AGRICULTURE IN
I
Co-operation and Political
Action Recommend
ed As Remedy. '
Aa long fci the price disparity be
tween the farm and the home remains
the buying power of the farma will
be limited. The balance must be re
stored before there can be generally
proaperoua condition!. When the
feeding industry of a country ii wast
ing toward insolvency, business of
the whole country will eooncr or lat
er be effected.
Canada la in even worse condition
than our country over the decline of
agriculture, and the government Is
atriving to find the cauae and a rem
edy. Low prices, high operating and
distributing costs, the levy of the
middle interests and high railroad
ratei are given as the principal
eausei. E. J. Garland, member of
parliament, stated in a recent speech
at Montreal, that 70 per cent of the
farms In western Canada had been
taken away and are Dw owned by
the banks and loan companies; that
if all the assets of the farmers were
liquidated there would be general
bankruptcy. He recommended as a
remedy both co-operation and politic
al action, stating that neither alone
could succeed, but combined they
could force a restoration of the bal
ance and bring the fanners' dollar to
a par with the other dollars of the
nation.
The Michigan Potato Shippers' as
sociation states that the strict en
forcement of the potato grades has
profited the growers more than any
other undertaking in years; that it
has not only resulted in higher prices
but has greatly increased the demand
and made a reputation for Michigan
spuds. ,
Since March 1st, oleomargarine has
been outlawed in Canada. It is
crime to make, import, sell or possess
it. Sentiment against the counter
feit was almost unanimous, while in
Oregon money and influence are striv
ing to do away with a law banning
substitute butter.
During the months of January,
February and March of this year $9,
379.000 worth of principal agricul
tural products were brought into this
country from other nations to com
pete with our farmers for n.srkot
and prices. These figures are In
special report to the state market
agent from C. G. Greis, asnistant eg
ricultural statlstican, Washington,
D. C. under date of May 7. Over
$3,000,000 worth of meats were im
ported to cut under the prices of
home cattlemen, who are going bank
rupt every week.
Of hides and skins (not including
furs) during this three months $15,
626,000 worth were imported, while
the cattlemen of Oregon can hardly
give away their hides. Over six and
a half million dollars' worth of fruits
were brought In during this quarter,
and five and a half million dollars'
worth of seeds. Hides are on the
free list, and more than $11,000,000
were imported last year. Of fruits,
prunes, there is a duty of one-half
of one per cent. Seeds are protected
from one to four cents a pound.
Meats have a duty of $20 on $100
worth. American packers build big
packing plants in Argentine, buy beef
cattle at less than the cost of pro
duction in this country; freexe the
meat and ship it In here at a duty of
one-fifth and take away the markets
of American cattlemen. The farmers
of this country ask that either the
protection be lowered on manufac
tured products to the same ratio as
on their products or that their sched
ules shall be raised to the level of
manufactured goods.
Thirty per cent of the flour mills
have quit since 1914, yet production
has increased 36 per cent This Is
millers' co-operation. The price of
flour in the northwest has decreased
33 per cent; wheat has dropped 65
per cent, while bread prices have de
creased 2 per cent. This Is bakers'
co-operation that distances the mill
ers. Farmers co-operate In small
spots, but these and many other Illus
trations are teaching them the full
way.
Rhea Luper, state engineer, accom
panied by Mrs. Luper, passed through
Heppner on Saturday on their return
home to Salem. Mr. Luper had been
over In the eastern part of the state
on business connected with irrigation
projects.

SAVING HEALTH,
MONEY, MORALS
rroaa State Board of Halta.
Thousands of dollars were saved
through the few hundred dollars In- i
vested In a health and recreation ser-
vice on the Eola Ranch, between Sa-;
lem and Independence, during the
September, 1923, hop harvest.
This unique experiment succeeded
in holding more than a thousand
workers on the job until the end of
the harvest. In contrast to the exper
ience fh 1922, when the force dropped
from 1,000 tolesa than 300 at the end
of the first ten days. This continu
ous service of the large number of
workers reduced the period of harvest
from a month to twenty-two days,
saved a perishable crop, and cut the
cost of harvesting by eliminating
eight days overhead. One ranch in
the neighborhood of Eola abandoned
the picking of a large acreage be
cause of Its difficulty in holding the
workers.
The health service furnished at the
welfare headquarters in each camp,
first aid for oak and hop poisons,
burns, cuts and bruises, and supplied
calls on patients suffering from dys
entery or other disorders Incident to
unripe fruit and hastily prepared
food. Suggestion In the daily paper
which was mimeographed on the
ranch, induced many to choose a
wholesome combination. The gro-'
eery stores on the ranch received
fresh supplies dally and mltk was de
livered from an accredited dairy. j
Out of the seventeen Injured dur
ing harvest, only one man lost any
time from work. Cases needing a
physician or dentist were taken to
the neighboring town in a car be
longing to the welfare workers, or
medical attendance was brought to
them. Many of the cases of illness in
other years which had broken the
morale of the working staff were
among the children who were either
taken to the fields in the hot sun or
left in camp to take care of them
selves and eat whatever they might
find. Much of this trouble was pre
vented this year by the day nurseries
which cared for the children too
young to help their parents. For the
tiny babies there were pallets of
straw, and for the older children,
simply playground apparatus, games
and stories. The ranch provided free
milk for these children each day. The
food left for the children's lunch by
thefr parent swas given them by the
attendants at the proper time.
The program of evening recreation
around the camp fire proved so at
tractive to the hundreds of workers
who assembled night after night that
one of the two dance halls built by
the management did not justify the
cost of an orchestra and was closed.
The other dance hall was open only
five nighta a week.
A printed circular sent out weeks
before the season opened, to the ad
dresses of former employes, and to
auto camps and other assembling
places of migrant workers, had asked
them to bring musical instruments
and theatrical make-up and to be pre
pared to use any gift they might pos
sess for entertaining. Among those
who came were musicians, story-tellers,
dramatic readers, tumblers,
dancers and a slack rope walker, and
one family which had been on the
vaudeville stage, and which coached
the members of its own camp in a
seven-act performance for the en
tertainment of another camp. The
star performers were frequently ask
ed to repeat an act for another camp.
Boxing, volley ball, horseshoes and
other athletic events gave an outlet
for surplus energy.
