fieep the Demand Up by Canning
Your Surplus Products.
A word in regard to small canner
ies. In order to protect the market
iuring fruit season each fruit district
or neighborhood should establish a
small plant and when the market be
gins to sag start your cannery and
can your own winter supply and some
for market. The price this year is go
ing to be higher, so says the National
Canners' Association. And there is a
good profit in canned goods, even last
year, and by doing this our home
market and the other fellow's home
market is kept up to a profitable price
so your canning plant pays you, both
ways. You can make money on the
canned goods and of the marketing1 of
the fresh fruit. Now when the mark
et is low, if you don't can your fruit
the other fellow will and sell- it back
to you at a good profit with freight
commission and hired help in a city,
and have hauled and shipped and
bruised fruit and vegetables to can,
while you can save freight commission
and use help at home at good wages
and have nice, fresh first class artic
les to put in the can that will and does
outsell the big cannery output. And
with our Equity and Union Sales Co.,
we won't have to pay a profit to the
wholesaler jobber and retailer but can
sell direct to our Equity people.
And another thing. If we can our
own fruit, where is the big commer
cial canning going to get its supply
to can?
Your editor with a few of his
neighbors, put in a small plant last
year and have had splendid success
with both fruit and vegetables and it
is a superior article compared to the
standard grades on the grocers' shelv
es, and we are selling our goods at a
good profit now.
Anyone can study the instructions
and go ahead as we did and have just
as good success and you can put up
anything, meat, fish, fruit and vege
tables, and have a better article than
the big cannery puts out and the con
sumers are finding it out too.
The company that manufactures
these small outfits up to ten thous
and cans per day will make any
Equity member or members a . good
discount from their regular prices and
they have sent me a lot of their ad
vertising matter to distribute. If you
are interested write to P. W. Mere
dith, Oregon City, Oregon.
MORE MARKETS LESS CROPS
Meredith Says the O. A C. is Working
From the Wrong End.
Editor Courier:
Your paper deserves and has duly
earned its increasing patronage and
there is nothing that so enlivens its
columns as open discussion of vital
questions of the day. Now comes one,
W. W. Harris who is still on the con
servative list in regard to our state
Agricultural College and the humor
ous part of his letter is that he could
not himself refrain from telling of its
sins off omission.
And I will ask: what good has the
0. A. C. done W. W. Harris? Suppose
we acknowledge that the college has
taught us to raise double the amount
of potatoes that we can sell at a prof
it, we will have to acknowledge that
it has been a financial loss on the
spud deal.
"It is not the amount of money the
0. A.C. wants" as there is no end to
their wants but the amount they make
the farmer, which is 000,000,000,000.
Yes, our state college is very much
in favor of co-operating with the leg
islature to put a half million dollar
tax on us farmers for helping us ruin
our potatoe market and also all other
markets. And in some states lobbying
is a crime.
Now, Mr. Harris, what does it cost
the tax payers of Oregon to graduate
a student at our O. A. C. and what per
cent use is their knowledge in success
ful agricultural pursuits ? Now we are
to have extension of our O. A. C. This
demonstration farm has always been
a failure. The fundamental scheme is
wrong, and this is known by the
Profs, themselves. You know as well
as I do that these professors or stu
dents are no better farmers than the
wholly practical man.
We farmers have demonstrated to
the world that we can raise enough to
glut all the markets in the U. S. be
yond a profitable price and if all our
O. A. C. can teach us is to raise more
it would pay us to liire them to close
their doors and take a vacation for a
century or so.
We are not producing as much per
acre now as we did years ago. Under
the teachings of our agricultural col
leges our land is running down, so are
our pocketbooks.
No one can dispute the fact that we
farmers could raise double or even
treble what we now produce, but we
know that if we raise double we could
not sell it at all. Anff we also know
that when we have a very poor crop
year the price goes up until the crop
brings more than a big one and we
then realize a profit. AH this being
true, why tax ourselves to keep up an
institution that teaches a system di
rectly opposite?

