Is the important question. Henry Ford will bny a trollev line conneotine Muscle Shoals with the Gulf at Pensaeola, Fla.. according gress on this bill, much has been done by the farm organizations. If the farmers were all organized throughout the nation and would keep hammering away on this measure success might be theirs. They should say to the big representation from the Northeastern states, "Give us a method by which the tariff can ben efit us as it does you, or we will do away with the tariff altogether." The wheat farmer working on a free trade basis has no show with other business working on a protect ed basis. So the biggest responsibility at pre sent, I believe, rests on the farmer. He should join some farm organiza tion and insist that that organization let its wants be known. Your farm bureau in this county has expressed itself through this paper, and through the local paper, through communica tions, and telegrams to the president and our congressmen on all measures it considered of prime Importance to the people of our county. We are do ing what we can to help things along. If you could possibly see your way clear to place your influence with us we would be glad to have you join the Farm Bureau and help things along. What about the farmers' picnic this year? Last year it was passed up and it's time to make plana for it this year if a picnic is to be held. The Farm Bureau invites suggestions. Why Canada Wants More Settlers. In view of the fact that wheat is Canada's chief product, and there is generally conceded to be a world over-production of wheat, the question frequently arises as to why the Do minion continues its efforts to induce more settlers to come into the West ern provinces, where they will surely engage In the production of still more wheat. It is even more surprising, to thoee who do not analyze the situa tion, that the Canadian wheat farm ers do not protest against this policy. The answer is that Canada, unlike the Lnited States, has no prospect of getting away from an export basis for wheat. It will be generations be fore the population of the Dominion will be large enough to consume even the present annual production of this vetm uncle Jahn My good friend Henry Tun kott is a many-sided man. . , . Hell take a hand in any game, an' play the best he can. . . . So fur as eddication goes, he amt a shinin' light, but he wouldn't fool with nothin' that he didn't think was right. I've heard him prattle half a day, about the war in Greece, and, he'd slam the dad-burn tar iff like a Jestice of the peace, He'd farm it fer a season If the idea hit him square then, swap it fer a barber shop, an' go to cuttin' hair! If you search among the clergy, you will hardly flnj a man; that can preach a better scrmonette than Henry Tunkett can. ,' , , And, while the woods aint set afire by anything -he's done, I reckon he's a genius, if ever there was onol r Fl mow wu - .

Light tn build, hla car could iro&s the Continent at the rate of sixty miles an hour without tak ing on fuel, aud at less than half the present cost of transortatlou. That ought to Interest railroad men now. If It doesn't, the kind of coui lietitlon It will give them will Inter est them later and TOO late. Robert D. Towne says religion is handicapped by a "lack of irood news." There are no more firm as surances, such as the one given to Peter and Andrew: "Follow me. and I will make you fishers of men. mere a.-e no definite as sertions about hell, if you are wick ed, and heaven, if you behave. Clergymen split hairs. Each one believea a part and denies a part. The simple mind wants to believe everything. Perhaps a few miracles would help to revive faith and fill the churches. Suppose the Rev. Dr. Straton should say: "I warn you dissenting clergymen that you are all bound for perdition, and to prove it I shall now change Dr. Jones into a stick of peppermint candy." Would not that convert all if Dr. Jones did stiffen up and slowly turn into striped pepper mint You'd thiak so, but the human heart is hard. You remember the Arabian philosopher, who said to the holy man: "You may say to me, 'Twice two are five, and to prove it I'll turn this walking stick into a live serpent,' but, even if you change your stick into a serpent, I'll still say, that is interesting, but twice two are not five." A gorilla, just arrived, is living in a fine New York hotel. How it would surprise him if. his dull, worried brain could realize that the hotel was built, according to Dar win, by the gorillas, a small, feeble tribe of his own relations, weak in muscle, teeth and claws, and there fore, compelled to think. Thinking, they became rulers of the world.

He was a Gcr man Jew. cereal. No possible curtailment would bring the supply down to a point where a protective tariff would be effective. Canada must continue to sell on the world markets, and at world prices. The United States, on the other hand, Is normally not far from a domestic basis. Were it not for the increased production required by war time necessities, we would be prac tically there now. Furthermore, were it not for the poor quality soft wheats and the durums, we would have little if any wheat for export, and our tariff would be 100 per cent effective. Canada needs more people. Her population is not yet sufficient to per mit the rounding out of that measure of internal industry and commerce which alone can make for national progress and solidarity. The benefits she would realize from a substantia increase in numbers would far more than offset the effect of a hundred million additional bushels of wheat upon the markets of the world. Canadian farmers will have more money, collectively, by producing more wheat. United States farmers would probably have less. Agricul tural Review. County Grain Growers to Meet May 23. The Morrow County unit of the Or egon Cooperative Grain Growers as sociation will hold their annual meet ing In the Council Chambers at Hepp ner on May 23.

