THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1934 THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION JA MESSAGE ADVANCE DISCUSSION ON OAAA WILL BE HELD AT IRRIGON An advance discussion of a sched- uled meeting of all administrators, managers and members of the con- trol boards operating under market ing agreements pursuant to the Ore gon Agricultural Adjustment Act, will be held at the Irrigon school house at 8:00 o’clock, Saturday, No vember 24. The Portland meeting has been scheduled for Friday, the last day of November, 1934, at 10:00 a. m., in the assembly room on the seventh floor of the Oregon building, Fifth and Oak streets. The discussion at Irrigon will take stock of what has been accomplished and determine whether or not the OAAA should be continued. Also what modifications and amendments, if any, should be secured. "The importance of t hese mat- ters for the next two years in mar- keting," Max Gehlhar, director, says, “I believe, , justifies a 100 per cent attendance in all districts and at the Portland meeting.” R. V. Jones, a board of controol member from this district, will take the reports from this meeting to the Portland headquarters, which will assist in future administration. SUGGESTIONS MADE FOR NATIONAL GRANGE ACTION HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 15.— Numerous suggestions for furthering the work of the grange, among them the extension of cooperatives to new fields, were offered today by agri cultural leaders at a lecturers’ con- ference held in connection with the National Grange convention. Ervin C. King, master of the Washington state grange, urged be- fore the lecturers’ conference that greater use be made of the coopera tive plan. He pointed out that in his state, 7,000,000 gallons of gasoline were sold last year through 42 cou- operative stations and that the grange is operating a power manu- facturing company. King laid down twelve "com- mandments” for the successful oper- ation of cooperatives, among them: Sell at competitive prices only. Do not cut prices. Stock only staple goods required by members. Select competent managers. Pay managers reasonable salary. Give the business your hearty cooperation. Cooperate with other recognized cooperative organizations. Louis J. Taber, national master, outlined various activities through which officers of the grange might further Its work and said: "Above all, keep grange ideals high." FARM COOPERATIVES IN THE OIL BUSINESS GROWING. Mushrooming their way into the nation’s wealth stream are hundreds of fast-growing farmers’ oil coopera- fives doing an annual business of millions of dollars. Describing this, one of the out- standing developments in the farmer cooperative movement in recent years, the Cooperative Division of the Farm Credit Administration re- veals some significant figures on the volume of business done by these as- sociations. In the survey of the cooperatives in 18 states, chiefly in the Middle West, the FAC states 93 of the as- sociations reported a volume of bus year iness in excess of $50,000 each, a total of $11,708,360. The remaining 100 associations doing a business of less than $50,000 a year each, reported a total of $2,811,570. Largest reporting company was the Cooperative Union Oil Company of North Kansas City, Mo., which to taled $1,493.843 for the year. The FAC states that nearly all co operative associations sell at compe titive prices, and patronage divi dends are distributed at reasonable and normal intervals.—Grange Bul letin. DISTINGUISHED FEATURES OF THE COOPERATIVE SYSTEM. “The distinguishing features of the co-operative system Is that It exists for the common good. All land, buildings or goods acquired become the common property of all the members Every economy in dis tribution or manufacture and every advance in efficiency made within the society, benefits every member of it. instead of going to swell the profita of some one person.”—San Diego Poultry Journal.

For Mrs. New Homemaker, how- ever, here are the complete direc tions, with all the wrinkles, pre pared by Miss Lucy Case, home eco- nomics extension specialist at Ore- gon State college. First, select a plump, well-fat- tened turkey. A young bird has a more flexible breast bone, softer, smoother legs and feet, pin feath- ers, few hairs, and short, sharp laws. About Thanksgiving time young toms weigh 12 to 16 pounds and old ones 16 to 30 pounds, while young hens weigh 7 to 12 pounds and old ones 10 to 15 pounds, Scrub the outside of the bird with a wet cloth and a little soda. soap or cornmeal and rinse under run- ning water, Wipe out the inside with a wet cloth. Soaking causes toughness, Rub the inside lightly with salt and fill the body cavity and loose skin at the base of the neck with a dressing, seasoned with a little onion, sage and chopped cel- ry. Tuck the legs under the band of skin near the tail and fasten the opening with safety pins, or by sticking toothpicks across it through both flaps of skin and then lacing string across the toothpicks as a man's shoe is laced. Cut off wing tips and most of neck and save for soup. Fold the neck skin toward the back and fasten down.

TAX AFFECTS FARMERS. Effective November 1. 1934, new regulations issued by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Agricultu- ral Adjustment Act. provide that hog producers and feeders will only be required to pay processing taxes on hogs slaughtered by them and sold direct to consumers. In other cases, the tax will be paid by the first person, other than the hog producer or feeder, who performs any operation in the receiving, handling or other distribution of the product. This means if any retail er, wholesaler, commission mer chant, meat market, restaurant, ho tel. club, hospital or other commer cial establishment receives, buys or exchanges any dressed hogs or parts from a hog producer or feeder, the first domestic processing is held to be the initial act performed by such persons In handling or preparation for further distribution or use. Pre paration for further distribution or use includes any operation connect ed with receiving, storing, cutting, rendering, etc. This change affects only hogs slaughtered by farmers on and after November 1, 1934. Meat packing companies, slaughterhouses, custom killers and all other commercial es tablishments will continue to pay the processing tax as formerly on the live weight of hogs at the timo of slaughter. All commercial establishments will be required to maintain a rec ord of all pork products handled by them to show whether they are sub ject to the tax or whether it has al ready been paid by some prior pro cessor or distributor. Packers and others selling to jobbers, retailers. etc., are required to inelude in their invoices a statement certifying that 1 the first domestic processing has | been performed by them, or that ' ONE WOOD AND COAL MAJESTIC range for saie.