A Cold, LaGrippe, then Pneumonia.
It is too often the fatal sequence.
LaGrippe coughs hang on, weaken the
system, and lower the vital resistance.
R. G. Collins, Postmaster, Barnegat,
N. J. says: "I was troubled with a
severe LaGrippe cough which com
pletely exhausted me. Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound soon stopped the
coughing spells entirely. It can't be
best." For sale by Huntley Bros. Co.

The Equity and the Courier are

A bran new president in Washing
ton but the same old crowd on Front
street.
We Equity Farmers are not wor
ried very much about the income
tax.
We hope in four years under good
old Democrat rule that we Equity
farmers will have an income big
enough to tax.
If it is forced to a showdown who
shall sit in the courthouse, Judge
Beatie or the farmers, how do you
think it will come out?
The problem of making money
from the farm is up to the farmers as
the 0. A. C. and the trusts have all
ready solved it to suit them.
The reason Bob, the Bridge Builder
tried to head off that Bunch of hay
seeds from the court room might have
been that he was holding the room
for some corporation director's meet

The report goes out that the Equity
State Meeting was lost on account
of some technicality but we wish to
inform the reader that it was the one
who started that story that was lost.
He should subscribe for the Courier
The North Carolina Agricultural
College is out of the old rut and so
is the Illinois College. The Kansas
Wisconsin schools are coming out
fine but the Equity will have to help
the 0. A. C, they are in so deep.
The Equity passed a resolution at
the state meeting in favor of a phys
ical valuation of the . railroads and
running the stock through a wringer.
Senator LaFollette is and has been in
favor of this, but the Republican
party sat down on him, walked on him
and ran the steam roller over him last
fall. But the other day they adopted
his plan in the senate and made him
their leader in the U. S. Senate.
The Bible says "The stone the build
ers rejected became the head stone of
the comer."
Some of the Equity members think
that we should not take any part in
politics. I suppose we should contin
ue to let the thousand and twenty
trusts say who shall be our judges and
who shall go to the Legislature and
what laws they shall make and how
much they will tax us for their bene
fit. -
I suppose it would suit them to live
on skimmed milk all their lives, if the
trusts would promise them a small
bowl of cream in the next world.
Your farmer editor has done his
best to give you an Equity page of
Equity matter and as you know we
get nothing for this work and maybe
we are getting all It Is worth, but it
is the time of year for your editor
to look out for Mollie and the babies,
and if your Equity page should come
to you blank it will .be because the
editor is competing with the Chinese
and Italians selling cabbage plants
arid trying to make an honest living
and a big profit for the trusts. Can't
you help edit some ?
Our directors have gone slowly ov
er all the details and feel that the
time has come to make a start
We all have confidence in our di
rectors and they, will proceed with
as good judgement as we could, and
if success should be slow in coming
it would be on account of present
trade conditions and if the trsuts have
everything tied up, the quicker we
know it the better.
Push the Sales Co; it is on just
principles and ought to win.
Our directors of the Union Sales
Co.. have been doing some good work
and the consumers of Portland are
with us. It looks like the undertaking
will be a booming success from the
start.
Now in order to get our business
started the capital has been cut down
and we should make an effort to raise
the amount at our next meeting of
the locals and get to grinding. We
could use it now if we had it.

March 15th with all the officers and

Join With the Consumers and Help
Cut Out the Useless Profit.
At the meeting of the hotel and
restaurant proprietors in New York
in January, the president of the or
ganization said: "We're paying the
middleman too mucn, when it's plain
we shouldn't be paying them a cent.
I have a proposition. Let us a form a
corporation of restaurant proprietors
each paying a share of $5,000. As a
corporation we could purchase us our
own supplies at wholesale prices, sell
them at a nominal profit and thus al
allow each member to realize a re
turn from his investment. We can ob
tain prcies at 50 per cent below those
we are paying now."
It is maintained that a thousand
members can be enlisted in this or
ganization, which would mean the
largest body of food buyers in the
world.
We have been saying much about
co-operation among farmers. Here is
co-operation at the other end of the
line. We are assured there is much
enthusiasm among the men committed
to the new proposition. Its importance
is in showing the really marvelous ad
vance we are making in connecting
the producing and consuming inter
ests. This will not all be done at once.
It must be through processes of ex
perience and there will be many
failures; but in the final showing we
will have the farms and the hotels
and all the other food consumers in
direct negotiation and operation.
The point is that the hotel men have
commenced" to move, and they are
past masters in system and organiz
ation. Wise farmers will watch their
work and do something to meet it.
And not only should the farmers but
the consumers others than those run
ning hotels and restaurants will do
well to watch the results and pattern
after the plan if it works out well, as
we believe it will.

