HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1926. PAGE THREE T. 1 By State Market Agent.) In some potato growing localities a blight or disease has attacked the early stock and many of the potatoes are black or chocolate colored, and after being dug they rot down. These potatoes are unfit for food and those selling them are liable to severe pen alties under the pure food law. State Market Agent Spence warns all deal era in potatoes to be certain that the sack branding law is complied with when they purchase, that the respon sibility may be determined in case of diseased stock; otherwise the dealer or retailer might be prosecuted for both failure to have growers' name on the sack and for selling unfit food. No sack of potatoes may be legally sold or offered for sale in Oregon un less the sack is stenciled with the grower's name or that of the associa tion offering it for sale. Greaham Concern Growing. The Berry Growers Packing com pany of. Gresham is a going concern, according to its reports. During the past year its membership has in creased 25 per cent and its volume of business is growing. Last year it han dled two and a half million pounds of fruit, of which a million and a half were red raspberries. Loganberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries and pears are handled and large quan tities of the berries are barreled and frozen. Payment to growers last year totaled $220,841. Unorganized, Little Power. Organized manufacturers demand protection and congress gives it to them and through the power of organ ization they are able to fix and main tain prices. Union labor is organ ized and it has the power to demand protection against foreign immigra tion, also to fix wage scales and main tain them. But farmers, over thirty million weak, are compelled to buy at the fixed prices of the manufacturers and let the middle interests fix the prices of the products they raise. They are practically unorganized, hence their dollars do not buy as much as other Americans. "It is im possible to organize farmers," is the often heard statement. Labor at one t'me thought the task cf organizing all the different trades was impossi ble. And it was the biggest invest ment the worker ever made. It would sejm that farmers will have to organ ize solidly to hold their own in this day of organizations and combina tions. A "Federated" Countv. Umatilla county has 235:600 acrer of wheat this year and 200,000, acres are Federation. It is one of the few v.heat raising counties of the north west to standardize and it is a main nupply source for Federation seed wheat for Oregon, .Washington and Idaho. Farmers' Incomes Shrinking. In the years 1924-25 direct taxation on farms in the United States in creased 236 per cent over the average from 1909 to 1914, while during the same period the relative increase in the farmers' income was only 100 per cent. The ratio of indebtedness to value of farms has now risen to about 4(1 per cent, as compared with 29 per cent of five years earlier. Don't Take the Chance. Under state law there is both fine and imprisonment provided for sell ing potatoes in Orgon unless they have been graded and the grade and tho seller's name are stenciled on the Back. No farmer or retailer can af ford to take the chances of selling without complying with the law. (rades and regulations may be had by addressing the State Market Agent, 712 Court House, Portland. The Strenuous Week-End. From State Board of Health. This is the season when on Friday nights or on Saturday noons one sees the roads filled with motor cars, and trains and busses packed with happy people all going away from town for the week end. On Sunday night or Monday morning the same people come trooping back to town, many of them haggard and worn. The call of he wild is irresistible to most peo ple and is one which all of us, who are enslaved by our desks in the cities, can well afford to heed for a day or two each week. But why not be sensible about it? Just because you are going to the seashore or to the woods, is no reason for overdoing It Although exposure to the sun is recognized as a measure of great val ue in treating some diseases, going to the beach and lying on the sand for the main purpose of getting sun- turned it foolhardy. The effects of sunburn, aside from disabling a per son, at times results in conditions dangerous to health. Acquire your sunburn and tan gradually and by the end of the summer you will be just as brown and will not have been laid up for a few days with a severe burn nor will you have run any risks to your general health. Many people take long trips over the week end, camping out at night. This may be a recreation, but often it is hard work. If you are soft, don't try to do too much. If you intend to camp out at night, be sure to provide the necessary equipment. Don t car ry a lot of needless truck. After you have discarded everything that isn't f psential, go over your pack again and thoroughly check the necessary ar ticles. At all times be careful of the water you drink. Remember that clear, sparkling, running water is not al ways safe. Often it is dangerous. The safest policy is to boil all drink ing water unless you know it is of good sanitary quality. Many of us city-living individuals are unable to stand the strenuous life of the open air and the sunshine un til we have become a little accustomed to it. A hothouse plant cannot sur vive the ordeal to which nature puts the hardy perennial. Most of us are too soft to warrant exertion of a strenuous week end until we have gone through a gradual hardening process. Use up your reserve by get ting the most out of your week end. Sleeping out of doors, moderate hik ing and roughness, will do much to improve your general health and make life worth while. Highway Association Puts Out-Fine Folder A concrete evidence of the prac ticality of the movement to give joint publicity to the attractions of the en tire Pacific Coast, including Califor nia, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, is given in the 96-page beautifully illustrated booklet just is sued by the Pacific Highway associa tion of California. This is the most attractive bit of tourist literature for the Pacific Coast ever issued and con tains several features unique in that sort of publicity. It is devoted to the attractions along the route of the 1 acilic Highway from San Diego to Vancouver and Victoria, B. C, but as that is the great artery of north and south motoring, the very backbone of travel by automobile up and down the Pacific oCast, it necessarily compre hends most of the great attractions of this region. The Pacific Highway is the world's longest paved motor route. It has along its great length every variety of scenery the Pacific Coast offers, among them a number of natural won ders unique in all the world. For over 1700 miles it is a continuous pan orama of beauty and surprise, wit nessed in the greatest of comfort of climate and good road, with all the accessories of safe and delightful touring, such as fine hotels, well equipped auto camps, garages and ser vice stations. It passes through ten great cities, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver' and Victoria. There are hundreds of miles of ocean shore drive, with innumerable bathing beaches, beautiful mountain passes and valleys, vast areas of gar dens and orchards, groves of Califor nia's giant redwood trees, the only ac tive volcano in America, a dozen high peaks of perpetual snow, marvelous Crater lake, the wonderful Oregon caves, the famous scenery and water falls of the Columbia river, two na tional parks and two national monu ments, the enhancements of Puget Sound, "the summer playground of the Pacific Coast," the charm of Bur rard, Inlet, the Gulf of Georgia and Vancouver Island, with lakes and streams innumerable, all abounding in trouc. All this is revealed by over a hun dred fine halftone pictures and inter esting descriptive text, with road maps of the entire route. A feature that will be appreciated by all tour ists is a glossary of names from end to end of the route, telling how to pronounce them and what they mean. Anotner leature the tourist will ap preciate is the luncheon dates of the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Exchange clubs and of chamber of commerce forums. The cover is a beautiful de sign in four colors suggestive of the scenery along the highway. This help to tourists is beine dis tributed to all chambers of commerce, automobile club onlces and informa tion bureaus free. Dr. p. F. Butler, formerly located i a dentist in this city, but of re cent years living at Monmouth, has moved to Portland where he is now associated with the New York Den tists at Fourth and Morrison streets.
