Farm Bureau Notes.
By R. B. WILCO.X
The recent T. B. teit throughout
the county shows that we have a very
small amount of T. B. cows. The di-
eaio could be easily almost stair Ded
out if every one with cattle would
give the government tester a chance
to fest .htiir cow;. Several fucts
bhould be kept in mind about T. B.
cattle. 1st. The milk from such
cows is dangerous for human use.
2nd. Hogs, chickens and cows and
calves that are fed milk from T. B.
cows easily get the disease. 3rd. It
ii impossible to tell from a cow's ap
pearance whether she has the disease
or not. The best looking cow in your
herd may be suffernig from the dis
ease. 4th. The disease does not al
ways confine itself to the lungs, in
fact many glands of the cow may be
affected. Quite often the cow's udder
is badly affected and the milk is full
of T .B. germs.
Good pure milk is the best food we
have and for the healthy growth of
children is absolutely essential. Why
take a chance of having the disease
among your catUe when a word to
your county agent will bring the
authorzied government tester to your
ranch free of charge? It is probable
that a small charge will have to be
made in the future. It is hoped that
another test will be made next year.

The usual bad luck in picking a day
for the annual meeting happened
again this year. As a result only a
small attendance was possible. Many
of the things planned for this meet
ing were postponed to some more fa
vorable time.
Experience of Wasco County wheat
farmers hasnhown that a few sheep
can be maintained on wheat farms
without any extra feeding except dur
ing heavy storms. About BO ewes to
each section is recommended.
The high price paid per pound for
the heavier types of chickens for sev
eral seasons indicates that this type
of fowl would be the best bird for
the wheat ranches. 4 large number
of young could be raised and fed dur
ing the summer and fall on the waste
that is always available on the wheat
ranch. Only a reasonable amount of
the choicest birds need to be on hand
by Christmas. The rest could have
been marketed so that during the
winter months when costly feed was
necessary only a few Would be on
hand, and these with a reasonable
amount of care might be made to pay
their way.
During this month, the first of a
new year, each member of the agricul
tural community is apt to be planning
what to turn hia attention to. Each
one goes it alone. The wheat farmer
if wheat prices are good makes every
effort to put in just as many acres
of wheat as possible. The pork rais
er if pork has been a good price, tries
to double his output of hogs, but if
the hog price has made pork produc
tion a loosing game, he quits the hog
raising busniess, and so on down the
line. By past year's results he plans
next year's output and the result is
almost inevitably over production and
cheap prices. Some kind of an agri
cultural program based on a full un
derstanding of the law of supply and
demand would greatly help to avoid
these extremes. Over production and
cheap prices are usually followed by
under production and high prices.
Cheap prices mean financial ruin to
many a hard working family. High
3
prices usually benefit only those fi
nancially able to tide over the low
period. Why is ft necessary to re
sort to these cut-throat methods
among ourselves when a sane agricul
tural program intellgiently carried
out would give all a fair show?
it
Well, are we ready for soma club
work in Morrow county? Each and
every one has surely noticed that
each succeeding month, more apace
in all our papers throughout our en
tire country is devoted to the good
work being done by our club boys and
girls. Thousands and thousands of
boys and girls throughout the United
States have been at the work for sev
eral years. Many of our most suc
cessful young people have laid the
foundation for their success by a
course in club work. Club work is
no experiment. It is the biggest suc
cessful reality of modern timea. Its
possibilities are enormous. Its foun
dation is laid on practicality and
common sense. There are three
things necessary for club work:
1st. Some boys and girls interest
ed in some line of club work, and
most boys and girls are interested in
the work or soon become so under the
proper guidance.
2nd. A good local Club Leader,
some one who understands the work
to be done and who Is willing to spend
a little time helping and encouraging
the boys and girls. The majority of
club leaders are school teachers, but
many excellent leaders are local peo
ple who have pecial training fitting
them for leadership.
3rd. The cooperation and encour
agement of the parents is needed so
that the children may carry out their
work thoroughly and intelligently. If
the three conditions mentioned above
are available in any community the
success of club work is already as
sured. Our new county school su
perintendent is especially desirous
that you give club work a chance in
your community, and if you are in
terested let her know and she will
come to your community and talk it
over with you. Our County Agent is
always at your service along club
wcrk lines. Oregon has one of the
best club organizations in the United
States and at its head is Mr. H. C.
Seymour, a man with many years ex
perience in teaching, superintendency
and club work, and he has told us that
he will spend several days with us
in the near future if we are interest
ed enough in club work to care to do
anything in that line. .What are you
going to do about it? Surely with
all these excellent people at your
service, with the press of the country
unstinted in its praise of the move
ment, with the most advanced think
ers and speakers in all sections where
the work is going on whole hearted ly
backing the movement, you will not
completely ignore the chance to give
your boy and girt the opportunity to
have the same chance the boys and
girls of other localities have when
everything is free to yon and yours
for the asking.
On Saturday, February 21, 1925, a
farm meeting will be held at the
county agent's office. Several mat-
ters especially important for the peo
ple of Morrow county will come up
for consideration. Although nomin
ally termed a Farm Bureau meeting,
it is open to all and any one interest
ed in farm problems and agricultural
questions is urgently invited to be
present. The farm organizations wish
your opinion whether you consider
yourself a member of the Bureau or
not. It is not membership in the
Farm Bureau that is uppermost n
oar minds. But what we can do to
make it possible for the great farm
ing and stock raising industries to
be more profitably carried on by the
rank and file of the great army of
honest and conscientious people en
gaged in these pursuits.
Samples and prices on Urimra al
falfa seed have been sent for by the
county agent. If there Is sufficient
demand, a pool for this seed will be
made up and seed ordered. Prices
for good seed vary greatly and when
the purity and germination tests are
taken into consideration some of the
cheaper seeds are usually found to
be very high priced due to a low ger
mination and being foul with weeds.
