east less freight rates and handling
charges determines the price paid
at the farm out here. It takes 40
cents a bushel in freight rates to
ship our wheat east. Accordingly
40 cents must be substracted from
the price back there in determining
what a bushel of wheat is worth in
the Inland Empire.
"As 90,000,000 bushels of wheat
was raised in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho last year, the transporta
tion cost factor that was substracted
from the price in the east and south
east in determining farm prices out
here, amounted to the total sum of
$36,000,000.
"This left an average price for
wheat at the farm of 85.6 cents per
bushel in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho for the year 1936. This, ac
cording to government statistics, is
much lower than the farm price in
any other grain growing area in the
United States."
Geary told what he believed the
transportation problems of empire
wheat growers to be, saying it was
up to member organizations of the
Farm Rate council to determine
what should be done about it.
In an interview with Geary in
Portland this week, Bert Johnson,
chairman of Eastern Oregon Wheat
league transportation committee, was
thoroughly enough convinced of the
seriousness of the situation to agree
. to continue in his position with the
council traffic committee, for a time
at least, after having resigned the
position. Geary thought that John
son's loss to the work, in view of
his informed position, would be a
serious blow. Johnson has announc
ed a determination to drop all extra
activities as fast as possible, how
ever, to devote his entire time to the
county judgeship.
Summarizing the problems as he
sees them, Geary further said at
Spokane:
"Right now there are many trans
portation issues pressing to the front.
Among them are those relating to the
Pettengill bill pending before Con
gress, the proposal by tidewater
mills of free back hauls, increase of
rates into the southeast, changes in
Panama canal tolls, general increases
in rail rates upon tilings that farm
ers buy, and last, but not least, the
doubling of many ocean rates and
prices of charters; and right ahead
is the proposal of railroad execu
tives that increases in wages and
shorter hours for labor must be off
set by further increase in freight
rates upon wheat."
The organization launched to cope
with the situation, included Roy

OREGON WINNERS FILL 4-H "LEAVES"
When Clayton Fox of Imbler, (lower right) won the national Moses
trophy for 1936, Oregon "filled the leaves" of the traditional 4-H emblem
wit'i national winners. Only one other state has equaled this record.
The annual report of the club department of the OSC extension service
just issued shows that attention is not centered on a few winners, how
ever, but extends to a larger percentage of club members!:' i compared
with population than is found in many other states. Ot'.::r winners
shown above are (top) Edgar Grimes, Harrisburg, 1928; and Lois Bailey,
Eugene, 1929, and (bottom) Alex Cruickshank, McMinnville, 1927.
Taxpayers Given
Until Saturday
To Duck Deadline
With an extension of time until
Saturday for payment of taxes under
the 3 percent discount, the sheriffs
office this week has been beseiged
by last-minute taxpayers. Receipts
for the first quarter already consid
erably exceed those for the same
period last year, according to esti
mates of the sheriff, though an exact
check will not be given until after
the first quarter turnovers are com
plete. The five extra days given for pay
ment affords those who have not
already paid an opportunity to duck
under the deadline, and is expected
to augment payment considerably
more before the books are closed
Saturday evening.

Leslie L. Matlock arrived home
Sunday from Portland where he vis
ited for several weeks with his sis
ters, Mrs. E. A. Vaughn and Mrs.
Bertha Richardson, while convales
cing from a severe attack of pneu
monia. He came by train as far as
Arlington and came up from there
with Paul McCarty who was return
ing from a week-end visit in Port
land. Mr. Matlock's health is much
improved, and he said it felt mighty
good to get back to eastern Oregon.
While in Portland he called at St.
Vincent's hospital to see Mrs. Wil
letta (Adkins) Crigler, formerly of
this city, who was reported to be
making good progress toward recov
ery from a major operation.
Mrs. A. E. Burkenbine returned
home Sunday fromDorris, Calif.,
accompanied by the children of Dr.
and Mrs. A. B. Gray, whom she will
keep while Dr. Gray is recovering
from a serious illness. Friends here
are wishing for his speedy recovery.
