Til
Tell
the
World"
v
In spite of all your en
thusiasm over a new salad
oil or shoe or. radio bnt
tcry, you cannot possibly
pass on the good news to
more than a few people.
You enn't really "tell the
world."
The manufacturer himself
in the same fix. Me
can't tell the world. His
salesmen can't. His deal
ers can't. And the world
ought to be told. It wants
to know. It wants to know
what's new, what's not.
only good, but better
than the best; or cheaper;
or more durable; or more
UBcful; or just plain more
fun.
Advertising "tells the
world" today. Back of
rvcry advertisement is
somebody, perhaps n
whole Rroup of some
bodies, full of enthusiasm
just as you are when you
discover something thot
makes things easier or
better for you. They are
telling just os many peo
ple as they can reach in
the world in person. But
that is only a tiny fraction
of those they speak to in
advertising.
Advertisements are truly
personal things to the
people who write them.
And they can be exceed
ingly personal for you,
too, for they mean better
food, better clothing, in
creased health, a happier
home, greater prosperity.

TRANSIT RATE

TURKEYS ASKED

L. Ft. Rrcitliuupl assisted in the c-x
umlnation.
The UK ! tins resolved ltc(
largely into un Informal diseui
hlon, whh-h proved very llHercst
lug and instructive.
Industry Growing
One of the outstanding farts de
veloped was that there Is a rapid
growth of the turkey Industry lu
prospect. Kuch of the counties re
ported u material Increase this
year over lust year, with a con
stantly growing Interest In turkey
production.
lano county, according to the
statements made hv (!oiinlv Ai?ent
i Fletcher, will have from la.ouu to
10,000 birds for Ihn market this
year, or nearly twice as many us
last year.
Douglas county will have about
7G.000 turkeys-this yeur, ns com
pared with (10,000 last year, accord
ing to the estlinnte made by Coun
ty Agent. Leedy.- -
Josephine county will have
about 8,000 or 11,000 birds tills yeur
Instead of 0,000 as Inst year,
County Agent Howell said.
Jackson county has Increased
from 10,000 turkeys to 20,000, It
was reported by County Agent
Fowler.
In each of these counties, It was
stated, the loading in transit privi
lege would bo of great aid to the
producers.
Tho growers aro asking that the
loading in transit ruling he made
applicable to all loading points
south of Junction City, and that it
lie put Into errnct October 1. This
ruling, it granted, would mean
that a cur could ho partially load
ed at one point and could C.i n be
moved to I be next station to com
plete the load, thereby eliminating
the necessity of shipping a par
tially filled car nt full car rates, or
else doing away with assembling
the turkeys ut one central point by
motor truck. Tho rullroad com
pany would be entitled to mnko a
charge for moving the car from
one point to another. Such rates
are already In effect In other lo
calities nerved by other railroads
but have never been granted by
the Southern Pacific in this sec
tion of I lie stnto.
Would Encourage Grower
Tn commenting upon the reason
why tho growors hud requested
this privilege, Mr. Huntington
stated that It was felt that such a
policy would not only servo to in
crease the returns to the growers,
but would nlso stlmulnte and en-
courago tho Industry and would
bonefit the rallrond comnnnv as
well as tho growors because of
the additional tdnnngo, Hint would
be created.
Tho Douglas Countv Tnrkov
Growers Association, he explained,
has been formed ehleflv as a
sales ugency, but II, him other pur
poses as well, tho organization
having been effected for the pur
poso of working for the Interests
of tho producers in any possible
way. Tho articles of lucorporutioni
not only provldo for n marketing
organization, but for many other
operations as well, so that tho
producers may purchase supplies
on a cooperative basis or may
cvon onlor Into tho business of
canning If desired. Because of tho
purposes for which it was organ
ized, Mr. Huntington until, it cimio
within the province of tho organi
zation lo apply for nny tariff rul
ing that might bo found beneficial
to tho industry.
lie called ntteu on to the fuel
that thousands or pounds uf tur
keys aro taken out of tho countv
each yenr In auto trucks because
of the fact that shipments must,
under tho present ruling, bo made
only lu carload lots from each
loading point, lieciuiso of this fact.
bo stated, ninny small growors
havo been trucking tlielr turkeys
ui various points betwen Snn
Krnnclsco and Health', when If It
had been possible to have loaded
a car at tho several stations In the
county mo growers would have
preferred to send out tlielr birds
in rerrigorator cars where
there
hand-i
was leas danger of loss In

Another Imporlnnt fnelur. hn
slated, is that of making early

and It would he necessary to move
me cur from point to point until
inn car could lie obtained: If
this could bo arranged then sever-
rarlonils could bo moved abend

