tuh fruit, apples, peaches, potatoes,
melons, poultry and eggs, dairy pro

Tho substantial growth of coopera
tlvo marketing actlvltlea In this
country Is perhaps best Illustrated by
tho fact that tho aggregate volume
or business done In a single year
through cooperative associations and
exchanges runs up Into tho hundreds
of millions of dollars.
The Handling of farm crops by
groups of farmers through central
associations and exchanges offers
many advantages, such as tho Im
provement and standardization of
grading and packing; tho obtaining
mid use of rollablu crop and market
Information; tho Intelligent develop
ment of pormanont markets; tho ef
fecting of savings through tho collec-
-4lrn sale of form products nnd pur
haso of farm supplies; the propor

An organization founded on dlro
need with a woll-doflned purpose has
should be held and by-laws contain
ing a definite working plan should bo
adopted. This plan should pruscrlbn
the objects of the association wheth
er It Is to bo of stock or nonstock
form, tho method of financing, the
duties and powers of tho officers and
members, and tho general plan of
operation, It Is advisable to Incor
porate In tho plan definite methods
of handling the members' products,
systems of pooling the results and
making returns for products sold. A
cooperative association should bo In
corporated In order to give It the
proper legal standing.
In most Instances contracts be
tween the members and thu associa
tion, whereby they agree to market
certain products through It, ar of
vital Importance. This Is especially
i true In thu case of asslelatlous Itiindl

Heller that each county in Oregon
should have nt least onn represents
tlvo In tho lower house or the legis
lature Is growing. This Is n matter
which will come up when thn legls
latum meets In January and a special
committee Is appointed to reappor
tlon tho districts or thn senators and
representatives, It promises to be a
political storm center, for no county
will want to surrender any of Its pro
sent representation and most or them
will want more than they now have.
U tho plans or certain lawmakers
aro successful thn people or tho
stato will be asked to change tho con
stitution so that thn momhomhlp or
tho bouse can be Increased frm 60 to
some number sufficiently largo to
carry out tho programme. How largo
tho house should be under a new ar
raugement has not been determined,
even tentatively.
There are now 11 Joint represents
live districts and thoso Joint districts
range from two counties to six. For
Instance, Crook, Deschutes, Jnffer
son, (Iront. Klamath, and Inkn coun
ties form a Joint district and hate
two Joint representatives, In the
coming session It happens that tho
two representatives come from thn
same county and flvo or tho counties
In the district are dependent on these
men who live within few miles of
each other.
Among the members of the Mult
nomah delegation and others scat
tered throughout thn state, it Is being
advocatoed that every county., have
ono representative; that all Joint
districts tor the house bo elimi
nated, and that ofter each county has
ono representative, tun counties
whose population Justifies them can
have additional members. On thin
basis :ifi or tho present members
would be accounted for, and tho re
maining 21 members would have to
he apportioned among tho morn pop
ulous counties, such as Multnomah,
haiie, Marlon, Clackamas and Wash
ington. Multnomah now has l' re
preseutatlven anil one Jointly with
Clackamas; Marlon has flvo; l.aue,
Mini, Washington and Clackamas
three each.
Kast of tho Cascudes only three
counties can boast of their own rep
resentatives, these being Maker,
Union nod Umatilla, ami Union also
has a hulMntorest with Wallowa In
another. AH or tho other counties of
Eastern Oregon, representing a good
half of tho state, aro In Joint districts.
Koprcsontatlon Is based on popula
tion, tho federal census figures being
thu foundation, With ovory county
having Its own representative. East
ern Oregon would have 18 as against
13 at present Hood Hiver and Wasco
aro a Joint district, but aro allowed
two Joint mombom, bo they virtually
have one each.
Ono of tho disagreeable featun'H or
Joint districts In that usually there
aro local rlvalrlonn nnd Jealousies
mixed up In tho elections and one
county or u Joint district rights
against nnothor county In tho district
and no matter which county tho Joint

TMIINK what Oregon industries
in eati to YOU how they'
nfl'ect your job or business. Isn't
it true tliiit every man, womr.n and
chiltl in the state has been directly
or indirectly benefited by the in
dustrial growth of Oregon?
Oregon is rapidly becoming one of the greatest manufacturing
states of the wc.it. The coast-wide and national fame of her
products grows daily.
Every dollar spent for home products increases just that much
the development of the state adds just that much to die pres
tige of "Oregon Made."
Your loyal support plus the enterprise of Oregon manufact
urers equals PROSPERITY. It's as simile as 2 24.
