SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1C21. 1FIF2 if T-r i TFT ; h EFFICIENT MARKETING BETTER FARMING THE ' OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON F, ns UNITED III COMMON GOOD BY FARM BUREAU By R. C. Stewart i Th farm ".. bureau movement la really the latest development In co operation. It is cooperation wherein producers of ail kinds of farm com modities have their share in the working of a common good. While the farm bureau is " distinctly sc-parats from any of tne commodity marketing; cooperative associations, ft is he center from which practically all of the new associations will he formed. That farmers are ready for cooperation and mutual assistance, Is shown by the readiness with which they srs Joining- the farm Bureau Federation- In ret tins; together through cooperative asso ciations and locals of the new farmers' organizations people of a community are learning to mix with their neighbors, getting new Ideas, and. in fact, are greatly broadening themselves. 3 EW IDEAS DIFFUSED It-ls'only through the Interchange of Ideas, made possible through these new farmers organisations, tifat all - of the producers of the country- will be able to get together and give their mutual as sistance and ideas for the solving of the producers problems. The man who Stays at home', never getting- out of his backyard, so -to speak, and has nothing to do with his neighbors,- is always go ing backwards upon the path of prog ress. He has no opportunity to secure or study any new ideas, but must de pend upon thowe which be can evolve, and there are few men who give birth to really new Ideas.;-: - It U necessary then, for the broad ening of any person's vision, : that they not only mix in a social way with their neighbors and fellow countrymen. ' but that they get together and ; work . out their ideas together, each lending what assistance he may. Often 'times a man will have an idea, which has. been dor mant in the back of his head for a long time, the value of which has not as yet im pressed itself upon him. It may be that by talking with a group of men who are Interested in his particular line of work, the real value of his idea will be shown up - and . new idea will be developed whiCh.will be of assistance to a. large number of people. This broad ening and mutual helpfulness is but one of the dominating features of the. farm bureau. . , ' STUDT COURSES FLA3T5ED I The farm bureau is looking to the fu ture as well as to the present. A great many people are now beginning to real ize1 that one of the chief difficulties which will be met in the cooperative marketing of farm crops, will be the lack of trained men to care for the mar keting machinery efficiently. The presi dent of the American farm bureau has written' to the1 presidents of the various State universities and agricultural insti tutions suggesting that these institu tions render a great u and appreciated service:1 to agriculture by , establishing courses In cooperative marketing. It is hoped that both long and short courses will be provided .on this subject to furnish men trained in the mechanics of cooperative marketing. As the farm bureau progresses, many new problems- will have to be solved. There are problems which can be solved only through the efforts of the indi vidual members, who must devote con siderable study to the matter in hand. ' The farm bureau provides the ma chinery through which any question t moment can be immediately referred to all of the members for their opinion and the expression of their ideas. ' The term cooperation need not be lim ited to a marketing association. It has a broader sense, "self service of all.' for the benent of an others." , . .

V v e- y,,,; .V mm praises MARKETING LAW Dallas, Or., March 26. "The coop erative marketing law is the greatest legislative victory that the farmers of Oregon have won ta 60 years," said J. D. Mickle, former state dairy and food commissioner and now with the ? Dairy league, in addressing a convention of the Farmers Union organ izations of Linn, Marion and Polk coun ties, held near. Jefferson. March 12.: "It looked as if we were whipped," continued Mickle, until the very close of the session, but fortunately, the farm ers of this state were able through their several organisations to make their wants known at the critical time. ; . " "The' strongest fight of the session centered on the cooperative marketing bill. wnne its provisions are simple, merely defining the public policy of -Ore- g-on.; relative to agriculture ana mar keting agricultural products and legal ising cooperative marketing associations with the long term contract among the membership, it was the declaration of those whose interests are not too identi cal with producers, that the bill carried grave dangers for Oregon farmers. : "Organized farmers felt fully qualified to- pass upon any dangers of the bill and notified every house member of their wish for passage with the result that but four -negative votes were registered against the btlt -- !;Z - k j-v: r This Incident is the finest' example observed of the necessity for farmers being able to make their wants known at a critical time." , ifi i"5 co - it .... f !-- .

