By P. R. SteeL Grant Pass, Or, April 6. The pro gressive trend of agricultural matters In Oregon was wall Illustrated daring the last month by the work accom plished by the county agricultural agent, C D. Thompson of Josephine county", and the Josephine County Ag ricultural council. As is pretty thor oughly understood now, the county agent la the Joint representative of the agricultural college and the United States department of agriculture in each county In which th system Is in operation. The agrioultural council is the advisory body which worka with th county -agent to get the most pos sible' results out of this cooperative effort. Th council is oompoaed of one representative from th Chamber of Commerce th oounty court and each agricultural organization In the county, together with three represen tatives chosen at large In th county. Meetings of this body are held one a month In Grants Pass, th principal city of Josephine oounty. A Bbnpls man, fos Boonoxny. Much haa been said and written ot late about rural organisation and co operation ; .and th work actually be ing accomplished by this Josephine oounty council 'and county agent Is doing much to bring facts out of mere theory. A cooperative grain buying agency has been started, for Instsnrt. which Is ' enabling the stockmen and poultrymen who have taken advantage of It to save from $14 to $18 per ton on th grain they have to buy now. Th plan' by which this tremendous sav ing is made Is extremely simple. At harvest time each individual farmer who wishes to take advantage ot the plan bands la a budget of the total amount of grain Tie will need to buy during . the year, and arranges with tha bank to loan him sufficient money which may enable him to buy this grain, giving the bank : his not for the amount, secured, by th grain as collateral. ' Great , Kelp to Industry. The commute In charge has leased a warehouse and when the orders are put in they are pooled and th grain wanted purchased and put in the crop warehouse. Because of three faotors. (1) buying in large Quantities; (2) buying at harvest season, and (I) buying tor cash, this crop committee Is enabled to get very low prioe on this grain. As .each Individual stock man or dairyman or poultry man needs the grain he comes Into Grants Pass and gets It In ton lots,' paying cash for It to th bank from which he got th loan to cover its cost. This re tires during the year the bank .loans, and only th Interest at th barxk and th smallcfcharges for storage and in surance costs ar added to th origi nal low price . of th grain.. It has been found to mean th difference be tween profit and loss In th livestock and poultry business-. In Josephine county ana eisewner. ; . . . A substantial movement for perma nent county fair grounds is another work being pushed by the Josephine County Agricultural council. An act- lve and effective campaign for the systematic poisoning of digger sauir rels Is being .carried on,' working la conjunction with th . United States biological , survey, and very satisfac tory result obtained at low cost, A farm management survey of th coun ty Is being carried on la connection with th United States department of agriculture.
