Transportation Aid
Sought by Growers
In an attempt to retain the sav
ings that have been made in cost of
shipping and to obtain other reduc
tions the Eastern Oregon Wheat
league is collecting a mill per bushel
from wheat growers of this area to
be expended through the Tri-State
Wheat Transportation council.
Constant watchfulness and a con
tinued fight is held necessary to
prevent raises in freight rates or to
lower such rates when they seem
higher than growers should pay. For
this reason the wheat league joined
with wheat farmers in Idaho and
Washington to form the Tri-State
council which is carrying on the
freight rate fight for wheat growers
of the northwest.
Reductions made in 1931, because
of a concerted action by growers
resulted in savings of $632,241 to
shippers, according to Arthur M.
Geary. From Oregon stations the
savings were $359,077 divided as
follows: Main line, $36,391.90; Bend
branch, $10,003.20; Shaniko branch,
$92,732.00; Condon branch, $73,311.
40; Heppner branch, $84,136.20; Pilot
Rock branch, $12,475.00; Joseph
branch, $39,062.90; Pendleton-State
line, $10,964.40.
One of two percent of this ex
pended in obtaining rate reductions
seems like good business in the
opinion of league leaders who are
sponsoring the movement.
State and local granges and the
farm bureau of Oregon are cooper
ating in making the collections.
Chairmen of the agricultural com
mittees of the granges are to solicit
for the fund and corresponding offi
cers of the bureau are doing like
wise.

E. O. Wheat League
Sets Place for Meeting
The tenth annual meeting of the
Eastern Oregon Wheat league,
scheduled for December 3 and 4, will
be held in La Grande, at the request
of growers of Wallowa, Baker and
Union counties, announces C. W.
Smith, Corvallis, secretary of the
league.
This will be the first meeting of
the league to be held east of the
Blue mountains. Because of the
larage volume of wheat being pro
duced in the Wallowa, Baker and
Grande Ronde valleys in recent
years, growers there' feel that La
Grande would be a central meeting
place, giving them an opportunity
to participate and thus become more
familiar with the objectives and
workings of the organization, Smith
said.
Five commitees will meet to con
sider transportation, taxation and
legislation, including rural electrifi
cation. Droduction. handling and
marketing, federal agricultural leg
islation and weed control. Sub-com
mittees in all major wheat producing
counties will discuss problems which
will regularly come before the va
rious committees and make recom
mendations to the state committees
which will be considered further at
the annual meeting in La Grande.
"This will be one of the biggest
and most important meetings," says
C. A. Nish, Mikkalo, president, "be
cause the league has been asked to
study all farm bills which have been
introduced in congress and make
recommendations to the state agri
culutral committee. The revised
weed and the seed laws passed at
the last session of the state legisla
ture will be discussed and farmers
will have a better understanding of
what can be accomplished under
them."
George E. Farrell, director of the
western division of the AAA, J. D.
Ross, administrator, Bonneville pow
er dam, and other nationally known
speakers will be invited to attend.
The city of La Grande is making
extensive preparations to entertain
a large crowd and has assured league
officials that hotel accommodations
and meeting rooms will be adequate
to take care of everyone, according
ot Smith.
Tribute to Notson
Paid at River Meet
The unselfish long service of the
late Samuel E. Notson in behalf of
development of transportation on the
Columbia river was recognized in
resolutions passed by the annual
meeting of Inland Empire Waterways
association at Walla Walla last week,
reports Judge Bert Johnson who
served the meeting as chairman of
the resolutions committee.
Judge Johnson himself was named
to the post of association director
from Morrow county, succeeding Mr.
Notson. The meeting was attended by
representatives from 26 counties in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and
imretus was given the start of a
successful year by encouraging mes
sages from W. B. D. Dodson, presi
dent Portland chamber of commerce,
and other leaders in the Pacific
northwest.
A directors' meeting has been
called at Walla Walla next Wednes
day to further perfect plans of as
sociation activities for the year.
Millard Rodman went to Eugene
the end of the week to attend the
Oregon-O. S. C. football game.
Marvin Casebeer, president local
F. F. A. chapter, returned Tuesday
from Kansas City, Mo., where he
attended the national convention of
the organization.
A meeting of the local chapter
was held Wednesday, the 21st, with
Clayton Wright, vice-president, pre
siding. Plans for the carnival to be
held about Nov. 6 were discussed. It
is hoped to put this event over in a
big way.
