appreciates very much the coopera
tion piven him by the farmers of
Morrow county the past year and
wishes to state that the work for the
fuure will consist largely in an en
deavor to make farming in Morrow
county more profitable and pleasant.
The work for the coming year will
center largely on the question of re
ducing production cost, and more
economical production of farm crops,
livestock and livestock products.
Wild Horses.
The wild horse situation in Eastern
Oregon is becoming of supreme im
portance to the stockmen of the
state. A reeet survey by the Oregon
Humane Society estimates that with
a hard winter this year at least KH
000 horses running wild on the range
in Eastern Oregon would die. The
organization is considering legisla
tion providing for the handling of
this trouble. At the 124 meeting of
the Oregon Woolgrowers Association
a permanent committee was appoint
ed to draft and submit to the Legis
lature a law providing for the con
trol of the horse situation on the
ranges.
Large numbers of these horses are
running loose in the foothills and on
the Forest Reserve in southern Mor
row county. Complaints have recent
ly been made that much damage is
being done in the Boardman com
munity by hordes from the range,
breaking into farmers' haystacks and
fields. The situation is getting wore
rather than better and will require
drastic action to control in the next
few years. Some states provide for
the periodic rounding up of all stray
bors.es and disposal by sale or killing
those unclaimed. Something of that
kind is urgently needed in Oregon.
Unless the people get together and
demand action it will probably go by
the board at this year's Jeg:slature.
TME annus! meeting of the Morrow County Farm Bureau
will he held in the Odd Fellows Hall at Heppner, Satur
day. December 20, starting at 10:30 A. M. Some of the
important matters that will be taken up regarding the county
o-gan7ation are. revision of by-laws, and a reduction of the
annual dues, which were suspended last year, to a very nom
inal figure. A committee on farm labor is now working out a
plan to handle farm tabor for the coming year. The question
of the continuance of harvest wage conferences will be thresh
ed out at th.'s meeting. Among some of the matters that will
be considered by the resolutions committee will be the pro
posed child labor amendment to the constitution and methods
of handling the wild horse problem in Eastern Oregon.
The speaker of the day w ill be Mr. Paul V. .Maris, Direct
or of the Extension of the Oregon Agricultural College. Mr.
Maris is a Morrow county boy, an exceptionally good speaker
and well informed on the agricultural situation throughout
the state of Oregon. The meeting will be held in the Odd Fel
lows Hall and lunch will be served at noon in the hall dining
room.
Committees appointed at the Executive Committee meet
ing December 1 were: Program Committee, R. Y. .Morse, C.

Foreign Wool Notes.
The U'2"-24 wool season in Argen
tina ended with the month of Septem
ber. Experts for the season amount
ed to only pounds com
nsrod with 33S.730.604 last year, 440.
2 574 in 1921-22 and 291.5S0.390 in
U'20-21. The countries purchasing
most heavily last year were Germany,
the United Kingdom and France
whereas the United States, the prin
cipal buyer in 122-23, took only a
little more than 10 per cent of the
total shipments.
Opinions as to the com in clip in
Argentina differ radically. While a
report from the Yorkshire Observer
published in Foreign Crops and Mar
kets last week predicted a 10 to 20
per cent increase, another report just
Farm Bureau Activities.
During the past year the Morrow
County Farm Bureau has taken an
active interest in many items of county-wide
importance. A few of theri
activities are listed below.
The Farm Bureau took an active
lead in the calling of a Morrow Coun
ty Harvest Wage Conference and a
District Wage Conference at Moro in
June. At this conference, a minimum
transient harvest wage scale was set
which, according to reports, was fol
lowed closer than ever before.
In cooperation with the County
Agent, data on used paper mill can
vas was secured and to date 1600 lbs.
of this canvas, which is 4S-ounce ma
terial, in good shape, has been ship
ped into the county. Arrangement

