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.

county in an agreement not to handle
or sell the butter substitutes, the
movement is spreading into other
counties, yet leaders in the movement
report that in some counties the far
mers themselves do not apparently
take interest in the matter of helping
to line up the merchants. 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 committee is work

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

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

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. Conditions for
(Termination were so favorable last
fall tl-nt an exceptionally heavy stand
secured in all of the counties,
