UNITY OF EFFORT
HEEDED TO BRING
FARMERS RELIEF
1 Z- c Stewart 11 .
It seems to be human nature for
everyone to" want to lay the blame
for low prices and unsettled markets
I upon the other person. ."Passing the
buck." a this habit has been called,
'( has become chronic with the" Amer-
lean producer as well as with the
manufacturer and the retailer,
rit -'Is rather nice to be able to quiet
one's conscience - by figuring out ' how
some other group Is responsible for the
unfavorable conditions which are met
I from day to day. But really the only
I way to better these cosdltions is to look
I the proposition squarely ' in the. face,
admit at least a portion of the blame,
I aitd tike steps to remedy the condition.
- ; Truly, producers bave had a bard row
I to hoe for many years. AH sorts of
j impositions have been worked upon them
f and there has apparently been no way
j to solve the problem and -obtain Justice
for the farmer. Each individual has
been sinaing bis own plaintive song-, be-
com Ins more and more pessimistic and
J allowing: others to play upon this very
trait to their own advantage.
? IDEAS JJOT SCFFICIEJTT
I - An Individual producer can say very
I little -or do nothing which will really
f change policies, systems or laws which
I affect his welfare. While he may evolve
I a new idea; yet without someone to help
I take hold and . put this idea across, it
is almost impossible to put the idea into
effect. . -- - i ;
I What fs needed is less talking; and
1 more concerted action. Action not for
i each individual In a separate way. but
by a" group which Is organized about a
central commodity or for some distinct
2 and definite purpose, 'this group might
I be a marketing organization or, better
still, representatives from the various
commodity ' associations ; which would
work for the good of all. , 1
Such a group ia typified by the
American Farm Bureau federation,
which is already in action and but needs
the support of more people to bring
about better conditions for the American
producer. ''.- ' I
TBAIfSPORTATIOX BIG PROBLEM
A few things the producer needs and
must have are already being worked for
by the farm bureau. High transporta
tion charges now offer the biggest prob
lem to be solved by all farm organiza
tions. It catches fanners coming and
going, for It has made possible the prof
itable selling of their commodities at any
distant market and in many cStaes the
local markets will consume but a very
smalt portion of the total crop. On the
other hand, when they? go to buy either
farm machinery, household goods Or fur
nishings, the high cost of transportation
is always met as a factor in the price,
even though some of these very .com
modities may be produced in a nearby
locality. -.- - .
Still more important -Is the finding and
developing of markets to insure a fair
price for farm products. The most logi
cal .'means of doing this seems to , be
through the cooperative marketing as
sociation which, when properly supported
by .the majority of the producers. has
already proven its ability to accomplish
this' end. . -i '-v -
BO AD TO CONSUMER SHORTENED
These marketing associations are mak
ing it possible to greatly shorten the
road between the producer and the con
sumer. They are also providing a means
for; the financing of , the producers so
that the entire crop output of the coun
try will not be forced upon the market
during a short period of time, which baa
resulted in a great fluctuation' of prices.
at all times harmful; to a majority of
the producers. ; : , .- ..-

ganlsations has been? hampered mainly
because of the selfish views taken by
some of thej producers who have pre
ferred J to stay out of : the association,
trusting that the work of the association
would j be of benefit, to them . without
thejr having to spend a dime or put
forth any effort toward making the as
sociation successful, i These "slackers,'
as they might be called, "have worked
more harm than the - combined efforts
of all the middle men; who are naturally
putting up aj strong fight to keep down
cooperative 'marketing. Without this
group, which has refused to cooperate,
the opposition of the others would be
entirely.; futile and shortlived. -
What, then, is the greatest need at the
present time. Is :- for each individual to
do his part, and through the combined
efforts of all of the producers, gain the
object for which all are stritjingr more
economical production, cheaper transpor
tation, and more direct marketing. When
this is accomplished, no producer will
be anxious to blame everyone else for
unsatisfactory conditions, for such con
ditions will be eliminated.

COAST Fill MEN
ORGANIZE TO SELL
An important step has been taken
which will be of Immense benefit to
the , fruit T growers of the Pacific
Coast. This is the organization of
the Pacific Coast Producers associ
ation, which was Just organized at
a meeting of fruit men at Seattle.
It Is expected that at least 10.000 cars
of fruit will be shipped by water from
the Pacific Coast states during the pres
ent year. .': C S. Whltcomb, who Is vice
president of the California Fruits Ex
change, was elected president of the new
association; Whitcomb has been touring
the country, securing the, . pledges of
growers of apples and other perishable
farm commodities to cooperate with the
citrus fruit growers in assuring a per
manent . tonnage for steamship lines
operating on the inter-coastal service,
i Water transportation seems to be the
only solution of the problem which is
confronting the growers, due to the. ex
cessive ana pronioiuve ratiroaa xretgnt
rates, Once initiated, and the handling
facilities for the fruit installed, . it Is
expected shipping by water will become
the .regular thing and growers will have
a much wider outlet for their fruits.
The f. directors of the- export bureau
organised' for Oregon and Washington
are J. H. Wade of Wenatchee, who was
elected president of this bureau; C De-
vere Fairchild of Yakima. H. F. David

House ants, a serious nuisance In many -homes,
may ordinarily be exterminated
by the judicious use of tartar emetic,
say the O. A C. station entomologists.
Have your druggist weigh it out ' in

tablespoons of syrup or similar sweet
material. Apply on chips or pieces of
crockery placed on shelves or near run
ways so that the ants may feed on it.
