FRANCE SEEKS NEW
COMMERCIAL PACT
Paris.—The Franch reply to the
American representations concerning
the new French tariff rates proposes
to accord American commodities a 50
per cent reduction of the general tar­
iff now effective, to hold during nego­
tiations for a commercial treaty be­
tween France and the United States.
Since the general tariff is four
times the minimum rate, American
products thus would have to pay twice
that assessed on imports from Ger­
many and other countries with which
France has commercial treaties.
France askg the United States for
reciprocity in the complete sense of
the word rb the only acceptable basis
for a tariff treaty between the two
countries.
In a note replying to American rep­
resentations concerning the new
French tariff schedule, the French for
elgn office set forth the French con­
ception of reciprocity as the condi­
tions for entering upon fruitful nego­
tiation of a tariff treaty.
The Impression in both French and
American circles was that the note
simply was the first step in opening
what are likely to be prolonged treaty
negotiations.
ADDITIONS ARE MADE TO
DAIRY* SHOW PREMIUM LIST
Two additions to premlumg offer­
ed for exhibits In the Hermiston Dai­
ry and Hog »how that do not appear
in the premium list as published have
been made by the board of directors.
Prizes will be offered for food
cooked with honey used to sweeten
it. The Umatilla County Beekeepers
association gave $10 toward these
prizes.
The best dlsplayg of onions will
also receive prizes.
Some features of the changes that
have been effected In farming dur­
ing the days since the war are to be
found on the big ranch on Butter
creek, owned by J. B. Saylor and op­
erated by him and his son, Ralph
Saylor.
For many years Mr. Saylor was in
the cattle busine^, on a fairly large
scale, but of late the cattle business
hag been more or less Incidental on
the ranch, and poultry raieing has
come to the front.
Approximately 350 turkeys are
ranging over the place at present,
preparing themselves for the fall and
winter market. Then there are a good
many chickens being raised, too. One
phase of the chicken raising is the
capon businees. Saylors have 600 of
these big birds.
"Our getting Into the capon busi­
ness was almost an accident,” Mr.
Saylor said with a smile. "We sold
our turkeys to Gilbert Smith for
Swift's last fall, and noticed the cap-
ong on his place. We talked to him
about capons and deeded to try a
few ourselves, The first thing we
knew the number of birds we had for
capons became more than a few. We
have about 600 of them and think
they are doing fine,”
Capong are much easier to raise
than turkeys, according to the exper­
ience of the Saylors.
“We've had no trouble.with the ca­
pons at all,” Mr. Saylor said. "The
turkey« are little bother after they
are well started, but they require
considerable attention w hile they are
small. I believe that those that run
with the turkey hens are more pro­
fitable than those that are raised In
brooder houses.”
»
Last year the Saylor turkeys grad­
ed exceptionally well. They had only
two birds to grade No. 2, and one of
them had a crooked breast.
•‘I’ve finished enough beef cattle
in my day to know better than to
put any sort of bird or animal on the
market unless It is well fattened,”
he said. ”1 hope we have as good re­
sults with the ones we sell this year."
Beef cattle will be back on the
ran'-h again this winter. Two crops
of alfalfa are taking too much stack
room on the ranch, so Mr. Saylor re­
cently scoured the central and part
of the eastern part of the state In
quest of some steers. He could not
find as many ag he wanted but suc­
ceeded in getting some, and the
steers will take th€ hay to market,
or at least a big part of It.
