KIDS GET SOUSED SAME AS
BEFORE!
Capital-Press, Salem.
A ND now the Capital Journal
is
ylping because people of all ages
and both sexes are getting drunk
and raising hell since we have tak
en on "light wines and beer." That
paper assured us that intemperance
would practically cease if we would
repeal prohibition and allow the
perefect ladies and gentlemen who
were violating the law to have light
wines and beer. Hundreds of hon
est people tried to argue the matter
with the CJ, but were summarily
characterized as intolerant dema
gogues, narrow minded wowsers,
and other favorite CJ epithets. And
now, because drunkenness has in
creased a thousand per cent and
serious accidents and frequent
deaths are multiplying incredibly
from drunken driving, the CJ Js
abusing all officials from constables
to supreme court judges because
they cannot control the impossible
situation which the CJ advocated
and helped to bring about,
The CJ declared that drinking by
boys and girls was caused entirely
by prohibition, and that if the law
was repealed they would immedi
ately be satisfied to play ping-pong
and make popcorn balls. But now
the boys and girls are getting soused
more completely and more frequent
ly than ever before and the CJ rauc
ously demands that officers cease
"permiting operators of so-called
beer gardens and the like to cater
to and prey upon boys and girls."
The editor of the Capital Journa
ls no spring chicken and has phil
andered with booze for a good many
years, so it is utter nonsense for
him now to pretend that he did not
know what would be the result of
repeal of prohibition, or that present
conditions are not what he wanted
or expected them to be. Of course,
it is good policy for him to hedge
and blame somebody else for the
havoc and heart-breaking that is
being wrought, but his sudden
blubbering concern for the morals
of Oregon boys and girls is not very
convincing and does not fool any
body. It comes too late. It is the
finest exhibition of crocodile tears
that has been seen for some time.
A LESSON IX BUTTER.
THE latest attempt of the govern
ment to peg the price of a great
commodity has gone the way of the
efforts to maintain the price of
wheat and cotton and has ended in
failure, according to many econo
mists who study the dairying indus
try of the country. Uncle Sam now
has the biggest surplus of butter on
record. Prices have dropped and it
is said that they may go even lower
in the next few months unless some
thing is done about it. What will
or can be done remains to be seen.
Four million pigs were slaughtered
by the government without increas
ing the price of hogs to the farmer
the price is lower now than when
the pig program was put into effect.
Perhaps the Brain Trust will have
something new to offer in the way
of getting rid of the surplus but
ter. On December 1, there were a
hundred million pounds more in the
country than on the same date in
1932.
A great many dairy farmers now
lay the blame for the present condi
tion to the fact that the government
went into the butter business. Thru
a Dairy Marketing commission at
Washington, the government sup
plied funds to buy 75,000,000 pounds
of butter. This was to be used la
ter for furnishing butter during the
winter to the unemployed, and to
take care of any losses in the trans
action, a butter processing tax was

put Into effect early in 1934.
This was back in the early fall.
The effect was tremendous from
the psychological standpoint. Far
mers, encouraged in the belief that
the government would furnish them
a high price for their butterfat,
commenced milking every available
cow and sending every available
pound of the product to the mar
ket The manufacturers of cheese
and evaporated milk, suffering from

got into the butter game. It looked
like an easy thing, with Uncle Sam
holding the bag.
Prices did remain firm for awhile
under the famous pegging system,
and then the bubble burst. So much
butter came on to the market from
so many different sources that the
price shrivelled. Down it went un
til by the middle of December it
had reached the lowest figure in
thirty-five years, so far as the Chi
cago market was concerned. A num
ber of so-called "smart" speculators
who bought butter early in the fall
expecting to make a killing, now
suffered a loss along with the far
mers and butter-makers.
So much butter was manufactured
under the stimulus of government
price pegging that on December 1,
according to official figures, stocks
of butter on hand were more than
138,000,000 pounds, comparing with
a stock of less than 38,000,000 on
December 1, 1932, a gain of more
than 100,000,000 pounds. And the
price had gone down more than 50
per cent. Truly it is hard for any
body to beat the law of supply and
demand. Uncle Sam cannot do it,
even under the expert tutelage of
the Brain Trust.
Butter-makers say that the un
employed cannot possibly consume
the government's stock of butter,
60,000,000 pounds, by the first of
May, the time when production will
be on in full blast again. But the
government experts say that the
unemployed can and will do it. No
doubt every effort will be made to
see that they do eat it One of the
first big tasks of Professor Tugwell
and his band of warriors would,
therefore, seem to be to make the
unemployed of the country butter
conscious.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale names
a list of eighteen men who, he says
are the only experts who under
stand the real meaning of money.
Well, we may not understand its
real meaning but we certainly
would know what to do with it if
we could get hold of some.
City Officials Hold Meet
and Discuss Problems
Eugene. Legislation for liquor
control, federal aid civic work, city
planning and a wide variety of top

