Newspaper Page TextHEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 25, 1926. PAGE THREE CAMP FOLLOWERS OF PUBLIC HEALTH From time immemorial armies were followed by men and women who ca tered to the baser appetites of sol diers. These camp followers added nothing to the comfort and well-being of the armies; instead they were always a prolific source of trouble vni of disease. In the World War the number and activities of these para sites were greatly curtailed for the reason that educated public opinion recognized their destructive vicious ness. In its fight gaainst disease the vast army of public health workers have also been followed by men and wom en who, in their parasitic activities, resemble the camp followers of old. They are much more vicious, however, for they prey only upon the sick and the infirm. They exist because public opinion tolerates them. These modern camp followers know little or nothing of the anatomy of the human body, have not even a nod ding acquaintance with the medical sciences, and yet they profess to cure all ailments, acute or chronic, Infec tious or non-infectious. They snatch at the crumbs discarded at the way side by scientific workers, add mys tery, leven with fear, and finally offer tc the receptive public half-baked truths and pseudo-scientific facts. People suffering with headache, with colds, with rheumatism, with epilep sy, with tuberculosis, or with, cancer, are all promised relief and cure by uping several bottles of this or that "medicine," or by taking a "course of treatment" with this or that elec trical contraption. The same "medi cine" or "treatment" which makes you fat is guaranteed to make you thin. Deaths from cancer in Oregon in 1925 totaled 931; deaths from organic heart trouble, 1487. How many of these deaths were hastened by the camp followers of medicine it is hard to estimate. It is equally hard to es timate the thousands of dollars paid to these harpies by their victims. This loss in life and in money is a loss Oregon can ill afford. The camp followers of public "liealth can be exterminated. Educat ed public opinion can do it. State Market Agent Writes About Poultry Since 1880 the poultry industry of this country has grown four-fold, while the population has only a little more than doubled. Nearly two bil lion dozen eggs were produced last year. The Department of Agriculture says that if the poultry business con tiues to increase, considerable of the products will have to be exported to find markets. Past records show that when al most any business is profitable, thous r.nd go into that business and stay in it until the limit of consumption is reached, then drop out as prices and profits fall. If the experts in the De partment of Agriculture are correct in the hint that the poultry business may be soon overdone, and that we may have to look to foreign markets for our BUrplus, the question is will the foreign price fix the home price as it does on wheat, cotton and other agricultural products? If so, the big poultry industry of the nation is due for its turn in depression. More and more the fact is forced onto us that this country cannot long maintain its present high stand ard of living unless production is largely limited to the country's needs. Other nations of the world are on a much lower living and wage basis. If we sell our products to them the price must be on their living basis on their ability to pay. Their price is re flected in this country and becomes a factor in determining the home price. Manufacturers are well organ ized and are able to control and re strict production. Agriculture is not, What'a a Pig Worth? At weaning time a pig is worth a little less than one-third of the price Mine's In! fcfflBiilsi Is Yours? TUM-A-LUM LUMBER CO.

Quality Guaranteed THE BUSY BEE APIARY Banks, Oregon of a 200-pound hog. If hogs are f 12 a hundred a good pig should be valued at from $7 to $8. These figures are from the 0, A. C, and while- some things, such as the thriftiness and size of the pigs and the probable fu ture price of feeds and hogs, enter in to the calculation, yet it gives a sort of a basis to figure on. Fighting to Force Prices. The cotton growers of 'he south are fighting to hold back bales already grown and pledge planters o curtail production 25 per cent in the future. The Canadian wheat growers have a powerful organization to hold their grain, and regulate production. The corn growers of the middle west are asking congress to provide some means to guarantee a fair price for a full crop, under threat to restrict pro duction and to upset present tariff schedules on manufactured articles. Many other organizations are taking similar actions to restrict production. On the other hand city consumers say that present farm products come to them at so high prices that con sumption has to be restricted to nec essities, and they ask what will hap pen if farmers restrict their crop yields to the point of forcing higher prices? The solution should be work ed out with organizations of consum ers and retailers cooperating with or ganized farmers in taking products more directly from the farms and eliminating the many middle costs and profits. But so long as wages re main high the workers will not wor ry, and so long as the retailer can pass the middle costs along he will not worry, and so long as the farmer has to produce at less than cost, it seems that all he will do is to worry. Organization will come some day when necessity forces hard enough. Use a G. T. Want Ad for results.
