W. C. An Agricultural Problem The great agricultural problem of this country is the markets. We can grow quantities and of excellent qual ity. Our soil is apparently everlasting in fertility and the water supply abundant. The crops are or can be raised economically and scientific knowledge is being introduced to aid in this matter. Hut our markets are very unsatisfactory. Associations have been formed to handle the market question in cer tain lines such as fruit, honey, etc., and men have worked at it independently, but the field has been scarcely touch ed. Look at the amount of fruit and vegetables that has gone to waste this year and also the hay that remains un sold. If the boosters of the county who have been doing a great work in bringing in settlers could solve the problem of markets so that the farmers could dispose of his produce in a profitable manner their work would be easier, in fact would be a success. The short cut to deyelopement in this country is good-marketa, Unite On Warm Springs Project "United we stand," was never practiced more opportunly or more completely than by the present delegation from Malheur County to the irrigation congress assembled at Portland.

They agreed to drop past smnitiet ami join foroei t" secure t ndorsement the Warm Spring! Reservoir project by the irrigation oongross. it was a time !r COnocrted action ami the fact that Mal heur County is represented by about fifty delegate! is am ple proof that the greater jmd has been made the common MUSS. Thil united effort ami strength ihould always he the aim of the county. If every town or community would drop its Jealousies and lelflshnesi and get into the harnesi end pull for Malheur County, a greal ohange would be ef fected, Instead of reaping the memorial of leoret plotting tor probable factorial and the like, for their own little city, they would be enjoying the pleasnrei ami proAti of the real thing if all worked together. Team work gain- more than Individual effort There aw enough thing needed in this COUnty to go around, so what is the OSS of lighting over who shall have them ami thereby putting off development.
