The same is true f the herrr fruit fly which menaces the entire valley crop, . aafit TjOWP LeRoy Esson. North Howell r ran re: Ninety percent of the membership of this grange favors an acent. said Esson. For new methods in the growing of alfal fa alone an agent has made many counties far more than he was paid, Esson remarked. Esson commended the county court' for being careful before Increasing Its budget but said the rumor that the granges were going about the county agent matter in an "underhand" way was unwar ranted. Esson pointed out , that the national grange had secured the passage of the Smith-Lover act which provided on a national scale for county agents. ."I'm a farmer and - have been at it for 25 years but I know that agents have done much to improve the reduce rodents," said Esson. He said the fact that Marion county had an agent 14 years ago, dur ing war time3 when prices were high and demand constant, was In no way comparable to today when prices are low and compe tition extremely keen. A, L. Collins, Fairfield grange: "We can send to Corvallis for In formation when we need It." said Collins, but added "Who will do li : saiu ins grange um uui yet yoted on the- agent proposal. Henry Zohr. Butteville grange: Leadership was held by Zohr as the need of agriculture. He said he Joined the Yamhill county cow testing association for want 'of one here and found It was In "strumental in building a good nera ror aim. inaiviauai farmers have not the time to take the lead In agricultural problems which Is demanded, said Zohr. Need New Idea On Diversification Frank Bowers, Macleay grange: Out of a 'small attendance eight people In? this grange voted for an agent and seven against, said ment that Marion county had an agent 14 years ago. "We had a man filling the Job and i drawing the 1 salary but X don't think he was an experien ced agriculturalist," said Bow ers. He dwelt extensively on the developing methods of growing wheat'saying districts in Oklaho ma and Texas were learning to raise wheat on large, acreage and cheap land at 50 cents a bushel and to make money on It. "The fa va board can't do anything to keep this district from raising wheat cheaply" said Bowers. "We haven't time to experiment to get new crops to raise on our higher priced land. The time now Is to employ someone to bring us newer methods on diversified crops which this valley can pro- Henry Crawford, representing Marlon County Bankers' associ ation: Crawford said ha repre- OLD HOME OF 25c TALKIES TODAY and SATURDAY Special Mickey Mouse Matinee Saturday 2 P.M.

"Song o My Heart" the cur rent picture at the Elsinore Is bit off the beaten path of movie song romances. One thing Is that It does not "all come out well" as is the way of most shows. Another thing which makes it much different Is the singing Toice of John McCor mack which Is trnly beautifully recorded. In the development of the play McCormack sings the last of a group of three songs before a concert audience and one feels much as though he were right there listening to the man in person. Farrell Macdonald and Ed ward Martlndel are outstanding in the character work done and Alice Joyce does a realistic part of a broken hearted woman. McCormack sings beautifully but he does not rate much as an actor. His inability to act rath er throws the whole picture off balance for - good acting: one feels the presence of the director all the way through and it is disturbing. However the singing Of McCormack and the plot make the show one not to be missed. sented the association In the ab sence of Eugene Courtney of Woodburn. At one time the Mar ton county bankers offered to pay the salary of an agent, so valu able did they consider the -plan, but the court decided the sug gestion was not feasible because of the law. Crawford cited nu merous pests and diseases an agent could curb and said there was no widespread attempt now being made to handle these de stroyers of a healthy agricul ture. He cited the- prevalence of the strawberry weevil, of con tagious abortion and of the cher ry fruit-fly. Crawford said the bankers were not trying to tell the farmers what to do but he indicated the farmers, by their own efforts, had shown what they wanted. E. L. Clark, Fruit Growers' Cooperative, Stayton: While there has been no official action taken by this group, there is vir tually unanimous sentiment among stockholders that a coun ty agent would improve growing conditions in the Stayton dis trict, Clark also stated that a club of farmers at West Stayton, where a considerable acreage has been set out to vegetables, would favor the employment of an agent. Lawrence Beckman. Hubbard bank and Hubbard Cooperative Fruit Growers association: Of 148 members of the association. 