A WORD FOR THE FARMER. TT HAS become the custom of certaiu flippant smart- Alecs, both journalistic, remittance and otherwise, to poke fun at the old timer, tho farmer and tho homesteader, to caricature his careworn face and his "whiskers, to exag gerate his uncouth and sometimes ungrammatioal dialect, and to ridicule his homely garb. He is often unjustly la beled "mossback," and certain newspapers make it a prac tice to issue in their alleged funny sections, a page from the "Brigville Bugle," or some such mythical sheet, a take-off on the farmer a mighty feeble substitute for wit. The farmer is a producer, and plays the most important role in the social fabric. Most of his traducers are para sites, who live off his efforts who noither sow nor reap, neither toil nor spin and, unlike the lily, are not oven fair to look upon, but live by grafting the producers. No state owes more to its pioneers than Oregon, and none should hold them in higher esteem. They are not moss backs a mossback is the synonym of tho improgressive aud naught but the most progressive dared the dangers of the wilderness none today but the progressive leave the monotony of the humdrum village or city life to cre ate a home in the isolated wilderness. The pioneers made possible the development of today, and many of them will be found working shoulder to shoulder with the newcom ers for the greater development of tomorrow. Because a man wears whiskers, does not make him a mossback neither does the fact that he does not wear smart clothes. A man's occupation causes him to adopt the most practical methods, and often renders dress pa rade impossible. There are more smooth faced tight-wads and mossbacks than are whiskered ones, and age was nev er a bar to progress.

Jack Johnson has scared his man cacers half to death by entering for :aa auto race Sunday but they seem e have little to' say. The Dalles, as a pattern-setter for Xood fellowship, sent over one hun gered of its leading citizens, accom apaaled by a brass band, to a meeting at Hosier. In selecting Charles TT. "Wilmeroth as manager the Rogue River Eruit and Produce association has evidently made a good start. He is an experienced commission man and for many years familiar with the marketing and sale of fruit in eastern markets. One thing only remains to make the new exchange the most powerful factor for prosperity in the valley and the best guarantee of an orchard's being a profit producer, and that is the co-operation of every grower in it. Other fruit districts have learned by bitter experience the value of co-operation, and so have local growers, who have been at the mercy of commission men. They might secure good prices, or they might not. It is to eliminate the gamble that the association has been organized, thus assuring the small producer as fair a show as the large one. The association will assure uniform pack and scientific marketing, and investments in orchard property are far more secure than they were. Ifsome means can be devised for permanently retaining Professor O'Gara, and they should be by all means, this region will offer more inducements to the orchard investor than any section in America.