Buenos Aires states that the new this by dealers in the countv the com-
Remedies.
The trouble with Agriculture is
that it is a gigantic business that is
poorly managed as an industry. Deal
irg with an industry that has four
million stockholders and no officers
is about as difficult as trying to climb
a tree that is ft thousnad feet to the
first limb. Agriculture needs a board
of directors with ft full set of officers
to direct and guide the business if
they could get a sufficient number of
proxies authorizing therr. to act.
No Industry can succeed that keeps
on producing without paying any at
tention to the probable demand for
iti produet. Neither can Agriculture
ever expect to get on a sound basis.
Any scheme to help Agriculture that
does not take into consideration the
adjusting of production to demand,
will never be of much benefit.
There is not much hope of ever get
ting any legislation through Congress
that will have for its purpose the fix
ing or rabin? prices of farm products
for the great industrial East and the
cotton-growir.gr South is not in favor
of any legislation that will further
increase the already high cost of liv
ing. Therefore, the farmers must
work out some kind of a scheme that
will enabie them to do it themselves.
The farmers should have a national
advisory council corr.po.-ed of produc
ers, one member from each state, ap
pointed to start with by the Governor
of the state. They should gather sta
tistics of probable producion and con
sumption throughout the Nation and
the world. They would then be able
to advice the farmers so they could,
if they wouid, adjust their producion
to probable consumption of the va
rious crop..
This advisory council should meet
at least four times a year and go over
all statistics and informal ion, that
had been collected by its officers and
experts and, after thoroughly consid
ering them, iuc a report together
with tfieir recommendation us to
whether it' ere thou id be an ircrea
or a di'CniLH' in the production uf the
various products,.
In time 1 bctieve this council would
be luokcd upon as the real head of
Agriruhure, and ell legislation ar.d
everything pertaining to farming ar.d
livestock wouid coiue through tnis
avury council, in order to t;,rt
thin, though, w" have got to find a
rich philanthropist who will finance
it, or borrow the money iVom the
Government to put it on it k feet un
til it cou'd be financed by the pro
duce;. There can be no doubt, but
what Agriculture needs a real head, I
governing body. This may not be the
way to get it. so if anyone hut a bet
ter plan for creating a governing
body, let's hear from them.- Cha. E.

shearing will give a clip somewhat
smaller than last year, a shrinkage of
from 10 to 15 per cent being estimat
ed. Stocks of wool at the Central
Produce Market in Buenos Aires on
September 30, 1924. totaled 2.358.922
pounds compared with 1.543.220 at
the same date last year. Stocks in
consignees hands and in exporters'
warehouses were estimated at 13,227,
600 pounds.
Wools are reported as arriving
quite freely from the Northwestern
Karroo Districts of South Africa and
auction sales range from 200 to 300
.es per week. The condition of
these wools is generally good, being
exceptionally fine in quality owing to
drought but rather sandy, a condition
which depreciates the yield approxi
mate two to three per cent below
last year's average. The condition of
wools from the mountain districts
and high altitudes wilt be excellent
this season as late rains have recent
ly fallen.
The outlook for the coming clip in
New Zealand is good. A mild and
open winter has been experienced
and this combined with the prospects
for an early spring seems to indicate
that the new clip will be well grown,
sound and of good color. Last sea
son's clip was estimated at 208,987,

Seed Testing.
Farmers of Morrow County can get
an accurate te.?t on the germination
and purity of their seed by forward
ing a sample to the County AJent
who will have it tested free of charge
at Corvallis. Two most important
items to be found out are the purity.
'-Specially regarding the presence of
noxious weed seeds, and the percent
age of germination. The kinds of im
purity are many times more import
ant than the amount. Seed with pur
i'.y test of 99'c may be undesirable if
lie is noxious weed seeds. Accord
ing to Mr. E. N. Bressman, who has
charge of the seed testing laboratory
at Corvallis. if Vo impurity is seed
of Huekhorn. it may mean as many as
22"0 seeds in a pound. Seeded at the
rate of 100 pounds to the acre, this
would mean distributing 22,500 weed
-eeds to each acre. In taking sam
ples, seed should be taken from sev
eral parts of a sack and from all
sack. If seed in different sacks is
not uniform separate samples should
be ier.t in for tho.se sacks, otherwise
the sampies from different sacks can
be mixed together. For small seeds
as alfalfa and grass 2 ounces, or one
nandful, or for large seeds like wheat
1 ounces or two handfuls, should be
ent.
ing year. Ihis win let farmers buy
canvas when needed instead of hav
ing to wait from three to four weeks
for it. This used canvas sells at
about half the cost of new- IS-oz. ma
terial.
The Farm Bureau took an active
interest in support of the McNary-
Haugen Bill, adopted resolutions,
writing letters to many Congressmen
urging them to support the bill.
Called a Wheat Growers Confer
ence at Lexington in February to
work out a wheat growers program

Nursery Yields of Spring
Wheat, 1921.
Twenty-two varieties of spring
wheat were planted in the Eight Mile
nursery Mareh 25 and 25. These
were planted in two series of four
rows each and the two center rows
of each series harvested and threshed
at Moro.
In the lone nursery the ground was
rather dry at the time of seeding
and had practically no rain until har
vested. The yields were low, but
showed the wheats that had the
drouth resistant qualities necessary
for spring wheats. In each nursery
Sunset was one of the leading wheats.
This wheat was at least a week ear
lier than any other wheat in the nur
sery which let it get out of the way
of some of the hot dry weather. Oth
er wheats showing up well were Onas,
Canberra, White Federation and
Baart in the lone nursery. In hte
Eight Mile nursery White Federation
was the highest yielder with a yield
of 25.6 bushels. .This wheat is a
selection from the federation wheats
brought from Australia about nine
years ago. Hard Federation, Federa
tion, Onas and Baart with Sunset
were the highest yielding wheats in
this nursery. The following is the

