THE OREGON .DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON (Booperatwe -Marketing Is Discussed in; Address of Grange Master Spenc r HOPE OF FARMER IS COOPERATION. i- GRANGERS TOLD The Oregon state grange has bad a successful convention at Eugene the past week. Many matters of in terest came before the grangers at this meeting and the delegates left feeling that much good had been ac complished. j Many matters of importance were cov ered in the address of C. EL S pence, mas ter of the State grange. In speaking of the present condition of agriculture and how deflation had effected It. he brought out the point that 'federal reserve funds could be obtained to finance the growing iof crops, but would not allow the farm lers to hold the crops, although allowing j ethers to borrow money with which to i buy the same crops and hold them for i speculative , purposes. - The menace of over-capitalization given as one of the causes. COOPEBATIOTT URGED . Cooperative marketing was the key note of Spence's address ; among other things he stated : "The farmer must learn to market his produce through his own cooperative organization." He said, "1 believe the farmers of this state and na tion are awake to the necessity of such a system and will take advantage of the opportunity to Join with their neighbors tn such organizations . as the Oregon Growers,' Poultry Producers. Dairymen's 1 league. Wool Growers and Grain Grow ers. But we must not expect any co operative movement that . encroaches upon the profits of the speculators to t nave easy traveling, inose oeneimeu by the present system have made milt lions by it and will spend millions to de feat any system that would deprive them of those benefits. "All kinds of schemes will be promoted to create discontent In the minds of co- . .......... .nH fTK.iHA ' vm ka nntaMa TVIfllT be paid more for a time than the market will justify In order to disrupt the or ganization. , There will be times that will try men's souls, their patience and their pocketbooks. There will be 6lack ers and traitors as there always are in farmers' movements. There will ; be costly mistakes made in management for all men are human, but I have confi dence that the farmers of America will win out along these lines just, as they have done in other countries. j THBEE POSSIBILITIES SEES" "M cooperative effort fails, if the com bined interests against them are too utron and succeed in defeating the co operative effort, there will be, in ' my judgment, three possibilities lacing ine farmer of America. ! . "KMrst peonage or peasantry of the middle ages. "Second political, action, and state - ownership and operation of the system of distribution. 1 Thlrd revolution. . , i T do not believe that the American farmer will ever stand to be reduced to peasantry, although there la a movement orr .iooti-tih&Vtr direction of .the federal department of agriculture . to colonize European' peasants on farms in this country. There is no legitimate demand for such" action as there is no shortage of farm products in this country. As stated - before, our farm ; products are going to waste for want of a market. There is no Justification in this, coloniza . lion scheme And It will only serve to put American farmers in- direct competition with cheap foreign labor, and ; reduce our .standard of living to a level with that of the peasantry. It looks as though this colonization scheme was promoted to head off the present cooperative move ments among American iarmera. New Tractor Device Plows Soft, Ground " The tractor business has grown tre mendously in Oregon, according to O. V. Badlev of the Cleveland Tractor com pany, and the tractor method of farming has been demonstrated to be the up to date way. Badley cites the problems nffered here by the Columbia dikea lands where the ground Is so soft that no tractor will work without special at tachments. A new attachment for the Cletrac adds 400 square inches to the traction surface and the machine will plow on soft land in several inches of 'water. This new device is being manu facturea in roruana. SOME- PARK-VIEW PULLETS : 4 'in; ,y . ' ; '.X- i - f - , 4 ' , y i , , if ; ' ' - ' : A few of the Tankard strain of White Leghorn pullets on poultry farm of C. K. Day, route 2, box 478. Day has 1400 'young birds1; and 300 breeders, all of which have been trap nested and are proved layers, i producing between 200 and' 302 eggs per. year. One hen, designated '. as number 26, laid 58 eggs in that many consecutive days during February,' March and the first part of April. Day has i recently erected a new poultry house and will soon have a modern plant on his four acre farm. NUMEROUS CHERRY TREES ARE DYING Numerous I cherry s trees in many parts of i Portland are dying. Walter H, Gerke, city arboriculturalist of the bureau - of