The Oregon Livestock Sanitary Board should be backed up in keep ing up a drastic quarantine on ship ments from California. A few let ters from stockmen would do much to counterbalance the pressure being brought to bear, to remove the quar antine. ROLLER TYPE BLADE WEEDER AROUSES INTEREST. The roller type blade weeder orig inated in Umatilla county last year is causing considerable interest among men using blade weeders in this county. Two weeders made by Penland Brothers, of Pendleton, are in use by Tom Boylen, at Pine City. They were not successful in the large weeds on summer fallow last year, but it is claimed they will work wherever the common blade weeder will work. On the heavier soils of the county where the blade weeders are being used, they should show an improvement over the present weed ers, as eight or ten horses will draw twenty-eight feet of blades. Picturei of the various types of these weed ers can be seen at the County Agent'i office. Spring grains were planted in the wheat nurseries at lone and Eight Mile, March 25 and 26. Spring wheat, oats, barley, peas and flax were put in to get a check on their suitability for Morrow county conditions. The following varieties of Spring wheat were planted: Baart. Sunset, Hard Federation, White Federation, Bunyit, Quality, Bobs, Red Bobs, Boadlcea, Redsaac, Currawa, Onas, Major, Fir- bank, Canberra, Marquis, Red Chaff, Bluestem, Little Club, Marquis III, White Chaff Federation. Spring Bar leys: Coast, Mariout, Flynn, Himal aya, Peruvian, Trebi, Meloy Selection III, Hannchen, Union Beardless Blueclub, Blue x Beardless. Oats 60-day, Western Wonder, Swedish Select, Markton, Three-grain. Peas; Carlton, Kaiser, O'Rourke, B Banglia, Admiral. Five varieties of flax were sown to get a check on the possibil ities of this crop. CANVAS NETS VS. SLINGS FOR HEADER BOXES. One of the recommendations from the wheat growers' meeting at Lex ington, was an investigation of the possible saving by using canvas in stead of nets on header boxes. Re ports from three of the men who are using canvas indicates that while the initial cost of the canvas is more than the rope slings, that the canvas will save its cost each season. One man stated that they would pay for themselves each three weeks of har vest. The advantages of canvas nets are that they eliminate the necessity of stopping to elean header boxes, as the canvas puts off the entire load at each dumping. The canvas is easier placed In potation and saves time. Due to these two reasons there is practically no delay at the ma chine, and better average dally runs are made. One of the cautions to be observed is never to feed horses upon the canvas, as the moisture from their mouths cause it to rot. The can vas in use at present Is eighteen ounce material and the cost varies from $22.50 to $27.50 per net. BIG WOOL CLIP LAST YEAR.