While Baker dees not have a county agricultural agent, through the ' good t offices of the TrirState Terminal company and the- Farmers' union - much of the service of an agent will be -performed, for .the farmers vfof the county. .," . , An' important step In this direction at this time is the preparing of poison for squirrels and other pests which will be furnished through the Trl-State at actual COSt. - . c ( POISOST BEAST Manager Carl Hoge has been prepar ing the poison and is now ready to sup ply farmers. The poison is mixed from the formula. , - 1 - TV. E. Wilmer, the newly elected presi dent of the Farmers' union, is a live wire with considerable experience in farm agent work, and through the union will dp all he can to assist farmers in this work. --- -i..: The Trl-State company has volunteered to act as a clearing- .house for the farm ers , in the work, which has been under taken at the instigation of the Farmers' union. It is felt that the move at this time may later lead to the appointing of a county agent In Baker county. As it grows the need of the agent may become more urgent. It is hoped with the pres ent plan to get much of the same result for farmers - as with a county agent, and this without the added expense to taxpayers of $3000 to $4000. i ' TOTE AGAI3C ST AGEST . ' Baker county has two of the leading farmers -unions in Oregon. The Baker local has 211 members and is the largest local in the state. - The Rock Creek local has about 100 members, being classed-as the third, in size. .. ' ; . At a recent meeting of farmers at which there were 20 J3 resent a vote was taken on the question of a county agent for Baker county, and there were only three favorable votes. ' It was from this meeting that the idea of the Union and and Trl-State company taking up the work was developed. Superphosphate and ' Lime : Are 5 Declared . Best as Fertilizers Montesano, March -2S. Fertiliser tests conducted last year by the Grays Har bor county farm bureau have demon strated that superphosphate and lime are the most successful fertilizer ; here for oats, clover and . rye grass, r Flowers of sulphur also proved a valuable aid to these crops. . , , :y. Two new demonstration plots have been laid out this spring under the supervision of Robert Cowan, county agent. They are on the McAlister farm at Wishkah and the James . Caratairs farm at Satsop. Each plot is two by eight rods and contains six subdivisions, fertilized as follows : No, 1, superphos phate, 300 pounds to the acre; No, 2 potash-," 150 pounds to the acre:. No. S, unfertilised; No. 4, superphosphate. 300 pounds to the acre, and manure 10 tons to the acre; No., 6, unfertilized; No. , flowers of sulphur, 100 pounds to the acre. In addition, half of the entire plot is fertlized with lime at the rate of 3000 pounds to the acre. The two plots will be sown this week, i Eventually It is planned to have plots in all parts of the county to determine what is best for every variation of soil condition. Baker Plans Active ( Irrigation Campaign . Baker, ! March 26. Plans were dis cussed for an active campaign for secur ing government aid for reclaiming arid lands in Baker county at a meeting of the irrigation committee of the Chamber of Commerce Monday afternoon. Promo tion work will have to be done, and rep resentatives sent to Washington to get the projects before the proper authori ties.

Levis, organ lsaUon manager of the" Oregon Growers' .Co operative association Lewis states that although the Northwest rather fell be low its average crop of apples last year, 1 there is a feeling among apple growers that this season a large crop will be harvested. , - Pears grown in the Medford district last season topped the market In the three great fruit centers of the world. London, New York and Chicago. Now the- fruit section between Medford and Ashland is coming to the front as an apple growing country, especially - for the Golden - Delicious. At the, annual exhibit, of the Mississippi Valley 'Apple Lg rowers' association, held at Louisiana, Mo., A, Johnson of Ashland was awarded all, prises offered on Golden Delicious. Boston, New York and Chicago have become familiar with. thd high grade of broccoli grown In Oregon through ship ments made by the Oregon. Growers Cooperative association. : Chicago has been a - steady buyer of the Roseburg broccoli. The-price received by the as sociation this season has been from 23 to 50 cents a , crate over the average, these prices ranging from 11.25 to S1.7 J a crate, with a general average of SI. 40 a crate. There is at present a growing interest in the broccoli industry in the Immediate section of Salem. One grower, who claims to have - an especially . fine grade grown from the Vafentlne seed, claims to have sold ; from a patch of little less than an acre, S275, with sev eral, more . shipments to gather before the .season' closes.
