LANGXER - 8 in WHEAT GROWERS' EXCHANGE IDEA IS BEING ADVANCED By J. F. tngner : The Airier lean Farm Bureau Fed eration lsj considering plans for the organization f & "National Wheat Growers Exchange on somewhat similar lirtes to the plan now in use - by", the j Idaho r and -Washington Wheat" Grjewera association. While It! is ejctremely .Mrtllkelr'. that any- definite plerf-wlll be 'decided upon for-some considerable time to come be cause - eyery factor ' will - be first ' ana- lysed by the farm bureaa,' the first step in ,he - direction-; ef organisation was taken by president Howard at the re cent conference in Chicago when he ap pointed a committee ef 17 to thoroughly investigate; the matter. ' s , .rLiK is piscrssEi v Commentjing on the meeting-, Carl N. Kennedy qf Wallace's Farmer has an . illuminating: article in his issue of July SO. . The plan of organization on which Mr. Kennedy comments is the same as now used, r the Oregon Fruit Growers, the ' Dairymen's league, etc., with such marveliousj results . and " is the ' plan, In which Thej Journal has had Such ah active part in bringing before the farm ers of the j Pacific Northwest Extracts from Kennedy's article are as follows t i "Layt week at Chicago the American Farm bureau people were counseling together With representatives . of the Farmers' Union, Equity and Grain Grow ers' associations, after the usual manner of such meetings, when i Aaron Sapiro of 'California ' woke - them "up. V Sapiro minced no words, but came right out and 2ii a uo .tun roi our iumweswrn auempif at cooperation What if we have had cooperative elevators for 30 years? Have they really got us 'anywhere, except to eliminate A certain amount of petty thievery?! iSAceording tv Sapiro.. we are not using:"" tihe right kind of cooperation in the eorri and wheat belts. We are using the Rochdale or consumers' type of cooperation when We should be using the, American or producers' type of cooperation, such as they . use in California, f In California they center their cooperation around specific com modities and within 'the field of -that commodity 1 the producers completely dominate tjhe : price situation. Sapiro is attorney for California cooperative associations which ' handle close to S300.900.000 iworth of products annually, and knows whereof he speaks. They have made mistakes in California but they - have finally learned how to do thlnin unit Rfl n!rn hntxta that tha Mid- Western farmer will take advantage of the. hard-won experience of the Cali fornia farmer. ' ' FAEMIR ALXS DCW3T " . "Sapiro says that the farmer is splen did as a producing specialist, but rot ten' as a marketing specialist. Don't take a farmer from behind the plow handles to i run a marketing organiza tion, but leave a farmer to his speci alty and iire a city man who has had experience along, marketing lines. And so Sapiro says'. fLeave the farmer to his producing, where he is an expert, and hire selling, grading and warehous ing experts j to handle the farm products. Don't hire a dirt farmer for these jobs: and, above jail,- don't hire an orator. -A number of jabs were taken by Sapiro at (the presenV marketing sys tem. The theory of the board of trade . as an instrument through which supply and demand may work is dandy, but in practice it Jls rile. The Armour Grain company, ffcr instance, has its own sta tistical ; department for collecting the most accumte market news. . and acts on this news to its own advantage, and the farmer doesn't get the news until it 1s a week or two old. and until every body else has had a chance on It The ' individual farmer is an absolute baby in the hands of the professional mar keter.; f SPECIAL fTEEDS SEE9T "Sapiro thinks that there Is a special brand of cooperation for different kinds of product . In the case of non-perishable products, for instance, the big prob lems aVe Warehousing and financing. "Sapiro gave an interesting example nf how the California Prune O rowers' association set the price. This associa tion is four years old,, and ' control 85 per cent of all the prunes. They buy only from their growers, who have signed up On a long-time contract basis. There are 13 directors of the association, ell ' of whopi are prune growers them selves. Thfey met; on a given day not loner since, and their sales manager told. .'them that he had contracts for 110,000,000 bounds of prunes at a price which 'thef prune! growers themselves could name. These prune growers did not ? have j to ask what . any packer thought about it j or what . any miller thought about it.i They were setting the price themselves.' Just like the United Stakes Steel corporation sets its price. First they figure their cost of production,) and then?! they asked their sales manager what , he thought would be the highest price at which the entire crop of prunes could be. consumed, and then they Jasked their advertising man ager if it would be possible to expand this consumption in any way, then they . advised with their lawyer as to whether or no t there were any legal difficulties. And finally they set the price, and it is ' era money.) The prune growers also con sider the future. They know that by 1923 there will be enough prune trees in bearing) so that the crop will be 60 v per cent larger"! than at the present . time. . . J ' ' ' , x CAMPAIGN STARTED ? ' 'And so they are already putting on a $2:0,000j000 advertising campaign In order to . Increase the consumption of vtw.inaa n Mule rftfii.flf thlfK lr ernn In ' prospect The board of directors of the prune (people and the experts whom ... . -r. i - . - a a a tuey nirej Know &u mere i w . oe Vnnwn about the buddIv and demand for prunes They know about the prune crop in . the . .Balkans - ana in France.

