here, probably, that Heppner got

with his natural acquisitive in

cared for mules in this part of M, for the following purpose
the country. This pack train car
ried freight from Umatilla to
Boise, Idaho, and to many inter
mediate points, Canyon City in
particular The Cayuse Indians,
of the Blue mountains, commit
ted many depredations upon this
train, stealing several mules at
a time, until finally they took
the last of the train. Before he
died, Mr. Heppner received a re
imbursement from the United
States government for the train.
Tbe American mastery ormodero
tanning techniques gives us a big
edge in strength over any potential
aggressor, according to Dr. Herrell
DeGraff, outstanding Cornell Uni
versity agricultural economist
This la because farm productivity
is an accurate measure of a coun
try's Industrial strength as veil as
the health of its population, he said.
Writing In Steelways Magazine,
Dr. DeGraff said, "Russia, for In
stance, has yet to win the war of
steel plows and the efficiency which
they symbolize."
J Comparing the agriculture sys
tems of the two countries, be said,
"America's basic advantage makes
iRussia look like a 14-year old boy
pitted against a brawny blacksmith
tin a weight lifting contest"
" "We have to go back to shortly
before the Civil War," he added,
"to find when the American farm
er's productivity was as low aa the
Russians' in 1938. American agri
culture in prewar years turned out
six times as much as each worker
on the land in Russia."
The use of prewar figures was
necessary, Dr. DeGraff explained,
for the reason that the Soviets do
not give out statistics now. He also
said that "even if we had the in
formation, it would hardly be sat
isfactory to draw a comparison
since Russia's agricultural produc
tion was far more disrupted by the
war than ours was."
Although Russia is the largest
nation in the world, containing one
sixth of the world's land area, and
with a population one-third greater
than that of the United States,
agriculturally speaking, Dr. De
Graff pointed out this nation's out
put of farm produce in the years
for which we have a comparison
exceeded Russia's by 60 per cent
Both countries had approximately
the same harvested crop acreage,
prewar.
"Except In a few operations, Rus
sia's claim to bave the most mech
anized agriculture In the world is
a gross exaggeration," Dr. DeGraff
stated. "The bulk of Russian farm
work is done by hand while the
SVmerican farmer, using machines
made mostly of steel, supplied bj
an aggressive American Industry,
never ceased to expand the effec
tiveness of his work."
Dr. DeGraff quoted figures to
show that the Russian fannei
worked 63 hours before the war to
grow one acre of com, while In this
country American farmers worked
only 16 hours and obtained double
the yield.
- Russians, according to the arti
cle, required 330 hours to raise and
harvest an acre of cotton. American
producers do the same in 91 hours.
While the farmer In this country
labored i hours to raise and har
vest an acre of wheat the Russian
farmer took 47 hours and even then
got less wheat Sugar beets,- po
tatoes, milk and poultry produ
tloh all followed the same pattern.
"The great vitality and' produc
tiveness of American agriculture
has been the basis of the rising
strength of the nation and the ris
ing standard of living," Dr. DeGrafl
said. "We now use only one-sixth
of the nation's productive effort to
provide for this country and still
ship 10 per cent of our farm pro
duce overseas."
Production levels In the United
States are ever-increasing. Dr. De
Graff explained; "because Individ
uals have had freedom to work. and
enjoy the fruits of labor. Under
that system we have built an eco
nomic system that has stimulated
production, individually and In the
mas 8.
"The steel industry and - other
allied Industries, making possible
such machines of Increasing effi
ciency, constantly reduce still far
ther the manpower needed to pro
duce food and thus release more
men to devise and produce more
ways to build higher the level of
our civilization.
"Whatever else may be beh'nd
the Iron Curtain, we know It hides
great weaknesses. Our strength Is
In plain sight The steel coming
from the mills, the machines from
our factories and the production
from our farms make it possible
to get 'from each according to his
ability in Increasing measure, the
stuff of life."
