PATIENCE NEEDED.
11THEN it comes to getting any
W relief through governmental
agencies, the element of patience
must enter largely into the picture.
In another column we are publish
ing an article from the Portland
branch of the Regional Agricultur
al Credit corporation, which urges
the farmers of Eastern Oregon,
whose wheat crops have been killed
or seriously injured by the recent
cold snap, to get in their applica
tions for crop production loans. In
his letter, Mr. Wiliams, manager of
the Portland branch, recognizes
that most of the wheat in the East
ern Oregon territory will have to be
reseeded, and states that "We are
now in a position to be of real as
sistance to wheat farmers, but if
we are to be of such assistance, ap
plications must be filed at once. At
best it will take about four weeks
to get a loan completed, and we are
anxious that those requiring aid
make application at once."
This has been the understanding
of C. W. Smith, county agent of
Morrow county, and he has been
active during the past ten days or
two weeks in getting hold of the
situation, locally, and has worked
to get farmers lined up with their
applications. Just now, as he re
ports, the considerable number of
aplications sent to Portland have
been returned as the applicants
have not come up to scratch In all
particulars. This result has evi
dently disappointed many and add
ed to their discouragement and des-
spair in the trying emergency; they
are perplexed, not knowing just
what will happen. Here is where
the element of patience enters the
picture.
Mr. Smith, after a thorough in
vestigation of the conditions, esti
mates from 75 per cent to 85 per
cent of the wheat in the county is
frozen out, or injured to such an
extent that other wheat will have
to be seeded. He also ascertained
that Morrow county is some three
weeks ahead of the other counties
in Eastern Oregon in getting in ap
plications for loans; that our farm
ers have recognized the time ele
ment required in putting the loans
through, and anticipated their
needs by getting applications in
early. From the present set-up it
will require anywhere from 14 to
30 days to complete a loan from
the time the application goes in.
Committees from the various
counties are now beginning to func
tion, and they will work with the
Oregon branch of the Regional Ag
ricultural Credit corporation, to get
some of the red tape cut out; al30
to prepare a waiver that will meet
with the approval of the mortga
gees. The farmers of this county,
having been the first to get in ap
plications, are pioneering the way,
and by the time our neighbors get
going, matters that are now holding
up applications will doubtless have
been cleared up and there should be
smooth sailing. However, no one
will know whether or not he can
get help until his application goes
in.
now in the country press are news.
Each week they contain the latest i
in prices and the public by the use j
of the country press have become
price-minded. They watch the ads. j
Another great change that we have
noticed in the country press, and
within the last couple of years is
the editorial expression of the pa
per. It is an innovation and the
country editor is speaking right out
and doing a gilt-edge job, and the
editorial influence of the country
press has grown with leaps and with
bounds. There is a personality to
a country newspaper that no long
er dominates the city daily, and
this gives it a currency proportion
ate with the known character of the
author. It may sound like a strange
and fantastic statement to say that
the unity of our nation is held in
tact largely through the influence
of the country press. We once had
a subscriber tell us that he did not
give a "damn" what the paper said
about him for he could walk out of
its circulation in 30 minutes. But
those days are gone, and from
scanning the country press of to
day and recalling the country news
paper of 30 years ago, we look upon
this trade, this craft, and this art
with feelings akin to the same pride
that we survey the evolution of the
race from monkey to man. And,
we don't want to go back to the
good old days of Lydia Pinkham,
Doan's pills and sticking up land
notices with nonpariel type, a col
umn of two of boiler plate and
nothing but delinquents for readers.

Robert R. Butler, congressman
from the second Oregon district,
was not able to overcome the rav
ages of pneumonia, and death
claimed him at Washington, D. C.
on Friday last. His body left
Washington Monday and will arrive
at The Dalles tomorrow, where fu
neral services and burial will take
place. Robert Butler, in his three
terms in congress, proved his abil
ity as a statesman, and was a loyal
and valuable representative of the
second district Though defeated
for reelection in the last campaign
by the democratic landslide, his po
litical career only suffered a short
intermission, and he would doubt
less have been again honored with
high place by a constituency that
had learned to appreciate his fit
ness for important positions of
trust. His term would have ex
pired on March 4th, and there is
no hklihood of a special election
being called to choose a man to
fill the vacancy for this short per
iod.

