"Ths great problem facing this state la not bo much the problem of eco- nomlo production as it is that of eco nomla distribution." said Dr. James Wlthycomb. a director of the Oregon experiment station at Co rvalue, before the annual convention of the Oregon Dairymen's association, which Is hold- ins; Its closing- session today, i :' Following: out this line of thought . til speaker deplored the prevailing .conditions wherein he said the con sumer was forced to pay exorbitant price for , necessaries of life to satisfy the demand of the middleman, who was raking in the profits. He said this ' condition made a "goat" out of both the producer and the consumer to the glory of the middleman. . The middleman was also flayed by W. K. Newell of - Gaston, Or., whose adress indicated that the dairymen and - farmers are becoming aroused over the conditions which force them to hold the little and of, the ack. 100 Per Cent Profit, "The farmer has not had Ms full share of the rewards coming from his toll," said Ur. Wltbycombe. "There is something wrong when the farmer raises chickens and sells them to the middleman for SO cents and the middle man sells them for fl a 100 per cent profit for a day's handling. "1 say there is something wrong with a condition like this. The farmers should get better organized. They should study to lessen the cost of their . products from the time they leave their hands until they reach the consumer. - "While 1 was In the east I heard that . the law compelling the branding of tub butter was declared unconstitutional. -If that law Is unconstltuional; then it is for us to get busy and pass a law that is constitutional. . Portland sales Cited. "The man . who sells tub butter for fresh country butter Is a thief. He is robbing both the producer and the con sumer." The law referred' to fty the speaker was passed by the last legislature and was recently, declared unconstitutional by Judge Morrow. -. When W. K. Newell went after the conditions which permit the middleman to reoeive a big end of the profits from farm products, he cited the case of milk sales In Portland.' He sa,id the producer gets Only about SO per cent of the retail price paid for milk in this city. At this morning's session an excellent address was made by F. H. Scribner of Rosendale, Wis., whose subject was, -Test Association Work." He explained in detail the great benefits' to be de rived by the dairyman if he wilt keep accurate tests of the quantity and qual ity of the milk produced by each ,cow and of the cost of feeding .the animal. He told of the benefit of having a herd: or only thoroughbred; cows, and of liow to treat .them. V" f 'vs. ' '' ' -t Officers Elected.'? j ; "Get good stockv feed them right, keep records, and you need rinit be afraid of the dairy business not paying," he said. Many of the dairymen took part in the discussion that, followed this address, . and asked scores of questions about test association work. , . V Arthur T. Buxton, secretary of the Washing, ton County Cooperative.
