After a period of years of depression and drouth it had faded greatly from its former glory. There was a time when its farmers were said to acquire other lands on which to stack their hay, so heavy were the yields of alfalfa. It was the beef feeding ground of the Northwest where from 5000 to 10,000 steers were fat tened each winter. Pendleton banks loaned money during the summer to wheat men and in winter the same money was used to buy cattle and eight and ten percent interest never stopped its round of re turn to he financial institutions. But times changed. Marketing conditions be came different and feeding of herds almost ceased. Along with years came the shortage of moisture and this celebrated valley lost its prestige as a great asset of Umatilla county. But the old wonderful picture seems to be revolving on the screen into sight again. Last year’s increased moisture brought back renewed hope and this year the old valley be gins to look like its former self. Great stacks of hay loom in sight already and the third crop is not yet harvested. Acres of heavy grain, where just a few years ago were scarcely worth the planting and harvesting, now assure abundant yield. And again history repeats. Cattle are cattle, sheep are sheep and hogs are hogs, and the demand for meats is heavy and profits reasonable unless ceilings fall. Perhaps the old feeding grounds will come back again. While shocks like the Creek has received for a number of years cannot be overcome in a season or two. either in production of crops or financially, if nature continues in friendly disposition, the heart of its people will soon restore the valley to its former richness.

STRAND TO BE NINTH PRESIDENT OF STATE SCHOOL Wheat prices for disposal of sur- ' plus government-held grain for feed | have been announced for Oregon at ; two levels in a new program just I authorized under terms of recent | congressional action, the state AAA | I office at Corvallis has just an- ! nonneed. For August the .two price levels | are 90 cents per bushel for all coun- I | ties east of the Cascades except Hood | Ri'er and Klamath, and 94 cents for | these two and all counties west of the Cascades. These prices are on the basis of whole wheat delivered in each coun ty. explained N. C. Donaldson. ad- | ministrative officer. Purchasers de siring cracked or ground wheat will | | have to get it processed at their own | expense. . Prices for September and October I will be at an advance of one-half cent per bushel each month. Any undelivered or resealed farm-stored wheat of the 1941 crop may also be purchased under the program for feed. Availability of this wheat at pric es approximately 85 per cent of the corn parity price presents an attrac- ! five opportunity for farmers to con- vert low priced feed into high priced meat, eggs, and dairy products. AAA officials point out. Secretary Wick | ard is urging the movement of at least 75 million bushels of surplus , wheat into feeding channels before I the movement of new crop corn gets | | under way about October 1. Every bushel moved now relieves the stor age situation that much. Feeding experiments and demon- | strations by Oregon State college over a number of years have demon- | strated that wheat can be used sue- | cessfully in feeding or fattening all I types of livestock. Information on best methods of feeding wheat may | be had in bulletin form or from any county agent. Deliveries of the government wheat are made only in carload lots, either | through local dealers or to individual or groups of farmers direct. Orders may be placed with any county AAA committee.
