ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW Issued Daily Except Sunday Yl-mler of Th The Associated I'r-.s la eJd. - liiHlv. cation of all newi) (Jihi;it ht-a cr tliK ii to it or not olherwine credited in I tin paper and to nil loi-;il ii. wh nuiilixluxi herein.

This is the re mark of a man who has a flock of hens on his ranch and knows what he is talking about. Asked for details, this farmer explained his statement in these simple clear cut terms: "In this county a farmer can take a flock of 800 to 1000 hens and clear 9100 a month net, and without hiring ex tra help. You see, by the term 'net,' I mean that the living for the family could easily be made by ordinary farming and the cash income from the hens is just so much extra money." Overly enthusiastic you say at once. Possibly so and yet an investigation of the facts reveals that the man who made the statement quoted above is doing just exactly what he says can be done. Why, if this is true, is not every farmer in the county laying away a hundred or so dollars every month that have been produced by his flock of hens? A natural question with perhaps as many answers as there are farmers. One of the most likely answers to this question, however, is that poultry raising requires experience and skill. Many men, reading such statements as quoted in the first paragraph, have rush ed pell meil into the poultry business, and many have been disappointed. Hopes blasted, they have blamed everything in sight thus discouraging able poultrymen from going ahead. The fact still remains, clear and sound, that there are many farmers in this county doing just what the man quoted says he is doing and more. The "over-production" bogy has to put in its appearance in any discussion of farm problems. Over-production is usually just another and less critical way of saying under marketing. There are several good reasons why we are not at all likely, here in Douglas county, to so stimulate egg production as to cause distress of the market duo to over production. The principal reason, that this is true, aided of course b.v natural advantages is cooperation- coopera tive marketing that functions successfully every day in the year and year in and year out. The Pacific Cooperative Poul try Producers organization is one of the most successful mar keting organizations in the entire United Stales. It is sound financially, ably managed and sound in principle. Support of this market organization by local egg producers will, in a reasonably short time, mean the establishment of an egg packing plant in Itoseburg, henco a saving of twenty cents a crate on shipping charges. " Here are some facts pertaining to the establishment of a packing plant: The requirements of the association are that there be 100,000 hens in a district signed up in the as sociation before a packing plant can be established. A ra cent survey reveals that there are more than 100,000 hens in this territory. The difficulty that prevents the estab lishment of a packing plant is that not quite the required number aro signed up. Without the co-op the egg market would be in a chaotic ci'.dition. With it the market is steady and sure and the industry profitable. The natural and sens ible thing to do is to give belter support to the association and be rewarded by having a packing plant close by, and by making a saving on shipping costs. POEM FOR THE DAY By I.OUIS ALUIRT BANKS IDEAS ARE BETTER THAN FISTS "Bishop Francis J. McConnell has a story he tells with rel ish. Me snys that he wns.Htnnding on the streets of Shanghai and saw two Chinese coolies shouting at each other, their tftises but two inches apart. Behind each disputant was a crowd of spec tators. 'What is this' asked the bishop; he was told that n Chi nese fight was on. 'A Chinese riKhtl' he exclaimed; 'I've been here five minutes nnd nobody has hit anyone.' 'You don't un derstand." was the reply. 'In a Chinese fight the man that strikes first indicates thereby that his ideas have given out'." Central Christian Advocate. ' I think the Chinaman is right Who, when he's challenged to a fight. First meets his foe with brilliant thought And seeks to set his cause at naught; '" And not until each idea's used, And every chance of pein e refused, Does he resort to vulgar force And then as only last resource. I'd like to see our own home boys Precede their pugilistic joys With battles of their growing minds Before they tiy more brutal kinds "I would be a spur to eloquence If brave and btainy innocense bhould win the banner liom the brute; "I would yield a rich scholastic fruit. And'lhen there ate some grown up men Who think this hie n rude bull pen; 1 hey grunt and stamp and shake the horn. And on the decent heap their scorn. If first they met with sober thought. They'd quickly find that llirv were caugiit. And many a quiet, gentle soul Would rise into the victor's role. For, after all. 'tis cultured biains That help us on to world-wale gains.
