MARKETING BILL T F . ",. By It. C Ktewart You can't get what you want un ices you go after it. The producer ha never gone after anything until very recently., but aince he has started working with his neighbor, ha found that he can get what be wants. The bill before the legislature last eek which defines and regulates coop erative marketing aMatx-ialions ia the rcHult tit the popular demand of the producer. Producer are working to gether. H they have never worked be fore.; They are showing a new spirit, a spirit developed perhaps by acute con ditions caused by the lowering of prices fir farm products and the unchanged hij;h prlees at which the producer must buy his necessities. . . With only four votes opposed, the senate placed Its stamp of approval upon t-enate bill 28, which commits the state of Oregon, in a definitely stated policy. !f ine encourasjemeni 01 twpci .(.; marketing and places the teeth in the membership" agreements- of cooperative marketing associations which will with stand the undermining efforts, of the foes of the cooperative movement. 'STltOSG OPPOSITION The pa name of this bill is a complete ' lctory for the producers' organisations of the elate. .It net only places the atata government's approval-upon coop erative marketing, but It gives the asso ciation the right to use a contract which cannot be broken by., any member at the instigation of the enemies of cooper ation. .. ! This bill has been fought,' as has every cither movement designed to Improve fsrm marketing. It lias been fought : by firm and corporations that have been uslhg all means tn their power to secure farm produce at the lowest pos sible figure, thus holding up the - pro . duee until a high figure? could be se- wired frpm the consumer.) . It is a notable fact that representa I -ttves from the Nestle's Kood company, 1 a firm which has fought the Oregon 1 Milk Producers' Cooperation- in every ? stage of its development, were on hand to speak before the senate and to lobby against the passage of this bill. Other interests ' are working against coopera tive marketing, but are doing It in a - Thore underhand ' way and It is hard to get to proof of the fact. The opposi tion may be expected to continue as ""long as these firms see any chance whatever of killing the effect of col- iciuvc aim iiciMit.. AFTER MIDDLEMEN" One of, the opponents of the bill op- - . . -J i . . . . . i . . ,1 . i : . . . i -J tie a member' of a cooperative associa tion hand and foot and leave him en tirely at the mercy of the association. But what is the association? Is the farmer apt to work aa injustice upon himself, merely by agreeing to work with his fellow producers, when all of tils actions in . this association Is . gov erned by himself and others. In ttoe same line of business? Purely cooperative associations do not allow anyone except producers to join their associations. Ia . it logical then to nay that a man will work a hardship upon himself? Senator Hare countered , the attack of the opponents- of this bill, declaring that the producer was enti tled to the protection afforded by the cooperative government, as made possl ble under the provisions of this bill. The issue presented to the senate, ac cording to Senator Iennis, was how to eliminate the tremendous profts which attach to the products of the farm and ranch between the time it leaves its place of origin and the time it gets into the hand3 of the ultimate consumer. . Deimia called attention to the fact that there are fewer farmers in Oregon to day than there were 10 years ago. due to the fact that the farmer, fbecause of lack of adequate protection, had been unable to make both ends meet and had been forced to enter other fields of en dpavorj This bill, he insisted, was de signed to correct this situation through the elimination of needless middlemen, . assuring to the producer reasonable re- - turn on his nroduot and at the same time prdtectlng the ultimate consumer from exhorbitant profits. . JOIMSO OPTIONAL Senator Joseph called attention to the fact that the cooperative marketing Idea contemplated the control of the associ ation by the producer himself and that i no one was compelled to -enter the asso ' riation, but declared, for the protection or me-other members, every member onco In should be compelled to 'respect - hla contract. in spite of efforts to dl. rupt the association through the exten sion of tempting offers by independent buyers. Kverybody, according to Senator Eddy, In organised for-mutual protection ex cept the original producer, which condi tion this bill sought to correct The time - has come, he insisted, that unless the men who feed the world are afforded a reasonable measure -of protection, pro duction would be still further discouraged and the world would faqo the prospect of hunger. - '-" The producer, he declared.' is now -the . first to feel the effect of every adverse condition. This bill, he concluded, made It possible for him to realise a reason able return on his efforts througn cooi. eratlve marketing of his products, yet afforded the consumer adequate protec tion through the elimination of the prof iteering middleman. Cooperative marketing is solving the problems, of the, producer, ft. has come to stay and may be expected to include all farm commodities of any import ance In the near future. Farmers Cemented By Bureau System Sandy. Keb. 19. Calvin Ingalls. state organiser for the Farm Bureau federa tion, addressed 50 farmers here recently on the object and workings of the bureau. Ingalls says he is "an honest to God dirt farmer himself,' and knows that the farmer has to be "hog tied" to make him stick, seeming to think the Dairymen's league is on the. right tack in its compulsory contracts, as "the farmer will not protect his own interests unless compelled to. Heretofore farmers' organisations have had noth ing to bind them together, and bave been standing out hke sore thumbs, but this movement is trying to gather them ud into one body, because individually they cannot acoompiisn mucn, sata tn speaker. .

