ELK AVOID STARVATION
BY EATING COTTONSED
New Food Saves Lives Of Vast
Herds in Wyoming During
Severe Winter Months.

CHEYENNE, Wye. March ls.-Cot-
tonseed cake from the sunny south
saved the thousands OF elk In Wyo-
ming from starvation and prevented
the threatened extinction OF the re-
naming big herds OF this wild game,
according 10 State Game warden w.
T. Judkins.
Denying reports published in news
papers and agazines throughout the
country that thousands OF elk. espe-
cially In the famous Jackson Hole
country, were dying because heavy
snowstorms had covered the roots and
browse usually depended upon for
feed, Warden Judkins declares that
his agents. after a thorough investi-
cation. report very few cases OF star

When the severe winter storms
came in November the scarcity or
hay and its exorbitant price led Gov.
Robert ID. Carey, stockman or wide

but much skepticism was expressed
as to its food value for wild game.

however, and was an immediate sue

How To Sow
Grain Shallow

The farmers of Morrow county are,
many of them, talking the necessity
of sowing their grain shallow this
TALL. 1t Is a we'll known fact that
grain sown too deep largely fails to
come through the ground and a poor
stand and a poor yield are the re-
suits, as well as a plentiful supply of
weeds. The farmers of Sherman
county have been working with this
problem for a considerable time and
make a practice of releasing the
springs on the drills, as we'll as,
where necessary, pulling the levers
clear back and tying them out Of the
notches. If your ground is level you
will probably have no trouble in SOW
ing any depth that you may desire.

Meeting

The members of the executive CON-
mittee met in executive session Sat

ident Oscar Keithley in the chair.
Under the discussion Of Irrigation
problems, on Willow creek, it was de-
cided TO call a meeting of all water
users, for Saturday afternoon, Sep
TENDER 18th, in the 1. o. o. F. hall,
to consider any action that it might
be advisable to take for future bene-
fitting OF these rights.
Mr.. Keithley produced a letter,
which was read by the secretary,
showing that the county presidents
Of Eastern Oregon were called to
meet in the preliminary organization
OF a state Farm Bureau, at LaGrande
on August S0th, with some represent
alive Of the Extension Service. 1t

After taking up and discussing the
fact that the Farm Bureau would
be meeting with the County Court to
pass upon road matters, it was NOV
ed and seconded that a committee Of
two be appointed to confer with the
court to represent the Farm Bureau
and assist in working out any road
program, and also to represent the
Farm Bureau in presenting a re-
quest for an appropriation for the ro-

to sell their hay, that the Farm Blu

to do so, and realizing perfectly well

The Cost Plus
Profit Basis

Il has been said that the farmer IS
the one man who cannot put his bus
mess on a cost plus profit basis, that
he is compelled to take whatever Is
offered and has no option. We admit
that this has, in the past, been true.
However, at the present time the cot
ton grower, the citrus fruit grower,
the potato grower, the raisin grow
ers, the dairymen, the oregon fruit
growers, the cheese makers, several
hay associations and various othei
organizations have SO banded togeth-
er and so organized that they are
able to work on this basis. When
the grain farmer, the cattle raiser,
and the wool grower remember that
there is practically nc commodity
that they buy, practically not a man
with whom they deal but what is,
10 a greater or less extent, affiliated
or controlled by organizations which
do work with cost as the basis OF OPP
Grafton, it is easy 10 see that these
farmers are the only ones who are
not organized, and that they are the
one who are going to pay the proht
for the other man without any
chance for a come back. 1t is too
late a stage for any man to say that
any organization Of farmers cannot
succeed. Organization must succeed.
1t has succeeded and it will continue
TO succeed. A few days ago We re-
ceived a letter from the Washington
Hay Growers association which is a
Yakima valley organization, stating
that they had reached an agreement
with the United Dairy association Of
Washington to supply their hay this
year. The price will start with s2S
a ton, +. o. b. shipping point, and the
advances throughout the season will
be enough to allow for storage, in
terest on money invested and insur-
ance. This will cover a deal calling
for $4,000 tons of hay. The price
to the dairymen is based on the cost
Of producing hay. The cost in the
Yakima valley, figured by this asso-
citation, OF a ton of hay grown and
delivered baled at the car is $40 a
ton. The association requires $500
a ton for the handling and, by this
contract, the grower receives 81 prof
it.
1t is planned by this organization
that the speculation in hay will be
eliminated. 1t is hoped to keep 1t
above cost of production for the ben
eft of the hay producers.
Here is n concrete example Of
organized dairymen who have sue
ceeded in getting a stable price for
their product, and organized hay pro-
dueers who are working with the
dairymen TO get cost plus profit for
the product all down the line. The
time is here when not only these or
CARNATIONS but wool grower, the cat
tie raiser, and the grain grower will
also receive cost plus profit for their
product. Let US all help hasten the
day and keep our eye on a cost-plus
basis.

some difficulty may be had In keeping
the grain covered at all, but it is bet
to have a little laying on top than to
have too much go too deep. The YER
teal board will rest against the bars
of the drill and il can be wired to
these, or the board dragging on the
ground may be stayed with runners
so that there is no danger Of 1t tip

expedient has been tried successfully
By the farmers Of Sherman county
and we believe that it will work here.