WE HAVE been scanning
country press for 30 years.
well we recall the days of "boiler
plate." We had a couple of columns
of it which we used to run for
weeks at a time, and some of the
more critical of our subscribers
would write in and want to know
why we never finished that story,
That is all we had of it But we
had a lot of nonpariel type that we
set land notices with, and then we
had a lot of patent medicine cuts,
like Hall's catarrh cure, which same
copy ran for 48 years, and Doan's
kidney pills, Lydia Pinkham's
Compound and Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral and there was always a cut of
the Scientific American to fill in
with. Merchants never changed
their ads. They used to head their
ads with "Live and Let Live." The
more progressive merchants chang
ed their ads four times a year;
with the seasons. And the up-to-date
country newspaper kept mov
ing to the districts where people
were taking up timber claims anu
the printer set up the notices with
nonpariel type. When they ran out
of subscribers they would put on a
campaign for two-bits or four-bits
a year. But the country newspaper,
in Oregon, has taken on form, dig
nity and decorum and is now one
of the out'rtanding institutions of
influence in our business, political
and social life. Typographically it
compares most favorably with the
high-toned city daily. Its news is
a compendium or Hie ana events
given far more accurately and
minutely, within its territory than
is physically possible in a great
metropolitan newspaper. We have
noticed these changes. We have
noticed the great change in local
advertising copy. Local advertis
ing was solicited and given to help
the printer along, ana me name,
business and address was all there
was to the ad and it ran until the
tvr wore out, or the merchant
old out or died of old acre. Ads
MART A. NOTSON. Reporter.
It is amusing to note the slump
that has befallen the estimates of
the revenue to be obtained from a
tax on beer. Only a short time ago,
Augustus A. Busoh was talking
about the amount to be paid into
the treasury, estimating it at $500.
000,000. Now, when congress is
getting down to real estimates, the
figures have dropped to $125,000,000.
However, that means that, if the
five cent glass of beer comes back
the poor fellows with an appetite
for beer must spend $625,000,000 in
order to put one and a quarter mil
lion into the treasury. It means
$625,000,000 less for bread, milk,
butter, ice cream, and clothing. It
means many undernourished little
children going to school with scan
ty clothing. It means less efficient
workmen. It means that many
mothers will again take in washing
in order to provide for the little
children. It means less taxes for
the billionaires.
The brewers have been loud in
advertising that they will spend so
much money in refitting the brew
eries and will buy so much of the
farmers' products and thus spread
prosperity everywhere. Much of
this stuff is pure bunk. It has
been conclusively shown that the
farm products used in producing
the per capita increase in the use
of milk is much greater than all
the grain used by the brewers,
There will be a diminishing demand
for the farmers' produce if bee
comes back. The economic good
arising from the manufacture of
beer is exceedingly small. The loss
in efficiency on the part of work
men, the loss of time by men who
will fail to report for duty on Mon
day mornings as in the old days,
the loss to merchants and indus
tries because less will be spent
with them will be enormous. The
only people who will be benefitted
will be the brewer and the distrib
utors of beer. They will extract
from the pockets of the poor beer
drinker large sums of money and
give him that which will not only
do him no good but will be a det
riment to him. It is difficult for
some, people, viewing the question
from an economic standpoint, to
see wherein the brewer stands on
much higher ground than the hold
up man.
Then, again, they howl about the
moonshiner and bootlegger selling
more booze than was sold in the
old days. If they do, they must
use more products in the manufac
ture of the stuff they sell. So, if
they are put out of business, the
producer will lose that trade and
the legalized manufacturer will
not make up for all of the loss.
They talk of the enormous sums
of money spent with the bootleg
ger. Even if that is so, it does the
public at large just as much good
for the bootlegger to get and spend
that money as it would if it went
through the hands of the big brew
ers and distillers. Moreover, the
moonshiners, bootleggers and home
brewers can never get the strangle
hold on the different units of gov
ernment which the distillers, brew
ers and saloonkeepers had in the
old days. However, it is not true
that the moonshiner and home
brewer use more products In mak
ing their products for they do not
make anything like the amount of
booze that the licensed distillers
and brewers made. The liquor in
terests think they can fool all the
people all the time. We will see.
