Editor News: In a recent num ber of The News. Mr. Axtell, of Grants Pass, had an Interview in, which he advises the farmers ot Duuglus county to arise more pro duce. While the. farmers oil this section may make money raising general crops, It is a notorious fact that In Douglas county It does not pay ir.e average farmer to raise :ny thlng of that nature except for his own consumption, because of the tact mat there is no local market for such edibles. If Itosoburg had a commission house where such produce couiu ue nanuied for the Portland market and where the grower would be certnin of a fair price for his labor. 1 venture to say that Douglas comity would soon double hor pop ulation, as It Is, It is almost Im possible to dispose of produco, ex cept in very small Quantities, and then the local grocery men seem to tiiuiK tney are doing you a favor to take small truck off your hands In trade, at that. Last spring one of my neighbors took to Roseburg four sucks of green pens and was unable to dispose of more than one of them, notwithstanding the fact that two of the stores hud only a quart each on hand. The same thing Is true of spring chickens and all other small products of the farm. An other neighbor last spring took to Roseburg two sacks of early pota toes and had to give one sack away to a friend or bring It hack home. The trouble Is that the country around about Roseburg has grown faster thun the city in the hitter's ability to consume what the former can produce, and I am positive that thero will be no -material advance ment ot the country Surrounding the city until such time shall ar rive that a watting market can be assured the farmer for everything he can raise. Some where in the state there must be people who need what the Douglas county farmers can rnlse, and it Is only a (uestion of bringing the producer and consumer together, and in my notion the surest way to accomplish that object Is to Induce some commission house iu Portland to open a branch house in Rosoburg, and I think that could be done. We have hundreds of aces of bottom land which could be easily irrigated und which would grow Keautlful cel ery aB well as other crops of a like nature, Bu ; comparatively few growers cure to take the risk of ruls ing such crops and of shipping them at their own risk, but If a local mar ket was assured thein, they would undoubtedly get busy. We all know that thousands of crates of logan and other berrlos go to waste In the county on account of poor market facilities. The NewB has recently been advo cating a public market for the mu tual benefit of the producer and con sumer, and while that would to some extent create a market, In the opinion of the writer it would not materially Increase the output of produce for the section, because of the fact, as I Bald before, the local market la limited In Its capacity to consume, while there Is hurdly a limit to the'nmount of generul farm products the county could produce provided thero was a stable market where the grower was certain of obtaining cash for his labor. It seems to mo that this would he a mutter that could profitably be considered by the commercial club In lis en deavors to make Roseburg and vicin ity a commercial center. Land that iR adapted to vegetable growing is not, as a rule, the best for fruit. and there are hundreds of acreB of rich land that would bring thousands of dollars annually to the county if worked to their limit in producing garden truck for the outside market.
