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

ty Is being carried on la connection
