WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH FARMING?
AGAINST DISEASE
W ith the agricultural season beginning to get under way
the eyes of the nation are focused upon agriculture and its
problems and possibilities as they seldom have been here
to fore.
Since the early days when we were primarily an agri
cultural nation, big business and financial interests are
taking an interest in the farm er’s problems from another
point of view than the mere selling of merchandise to him.
They are beginning to see the possibility that agriculture
may develop into an actually profitable industry.
For fifty years the farmers of the United States have
been crying poverty so persistently that the rest of the peo
ple have just about come to believe them. The farmer, in
the eyes of the average business man in the city, wa a poor
dubb struggling for a mere existence, facing foreclosure
and the poor house every day of his life. That was the
natural reaction from the loud outcries of the farmer
lobbyists in Washington who, whther they intended to do
so or not, conveyed the impression that unless something
was done by the government, all the farmers would have
to go out of business.
That never was the case, as anybody who knows any
thing about farming knows. There are poor farmers every
where—poor in both senses of the word. There are dis
gruntled farmers everywhere, who talk poor when they
go. »SSI. R

With Bettye F. DeHart a candidate to succeed herself
as County Treasurer, the voters of Umatilla county will
not have to spend much time figuring out who to vote for
for this office.
An Atlantic woman says she has lived to be 103 years
old by “minding her own business.” If this is actually
true, we know of a lot of people around Hermiston are apt
to die in middle age.
While there is so much talk about prohibition, why not
change the National anthem to “Coming Through the
Rye.”
