Peck Reports Cost
Of Wheat Raising
From ICC Hearing
Producers, Railroads
Vie Over Proposed
Freight Rate Boost
George N. Peck, president Eastern
Oregon Wheat league, is in Portland
representing Morrow county at the
Interstate Commerce commission
hearing on the proposed 15 persent
increase in railroad freight rates,
which opened Monday. In a com
munication written Tuesday and re
ceived this morning, Mr. Peck says:
"The hearing opened on the 17th
with Commissioner Lee taking test
imony. The first day was taken up
largely with the taking of testimony
from the lumber industry. The rail
roads are represented by a dozen
lawyers and many more assistants
very much jn evidence. At this in
stant they are still working on lum
ber. "A subcommittee of the ICCs
taking testimony today from agri
cultural groups being represented by
Arthur M. Geary, attorney, with such
witnesses as Mac Hoke for the live
stock industry and Oregon Farm
Bureau; Mr. Potts for the Farmers
Union, the committeemen's associa
tion for north central Washington;
Paul Tinkel for the Camas Prairie
section of Idaho representing both
the grange and the Tri-State Wheat
Transportation council, and many
others.
"The main fireworks on the wheat
men's problems will perhaps begin
tomorrow (Wednesday). A. S. Bur
ner, economist, who has charge of
an actual field survey covering 91
farms in the Columbia basin coun
ties of Oregon, 50 schedules in Uma
tilla county, 28 in Gilliam and 21 in
Sherman in Oregon, will testify.
About half the wheat in this area
comes from Umatilla, hence half the
schedules were alowed that county
Production conditions are similar in
Morrow and Gilliam, so Gilliam
schedules represent Morrow county.
Sherman county is an intermediate
yield area somewhat above Morrow
and Gilliam.
"The Sherman county records and
part of the Umatilla county records
represent fairly well production con
ditions existing in Wasco.
"Incidentally the, cost figures for
the net cost of producing wheat per
bushel in Umatilla county is 66c,.
Morrow-Gilliam 73c, and Sherman
54c, maknig an average over the
area of 66c (1936 crop year).
"To Morrow county net cost of 73c
must be added 9c freight and 2Vic
warehouse charges, making HVic
additional or 84yic coast price before
an average Morrow county grower
can figure on anything more than
breaking even.
"There are many things that enter
into these cost schedules, such as
yield per acre, etc., but as a whole,
I believe that they reflect the true
cost of producing wheat fairly ac
curately, 'v
"Jas. B. Adams of Moro will testi
fy for the Eastern Oregon Wheat
league, as will also Senator Clyde
Kiddle of La Grande. I expect to
offer what testimony is necessary
for Morrow county.

Dr. Shaw Reports
Work on Diseases
Oregon's unsolved domestic ani
mal diseases are undergoing inten
sive study at the Oregon experiment
station as a result of a special ap
propriation made for this purpose
by the recent legislature, Dr. J. N.
Shaw, associate veterinarian, re
ported to the Oregon Woolgrowers
association at its annual convention
in Prineville.
Most progress thus far has been
made with the study of "stiff lamb"
disease, the white muscle disease of
sheep, and the so-called Curry coun
ty lamb disease. In no case has a cer
tain control method been worked
out in the limited time since the
studies were started, but in some
cases the apparent cause has been
found, and in others widely suspect
ed causes have been eliminated,
throwing the way open to concen
trated study of other possible causes.
A fedinite organism has been iso
lated from stiff lambs under study
which, when injected into other
lambs, has produced similar symp
toms, giving every reason to believe
that it is responsible for the trou
ble. At the same time, it has been
found that there are a number of
different kinds of stiff lamb disease
which apparently arise from differ
ent causes.
No infectious agent has been found
for the white muscle disease of sheep
so study is now being directed to
other sources of this malady, which
causes heavy losses in some parts
of the state.
An organism has also been identi
fied in connection with the Curry
county lamb disease which produces
death in healthy lambs. As it ap
peared to be similar to one known
to cause a disease common in Eng
land, for whcih an anti-toxin had
been developed, some of the mater
ial was obtained and was used with
partial success, though more ex
tended trials are planned.
Other diseases being studied or
observed include lunger disease of
sheep, anaplasmosis among cattle,
and troubles arising from having
sheep on irrigated pastures. The in
vestigations are being carried on
jointly by Dr. O. H. Muth and Dr.
Shaw.
Members of the Board of Control
have been invited by Superintendent
S. B. Laughlin to witness a dress
parade of his charges at the Boys'
Training school. The boys, Laughlin
said, are being drilled twice daily by
a former regular army sergeant.

More Barley Production Urged
"Because of generally higher
yields of barley than wheat, we urge
wheat farmers who grow livestock
to grow barley instead of wheat for
feeding operations. Experiments at
the Eastern Oregon Livestock ex
periment station show wheat to be a
superior feed. Therefore when the
price level of wheat is equal to or
less than barley, we urge wheat feed
ing for finishing stock. It is partic
ularly desirable to make use of low
grade or smutty wheat in this way.
Feeding experiments show no ill
effects from feeding smutty wheat."
