commended the county court' for

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

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

said the fact that Marion county
had an agent 14 years ago, dur

high and demand constant, was
In no way comparable to today
when prices are low and compe

Out of a 'small attendance eight

"We had a man filling the Job

wheat'saying districts in Oklaho

raise wheat on large, acreage and
cheap land at 50 cents a bushel
and to make money on It. "The

"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

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

C. A. Bear, Turner Commun

association: The dairymen's as
sociation is unanimously in fa

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

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

Walter Stolz of the Salem

how County Agent Beck of Polk
county had assisted him, when
a resident of that territory. In

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

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

maintaining their offices would
be more than one-half met by
federal and state money, funds
