T The Oregon Manufacturer FayH, "The failure of two manufacturing establish ments at Portland and one at .Salem for lack of pupport, is nothing new." The Oregon manufacturers expect the retail merchant to sdverti-ie and nell his goods for him. He wants the Ore gon merchant to hooet the Oregon made product idea He wants tht newspapers to advocate the purchase of Ore gon rnado goods. This is all good and nice and patriotic, but what doej the Oregon manufacturer do? Does lie advertise his goods where that advertining wi'l make his merchandise known in the home? Do you ever see him advertising Oregon made Hour? Oregon made con densed milk? Oregon made chairs, beds or tables? Oregon made food stuffy, etc.? Oh, no! he wants Jones to do it, and Jones sells the good that are advertised. Is there any wonder these Oregon niamiftu'turers g broke? They are willing to spend a little money f r ma chinery clerks, drummers, etc., but thev tvant their ad vertising for nothing. You write an Oregon man ufacturer for advertising in your paper and you receive n reply that at the present time they "are not using newspa per space," that their "busi ness is such I hey cannot now affoid it;" that their "adver tising fund is exhausted;" or that their "contracts have all hern let for the present sen. on." Then I hv expect the gro eery man, the furniture man and the hardware man to boost their commodity. So long as the ( Iregou manufac turer does not advertise, just hit long the Oregon news paper should refuse to chain pion his cause am the tiler clnnt win boosts hU goods is just wasting his energy. As an experiment the ,M,mi it r wrote over 50 "Oregon manufacturers" regard i ng i d vertising, and if every newspaper man itt Oregon would do likewise and get the same results wo did, wi do not hesitate to say that t! e Oregon manufacturers w mid g''t little less than no support in their present "Oregon made goods propa ganda plan." If the manufacturers ex pect a thousand dollars worth of free adveitising space they should pay atleat U) percent of the cost of it, and if tly don't, muiv will Undtr the Act of March 3, 1879. $1.50 Strictly in Advance Friday, June 27, 1913 20 cents 50 cents 40 cents $5.00 $10.00 $1.00 probably follow the course of tlia two in I'ortlan I and the oiih iii Salem mentioned by the Oregon .Manufacturer, as above stated. THE PANAMA CANAL The effect of the comple tion of the Pun:' ma canal on the Pacific coast trade will be far-reaching. Products of the soil can be moved much cheaper by water than by train, and the trado of .he Atlantic coast and the South Amerioin republics on that coa-t will he t tade much more accessible to the Pacific coast, and the transpo tation of such products would be much cheaper. Oregon, Washington and California will receive the most direct benefit, as the products of these states are practically at the sea coast for shipment. With the building of the Central Oregon railroads to the coast, the matter of de livering at. the seaboard is practically easy and inex pen.-ive. The Willamette Valley section is already at the market iloor. The farmer who systemat ically till.- his toil, raises good shipping and money producing crops cannot fail to benefit. It will pay the farmer to stud) well his sojl and the market tendency on all crops. From this he can gather the best idea of what to grow and w here to grow it. THE COUNTY FAIR Independence bids for the co mty fair mainly on account of her location ai d accessi bility to all sections of the county. The county, fair is not asked b cause Independ ence is a racing center, al though we have never seen a real successful fair in the West where racing was not feature. From an agricul tural standp tint Independ ence is well situated. She is a dairy center a hop cen ter a line stock center and a blooded horse center. She is well located as an eduea ti.tnal center, while as a cen ter of population there ra diates around her a larger uui more t h ickly settled pop dation than any oity in the comity can claim. The U. S. Senate probe' uted to discuss the matter of the sugar trust purchasing newspapers, subsidizing sup posed reputable news sen ices, and also congressmen this week. The extent of the mi l(h v tru-t's work is not fnllv I Allow n and the cast in in volv-! mg unite an arrnv of promi nent people. Saturday u Formers Union Day in Independence and a big welcome should be ex tended to the people from the surrounding tenitory who will be here that day. This is the first co-operative move ment ever made between the business men and farmer of thii count' and the results will eee no bounds if they co operate together and work harmoniously for the best interests of all. Commercial Clubs and Grange organiza tions will have representa tives here to meet with the farmers and business men, and they will formulate im poitiint plans for t he duvelop mn.'t of thin section which rttjuirt) a strong central zed organization backed U it united fanning community.

SILAGE FOfT'BEEF CATTLE FEEDING Attention has frequently been called to the fact that the cattle feeder grots his largest profit net directly fnm feeding upeinlleim, but rattier from tlie Increased productiveness uf his land, says the lo.vn IIoineKtend. Hut the average man likes to see a profit on every lir.iiuh of tils operations. Un less live stock fanning can tie carried on so tliat liy and for Itself It pn.vs well for tlie time occupied In carrying it on. then no amount of screaming from the house top will ever make the live stock Industry take permanent root on the farms of the corn belt. One of the experiment stations re cently Mulshed np n bunch of steers that were fed shelled corn, cottonseed Admirer of Hereford cattle af firm Unit ns rustlers they are un niuah'il. They will no farther for a lilie to eat or a drink of water than any other breed. Hercfords will (lml nnd consume more waste feed on a farm than any of the thin skinned breeds. HerefonJs ure the hest feeders and will make mure pounds of kuIii for feed con sumed Hum other cattle. They are unexcelled In beef type and have plenty of Bciile. Komi bene, a blocky conformation. nood ribs, heavy quarters ami thick loins. The Here ford cow pictured wna a prize win ner at ChlciiBo lust fall. meal and clover hay. These steers were purchased at $:i.o5 ur hundred pounds, and they were sold for $S.'J5, but In spile of this good sprend In value tlie net profit per steer was 13. XT. It cost $14.o.'l to make a hundred pounds of gain on these steels, com puting the feed at regular market prlo's. In an adjoining feed lot a similar number of steers were fed the same length of time, but In this case corn silage was used In place of clover hay. These steers were Ismght at the same price namely, J.Y.Vi ier hundred IHiunds and they sold 10 cents per pound higher than the steers fed on hay, or for $S.:i. per hundred pounds. Their gains were made at a cost of J'.i.SH per hundred pounds, and the net prollt per stivr In this case wns f'JO.OtL These results are worth (tendering over by those who proHse to fotlotv along the same old fashioned route tn feeding cattle The cheap gains tn this case were due to the fact that a glveu acreage produces n larger amount of good fattening food In tlie form of en silage than can Is? produced tn any other way. The man who tries to finish cattle on dry feed nlone must In the future compete with those who take this short cut to cheap gains. There e:ui be only one outcome of a situation like this namely, that the practice of those who use the cheapest meat mak ing foods will rx the basis of cost In the future Those who cannot bring the cost down to this minimum point by the use of ttiis comparatively lnex vasie food will be eliminated from the business or they must continue to carry It on at a loss, relying wholly for tlielr ptvtit ui't the otTect of feeding operations on the productiveness of their laud As said before, this profit will not suilhe in the case of the aver ace man If dry fissl cannot be fed at it profit then ipiit foiling dry feed.
