R. Breithaupt, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college. The results have just been published as a sta tion circular of information No. 161. Most of the data was obtained from records gathered during the period by the division of corps and livestock estimates of the U. S. de partment of agriculture, and are ac tual reports made monthly by vol untary farm price reporters. Interesting information brought out includes such items as direct comparison of prices for fat I and feeder lambs and fat and l feeder steers during the 10-year period, Many other comparisons between products and prices in • different counties are also known. Only through knowledge can dis ease be prevented. How to prevent tuberculosis is a part of the cam paign financed by the annual sale of Christmas seals.

A brilliant scientist stalked by the horrible shadow of a life long dead! SALES INTEREST WHEAT LEAGUE With foreign demand for wheat still uncertain from year to year, di- vision of as much wheat land as pos sible in eastern Oregon to other feed or cash crops was recommended by the Eastern Oregon Wheat league at its annual meeting held recently in Heppner. As to possibilities, the committee on production recommended careful study of the returns from feeding wheat to livestock, both by growers of wheat and feeders of hogs, sheep and cattle. Experimental results as well as practical experience of a number of feeders have indicated that wheat fed thus will return more than when sold as a cash crop. Seeding of marginal and scab land to crested wheat grass, bulbous blue grass or other permanent forage was recommended, as was the use of La- 5 dak alfalfa and sweet clover on some of the lower sub-Irrigated areas subject to washing and where wheat tends to lodge. The growing of canning pears where markets are available and peas for seed in areas distant from green pea production was also recommended. More flax seed production in Wallowa, Union and Baker counties was pointed to as a possibility. The necessity of maintaining for eign outlets for Pacific northwest wheat was emphasized by speakers at the convention, who pointed to the reciprocal trade agreements and more stabilized currencies as favor able factors. America must buy from abroad in order to sell, it was pointed out. The export problem was recognized also in vigorous action against present maritime strikes which were reported to have cost northwest wheat producers upwards to 10 million dollars through inabil ity to make use of favorable foreign markets this season. Legislation to make arbitration of such disputes compulsory was advocated. Officers elected for the coming year are Charles. Nish, Mikkalo, president; J. D. Woodell, La Grande, vice president; and Charles Smith, Corvallis, secretary-treasurer. New county executive committeemen are Fred Eppinger, Baker; Hugh Wil son. Wallowa; Gilbert Courtright, Union; Jim Hill, Umatilla; A. H. Nelson, Morrow: Lloyd Smith, Gil liam; T. M. Rolfe, Sherman; Emil Shanno, Wasco, and A. D. Anderson, Jefferson. La Grande will be the meeting place next year. GRANGE CALLS WEED CONFERENCE What is said to be a serious state wide menace to agriculture from spread of noxious perennial weeds will be the subject of an all-day conference which the Oregon State Grange is sponsoring on the state college campus in Corvallis. Satur day, December 19. Ray Gill, mas ter of the grange, has issued a gen eral invitation to farmers, members of county courts, county agents and grange agricultural committeemen to attend. The extension service of the college is cooperating in the conference and will have a number of specialists on hand to take part in the program. The grange agricultural commit tees have had weed control as a ma jor project for two years and it is now believed that the situation is such that state-wide action is neces sary, recording to Mr. Gill. The committee on weed control at the recent eastern Oregon Wheat league convention reported that the extent of weed infestation has reached a point where the possibi lity of widespread control measures is definitely beyond the reach of the individua! farmer. In the 11 coun ties covered by this organization, it was reported that there are between 25,000 and 30,000 acres of iand in fested by noxious weeds. GRAND COULEE DAM PROGRESSING THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1936. It s Christmas seal time again. Buy your share to support tor an other year the campaign of educa tion and prevention that is helping to eradicate tuberculosis. What is going on at the Grand Coulee dam is well told in an inter- view by the Herald from J. E. Hallyburton, who formerly spent several years in Hermiston and has been at Grand Coulee since the work was started. He went in over the trails and rough roads with the first rush which was like mushing into the Klondike in 1897. Mr. Hal- lyburton states that the work there is progressing steadily, and that there is no doubt among all the in habitants of the cities round about the dam that the structure will be completed to the full height of the proposed high dam. At this time over 5000 men are employed directly on the works. In addition are small sub-contractors, on various side jobs of over 300. The government also employs in its engineering crews 300 men. The last census of the population in all the towns near the dam was 20,000 | including women and children. It is | estimated that 10,000 men are em ployed, including the 6000 on the dam and about 4000 who conduct stores, shops and truck lines and all other business depending on the care of the regular workers. It has also been seen that five times the number is at work in manufacture of concrete, machinery and equip ment of all kinds throughout the northwest, and the country at large all for the great enterprise. Train loads of materials are unloaded weekly. The price of labor on the dam is an average of $5 a day, or S30 week at 40 hours. Common labor is $4 a day, and skilled labor more. Jobs for good workers are continu ous. The local county communities are allowed a large say in who the workers are, and the government protects the workers in every way. Modern hospitals are provided and the contractors pay the state for workman’s compensation as much as (J $40,000 a month. | * 111111191$ § $ s s 5 5 Christmas CANDY Specials COME IN AND GET OUR PRICES ON THESE CAN DY SPECIALS TODAY. — FRESH NUTS FOR CHRISTMAS TREATS! $ $ $ $ § Many other special prices on canned goods and farm produce. $ HERMISTON $ I MERCANTILE CÖ-OP,I § Phone 401 § § I § $ $ § a 2 s Danta 5 5 c omiles When he knows how simple Christmas shopping can be made for the car owner.