141 farms being represented, the sentiment was for a year's trial, at least, "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," said Beckman. "Anything which helps a farmer be thrifty helps the banker In the community." Mass Production Problems Faced Ray Glatt, secretary of Wood b u r n Cooperative association: Glatt declared that we were liv ing in a day of rapid changes. Mass production is here, com pelling manufacturers to make changes rapidly or else to perish. "The farmer cannot sit back, re strict his field for learning; he must be in line with, the march of progress.? said Glatt, He pointed to the fact that 20 out of St counties In Oregon bad agents and that the cost was far more than met by the returns to the fanners. Glatt said he was oppos ed to higher taxes but declared himself in favor of spending money when it brought adequate ILAM OF DSSDrj fSBE? men , . . strong, swift, The returns. "Perhaps Marlon count because It is so favorably lo cated can do without aa agent.1 Glatt averred, "but we cannot do as well without supervision and help in the farming problems aa with them." Glatt said this was especially true in time of depres sion, John Gotterud, Brush Creek grange leader: His district is highly assessed one consisting of farmers who have generally made a success of their business but admit there are many things they do not know. He declared the county agent proposal was given a unanimous rote. As manager of the Silverton Fruit Products company, Gotterud said on many occasions he tfought help from Corvallis men which be. would have obtained from a county agent had there been one. He compared the county ; agent to road master who supervised road construction. At first' such a worker was opposed in the coun ty but now no one doubts his im portance, said Gotterud. "As for the tax I don't object to it If we get rood returns. Father Joseph, manager of St. Benedict's abbey, 100-aere farm: "We see the necessity for such a distributor of information as the county agent," said Father Jo seph. He said that many times farmers came to the farm he con ducted to get information but an agent was needed instead of a private institution, to carry on such work. Father Joseph point ed to the case of a neighbor who used with dire results, alfalfa seed which had not been treated. St. Benedict's abbey is in favor of employing a county agent. he said. Lawrence Thomas, Mt. Angel residence. "I consider this move ment an Investment, not an ex pense," he said. "It is an unex pected pleasure to be able to speak for it."' Dairymen Active For Agent Cause C. A. Bear, Turner Commun ity club and Turner Dairymen's association: The dairymen's as sociation is unanimously in fa vor of "an agent. Bear reported. He said the Surprise grange near Turner had voted against the agent movement but he recalled that this .organization 25 years ago opposed parcel post and also was not favorable to a pared road to Salem. C. C. Hart of Jefferson:. Hart said in his locality there was general favor for the agent plan. He said he had Interviewed 15 people before he found one dis senter from the idea of hiring an agent. Walter Stolz of the Salem chamber: stols said his organiza tion was strongly in faror of hir ing an agent for this county. He said he didn't like to see men Joke about the United States de partment of agriculture or its branches in the various states. He said he thought the depart ment had done valuable work for the farmer. ; Fred 8. McCall of the Keizer community club was represented by Ray Glatt, He reported that the club of 150 members had voted more than two to one to employ an agent. Alfred Lowe, Erans Valley community club: Lowe praised County Agent Beck of Polk coun t for the work he had done. He said Beck was of great heln in heachine rodent control mathod. and in helping farmers raise al- TODAY and SAT.

Charles 'Reynolds, Coolidge Mc- Clalne bank. Silverton: Reynolds said the clients of his bank Were strong for an agent. Warren Gray. Marlon Com munity club: A leader is needed In the dairying Industry, said Gray, and the leadership must be supplied by a county agent. - E. J. Lafky. Marion commun ity club: Lafky said that his club of .ISO members had voted unan imously for an agent. He said he saw no harm In an agent save for the increase In . taxes. He said this could be overcome by elim inating $5300 now appropriated for bounties annually, leaving the court 1700 to appropriate to some other work than that of the, agent. Waldo Brown, Knights of Py thias lodge, Hnbbard: Brown said his lodge, composed largely of farmers, was unanimously In faror of the project. Brown said au prosperous dairying sections In the east, where land was high in value, had agents and found them profitable. C. T. Darling, West Stayton Growers' club: Darling said he thought the diversity in his dis trict comparable to the diversity to be found in Marlon county. Newcomers . to the county, seek ing information, , unbiased and authoritative, taref surprised by the lack of . information they re ceive. Darling said. Ha urged the employment of an agent as much to spread valuable information from one farmer to another, as for any other single purpose. Frank Doerfler, First Nation al bank, Salem: Doerfler said Ir rigation had Increased the yield per acre of his land from 1 8 to 970 during one season. He point ed out how clover raisers, dairy men and other farmers could profit from the services of an agent. W. R. Dougherty of Lablsh Community club: Dougherty told the county court that the propos al for an agent had carried in his district by a rote of three to one. He showed how the cost of hir ing two agents in this county and maintaining their offices would be more than one-half met by federal and state money, funds which otherwise would not be ex- STEne EH Gfimii?e " vr Fox MovietonTalking SATURDAY Love, youth, hot blood, determination and - against it great wealth!