Checks by the County Agent, and others, show that at least ten thousand rabbits have been killed to date. Fourteen and Utah, 17,210,000 pounds. Idaho produced 16,455,000 pounds; Ohio, 14,313.000 pounds; California, 14,181,- 000 pounds; and Oregon, 13,200,000 pounds. In the leading producing States wool is mostly a range product, except in Ohio, where It is a product of the farm without the range. The department's first estimate of the mohair clip la 8,651,000 pounds for 1923, as compared with 6,532,000 pounds in the census year 1919. Most of the mohair clip of 1923 was In Texas, for which State the estimate is 7,100,000 pounds. V, S. D. A. Rodent Control Notes. Summer jackrabbit poisoning has been holding the interest of farmers in the rabbit belt for the past two weeks. Practically all of the far mers in the Alpine and Cecil com munities have put out poison salt. hleh has been very effective In con trolling rabbits in this section. To control them tn the Irrigated sectton, the County Agent met with people turned out to put out the sticks at this time. On Sunday, April 20, eight farmers from the east end of the Boardman district met and staked the upper canal bank In this section. The fol lowing are two formulas which give good results; First, mix thoroughly one quart of flour, one-half teacup of sugar, one-half teacup of salt, dis solve one-half ounce of strychnine sulphate in one-half pint of water and stir into the above mixture, add ing enough water to make a rather thin batter. Second: One quart of flour, two tablespoons of salt, one cup of syrup or sugar, and one ounce of strychnine alkaloid mixed with water into a thin batter. Dip freshly cut cedar sticks in this batter and stick In runways. Squirrel Poison: It is not too late to get those squirrels, and all farmers are urged to poison them at once. Mixed poison can be secured for the cost of the grain, at the stores at Cecil and Morgan, Bert Mason's, lone, Karl Beach's, Lexington, and at the County Agent's office in Heppner. The County Agent will be glad to hold mixing days in any community where farmers prefer to bring their grain to be mixed. Boys' and Girls' Club Work. A certificate of achievement has been received for the Lexington Po tato Club and will be presented to the club at a meeting about the first of May. Saturday, April S, a Club demon stration was given at the meeting of the Irrigon Farm Bureau, by the Wil cox children on milk testing. These demonstrations are given merely to show the kind of work that Is being done by Boys' and Girls' Clubs. A Full Program in Spite of Handicaps. (By the Bureau of Agricultural Econ omics, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.) Reports from 43,000 farmers to this Bureau, last month, Indicated In tentions to increase the acreage f corn 3 per cent, oats 7 per cent, bar ley 9 per cent, hay 4 per cent, Rax 54 per cent, sweet potatoes la per eent, peanuts 19 per cent; to decrease spring wheat 14 per cent, potatoes 2 per cent, grain sorghums 6 per eent; and to keep the same acreage as last year of tobacco and rice. Many fac tors influence the situstion before actual planting, but this gives some indication of producers' turn of mind this spring. If these intentons should be car ried out, it would mean Just about the same gross acreage of crops as la-t year. This is the big, general meaning of these reports. Bad times oi good times, sgriculture must meet the responsibilities of property In cluding taxes, debts, and mainten ance. The effort at readjustment becomes more apparent In two majer money crop regions, the Northwest being prompted by poor wheat prices, the Southeast by poor cotton yields. One region is turning to flax, oats, barley and livestock; the other to sweet po tatoes, peanuts, tobacco, poultry, etc. Such shifts reflect greatly disturbed conditions. - V Producers of the great feed crops again apparently contemplate some increase therein. Men with memories four years long, however, recall what a job it has been to work off a sur plus of grain, Of course the multi tudinous pigs of 1923 were Just as hungry for grain as though they did not themselves represent a two years' hang-over of corn cheap enough to burn. So the man with a one-year memory now remembers only high priced corn. It is true that a farmer must grow something, and feedstuff can' some times be carried along when cash crops are an immediate loss. If one expects to produce surplus feed crops to sell his neighbors, he should keep sn eytf on the sits of the neighbors' herds. Indications are that there will be fewer hogs to feed next winter. It is apparent that production this year will still be attended by the dif ficulties arising from high wages, loss of farm workers and the general dis parity between prices of farm and urban products. The situation Justi- i iMi r tf ' 1 3 yrocAfTta flea a very considerate attitude on the part of men who are sttl! proposing new court houses, jails, bridges and certain other projects that mean higher local taxes. SHEEP CLUB ORGANIZED AT BOARDMAN. On April 17, County Agent Morse took fourteen Iambi from the David son and McCurdy ranch at Eight Mile to be distributed to seven boys of the Boardman community who are enroll ed in Club work. This club will be under the leadership of Mr. L. Pack ard, of Boardman, who will be assist ed by Mr. Griggs of the Boardman school. The following boys have sign ed up for thia work: Robert Btrger, Russel Mefford, Buster Rands, Joe Gorger, Eldon Wilson, Carl Wick lander, Laurence Beck. IDEA PUT INTO PRACTICE. Few people are fortunate enough to be able to put their theories and ideas into successful practice, but one man. Will Nigh, has done so. It had al ways been his desire to make a short dramatic, one-reel picture which would have the power and "punch" of a five-reel feature and which would In a way, correspond to the short story in fiction. So he went and made "Among the Missing," the Pathepic ture which will be seen at the Star theater Thursday and Friday. This is the first of a series of three Will Nigh Miniatures which he will produce. Its story, plot and action are said to be as Intense as any so-called "big" feature which has ever been filmed. Lucille La Verne and Nigh himself are the performers who are seen in "Among the Missing," while the lat ter also directed the film.
