"lint labor has big national or ganizations and many leaders to stand back of the laborers de mands and help them get them." "It did not have once. Farm ers can "have the same powerful or ganization any time it cares strong enough to build it. It can regu late production, do its own mar keting, rid the nation of its specu lators and make its own selling prices.". "Then wny isn't it doing some thing along these lines in Oregon today? There are several long established cooperative organiza tions rwhy ha vent they "made more progress along this line? "Because none of the strictly co operative organizations, are given strength enough to' accomplish much. They are too weak in num bers. They do not control enough of the product to be able to fix their own price on their goods. Then too many farmers like; your1 self who stand along' the lines and say,. 'it can't be done,' and you help to make it impossible by your outside competition. "The government should help us in our present extremity. We hare the most important industry in the world. Nearly all the news papers and periodicals in the land and state and national representa tives admit oar plight of the. past three years, and they state that agriculture must be made proflt- abV'4jl "order that "other business may progress." i "And because these1" newspapers and politicians have done this, you farmers sit . down and pity your selves.' If these papers and these representatives bad proclaimed tthat.yo'u farmers are getting all you deserve to have; that you should be satisfied with peonage conditions and if - you were too helpless ever to be' dangerous to the industries that prey upon you - if these papers and these office leaders had "made these statements instead of competing with each other in their deluge of sympathy It would .not have taken you long to get together organizations powerful; " enough to show the world you could run your own business." . ." "When yon farmers will work as hard as you complain, when you quit self-pity and line up your locality for self-benefit, when you once get it into your heads (hat the government will never guar antee you profit prices on your products, but that you have got "to get that guarantee by organiz ing along the game lines as other business that gxiarantees its organ izers dividends, then will farming have its place in the sun." The above are some of the many both-side arguments on the co operative movement that the state market agent hears every week; Read them again, and the next time think-them over. DONATIONS TUIADE FDR SUFFERING Still Further Suoolies for Salem's Poor Needed at Red Cross 500 ATTEND BIG ECONOMIC CONFERENCE (Continued from page two) in the production of small seeds. such, as clover, grasses, and vetches,-figures indicating that these seeds may bring . into the state an additional income of at least $2,000,000 annually, for pro- because of the necessity of im provement in the conditions of ag riculture, not only for the sake of Educing, red. alsike and white clov the farmer himself, but also to in-ier hairv vetch, grim alfalfa and sure the continued prosperity of the merchant, the banker and l?1 agriculture was heartily com- j other interests. A brief resume of the recom mendations of the. different groups are given below : ' " Wheat Marketing Probably, the two most import ant subjects discussed were the marketing of wheat, anil prunes. The conference recommended a reduction in spring wheat acre age, no reduction in winter wheat and a large increase in barley, growing only standard ( varieties, for the reason that; it has been shown that Oregon's acre.produc- grass seed. The U. S. department demned for discrediting Oregon cjover. seed, its unwarranted con clusion being drawn on. conflict ing evidence gained from a single year's trial. The crop conference recommended that potato acreage e not increased and that growers in western Oregon standardize on Burbank, America Wonder and Earliest of All, -dropping the nu merous, msicellaneaus kinds now grown to the disadvantage of-Oregon markets.

In addition to the money, some -vegetables, can ned fruit end clothing. .were re ceived. Though the response has been good, more, supplies are -still needed to relieve present condl: tions. One woman has guaranteed to see that milk for a family of five children Is delivered for a month. This family had two children in school. The mother, who'ftr- also theBead"'or the family, has'been haying a hard time since the can neries closed early this year, and while she was able to purchase the actual necessities to prevent starr ing, she was not able to. spa re a cent for milk, which was needed. Those having supplies to con tribute or who wish to pake do nations are asked to get in touch with Mrs. Young at Red Croa.s headquarters, 640 State street. If these people are unable to deliver their donations, if they wjll notify the Associated YJharities sohi? one will call for the supplies. At 13 he is humble because he is ignorant. At 80 he is humble because he is wise. -- - A' man isn't really old. until he begins to "talk about how severe the winters used to be; " . - east of the Rocky mountains Therefore the law of . survival of the fittest will compel these states to reduce their acreage rather than pregon. Farmers were' advised to use straw spreaders, to replace low yielding oat acreage -with barley, clover and vetch, and to; vastly in crease the production ; of vetch, clover and alfalfa hay, i especially in the Willamette valley. The production of flax for fiber and for flax seed in some favored sec tions of Oregon was recommended. The federal grain grade for export ing wheat were endorsed. A special grain growing section presided over by Senator Ritner of Pendleton endorsed, the Mc-Nary-Hajigen wheat i exporting commission plan and urged the passage of the bill now before congress introduced by these gen tlemen, which would tax all wheat growers 7 cents . per hushel on their crop and would pay a bonus of 30r cents per bushel on all wheat exported, thus establishing a domestic price of 30. cents per bnsftet ojfer. .the foreign! price. ' t is a Veil known fact that the pres ent-price of wheat is , based upon the foreign ,price,- and regardless of what' that -price is, under the provisions of this bill the local price would be 30 cents: higher. Want More Legunufc The pasture and forage crop sectiojj recommended that a. con- sidera,blei portion of the 135,000 acres of grain and hay in. western Oregon bo replaced by jvetch and clover- hay That every owner 6t livestock adopt as his motto, "I iwill grow my own feed. The corn acreage of western Oregon should be doubled to stop the annual importation of 1500 to 2000 cars of corn 'into the Pa cific Northwest. - j The seed conference urged far- mera.of irrigated areas of eastern Oregon and farmers of 'westejyi 0reg&n to enter more extensively HER INTEREST IS REAL. 4 ' t l ' .j. ii i i, '-- , t mitt , : ';... j HI '&.ir&J?S 1 m If -. :;:, .m. v.

