THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1924. PAGE THREE IS WHEAT LOWERED Canadian Editor Hrings Fact Again to Public Attention. Hjr C. E. SI KNOB, Bute Market Agent. While the price of wheat in the United Status has declined by ap proximately && per cent since l'J17. the price of bread has been reduced by lesi than b per cent. In other word the drop In wheat prices has been ten times the drop in bread prices.-Ontario (Canada) Sun. This U a Canadian editorial com ment, illustrating again the two standards, the disproportionate re lationship which exists between the price of farm products and the price of those products after other inter ests have seized them. Wheat went down ten points and bread one point. From the authority of the Depart ment of Agriculture conies the state men that a pound lonf which cost 6.3 In 1914 now costs 9 cents, while the margin between the flour price and the bread price has increased from $10.40 to $1S.30. The Depart ment states that ttiis condition hurts both producer and consumer and thut "all Interests in the country, includ ing those of the bakers and millers, would be benefitted by the restora tion of a normal ratio between the price of wheat when It leaves the farmers' hands and its price to the consumer." The bakers are almost solidly organized. They fix the bread price and get it, regardless of what they pay for flour, to it would seem. State Grange Muster Goss of Wash fngton state says that two million people left the farms last year; more than half of the population of thin country is now living in the towns and cities; only about one-fourth of the people are now on the farms; that farm mortgages are fast Increas ing; that the farms are fast slipping away from the farmers and farmers fast slipping away from the farms. Mr. Goss has for weeks been endeav oring to get his national marketing bill recognized by congress lenders -a bill which would abolish speculat ing in grain and bring agriculture up to the other standards--but like Speed Still His I' hi i x 3 .

A dairyman at Horing, in Clacka mas county, givt'S his system of mak ing dairying prolituhle under prt-f-ent condition: He da. a uilo and feeds corn enfilade; be grows his oats and grinds them, and he feeds a small quantity of molasses with his hay. ile Mays he does not feed a pound :A miller' feeds, and he does not see how a dairyman can make it when he pays almost a much for bran as the farmer gets for his whole wheat. "Farmers are getting 1 '4 cents per pound for their wheat and paying cents per pound for mill feed that has little but bran in it," Bays tli is dairyman. "Until this profit spread is cut down, I can't sec how a dairyman can make money on mill feeds to his stock." The egg grading rules and regula tions, recently ordered Ly J. 'D. Mickie, state dairy and food commis sioner, were utged. among others, by the state market agent, whose duties under the law are to aid standardiza tion of products. Oregon produces a lurge surplus of eggs that must tirid outside markets, and they must be graded and standardized to com pete In the eastern markets. Like all new laws along this line, the- egg ruling of Mr. Mickle has been criti cized. On one side the producers think the ruling is too drastic while on the other hand consumers and members of the trade think the rul ing is not being drastically enforced. The same double criticisms resulted when the potato grading law was put into effect, but the market agent went ahead with education of both producers and shippers rather than with wholesale prosecutions. The re sult is that the law does not now re quire much enforcement, producers, shippers and consumers alike recog nizing the benefits of the honest pucks and generally observing and upholding the law. ECTHYMA A Com municable Skin Disease From Sut Hoard of Health. This form of skin eruption Is not strict I y speaking a disease separate or distinct. It is rather a modified form of Impetigo Contagiosa, and is due to a streptococus infection the same as Impetigo. It occurs in most cases on the extremities, the lower in particular, but the trunk and neck are often attacked. The eruption begins as a very small Mister or vesicle but instead of the clear anther colored rruhts of Im petigo, the cruets are thick and dark in color, a(ihfriti clop!v while a slight ulceration forma beneath the entirely destroyed epidennU. The lesion spreads at the circumference dissecting up a cup of epidenmU collarette" with a red or purplish halo surrounding. The spota vary in ize from that of a split pea to a half-dollar. On the backs of the hands and on the legs large sized crusts Usually occur and consequent- i ly larger areas of purplish pigmenta- i tion are left after healing whila les ions on the trunk are much smaller and leave small dark brown pigment ary spots. It is not uncommon to see Ecthy ma situated solely on one or both shin bones, forming indolent scab bing ulcers with large purplish sur rounding zone. It is frequently an accompaniment of some itching dis ease such as pediculosis corporis or scabies, infection taking place in abrasions produced by scratching as the lesions are auto inocuable. Every physician has encountered the blis tering infection spreading from the margin of a cut o rscratch in which the blister soon changes to a yel lowish color and scales over. This is the very phenomena of Ecthyma and is probably carried by the same strain of streptococci which cause the crust to change to a turbid yel low.

Ecthyma is spokea of as a "alum disease be cause it is so often encountered among poorly nourished or over crowded city dwellers. The disease attacks all ages and both sexes, but is more common in adult males. It is more indolent and chronic in un dernourished anaemic individuals. Children with Ecthyma should be ex cluded from school as the disease is communicable. The treatment consists of cleanli ness, good food, improved living con ditions an diion tonics which should be continued for several months until there is a complete restoration to normal health. The local treatment consists of re moving the crusts with a weak white pricipitate ointment, not stronger than one-third of the U. S. Pharma copoeia strength. If Ecthyma occurs in combination with scabies the treatment should be first directed to the eradication of the itch infection. Ecthyma is a com municable disease and should be re ported to the health department. For aale at once, all my household furnishings, Mrs. Ray Moore, city.
