Farmers urged to abandon constant summer fallow in Umatilla county
B and Smith, prominent local farmer and implement dealer, argues that summer fallowing every other year injures wheat yields by making grain too rank. He proposes a two crops in three years plan with one third summer fallow, one third spring wheat, and one third fall sown wheat. He notes heavier straw, handling difficulty, and storms, but sees potential gains in yield stability and soil use, especially in heavy sections near the foothills and reservation.

Tariff Talks Spare Farmers on Farm Gear Costs
Washington October 31 Farmers would share in general price cuts under the new law but face little relief on farm equipment. The Democrat position favors free duty on implements for farmers while keeping some tariffs on imports. American makers produced $145 million of farm machinery in a recent year, with imports far smaller and unlikely to push down retail prices.

Farmers face small tariff savings on imports
Sottlx argues that lowering duties on items like Imple ments and barbed wire will not significantly boost farmers' income. He notes foreign fencing wire remains costly to compete, while duties on horses and mules drop and breeding animals enter free, yielding only modest savings for farmers overall.
