THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1921 PAGE THREE ts M Spcnce Does Not Believe It Is Time to Quit Cooperation. C. E. S pence. Market Agent In th morning papers of Portland under date of May 19, there appeared a story under headlines "Co-Operative Associations Declared Failure," which quoted State Market Agent Spence with filing a report with Gov ernor Pierce in which was the state ment "It is time to go NO further with marketing associations," and in the headlines and story the impres sion was carried that the market agent had seen the futility of fur ther work on co-operative lines and recommended abandoning the work. because of the fact that the story has been more or less reprinted by the country papers, and because of the further fact that it was not true, the market agent wishes to correct the errors. This was not a report filed with the governor, but simply a part of a regular pres letter to the state press. In it the market agent stated, "It is time TO GO FURTHER with marketing associations," while the story in the Portland daily stated "It is time to go NO further," making an exactly opposite statement than was made. Only half of the article was printed, leaving the co-operative story half told. The errors were doubtless a confusion with the writer or in the newspaper office. Canada takes almost any steps the farm era ask for to relieve their con dition. The legislature of Quebec has passed a resolution to exempt farm ers from the provisions of the bank ruptcy law, so that they cannot lose their property or credit. The so-called "effete" and conser vative east is making rapid strides in farmer co-operative work and may yet be showing the west the way to make It work big. A committee of ten, appointed March 13, to investi gate the best means of making the dairy industry profitable, has made its report. It recommends an organ ization of all the dairy farmers of New Kngtand states under contract to deliver products to one co-operative agency; that producers own and control all the facilities necessary to manufacture their own products and by-products; central markets, well equipped plants, etc., in fact a great organization to reduce the cost of marketing, reduce prices to the con sumer and increase prices to the pro ducer by co-operative handling and manufacturing all dairy products from the farm to the retailer. Co-operators are having to face the fact that the answer to the often asked question of how to get a fairly reasonable price for their products, Is "get control of the selling end of the buvinens." Producers can't expect to make profits as long as they permit middle handlers to add two dollars to one dollar between the farm and con sumer. Farmers have got to do their own selling, be their own middle men, and retain these middle profits. They have got to organize solidly to do it. It will not be a difficult undertaking when the farmers all come to this one way of thinking. The organization of a huge selling agency to hsndle the northwest's five million dollar prune crop is under way. It is a federation of the grow ers of Oregon and Washington. The crop will be graded, standardized and sold collectively under modern mar keting systems. Its success very largely depends on management. There is no reason why it cannot suc ceed as private big business organi sations succeed. There is plenty of room between what the grower gets for the fruit and what the consumer pays for it for higher prices to pro ducers and lower prices to consumers. If the orgs ni tat ion will cut out many of the middle handlers and their profits and act! direct to the big chain tores and other like retailers, the prune industry may again becow profitable to the northwest. Now They're Making Gas Out of Dry Wheat Straw The United States Bureau o Chem istry announces the discovery of a method whereby a ton of sun-dried wheat straw is said to yield 10,000 cubic feet of illuminating gas, 10 gal-. Ions of tar, and 625 pounds of carbon residue. The bureau intimates that some day we may see motorists buying gas by the cubic foot from the local gas company, instead of gasoline by the gallon from the service station. Cars have been operated by gas experi mentally, the gas being carried in a rubber storage bag. A car carrying 300 cubic feet of gas can run about fifteen miles it is aaid. RABIES SHOULD BE CONTROLLED Prom State Board of Health. Rabies among dogs hat shown an alarming increase in prevalence in southwestern and eastern Oregon during the past year. Rabies is a transmittable disease to all warm blooded animals including man. The disease is more prevalent in the sum mer. Rabies is caused by an organ ism which passes through the finest filter. The infection is transmitted when a rabid animal bites a suscep tible or licks another in such a way that the saliva comes in contact with abrasions in the skin or mucous mem branes. The abrasions may be so minute that they are imperceptible. The incubation period or the time between the infection and the devel opment of the disease, is from three weeks to many months. The earliest symptoms in dogs is not, as commonly believed, a tendency to rush furiously and blindly about, biting animals or inanimate objects. Before these symptoms develop, the animal passes through a stage of apparent melancholia in which it tries to hide and appears restless; athe restlessness increases, the dog begins to suffer from apparent halu cinations, snapping and emitting a characteristic howl. A pet dog while in this condition attempts to lick the hands of its friends. Later ft leaves home, travels many miles and returns in a state of exhaustion which is fol lowed by paralysis and death. In some animals the disease never de velops intolhe furious stage. During the later stage of the disease, the flow of saliva from the mouth is abundant and it is highly infectious. Whenever possible the animal should be tied up for observation; it will die within ten days if it is rabid, if it has to be killed care should be taken that the head and particularly the brain is not injured. The head should be sealed in a tin container then packed in sawdust and ice and sent to the laboratory of the State Board of Health, Portland, Oregon, express prepaid. In 1HH6, Louis PaBteur found that the spinal cord of a rabbit inoculated with rabies virus could be dried and emulsified in such a way that the virus in the cord would not produce the disease but would develop immu nity in the body of the person treated with it. The treatment is available to all persons who need it and should be begun without loss of time after the person has been bitten by an ani mal known or suspected to be af fected with rabies. Although rabies is by no means confined to dogs the control of the disease depends upon the prevention of its spread among dogs. Coyotes have spread the infection in south western and eastern Oregon. To pre vent the spread of the disease, three measures are essential. First the coyotes must be eradicated. Second there must be an effective round up and impounding of all stray dogs. Third dogs valued by their owners must be confined, or muzzled when allowed to run at large, or if they are allowed to run at large they must be immunized against the diseas. I An antirablc vaccine for tha pro- 1 ention of the disease In animals is now produced by biological labora tories and it has been amply demon st, a ted that It will render dogs im mune to the disease. The length of the immunity secured by one treat ment with vaccine is undetermined. It is fairly well established, however, that the immunity lasts at least one year. Frequently rabies Is called hydro phobia, because it is commonly sup posed that a fear of water is charac teristic of the disease. In dogs this is untrue but in man this term would nearly describe the condition. The disease causes fear, difficult breath ing and difficulty in swallowing. The patient is sensitive to light, noise and odors. As the disease progresses con vulsions develop with periods of ex haustion and death usually occurs in a violent convulsion within three weeks of the time of the first symptom. Can You Tell Wool?