They t now about consuming conditions in i China and - Japan, . .They have "to know all there is : to be known about world supply t and demand conditions, for it Jig up to them to set an Intelli gent' price. And Sapiro. believes that a price set In this ;way is a 'more intelligent price than one set by the Chicago Board of Trade. . He spent; con siderable time poking fun at the; Chi 'cagd . board of - trade people. Despite all ; talk to the " contrary, he looks on the institution as & gambling institu tion, . and thinks that they don't ' set prices jas intelligently as they might. SUGGESTIOir MADE I "How can the wheat growers use the California system?- The .first thing to do is to get a 'minimum percentage to sign up on a five-year contract basis. At least - 360,000,000 bushels of wheat ought to be signed up for at least a five-year period. At least 61 per: cent of the wheat produced in the nine most important wheat states should be signed j up for i this five-year period. There would be state wheat growers' associations and a national wheat grow ers association. , The : wheat would be pooled together by grades and varieties and partially, paid for as soon as ware house xeceipts became available and finally ientireiy paid for when each pool is sold.j L :- .- tph the national wheat board which sets . the price, Sapiro .would have in addition representatives from the state associations on basis of production, three men from the United States de partment of agriculture ' and . one i man from the federal reserve bank, in order to guarantiee fair nlav - to ' the nubile What the farmers want is a fair aver age price,, and under this system i they can get it. : There is no need for gam bling under' this system, and no need for hedging by the miUlers. The local elevators under this ; system would be owned by: p. warehousing association, the common stock of which would be held by the state associations but pre ferred stock of which might be 1 held by anyone. ;i ' f,;.- .j ;i '. L PI,A iSEEMS SOITSD i Thisf schema puts ' the local elevator man out of business in so far as he is a directing force, although it leaves tbe value of the property! unimpaired and enables the present stock holders to draw their -, usual dividend. - At this point several local elevator men began to interrupt the speaker. It was obvious, however, that ' the bulk of the people present i were in favor of Sapiro'S pre I sentation, although they may have felt that he somewhat underestimated the difficulties. His plan seems to be abso lutely bound, . although without much question it wilt be fought very vigorously by certain elevator and board of trade interests The organization can not be perfected over night, and the probabili ties are that even though an immediate start iq made it will not be possible to handle any wheat until the crop of 1922. The board of trade and the elevator interests win j complain very bitterly, and it maybe necessary to use counter propaganda against their attacks. 1 From his experience In California, however. Sapiro : believes that relations with the ordinary commercial and banking world will be very amicable. i "Throughout Sapiro's entire talk there breathed an unusually fine , spirit. Sapiro Jhonestly believes that the brand of cooperation : which they have in Cali fornia is as good for the consumer as it is for the producer, and that the only one to be harmed is the middleman, and speculator. Sapiro may possibly under estimate the difficulty of handling our corn belt crops by the California method, but in' the main we believe that his Ideas are absolutely sound. When it comes to live stock, Sapiro admits that the prob lem is considerably s different. Live stock- is a perishable product and , on that account , more emphasis should be placed j on the local associations; Be fore any great improvement can be made ' In live 4 stock marketing, Sapiro believes that it is absolutely essential that packing ' plants be converted Into public Utilities. f - "There were' a number of representa tives of packers, commission men, board of trade men, ate., listening to Sapiro in their usual intelligent manner, and after the meeting was over they 1 circu lated among the farmers in a quiet way dropping -words of wisdom where they might do the most good. j ' "Sapiro's talk made such an impres sion ' that President Howard was re quested to appoint a special grain mar keting (Committee. Bicing to Feature Giiays Harbor Fair; ; Opens September ! EJroa. Wash., Aug. 14. The j Grays Harbor county fair will be open to the public "September L - In Addition to the exhibits , which give promise of being better than ver before, and the regular horse racing program there will be new features in the way of auto racing and auto pblo, The horse racing program will start the first day of the fair In stead of on the second as has' been the case in, previous years. .

