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

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.

TO BE BIG EVENT
G; C. 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.

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. Copies
ct the premium list can be secured by
writing for them. i 1

Kerosene Emulsion
Recognized Eemedy
Against Plant! 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 ' '

Sunflower Ensilage
Palatable to Stock
In many sections where corn cannot
be grown successfully sunflowers have
become very profitable as a silo crop.
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

corn Is .used -for replanting the second
planting never catches up with the
first and does not make much of a crvp.
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

100 BANKS TO AID
LIVESTOCK MEN IN
U UUUNIKY
More than 100 hanks in the agri
cultural sections of Oregon have
Joined - in a statewide cooperative
movement for; the encouragement
and stimulation of the livestock In
dustry along the best scientific lines.
These banks have pledged their sup
port to Chairman C. D. Rorer of the
agricultural committee of the Ore
gon Bankers' association in financ
ing the purchase of purebred breed
ing stock ..by farmers and stock
growers of their' respective com
munities who could not otherwise
afford purebred sires or foundation
stock for their flocks and herds.
The pledge applies particularly to
farmers and stockmen who will visit the
Pacific International Livestock exposi
tion at Portland in November, and who
would, like to buy pure-bred animals on
exhibition at the stock show, but who
will need financing in order that they
may purchase the animals selected.
MOVEMENT ritAlSEl)
'This splendid and concerted cooper
ation by .the banks of the state will be
invaluable in the' development of Ore
gon's livestock Industry," said General
Manager O. M. Plummcr of the Paclflo
International Stock show last- night,
"and similar cooperative movements will
probably be inaugurated in Montana.
Idaho, Washington and California. The
Importance of such support by the finan
cial institutions of the whole coast
country cannot be over-estimated. In
our - advance premium list and prelim
inary classification booklet, which will
go out to about 5000 breeders and stock
men on September 1, we are carrying the
announcement that the bankers will co
operate with the farmers, together with
the list of banks which have pledged
themselves to finance the farmers in
their respective districts. This will un
doubtedly greatly stimulate the attend
ance and interest at the stock show and
will result In greatly increased Bales of
pure-bred sires and foundation stock for
Oregon farms."