parks', has investi gated the situation antd finds that the damage is due to the peach tree bark beetle and low state of vitality of the tree, resulting from the big freeze of over a year ago. Vigorous, healthy trees will not sue--cumb to the attacks of the insect, ac cording to Gerke, but those trees which suffered i from the cold are very liable to be partly or entirely destroyed. Own ers will notice small round holes about the size of a pencil point in the twigs and limbs of the trees. The larvae of the beetle are deposited here. The Insect winters in the tree as an adult beetle, a little less than, one-tenth of an inch in length. : The beetles leave their winter quarters early in the spring and migrate to brush, other trees and other suitable wood. Eggs hatch within 17 to 20 days. The young larvae then burrows ilVfc to 3 inches into the wood, which borings are the boles to be seen now. -All stages of the insect growth may be seen on the trees at one time. Gerke advocates the following control : First r eliminate unhealthy wood the breeding, places. Sometimes unhealthy, trees may be restored to vigor byheavy cutting Sack and then ' a treatment of cultivation with generous dressings of manure and - fertilizer.- A - thin coat of whitewash will prevent the laying of more eggs,' to ' a large measure, but will not kill the insects already In .the trees. To be effective it is necessary to apply as many as three coats during the sea son In early ; spring, ; mid-summer and In the fall. Cover the main branches as well as the trunk of the tree.

' j Growerawant 8 cents a "pound in the CentraCaTifomia districts but canners claim tihe price is too high and back their: judgment by refusing to make contracts.1 California canneries also claim, accord ing to recent advices, that there is' a large carry over of canned strawberries. A recent report from Central Califor nia says: "Both sides are standing firm in the matter of strawberry prices. As an outlet for the surplus berries, which ordinarily would go to the canneries, the Central California Strawberry Growers" association has established plants for the packing of their fruit in sugar and ice, and a moderate supply has been proc essed In this manner. A market will be sought later."' In the Sebastopol cherry district the Cherrry Growers" association found its cherries ripening .ana no market from the canneries. The big canners of the state refused to be interested in the crop. As a result, ? the- association was obliged to give its attention to finding a freeh fruit market. At a meeting of members, .according to advices, a San Francisco - house .agreed - to i handle the crop,: paying growers 3 cents a pound oh delivery, with . final settlement to be made ion a basis of price receiyed for the fruit. STOCKMEN DISCUSS INDUSTRY PROBLEM The Oregon Horse and Cattle Raisers' association held its annual meeting' at Canyon City this year, which was attended by a large num ber of livestock men from all over the state. The start to Canyon City was made out of Baker, on the Sumpter Valley railroad, with Conductor Dave Baird of the narrow gauge road in charge. At Batesville, where the largest of the several mills owned by the Oregon Lum ber company is located, the boarding house cooks of the company served din ner. The party was met at Prairie City by automobiles and the remainder of the trip to Canyon City made over the John Iay - highway, a stop being made first at - John Day. The streets ' there, were lined with pennants, each pennant carry ing the brand of some cattle man Jn the state and made by the women of John Day;- Arches of welcome covered with green were erected along the street, which together with the pennants made the decorations effective. ISBtrSTRY'S TRIALS DISCUSSED Among the principal speakers during the convention were ; Walter M. Pierce of La Grande ; George C. McMullen, commission man for the" Kansas City stockmen; Bruce Daniels of the La Grande Evening Observer, and William Pollman, who has been chief executive of the association since its organization. The .opening address was given by Pollman. who discussed the situation which faces the stock men. He urged that economy be practised by everyone. "We. as an industry, can not quit," he said. "The bands of cattle are on the ranges,' the Oregon range is good, the hay land will produce each year and we can no more quit the business than a merchant who happens to have a year when his business shows losses instead of profits can afford to quit. "Plans for refinancing many men must come about and the bill recently intro duced In congress by Senator Stanfield, unless tangled up with too much govern mental red tape, should bring some re lief, for it provides for' loans of suffic ient time to let the stockman come back." -PROSPERITY ITU PROSPECT Pollman lauded the