I) THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1924. PAGE THREE 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. A TREAT FOR THE FAMILY The wife and kiddies will enjoy a change from the monotony of home-cooked meals, so why not suggest coming here for dinner ev ery one in awhile.

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.
