THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1924. PAGE THREE EGG GRADING LAW IT HHERED IB Frost and Lack of Rain Make Crop Prospects Appear Blue. CompUinti of shippers come to the market ttgent that shipments of ejrps graded at country points do not take the same grade when graded by the dealers in Portland that they are graded down on size. The market agent is asked if there is not some means of verifying these grades. The market agent law makes it the duty of the market agent to "investigate complaints and, upon request, Act as mediator or arbitrator in any con troversy or issue that may arise among producers, distributors and consumers of such products and in case the parties to the dispute fail to reach an adjustment, he may make hia findings public." The matter of grading eggs according to size and weight is simple and there should not be any marked difference between the grading of the shippers and the buy ers, if the graders observe the stand ards. In cases of dispute of grades, however, the market agent will have the cases re-graded by competent of ficials, if requested to do so. ''The only thing wrong with co operation in that it doesn't work." How often this cynical remark made by people who do not know what they are saying, and who do not take the trouble to find out the facts. The occasional co-operative failure is al ways "played up," while the collapses of private businesses every day are taken as a matter of course. During the eleven years, from 1913 to )2'i, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the money losses be cause of farmers' co-operative organ izations going out of business were less than three-tenths of one per cent of the total business of co-operatives during those eleven years. Private business cannot show such a record. Since Tillamook county farmers lined up all the merchants of that She Wants a Husband Chance at Dempsey 9 q."

If the farmers would unite in this fight against milk and butter substitute there would hardly be a merchant in the state, outside of Portland, who would handle the counterfeit. Union county is now putting on the drive. Frosts have materially injured the early fruit in many counties of the state. Strawberries, cherries, apri cots, pears and like fruits have been killed. Hood River, La Grande and Walla Walla report killing frosts and much damage. Growers in the Willamette valley have asked the state market agent to help them find markets for hairy vetch seed. If any farmers are in the market for this seed, the market agent will put them in touch with the growers. The embargo against foot and mouth epidemic in California is yet held tight against that stnte, and one of the results will doubtless be good demand for nearly all Oregon fruits and vegetables this season. The fed eral government now has entire charge of the situation in California and every precaution is being taken to prevent its spread and stump it out. Oregon is far behind its usual rain fall, in fact nearly all utate west of the Rocky mountains are below the average amount of mointure. Eastern Oregon is thus early short of needed rain and forest fires are breaking early record a. In the Blue mountains there is very little snow, so stockmen report, and the irrigated sections are' uneasy about their water supplies. CHILD HEALTH DEMONSTRATION Prom Stat Board of Helt. Vr. Frederick D. Strieker, state health officer of Oregon, has received questionnaires from the Child Health Demonstration commitee, prepared for counties and cities of this state that file application for the demon stration. This committee represents both the Commonwealth Fund which is Onancii.g the demonstration and the American Child Health associa tion, which will supervise it. These questionnaires will be used as a guide to the information needed by the Child Health Demonstration committee in making the selection of the community for the demonstration to be placed In one of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states. Dr. Strieker said that the question naires requested from cities will be answered by the mayor, or city man ager, president or secretary of a civic organization, or some well in formed and interested citizen. In the case of counties the county officials will fill out the questionnaires to be submitted to the committee. The health officers in the eleven states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washing ton and Wyoming, are taking an ac tive interest in the child health dem onstration contest, according to a re cent statement made at New York headquarters.

The child health demonstration to be located in a community between 20,000 and 75,000 population in the Far West will aim to help that par ticular community in creating condi tions that will raise its health stand ards and solve any existing health problems. The demonstration should also be beneficial to neighboring com munities and the directors of the pro gram hope that it will be even more far-reaching and influence the promo tion of health throughout the promo Western area. The demonstration program will cover a five-year period. During this period there will be intensive work along health lines. The demonstra tion will be conducted along these lines similar to the demonstrations now being carried on byihe commit tee in Fargo, N. D.; Athens, Georgia; and Rutherford County, Tennessee, where a staff of doctors, pediatri cians, public health nurses and sani tation specialists have introduced health education programs in the schools, established well-baby con ferences and pre-natal clinics and assisted the communities with prb- !mi sueh as water and milk supplies, high infant and maternity mortality rates and other factors affecting the health of the children and mother.

Jackman Finds Wheat Crop to Be Damaged The wheat crop of the Columbia basin country in Oregon, comprising Wheeier, Gilliam, Morrow and Uma tilla counties can not be expected to produce the wheat crop that was promiyed by its condition early this spring, even if a general rain should fall tomorrow, according to the opin ion of . R. Jackman, crop specialist of Oregon Agricultural college. .Some irreparable damage has been done, and in all the counties there are areas where the crop will lack considerable of producing a normal yield, he declared.