WAR OEGLAREO ON DIGGER SOOIRRELS The word has been given to begin war on the digger squirrel and other rodent pests. in the ;agricultural sec tions of Multnomah county by Coun ty Agricultural Agent S. B. Hall, commander In chief of the loyal forces against the invaders and dep- j redators rodenta. ) ' :' ' The battle jsvill open March 1 and will continue until March 15, and no inter national agreements limiting the means of warfare wilt apply. Poison, gas. traps, shooting; anything goes. The digger or ground snuirre! is not found north of the Columbia river, but of late years he has emigrated and multiplied in the hills of Multnomah county and is a costly guest, a persistent enemy and a moft 'industrious borne builder. Directions are being issued by Hall and studied by the farmers. It is es timated that every digger or California squirrel in Multnomah county costs an average of 60 cents to maintain, while some do damage amounting to hundreds of dollars. A single squirrel family will levy at market rates last year from a grain field not less than $7 under favor able circumstances to the squirrel. And if fate and the indifferent farmers are kind there will be at least five families increase for next year. Multnomah county is singularly free from the California gopher which is not found north of the Clackamas and east of the Willamette rivers. It is a serious pest in many parts of the Willamette valley, however. . Owing to the fall in the prices paid for mole skins the onslaught on this pest has . fallen off, and in the drive to be made the mole is, to be included. Hats have multiplied of recent years and in vaded farm buildings where never known before. Mice have been on the Increase, also. Many dairymen eliminated cats to a large percentage t when the price of milk and butter fat, ground feed and provender mounted a few years agoj and the rats and mice increased to some ex tent. No trap or poison campaign can equal pussy for mouse warfare. Bridgeport Poultry Eancn Stands 7th In 0. A. C. Contest Palles. Feb. i 19. Of the 27 poultry plants in the state cooperating with the Oregon Agricultural college in compil- ng production and coat records, of Hois ngton Brothers' plant in the Bridge port community of Polk county, took seventh place in production for Decem ber, with an average yield per hen of 12.3 eggs. According to the Hoisington report for January, which has just been filed with the college officials, the flock made an average of over 16 eggs per bird for the month, netting a very neat profit to the owners. Arthur Hoisington stated ricently that the concern's hens were lay ing no less than twice what they ever had before ; due largely to. improved feeding methods as outlined by H. K. Cosby, poultry specialist of the college. W, J. Oarner of the Smithfield section also is cooperating in this manner. Gar ner is the farm bureau poultry project leader and when not engaged in bureau work in -other counties, devotes consider able time to poultry improvement work in Polk.