A STORY A MORAL
Written to Make You Equity People
Play Ball.
Here is a little story an Equity man
told the Courier. He is a farmer in
Clackamas County. He has been up
against the hooks and is now spending
his time and money trying to get the
farmers to hang together and fight
the robbers.
He shipped 76 boxes of fine pears
to Portland producers. He selected
the fruit and wrapped each pear.
HE GOT PAID FOR ONE BOX.
He was advised that the fruit did
not sell, that it got over-ripe and that
it was dumped.
He went to Portland and made a
little investigation on his own account.
He found his boxes and discovered
that the pears had been dumped, but
that they had been dumped near a
canning or preserving concern.
Then he looked around for legal re
dress, for some means to recover that
which he had been robbed of.
He found the means, and he also
found that the means would cost him
more than the value of his fruit; that
he would have to fight all Front
street and that in the end he
would be yet a deeper looser.
So he did lust what the commission
men expected he would do if they
were caught with the goods on he
quit and let them keep the loot, and
it was a warning to him not to try
shipping on his own account, but to
wait for the middle men to come to
him and take what they offered.
Now let us suppose there was an
Equity Society of two thousand men
standing behind this fruit raiser. Do
you think for a minute Front Street
would have dared to pull off this day
light robbery?
This incident is written for the pur
pose of showing the urgent need of
the farmers for co-operation and
fighting each others' battles.
Once thoroughly united and having
a system of distribution of produce,
the Colton farmer would not have to
turn his hogs in to dig his potatoes
because they are not worth the time
of a man to dig them.
There are many different ideas as
to the best means to make the Equity
Society effective and protective, but
certain it is that the farmers are fully
alive to the fact they MUST organize
and co-operate if they are to stay in
the game, andout of all the discussion
and work will come a definite plan
later on and a course of procedure .
that will work out for their good.
And in the mean time STICK and
work. Remember that simply passing
resolutions in your local isn't of any
more effect than feeding a hungry
elephant an oyster cracker. When you
have decided on a move, an dpass
ed a resolution to that effect, then see
that there is something more comes
of it than having the stcretary re
cord it on the minutes. Get behind
that resolution and SEE THAT IT
GOES.
The only way to make the outside
consider you is to MAKE YOURSELF
FELT.

A Message to Railroad Men.
E. S. Bacon, 11 Bast St., Bath, Me.,
sends out this warning to railroaders
everywhere. "My work as conductor
caused a chronic inflamation of the
kidneys and I wa miserable and all

taking Foley's Kidney Pills I began
to regain my strength and I am better
now than I have been for twenty

