them on the market and asks
what will you give?' Labor tells
the contractor and employer what
they can have the day's work for
;and if they .don't pay it they
don't .get it. And they do pay it
because they have to have it."
"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.

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.

Nearly $50 in cash, donated fdr
the purpose of purchasing grocer
ies to relieve the needs of. many
destitute families in Salem, has
been received by Mrs. Mae Yo'nngo
executive secretary of the Associ
ated Charities, .as a result of a
story printed in the Friday Issue
of the Statesman. 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.

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

in order that public health may
be conserved and the dairy indus
try protected. 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. , ;