Sheepmen Arrested For Violating Law Upon Stock Herding Vale, Feb. 19. The first gun of a war ton non-resident livestock men who herd their stock into Malheur county foe feeding purposes without properly noti fying county officials so that the county can collec-t its share of the taxes on these herds was fired this week by Dis trict Attorney Itobert D. Lytle. who has had a warrant issued for the arrest of two Basque sheepmen who have been feeding three bands of sheep in the southeastern part of the county and have never notified the county officials. Malheur county has been holding the sack and other counties collecting the taxes for some time," said .District At torney Lytle. "We have always taken care of our own stock feeding in other counties, but have been rather lax on checking up on non-resident stock feed ing in this county. I want to issue a warning to all non-resident stockmen that from now on they must give the proper notification or face arrest." The law provides that notice must be givtyi to either the stock inspector of the county or to the county clerk whenever stock is herded into the county. Taxes on the livestock are paid in resident counties, but, armed with the notices of the time the stock feed in Malheur coun ty, this county can then collect its share of the taxes from the other counties. Muscovy Ducks Are Found Profitable Mrs. James Gray, one of the best known poultry raisers of Troutdale, states that Muscovy ducks are the most satisfactory to . raise, since they are unusually good layers, and also raise and hatch th-ir young better than a hen. This year Mrs. Gray has won prizes for her ducks at the Gresham fair, at the Portland poultry show and also at the Sherwood fair. Mrs. Gray says that Muscovy ducks are unlike other ducks. They are black and white in color and have the flavor of wild ducks. The drakes weigh 15 pounds, and the hens weigh six and seven pounds. .In addition to raising ducks. Mrs. Gray also raises six different kinds of geese. Some of them are imported from the Kastern states, but all of them are of registered pedigreed stock, m mm See My Cut Prices Below McClanahan pays the freight to your nearest rail road station.

Write COLUMBIA VALUE OF COUNTY AGENTS IS SEEN In discussing the relationship of the county agricultural agent to the county farm bureau in the states federated with the American 3F"arm Bureau Federation, President J. R. Howard said: "The farmers of the United States are coming to have a growing appreciation for the work of county agents represent ing the state agricultural colleges and the United States department of agricul ture. They recognize the vital necessity of the maintenance of educational work through the state ' extension services, which leads to a more economical pro duction and a more economical system of marketing farm produce. The county agricultural agent already has more work to do than any one man can handle to the best advantage. He should hlm Belf guard carefully any pendency on his part to become a business or organiza tion agent for the county farm bureau. The county farm bureau, on the other hand, should never expect or permit a county agent to jeopardize the educa tional work by becoming absorbed in the other activities of tne farm bureau. The active program in marketing and in securing beneficial legislation should be entirely in the hands of farm bureau of ficers, county, state and national."

He made ad dresses at Castle Rock, Eufaula, Mono han and Bunker HilL from Prize-Win for prices. .if 1 1 hm l ORGANIZED FIGH T Dallas, Or., Feb.r 19. The busi nesslike: manner in which the Polk county farm bureau ia go ing after a number of farm prob lems was well shown in late January by work in connection with the ro dent control project. To reach out lying parts of the coupty and those sections in which " little organized work, was done last season, Ira N. Gabrielson of Portland was 'secured to address a series of meetings ex tending over a period of a week. Gabrielson is employed by the federal bureau of biological survey and has for his district the state of Oregon, where he is responsible for putting forward control measures for such animals as diggers and other squirrels, gophers, moles, rats and mice. in each of the 13 meetings held it was pointed out that diggers were eas ily poisohed on individual farms, but that eventual control is contingent upon organized effort over large areas. Not only are counties being organized to a man for the complete destruction of the pests, but entfre states are working in unison for their control. The Oregon state farm bureau has gone so far as to secure the cooperation of the border counties of California to the end that poisoning may go on simultaneously on both sides of the line. Since poisoned wheat has been used almost exclusively heretofore for killing digger squirrels, Gabrielson