Butter Creek Comes Back
Butter Creek Valley, Big and Little, this year is
a sight for tired eyes. 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.

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

siring cracked or ground wheat will |
| have to get it processed at their own

. 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

officials point out. Secretary Wick |

least 75 million bushels of surplus ,
wheat into feeding channels before I
the movement of new crop corn gets |

Feeding experiments and demon- |

over a number of years have demon- |

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.