All. dairymen and all manufacturers in the states are to be asked to contribute to a fund to carry on an educational campaign in behalf of that bill". The dairymen recommended a nor mal increase in the .number of dairy cows, with ten cows as a minimum in any herd to be prof itable. It- was found that 52 per rant of the hull used in the state are scrubs and should be elim-l inated. " Ponlrrymen Organize The poultry section met and or ganized as a new state poultry as sociation, with Grant B. Dimmick of Oregon City as president. It is organized for educational pur poses and to exert proper influ ence for the adequate recognition of the importance and value of the industry. About 50 poultry- men were present. 1 nthe newspaper conference on Saturday R. K. Hendricks made a statement that the- Salem district should and could produce poultry produce to the value of $18,000;- 000 annually, and that numerous contests in laying irecords had demonstrated the . Willamette valley to be the outstanding poul try country of the world. More Berries Needed The small fruit section recora onended an increased acreage of red raspberries, black-caps, cur rants, strawberries, and that no new acreage of blackberries or lo ganberries be planted; that sour cherry planting be. discontinued, but that planting of Royal Anns be increase with polonizers in lo calities where cannery and local demands, warrant. Loganberry growers were organized to form a , federated organization compos ed of local organizations from each producing locality for the purpose of studying problems of consump tion and distribution and to solve tbejr marketing difficulties. Increased production of head lettuce, was "recommended. Broc coli should be confined to the special broccoli districts where it has been proved a success. All cannery vegetable producing should only be increased where local cannery demands warrant." 1 The nut growers committee rec ommended only sufficient plant ings of filberts ' and walnuts to maintain the acreage. Same rec ommendatiOn was -.made' for ap ples and Brtlett , pers, "with the need pointed out for increase plantings of winter pears and also' the need for better organization and. marketing facilities. Beef Cattle Seeded The animal husbandry section determined that the beef cattle in dustry is permanent and should not . be shifted to. others. Three- fourths of Oregon's land is fit for grazing only, and the present de pression causing many to go out of the business has not left enough sheep and cattle to eat the grass. Pork should be raised in only suf ficient quantities to utilize the available food supply, but that supply should be increased until it is possible, to, supply Oregon's demand for pork,t Thereaxeiat present 13.000.000 acres of free range-ef which"!!;-' 000,000 are available to home steaders but not taken up because ot no value and being grazed in a haphazard way, the grass is left killed, By putting this land un der private ownership the yajue may be increased to $50,000,000 for grazing purposes, and it might be made to contribute $1,000,000 a year in taxes. Co-operative Marketing Recom mended The marketing group recom mended co-operative marketing wherever feasible in order to bring about more orderly seasonable marketing for farm products, hav ing an impartial survey made be fore any co-operative movement is launched., and co-operative in terests should be ' combined to solve transportation and legisla tive problems. Marketing con cerns should -make -more liberal use of the intermediary federal land bank -at Spokane as a.means of financing themselves. A recent survey by the depart ment of agriculture shows that the prices of farm products for 1923 to be higher than those of 1922, and the prediction is made for a better year for 19.24 than for ftth- er of the. past two year. , ; The. pxuaa groap jrcokni..nded;; that no more" prunes "oelaated in Oregon." tht hengreat ' need ' - was for larger sweet prnera& larger 'tartrprune. and tat o--r operative organisations huld ne extended : to ; iaclnde all $ praae.;.