The production of livestock on ir
rigated land depends largely on mak
ing the farm keep the stock as econ
omically as possible. Experience
throughout the west on reclamation
projects has shown that irrigated pas
tures furnisned an economical me'.h
od of providing summer feed for all
kinds of livestock. The County Ag
ent is planning on starting
of pasture demonstrations on the
irrigated farms of the county the com
ing year.
Experience on reclamation projects
throughout the west show that a good
irrigated pature should support two
mature cows or their equivalent for
at least five moths of the year. This
varies with the soil and climatic con
dition but is believed to be lower
than can reasonably be expected on
irrigated farms in this county.
Some of the essentials for success
ful irigatcd pastures are as follows:
One of the commonest causes of fail
ure of irrigated pastures to produce
is that the.se pastures are put out on
so-called waste land which will not
grow other crops to advantage and
usually will not produce pasture with
high carrying capacity. To get
more efficiency and carrying capacity,
good land should be utilized for pas
ture. W here it is desirable to use
wane land the carrying capacity will
not be high.
The seed bed should be weil pre
pared and firm. Good seed must be
used or the stand will be poor. Only
seed that has been tested and shows
a high germination should be used.
The supply of water must be ade
quate to provide frequent irrigation.
Irrigations must be more frequent
and lighter than ia commonly used
for alfalfa as the pasture grasses are
hallow rooted and require moisture
close to the top of the ground.
Management of the pasture is very
important. It should be divided so
that half of it can be pastured while
the other half is irrigated and given
an opportunity to start. Stock must
not be put on the pasture wheh it is
wet or kept there too long and the
pasture eaten too close to the ground.
Pastures must be given an opportun
ity to get a good start before being
used so that the grass can develop a
good root system. To keep weeds
down, it is advisable to clip the pas
ture frequently the first year.
To summarize the essentials of a
successful irrigated pasture requires
good land, thorough preparation of
the seed bed, good seed, and intelli
gent management, which includes
proper irrigation and use. In another
article we will give information re
garding the best mixtures to be used
in this section of the state.
Farmers organizations in many
states are taking an active stand
against the child labor amendment.
This amendment is also being opposed
by a large majority of the farm pa
pers throughout the country. A num
ber of farmers organizations have
adopted resolutions opposing it un
less the children on farms were ex
empted from its provisions. The
series ' amendment, which is known as the
L'Mth Amendment and will be acted up
on by State Legislatures this year,
gives Congress the right to limit, reg
ulate and prohibit the labor of per
sons under eighteen years of age.
That there is much abuse in using
child labor in factories is admitted
by these organizations but they ques
tion seriously the advisability of
turning over to Congress the right to
regulate all child labor. It may
mean, according to many of them,
that people under eighteen years of
age will be forced to lead lives of
indolence. The outstanding objection
to the amendment is that it puts the
age limit too high and gives Congress
a dangerous and unresricted power
over all the children of the country.
A resolution by the Ohio Farm Bu
reau declares that "idleness by law
is as repulsive as involuntary servi
tude." This question is worthy of
serious thought from people in Mor
row county, as the amendment will
be before the Oregon Legislature this
winter for action.
Barley.
HONEY IS BEST SWEET.
Honey, in addition to having more
sweetening power than granulated
ugur, contains the much needed min
erals, which are removed entirelj
when sugar is refined. Cirn yrup or
molasrfes are inferior to honey, the
former lacking in both sweetening
power and minerals, and the latter
containing too mucri lime which is
added during the refining process, to
be wholesome. Honey is the only
commercial sweet iicv known to con-

One of the possibilities for cutting
down the wheat acreage in Morrow
county is to grow more barley. Ac
cording to experiment station results
a good spring barley generally will
out-yield any other spring-sown crop
in Eastern Oregon. There is a home
market for this crop at all times.
The possibilities of winter barley are
being investigated by the Experiment
Station and the County Agent and it
is hoped to have a good variety of
winter barley for distribution with
in the next two years. A large num
ber of spring barleys will be tried
out in small plats the coming year.
Much of the land not planted to
wheat this Fall should be planted to
hariey in the hpnng.
ALPINE APPOINTS RODENT

President Coolidge will ask lower
railroad freight rates and suggest
that the roads can make up the dif
ference by practicing economy.
That is not the railroad idea, how
ever. President Coolidge will find
that railroad management and rail
road wishes are a department of our
Government, although not listed as
such in the Constitution.
The voters, when less prosperous
times make thinking necessary, will
decide to have a government running
the railroads, instead of railroads
running a government.
This is not said unkindly, or by an
agent of bolshevism. The writer has

Admirers of the late Theodore
Roosevelt will be interested in the
statement, made by the authority of

Mrs. Longworth was Miss Alice

Those who have read Galton's Her

father is handed down through the

A lawsuit raising interesting ques
tions is coming. A young man named
Rhinclander, whose people for sev
eral generations have not worked for
a living and are, therefore, called
"aristocrats," married a young wo
man with negro blood. Her people
have always worked hard; therefore
she is no aristocrat. The young man,

of his marriage, saying be was de