association mem bers for sticking together, and urged unon all the . ImDortance now, of all times, of maintaining the same spirit of coo Deration. Srvkmii wer characterized as the ! gamest and squarest men on earth, who do not whine -and growl wnen aaversity hits them, by McMullen. representing the Kansas City stockmen. "Stockmen are. as a rule., optimists." he declared. "For the last year and a half they have had a big kick coming, but they have taken their medicine with the least kick ing of any class of business men that I know. of. v "This much is certain. The livestock Industry will be the first to feel return ing prosperity. This may not happen today or tomorrow, or within the next 30 days, but I do feel and hope that we will note a material improvement before the first of the coming year. "Remember, there are one hundred and -ten million people In the United States who have to eat, and there' are several hundred : millions of people in Europe who would like to eat, and they will , some day." The question of "Who is the profiteer Poultry The 8208 hens ' in , the demonstration farm . flocks reporting for April laid a total, of 171,988 eggs, with an average production of 20.95 eggs per hen: The 10 highest record flocks for April had a total of 3998 hens, which laid a total of 88.419 eggs, with an average produc tion per hen of 22.12 eggs. The highest individual ' flock , record tor April was made by 510 S. C- White Leghorns owned by Clarence Williams of Linn county. .The flock laid a total of 12.001 eggs with air average of 23.53 eggs per hen.: Diseases of poultry have spread through the country this last year with great, rapidity, and: have caused enor mous' loss to poultrymen, according to Dr. J.j-N Shaw -of the veterinary medi cine department of O. A. C. Among the most prevalent diseases are chicken-pox, tuberculosis and white diarrhea; Ac cording to Dr. Shaw, some rf these troubles are easily remedied if a little perseverence is used. Feeding the farm flock the right kind of food is important, if it is to be a pay ing proposition. If hens do not get sufficient or proper food they can: not be . expected ' to give satisfactory and profitable results. A complicated ration is not necessary. The aim should be, as far as possible, to feed the hens grains that are grown on the farm or that are available in the immediate neighborhood; - Richard G. Scott Resigns Gladstone, June 4. Richard G. Scott, former agricultural agent-of Clackamas county, lias resigned his place with the Oregon Dairymen's Cooperative league, to give his attention to his farming in terests in Washington county, where he moved from Gladstone about two months ago.

He. too, lauded the stockmen, and. discussed' the present sit uation in an 'interesting manner.1 During the business session of the as sociation a resolution favoring a tariff on livestock products was adopted. En terprise was chosen as the meeting place for next year's session of the Oregon Cattle and Horseraisers association. Election of officers for the coming year proved to be an endorsement of the old administration and. although Wil liam Pollman. insisted that some Other man be named as president, his remarks were ruled out of order and Walter Pierce's motion that unanimous choice of Pollman be made for the coming year carried with enthusiasm.. ' PROSPECTS FOR PRUNE CROP GOOD Prospects for" a prune crop have materially Improved during the last week, according to reports received by the Oregon Growers Cooperative association. In many districts where reports of two weeks ago indicated total failure, closer inspection, of prune orchards promise a 25 per cent crop. .

For several years nicotine and' .its compounds have'- been, used fagainst certain soft-bodied insects as contact insecticides, and within the past few years the question has been raised concerning the" effects of nicotine eul phateupon the eggs and.early instars of other insects, which are commonly con trolled by other means. v. , - To obtain reliable Information on this subject ' the department entomologists conducted a series of experiments both In the laboratory and field, a report of which : has just been published in de partment bulletin 938. In the laboratory testa it was found that nicotine sulphate, with one excep tion, was inefficient against the eggs of the silkworm moth; cod Un moth. tusBock moth, .and - potato beetle. The eggs sprayed with it were variously: affected. depending upon the strength of spray solution used, on the age of the eps tested, and whether or not the solution contained soap. Upon the eggs of three of the species of Insects used there was virtually no difference iri the effecta be tween solutions containing soap and thorn without soap, although those with soap were much more effective upon the etsgn of the tussock moth. .