ON LIKING PEOPLE
Jesus loved to be in the crowd.
Apparently he attended all the
feasts at Jerusalem not merely as
religious festivals but because all
the folks were there and he had an
all-embracing fondness for folks.
We err if we think of him as a so
cial outsider. To be sure it was
the "poor" who "heard him gladly,"
and most of his close disciples were
men and women of the lower class
es. But there was a time when he
was quite the favorite in Jerusalem
The story of his days is dotted with
these phrases. ... "A certain ruler
desired him that he should eat with
him." . . . "They desired him greatly
to remain and he abode two days.
. . . Even after he had denounced
the Pharisees as "hypocrites" and
"children of the devil," even when
the clouds of disapproval were
gathering for the final storm, they
still could not resist the charm of
his presence, nor the stimulation
of his talk.
No other public character ever
had a more interesting list of
friends. It ran from the top of the
social ladder to the bottom. Nico-
demus, the member of the supreme
court, had too big a stake in the so
cial order to dare to be a disciple,
but he was friendly all the way
through, and notably at the end
Some unknown rich man, the own
er of an estate on the Mount of
Olives, threw it open to Jesus glad
ly as a place of retirement and rest.
When he needed a room for the last
supper with his friends he had only
to send a messenger ahead and ask
for it. The request was enough,
And in the last sad hours, when the
hatred of his enemies had complet
ed its work and his body hung life
less from the cross, it was a rich
man named .Joseph a rich man
who would have sunk into oblivion
like the other rich men of all ages
except for this one great act of
friendship who begged the author
ities for his body, and having pre
pared it for burial laid it in a pri
vate tomb.
Such were his associates among
the socialy elect What sort
people made up the rest of his cir
cle? Ail sorts. Pharisees, fisher
men; merchants and tax collectors
cultivated women and outcast wo
men; soldiers, lawyers, beggars,
lepers, publicans and sinners,
What a spectacle they must have
presented trailing after him through
the streets. But Jesus loved it all
the pressure of the crowd, the
clash of wits, the eating and the
after-dinner talk. When he was
criticized because he enjoyed it so
much and because his disciples did
not fast and go about with gloomy
looks, he gave an answer that
throws a wonderful light upon his
own conception of his mission
"Do the friends of the bride
groom fast while the bridegroom
still with them?" he demanded.
"Not a bit of it; they enjoy every
moment of his stay. I am the
bridegroom; these are my hours of
celebration. Let my friends be
happy with me for the little while
that we are together. There will
be plenty of time for solemn
thoughts after I am gone."

Electric Hotbed Shown
To be Highly Practical
How to have the advantage of
electric heat for hot beds or prop
agating benches at reasonable cost
is described in a recent bulletin
from the Oregon Experiment sta
tion written by F. E. Price and C.
J. Hurd, agricultural engineers.
Though of comparatively recent
origin, the electric soil heating de
vices have set the pace among farm
electrical equipment for quick popularity.
Even before the experiment sta
tion workers had perfected the
equipment to the point where they
were ready to recommend it gen
erally, growers and especially prop
agators of ornamental plants, were
installing the equipment then be
ing experimented with and were
getting such satisfactory results
that demand for more information
was insistent.
The present llustrated bulletin
is the result of the extensive exper
imenting that has been carried on
at Corvallis and with cooperators
in commercial work in various
parts of the state. Costs and pro
cedure have been carefully worked
out so that the bulletin as issued
forms a handy guide to anyone con
templating installing such equip
ment, or it will help answer the
question of whether such equip
ment will pay in a given situation.
Advantages listed for the electric
beds over the usual manure hot
beds include automatic temperature
control at any desired point, result
ing in better quality plants; rate of
growth can be controlled, plants
can be grown to transplanting size
more quickly, and the electric beds
can be used two or more times In
one season. Soil heating cable costs
only $5 for a 6 x 6 foot bed, and a
thermostat from $5.75 to $11, so In
stallation costs are not excessive.