POMONA GRANGE
HELD SATURDAY
Interesting Program Featured at
Opening Session at Lexington;
Resolutions Adopted.
Morrow County Pomona grange
met at Lexington Saturday, with
Lexington grange as host. While
the attendance was not large at the
forenoon session, a splendid crowd
was out for the lecturer's program
and the further afternoon and eve
ning meetings. Some of those ex
pected to have a part on the lec
turer's program were unable to at
tend, but this lack was made up in
the presentation of the following
good numbers: "

THIRTY COUNTIES
NOW HAVE AGENTS
State Conference of Agricultural
Staff Members Shows Work
For Farm Benefits.
More counties in Oregon than
ever before will have the services of
county agents this year, reports F.
L. Ballard, county agent leader, fol
lowing completion of county bud
gets throughout the state. Thirty
of the 36 counties have definitely
arranged for agents, with Columbia
county still endeavoring to raise
the necessary match money by pri
fate subscription. Gilliam and
Sherman counties have added ag
ents, while Jefferson has joined
with Crook in engaging one.
Because of the vital connection
between the extension agents and
the work of the Agricultural Ad
justment administration, one or two
other counties are contemplating
engaging agents, following decision
of the AAA not to continue the
practice of supplying emergency
agents as was done during the
wheat campaign.
Partly because of the responsibil
ity placed on the agricultural staff
of the Oregon State college In
bringing to Oregon the benefits un
der the various federal efforts in
behalf of agriculture, the complete
staff of the extension service, ex
periment stations and instructional
division is holding a state wide con
ference at Corvallis this week.
Fears that the program of the
AAA would bring an "army of fed
eral agents" to put the plans Into
effect and enforce their provisions
have not been borne out, largely
because the national administra
tion turned to the existing forces
connected with the land grant col
leges to meet the emergency.
As a result, O. S. C. officials poin
out, much time ha3 been and will
be spent with these emergency
projects by Oregon forces. First
was the work in connection with
getting emergency crop loans last
spring, followed by subsistence gar
den projects, and then the wheat
allotment campaign. Now the corn
hog control campaign is on, which
in -turn is expected to be followed
by the dairy adjustment program.
Meanwhile the college forces have
been called upon to direct three
projects under the CWA, one con
cerned with surveying rural home
And It Drives Him Speechless, Too
building conditions; one with a sur
vey of delinquent tax and mortgage
foreclosure conditions, and a third
with the past experience with sub
sistence homesteads in this state.
Two Oregon Dairy Meets
Scheduled for February
The annual convention of the
Oregon Dairymen's association has
been announced for La Grande for
February 16 and 17, and the annual
convention and short course of the
Oregon Butter and lee Cream Mak
ers' association at Oregon State
college February 19 to 22, by the
officers of these two major dairy
groups of the state.
President George Fullenwider of
the Dairymen's association is pre
paring for an up-to-date program
for the producers which will bring
them the latest developments in the
prospective AAA progran for dairy
production control. Other features
will also be included on the pro
gram, including addresses by some
nationally known men that are be
ing obtained for the meeting.
Butter and Ice cream makers of
the state never fail to turn out in
large numbers for their combined
business and educational meeting
at the college. This year President
F. F. Moser of Corvallis is prom-J
ising a convention program second
to none in the past. Featured among
the speaker is Dr. B. W. Hammer,
dairy bacteriologist at Iowa State
college.
Oregon Women to Learn
Home Crafts by Radio
To help Oregon homemakers ov
ercome some of the handicaps of
the depression by "creating beauty
radio broadcasts under that title
with home crafts," a series of 13
has been arranged by KOAC, the
state-owned station on the state
college campus at Corvallis. The
program is being broacast each Fri
day afternoon starting at 3 o'clock.
At least part of them will be re
broadcast simultaneously by KBPS,
the Benson high school station in
Portland.
The series of lectures will be giv
en by Cecile McAlister, experienced
home craft worker and former in
structor in the Portland Extension
center. Supplementary material is
supplied weekly without charge to
all who enroll in the course by send
ing their names to KOAC.
The course includes such prac
tical arts as preparing wool for
home use, gathering native dyes
from the Oregon woods, how to
make beautiful hooked or braided
rugs from scraps; knitting, crochet
ing and stitching; and even several
lessons on possibilities in weaving.
Commercial Canners to
Attend 0. S. C. Classes
Men interested in commercial
canning, whether beginners or old
timers at the business, are being
provided for in plans just announc
ed for the thirteenth annual can
ners' school offered by the division
of horticultural products at Oregon
State college February 5 to 17. This
short course is distinctively an Ore
gon institution and draws students
each year from other states and
even foreign lands.
This year the training course in
handling canning machines will be
hed each afternoon right through
the entire course. Forenoons for
the first week will be devoted to
fundamental work especially for
beginners or those engaged in com
munity canning operations, though
much of interest to professionals
will be included. The forenoons of
the second week will be devoted to
more advanced work in canning,
with opportunity provided for addi
tional conferences with other mem
bers of the college staff on any e
lated subjects.
