The difficulty in the past has been to teach the public to make use of known means of immunization. It is hoped, by the means of the plan just outlined, that the public will aid greatly in the eradication and con trol of communicable diseases. S'MATTER POP by c. m. payne AMBROSE SHOULD BET ON HIMSELF One of the most practical dry land leguminous crops that can be raised in Eastern Oregon, according to Ex periment Station results and tests throughout the section, is field peas. cooperative movements J These are especially valuable for use in pasturing on Dy sneep and nogs. They also make a good crop to be grown on bottom land that can be irrigated. According to D. E. Stephens, super intendent of the Moro station, they can be seeded on dry land with the ordinary grain drill, closing up four holes and leaving two open which puts them in a double row with the rows 35 inches apart. Seeding by this method it takes 75 to 80 pounds per acre. A few bushels of O'Rourke seed, one of the best varieties that have been tested out at the Moro sta tion, is available and can be ordered through the Couny Agent's office at a reasonable price. Farmers need ing some late summer pasture for their sheep or hogs, will find this crop worth while. Seymour Jones of Marion county has been appointed State Market Agent, succeeding C. E. Spence, who resigned. Mr. Soence, underwent a major operation early in January. Mr. Jones resides on a farm near Salem and has for many years been actively eneaeed and grange work. He will have his main office in Salem and will head the weights and measures department, taking over the duties of W. A. Dal ziel, present chief deputy. The Increasing Overhead. Transportation and distribution costs of farm products continue up wards. Ocean freight rates to Eu Tope are constantly being raised un til the surplus crops of this country are now going abroad with overhead costs so great that ready markets are hard to find. And on top of this han dicap is the growing distribution cost of products in our large cities the many middle-handlings and costs brought about largely by the small quantity of food bought at any one time by consumers. Carloads of farm products are shipped into the market centers, brok en into smaller lots by wholesalers for the jobbers; again broken into smaller lots for retailers, who once more reduce them for the consuming trade. Where twenty years ago a fam ily would buy a sack of flour, now two pound sacks are in demand. All this entailed service is added to the cost of the products between the farm and the kitchen, and that the price to the consumer may not be prohibi tive, the price at the farm must be low. The Department of Agriculture states that in New York city the stan dard retail sales of farm products is about 26 cents for each kind of prod uct, of which 14 cents is the whole sale value delivered in the city. All Crops Look Good, From nearly all counties of Oregon come reports of very favorable con ditions for nearly everything the state produces. Winter grain crops are promising and while some local ities have had local frost damage to peaches and other early fruits, in general conditions have been favor able. Eastern Oregon has had plenty of rain and snow for the wheat crop and there has been very little winter damage to fall seeded wheat fields. Enormous Farm Investment. From 1900 to 1920 the value of farm lands in the United States more than trebled and in some states it in creased as much as twelve times. Since 1920 values have declined. If this giant industry was generally prosperous: if farmers could make fair returns for investment and la bor, the United States would go yet higher as the outstanding nation of the world. Of this situation E. W Dunlap, assistant secretary of agri culture of the United States, in a re cent speech at Jacksonville, 111., said that never before had agriculture been-placed at such a disadvantage with industry, commerce and labor and that the total value of farm crops for last year was over a billion dol lars less than in 1925 and a billion and a half less than in 192. "The larmers' problem is to narrow the gap between the farm and the con sumer," Mr. Dunlap said as one of the relief means. Field Peas Good Crop For E. O.

There is an urgent need for the education of the general public in the means of combating influenza, tuberculosis typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fe ver, and other communicable dis eases. A definite plan of action for the coming year provides for the co operation of medical men, the depart ment of education, the press, the clergy, and every other organization that can further this work. There is good reason why combined efforts should be made to get rid of -iisease. A large amount of sickness and high mortality is caused by pre ventable diseases. Diphtheria, typhoid and scarlet fever can be prevented. A systematic and simultaneous attack on a state-wide front against com municable diseases would be an ef fective way of eradicating disease. The plan proposes an active attack on contagious diseases throughout the year 1927. It is hoped that the results of this advance all along the line will encourage local health of ficers generally. It should also fur nish an object lesson to intelligent citizens throughout the state in what can be done in the prevention of dis abling sickness. The results of this plan should pave the way for a more comprehensive one, and should con tinue until the whole Northwest has been freed of these communicable and preventable diseases. Since 1884 there has been diphther ia antitoxin, a cure for diphtheria, and for many years it has been known that a lasting immunity could be pro duced by the use of toxin-antitoxin. In spite of his faet there were 150,000 cases and 13,000 deaths from diph theria on the North American contin ent in 1924. While the incidence and mortality of diphtheria in the cities during the past ten years had been very materially reduced, the mortality in the smaller places and country dis tricts remained practically where it was before the discovery of antitox in. The high mortality is among the children of preschool age. If the phy sicians, in their capacity of family physicians, will recommend the imu inunization of children by toxin-antitoxin the results we are looking for will be materially aided. There is no instance of a single death from smallpox in the numerous outbreaks that have occurred in this country when the patients had been previously vaccinated. As a result of improved methods of sanitation and typhoid innova tion the percentage of deaths from typhoid fever has been materially re duced. Oregon has one of the lowest typhoid death rates in the United ALPINE. The Alpine young people attended a farewell dance given a Rice's for Olin Ritchie Saturday evening.

Hearsay is very poor evidence and is never admitted as such in a court of justice. What then shall we say of you, my brother, if you condemn thj ihurch and the Bible when your only evidence is hearsay, Not only so, but the church and the Bible offer great things for you anj the only way you can find these things is to investigate for yourself. 'COME AND SEE." This will be the Sunday evening sermon topic at tht Church of Christ. The morning subject will be, "A Reason." A fine Bible school last Lord's Day, but we need you also.