Advantages of the electric beds
over greenhouses for plant growing
Include much smaller Initial cost,
elimination of need for extra cold
frames, elimination of use of "flats"
for the seedlings, and elimination
of much labor by the new method.
For use in propagating beds for
cuttings the electric equipment hag
given such amazing results that its
effect is being felt In the industry.
Cuttings are rooted in a fraction of
the usual time and some species
never before propagated that way
are rooted with ease.

Ten Most Outstanding
Accomplishments Given
What he considers the 10 greatest
single accomplishments of the Ore
gon Agricultural experiment sta
tion have been listed by Dr. W. A.
Schoenfeld, present director of the
station who joined the state col
lege staff but recently and hence
had no connection with the work
he lists as most outstanding. Here
is his list which necessarily omits
many achievements others might
place at the top:
1. Discovery of a metnoa oi re
moving; sorav residue from fruit
This emereencv achievement saved
Oregon's crops in the crisis ana is
now standard the world over.
2. Discovery of the cause and
control of contagious abortion in
cattle. The "Oregon Systetm" of
control put this state in the front
rank in this vital work.
3. Introduction of Federation
wheat This variety, which aver
ages from two to five bushels above
others, is now the most widely
grown wheat In the entire norm
west
4. Development of the system of
breeding poultry for egg production.
This revolutionary idea produced
the first 300 egg hen and started
Oregon's poultry industry.
5. Discovery of life history ana
control of the codling moth under
Oregon conditions. This pioneer
work by Dean A. B. Cordley was
forerunner of subsequent disease
and pest control work that makes
commercial growing possible.
6. Development of the Oregon
small seed industry through intro
duction of new forage crops. The
Industry Is based largely on -0
new introductions by the station
7. Improvement of old summer
fallow methods in eastern Oregon,
This improved system is credited
with increasing yields about six bu
shels per acre.
8. Control of liver flukes in sheep
and goats. The station found the
snail alternate hosts of the flukes
and devised means of eradicating
them.
9. Discovery of the value of sul
fur as a fertilizer. On alfalfa and
other legumes on many Oregon
soils hay yields were increased a
ton or more per acre.
10. Discovery of a new and sim
ple method of fowl pox control. A
new system of vaccination makes
unnecessary further losses from
this devastating poultry disease.
Dr. Schoenfeld selected these
from scores of others listed in a
new condensed report on agricul
tural research accomplishments
said to return 10 to 15 million dol
lars a year to the state. More than
300 problems are now under inves
tigation and more than 100 others
requested have been discontinued
or not started for lack of funds.
Flexible Cash Rentals
Now Possible in State
Use of the farm price index
suggested as a possible means of
giving elasticity to cash rental con
tracts on farms by L. R. Breit-
haupt, extension economist at Ore
gon State college, who points out
that wide fluctuations in farm
prices in recent years have impress
ed both renters and owners with
the need of some less rigid arrange
ment.
The Oregon farm price index
published each month by the exten
sion service and constitutes a sea
sonally corrected average of the
farm price of 16 commodities that
accounted for more than 80 per
cent of the farm cash income from
crop and livestock production from
1928 to 1930.
This five-year period is taken as
normal, or 100 per cent Assuming
that a given farm would have rent
ed in normal times at $500, then
under prices such as prevailed
1929 when the index was 109. the
rent would automatically raise
$545. But under prices such as
year later when the index was only
84, the figure would be automatic
ally reduced to $420. For Octob
1931 the index was down to 55,
which would put the cash rent
the Instance given down to $275.
Such a plan is actually being fol
lowed already In some parts of Iowa
where- such contracts have been
written. It has the advantage
removing the element of risk and
therefore encourages good farm
Ing from a long-time viewpoint
which is an advantage to owner,
renter and the community gener
ally, Breithaupt explains.
Light Ration Found Best
Prairie City the practice of feed
Ing a light ration of grain to sheep
over a longer period is giving much
better results this winter than were
obtained in the past from a heavy
ration for a short time, reports th
manager of the G. S. L. Smith ranch
near here. The new method was
suggested by County Agent R. G.
Johnson.
Mill Run Cheapest Feed.
Astoria Mill run at present
prices is the-cheapest source of di
gestible nutrients for dairy cattle