went into some detail relative to the use of bar ley as urged by the bureau of biological survey. Four reasons were mentioned, namely, the lesser cost of barley, the danger to song ;nd other beneficial birds being minimized, the rough coat of the barley affording a better surface for carrying the poison coating, and lastly, the fact that taking the season through and over the entire Willamette valley squirrels prefer the barley to any other grain. These conclusions are not the result of opinion, but are based upon 10 years of intensive and costly experimental work on the part of the government. Failures with the poison prepared by the "county agent and distributed through the farm bureau were attributed to im proper placing of the grain. The poison should . not be placed In the holes, but scattered out on the surface, about a tablespoonful in a place well scattered out wherever the animals are accus tomed to feed or to play. The farm bureau was commended for the vigorous manner in which it is at tacking the digger problem and the pre diction was made that three years of intensive organized effort would put an end to the pest. Among the communities reached were Gold Beach, Harmony, Buell, Baliston, Spring Valley, Eola. Beuna Vista, Pe- dee, Antioch, Guthrie, Salt Creek and Oak Grove. C. C. Gardner,- county project leader for this work, reports that the county agent is now preparing the poison ac cording to the government formula and that stocks will be in the handg of lo cal committeemen not later than the first of March. Plans . call for inten sive work during March and the fore part of April with regular follow-up. dur ing the summer. Farm Bureau Meetings Dayton, Wash.. Feb. 19.

Sorghum Industry Appears Promising Pasco, Wash., Feb. 19. The raising of sorghum promises to become an import ant Industry in parts of Franklin coun ty, as is evidenced by the action of the farmers in the Ringold section. At a recent meeting called by W. A. Joyce, and which was attended by every man in the community, to determine what crops were best adapted to that section of the county, taking market facilities into consideration, it was decided to go in for the raising of sorghum j on an extensive scale. ' An investigation con ducted last season by J. Horton, who raised considerable sorghum in that sec tion, proved the feasibility of : raising this crop to good advantage, i It has been figured that sorghum can be raised at Ringold at a cost not to exceed 70 cents per gallon of syrup, and a letter from the Hill Syrup company of Seattle has guaranteed to take all the syrup that can be delivered .to It by the Ringold farmers at 90 cents per gallon f. o. b. cars at Pasco. High Producing Cows Soon-to Arrive Here A fine bunch of young Guernseys is on its way from Ohio to a new home in Oregon.

Powers, pro fessor of irrigation and drainage at the Oregon Agricultural college, spoke here this week, conducting a series of short courses on irrigation and drainage for the farmers of Malheur county. Professor Powers stated' that sage brush lands of the West, under proper ir rigation and drainage and intensively cultivated, will produce more to.the acre than any other known soil on earth, and that it requires a less area of these lands to support a family. ' - EXAMPLES PROVE CLAIM: -Professor Powers cited as an example the Yakima project, originally idle, areas which cost 115.000,000 o develop, and which produced $42,000,000 worth of products last year. He Is not merely a theorist on these matters, but has been a successful farmer in various parts of the United States. In speaking of Malheur county. In par ticular. Powers said: "It I were to own n irrigated farm in the West, there Is no locality I know of-that would suit me better than your own irrigated section. The elevation and climate is. right for a long growing ; season and .. with good water rights, and proper irrigation and drainage systems," there is no better to be had. PHOSPHATE PLENTIFUL i "Therfl in twicA t hp nhrwnhatA in vnur fands that there is in most of the lands of the Columbia river basin." The three days school was attended by quite a number of farmers of the county . and many of them said that they were thoroughly convinced that drainage was as essential to the success of irri gated projects as was Irrigation itself. The farmers of the county are inter ested in having a soil expert make exten sive experiments in the county this year, to determine the most feasible plan for reclaiming the lands which have too. much water or alkali and several organ izations of the county have requested the legislature to continue the appropriations this year for experiment work. It has been-pointed out that there are thousands of acres o greasewood and saltgrass lands in Oregon and that recla mation of these lands will add millions to the tax roll of the state..