Ftnlty, the new secretary mariager of the Washington State fair, was found to be busily engaged in looking after new Improvements, answering necessary correspondence regarding exhibits, concessions, etc., when a representative of The Ore gon Journal Inspected the 5 fair grounds at Yakima recently. Fin ley Is . confident the twenty-fourth annual fair to be held Saptlember 20 to 25 will be the biggest o?ie in the history of Washington state fairs. Races for this year will be unusually good as a new one half mile track has been laid out for horse races and all the races are filled, some of the fastest horses in the western states and Canada being entered, The old mile track will be used for automobile races. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the big days for the horse races, while on Monday, and Saturday auto races and auto polo will be main events. Alex Sloan, noted auto racer polo player, will take part days. and auto on these As it is the desire of ; the secretaray and board of directors to make : the Washington state fair a "different" fair, they are planning to give Visitors an opportunity to see noted 1 j irrigation projects of the Yakima valley; and also give them an idea of the possibilities of irrigation on a miniature scale on the fair grounds. Flnley was manager of the Tleton irrigation project for 13 years during its development from a sagebrush stage to its present "high state of cultivation when Its 80,000 acres and 3000 farmers were able to produce' $3,000-000 worth of products annually. It is Flnley's purpose to make the Washington state fair an educational institution as well as furnishing enter tainment to visitors. The well-known Adams band of Seattle will play and Seaforth's famous Kiltie band from Vancouver, B. C-, will also bet on hand. McCleave's riding school performers will also exhibit feats of horsemanship. Over $22,000 in premiums are offered.

Lice j . ;V 1 ' ''".": i Kerosene emulsion is a recognised rem edy against plant lice and other soft bodied insects which do damage by suck ing the plast Juices, and which cannot be destroyed by arsenate of lead or Paris green. The emulsion Is easily made at home. A stock solution consists of two gallons of kerosene, one quart of soft soap and one gallon tf water.; I Dissolve the soap in boiling water and while still hot pour into the kerosene, then churn and agitate the mixture until it has the consistency of thick cream. This stock solution will keep Indefinitely and should not be diluted until ready for use. One part stock to 15 parts water is about the right dilution for soft-bodied insects. As a spray for the chewing and biting insects, add one teaspoontul of arsenate of lead to each gallon of the diluted emulsion. Irrigation System Installed on Farm; Ohehalis Is Tapped Centralla. Aug. 14. An Irrigation sys tem has been installed on the Bryden Moses farm on Fords Prairie, which is located adjacent to the Chehalis river. A.seyen horsepower pump Is placed on a level with the water which is lifted a distance of 21 feet up a bank border ing the river at the rate of 265 gallons a minute. Seven hundred feet of flume have been built, which will water seven acres of land, and in the near future this amount of flume will be greatly Increased. With the ability of flooding this land several times a year during the dry season, production will be greatly increased. Kale; and corn will be grown on this land to be used for the Bryden stock. H ' ' j The' irrigation system was installed by Hubert Miller, a senior in engineer ing at Washington State college. Inspection Trip of .

The ensilage made from sunflowers Is very palatable to the stock and when fed produces about the same results , as corn ensilage. Through this section It has not been generally conceded that sunflowers-will be a more profitable crop. This has yet to be proven. Are you going to plant an acre this year to try it out for your own satisfaction? Sunflowers have been highly recom mended for replanting in the corn field where the corn faiis to grow.

But as sunflowers come a little faster It Is claimed they will mature as soon as the corn where they are used as a second planting. .This is also worth trying. Corn Cultivation Is Deemed Necessary To Aid Production 'Hi i. ? Corn has now reached the stage where It requires a large amount of moisture. The present prospects are that we will have to-depend upon the moisture al ready In the soil. ' This means intensive Cultivation. Some farmers have the idea that cultivation is -only for; the purpose of .weed eradication. While this Is one of the objects, the greatest benefit derived from the cultivation is the retention of moisture in the soil to a suitable depth so that the com plants can make the best use of it during their first tew months of growth-, This means shallow cultivation. . There Is nothing better, until the corn is about six Inches high, than the regular spike-tooth harrow set at an angle of about 45 .degrees, if corn is harrowed once or twice a week until It la six inches high the ground will be in a better shape . to withstand - the drouth than any other method of culti vation. The man who expects to make a success of raising corn this year should adopt the motto, "Cultivate: early, culti vate late, and then cultivate some more." . - i Medford Cooperative Exchange Growing Medford, Aug. 14.