with benefits to all concerned, for

R. H. Position Explained
speaking on behalf of the mil
oad company, and describing his
own pas h ion, Mr. I.aflerly, South-
rn Pacific Industrial AbimiI. ren.
resenting the rallrond company,
slated timf ne was neither for iwr
"gainst the proposed chance, andirnliv.
nm ue was present enilrntv ii,i-
tho purpose of acrurlllir lllfmmn.
Hon upon which he might prepare
a report which would clearly set
forth the matters to he considered.
in aiaieii mat Mr. Mil c hnv. the
head of the traffic department,
had experted to be nre-ent. hot
hat becnuso of Hie rross-cnuntrv
railroad hearing being conducted
in Portland it was impossible Tor
lilm to bo present, and he con
veyed the regrets of his chief at
being unable to attend. He stated
that the Southern Pacific company
is anxious to cooperate with tfi
producers In every possible way lu
order that additional tonnage may
be developed.
"The Southern Pacific Company
lias-too many eggs In one basket,"
Mr. I.afferly said. "We find that
i 'hree fourths of our total tonnage
In Oregon comes from limber pro
ducts; that Is. lumber, logs, und
allied products of (he foreals. Agri
culture and various other indus-li-lea
supply only one-fourth of Die
tonnage, 'ibis Is not an equal di
vision and is not the condition we
hope to see in the future, us it is
our desire to have ttie tonnage di
vided among many lines of Indus
try, bo that all of our business
does not necessarily com,o from
one source. We are, therefore,
anxious and willing to cooperate
with producers, wherever such co
operation can be of benefit in in
creasing and expanding the indus
try and where the operation of our
lines Is not made more difficult,
Ho stated that be could not
promise that any change in ruling
would be made, und that be could
only gather tho facts upon which
the problem should bo given cure
fill consideration.
Needs Discussed
The need for the loading in
transit privilege resulted in
great deal of discussion.
it wus shown that ttie privilege
Is needed more in the adjoining
luumieH mini in jJouglUH county,
despite the Btrong demand for it
here.
"In Lane county," County Agent
r letcher suld, "we would be ma
terially benefited by this change.
Our growers for the greater purt
have only small flucks. Under the
present system it is practically
necessary for them lo kill all of
their turkeys at one time, regnrd
loss of whether or not they are
ready for the market. T,hey must
make up their shipments in car
load lots, all to be loaded at one
place, and therefore must kill off
all of tlu-fr birds. If the cars could
be louded at several different
places, then the growers would
only have to kill the birds that
wore ready for market und would
thereby obtain higher prices nnd
we would Lo able to build up a bet
ter reputation for our turkeys.
There would he a far greater
profit In turkey raising for our
growers If they didn't have to
hurry lo 'catch the wagon,' and
the rosult would bo that turkey
raising would become more profit
able and would increase"
This statement led to a discus
sion of the difference in price be
tween No. 1 and No. 2 birds, and it
wbb shown that this difference In
price Is all tho way from 6 to 15
cents per pound. If the loading in
transit privilege would lend to ii
greater percentage of No. 1 birds
being sold during Hie season,
through the holding back of No. 2
turkeys until Hiey had matured,
then llioro would be a tremendous
saving to tlie growers as n result,
it wus shown.
lu discussing Douglns county!
shlpmnnls County Agent heudy
staled that nt present turkeys aro
loaded ouly at Yoncalla, Oakland,
Hoseburg and occasionally Myrtle
Creek. Should tho londlng In trau-
sl privilege bo granted It would
result lu (Jlcndnlo, Hiddle and
Drain being added to the list,
Drain, particularly being benefit
ed, becnuso ninny of tho Elkton
birds would ho shipped from Hint
point Instead of frum Yoncalla.
Tho Iilkton district would bo
greatly helped by the change, ho
said, us the growers could haul to
Oakland, Yoncalla, or Drain, wher
ever most convenient.
lln estimated that during tho
coining season Clendale could loud
.1,000 turkoys, ItldiTlo 4,000. Myrtle
Creek C000, Hoseburg 15,000, Oak
land 20,000, Yoncalla 15,000 nnd
Drain 10,000.
Tho fact was brought out Hint
each of tlieso points might load
one or two enrs nnd a fraction
over. This, under the present
practice, would make it necessnry
lo truck tho birds to some other
point for loading, resulting In con
siderable expense ill transporta
tion and loss because of excessive
handling. Tho assembling chnrgo
Is taxed to the grower, therefore
reducing his profit.
Willi tho loading in trnuslt privi
lege lu operation, It would he pos
sible. It wns shown, to gather up
the fraction ut each loading point
to complete n cnrlot shipment.
Benefit Association
The benefit of this new privi
lege In assisting the association
was clearly expressed. It was
stated that the association ex
pects to handle considerably more
than one-half the crop this year.
The turkeys will be sold In lots of
desired size to Hie highest bid
ders. If the bidders know that
tlioy do not have to pay trucking
charges In assembling tho turkeys,
then the growers will receive the
benefit In higher offers. It will
nlso be true Hint the members
will dump their birds upon the as
sociation for sale. It Is therefore
necessary that the association be
In n position to sell them.
l'rivate buyers, under the pres
ent system, buy In carload lots. A
buyer purchases one, two or three
carloads. When ho hns enough to
fill a car ho milts, nnd the grower
must, skirmish around to find
sonio place to dispose of his tur
keys. Iluyers must be rnroful not
to bnve fractional carloads left
upon their hands and consequent
ly often take advantage of tills
slilunllon to manipulate the price.
- The loading lu transit privilege
will. solve the fractional carload
problem nnd will enable llie asso
ciation nud Individual buyers to
thin ti,..
turkeys without dltfl-
It will also reduce the express
and auto truck shipments through
the ability to gather up full
"reefer" ear lots at various ship
ping points.
Organization Need Shown
One of the benefits of organisa
tion was shown In an answer lo n
question asked by the railroad
representative.

matlon regarding changes In ship-
plug, called attention to tbe fact I

had been so satisfactory In tho
past Hint the freight business had
been constantly increasing, that
there should now be a sudden de
nisnd for the loading in transit
privilege.
"It Is not a sudden demand," Mr.
Huntington .said In answer. "It la

many years that the turkev Indus.