A Farmer for Govenror Perish the
Thought! Kill the Movement.
Brother Lewis of Maple Lane is a
hard worker and we suppose he has
over done or he might have been read
ing the Courier, at least we fear for
his mental equilibrium. He wants a
Granger for Governor.
Now there is probably a state in
the Union that ha sstooped so low or
so disgraced itself as to let a hayseed
sit in the Governor's chair. I doubt if
any of our great statesmen of late
ever mentioned any such absurd idea
as this.
Why, a farmer don't know any more
about law than a lawyer knows about
farming and just think, before we
could tax the people a million dollars
for Eugene and Corvallis a Rube Hay
seed would have to sign the bill and
that is not all ; j'he would have to ap
point so many 'high salaried inspect
ors and it would be just like a clod
hopping farmer to appoint some of
his brother ranchers to look after
some oi these iood dealers and hat
certainly would disturb business. It
would be just like a farmer to put
our frog pond militia building roads
or fighting forest fires and you all
know that would take the crease out
of their pants and soil the gold braid
on their uniforms. L. L. Pickens
would never consent to anything of
this kind.
Why, a farmer would no doubt in
sist . on assessing and taxing the
trusts and corporations and that
might drive their watered stock from
the state.
Any hay-seed governor might sign
an eight hour law and our mill work
ers would be loafing around our new
library or might dirty up some of the
church pews. .
He might stop lobbying with our
Legislature and throw hundreds of
well dressed, respectable lawyers out
of employment and we would have to
establish soup houses for them instead
of for our common laborers. And what
kind of a supreme court do you sup
pose a farmer could make ?
A gvernor down in Arkansas turn ed
all the convicts loose to keep them
from being worked to death by the
contractors and an Oregon governor
might fill our pen full of Front street
crook sand make them eat some of
that food stuff that was or was not
dumped.
The M. D. Trust ought to examine
Brother Lewis and turn him over to
Judge Beatie for a few lessons on how
to treat the Hayseeds.
Our health officers must look out or
this disease brother Lewis has con
tracted by long exposure, might be
come contagious and spread all over
the State of Oregon.
O! for a hundred Charlie Shields to
come to our rescue.

Objects to County Court Appropriat
ing Money for Dcmonstrtion Farm.
Editor Courier:
I object to the resolution passed at
tha Pnnntv r.i-ano-e Meetinsr as report
ed in last week's issue asking the
County Court to appropriate funds
for a demonstration farm. And I
agree with A. J. Lewis that the larm
aiq oi-a mnrfl in need of a marketing
system for their produce instead of
being told how to grow more.
There are not many larmers in mis
community who are willing to dig up
n tovoa fnr n demonstration farm
as long as they have their bins filled
with the finest kind of potatoes that
they can't give away, or boxes filled
with good, clean apples tnat tney can i
Dn tv mni-o than nickine and pack-
net a " . ...v. i ...
ing, to say nothing about cultivating
f,o gharri nrnninir. snraving and
thinning the fruit. To my mind there
is a lot of foolishness aneni mis uem
onstration work. The problem is reli
able help at a wage that will leave
something for horse feed and wear
and tear of tools and implements. I,
for one, am opposed to the County
Court making any appropriation for a
demonstration farm.

Local Moves to Transfer Stock to
Equity Warehouse Co., and Dis
olve Old Co.
Carus Local No. 6882 F. S. E. met
in regular posponed session in the
school house at 8 P. M. President Kel
nhofer in the chair and 20 members
out and 25 present.
Various subjects of importance
were taken up and discussed, promi
nent among which was the change in
the proposed Union Sales Co. It was
the general opinion of those present
that since our State Organization was
declared illegal by headquarters, the
action taken by the Board of Directors
of said state union regarding the' Un
ion Sales Company is also null and
void, and in consequence the following
motion was made and carried and
abided by:
Moved that the subscribers of stock
to the Union Sales Co., transfer said
stock to the Equity Warehouse Co.,
but hold certificates and money until
the majority of subscribers of stock
of Carus Local are satisfied that the
incorporation is all right and the
jjroper officials are elected and quali
fied. The general sentiment seemed to be
that the present proposed incorporat
ion be dissolved and a new incorpor
ation be proposed with the officers of
the State Union, when elected, as the
incorporators.
Nearly all members reported potat
oes for sale.
A. A. Spangler has a good milch
cow; Poland China pigs; a Jersey
heifer for sale; also a good Jersey
bull to exchange or sell.
George Bliss has a colt or two to
sell; J. R. Lewis has oats and bales
of straw to dispose of. O. W. Casto
has 500 lbs. of nice dried prunes.
Two new members were admitted to
membership and one renewal and one
new subscription to the Courier was
obtained.
Mr. Welch, of Clatskanie Local, of
Columbia County, was a visitor at our
meeting and made a short talk. He is
an enthusiastic Equity man.
Our next meeting will be held at the
