RICKEY May A meeting
was held at the school - house
Tuesday evening' in the Interest
of the Farmer's union organiza
tion. Members from the surround
ing communities rere present. W.
L. Creech of Bethel presided. '
' Speakers for the evening were
Max Gehlhar and J. O'Shea, na
tional secretary, of the Fartners
Union. : v "- ; f';1. .". ' ".
' Mr. Gehlhar believes coopera
tion imonr the farmers and con
fidence In each other is as nec
essary with farmers to make, a
Vaccess as It is with business men.
.He used the success of Jhe coop
entire creameries as an example.
Another tblng Mr. Gehlhar em
phaslzftd was the use of . home
products.
r He adTlsed careful study of
conditions and soils that the
farmer might raise crops best
suited to soils. Over production
of certain erops is a thing that
should also be avoided by farm
ers. - ' ' ' .
? t Mr. Gehlhar believes in pro
tective tariff. He says Oregon has
made; more progress in saving de
partments than any other state. ?
4 1 Mr! 0Shea believes in person
si friendship among farmers. He
numbers his personal friends
among the farmers at 633,000.
He told bow the onion growers
shipped several cars of onions
and realized a net profit of four
and five dollars on the lot and
told how much better prices are
received since the growers are or
, ganized.
He said over five- million
pounds of butter substitutes were
used in Oregon the past year and
thinks this to be regretted. He
thinks the freight rates , should
be lower than when grain was
' sold at a high price.
Mr.! O'Shea says the Farmers
union is the only farmers organ
ization composed entirely of
dlrt"! farmers. He has been a
citizen of the United States since
he was 21 years of .age and a
member of the Farmers' union
for 14 years.
1914 he raised and delivered
170.000 bushel of wheat. He
thinks a wise choice was made
when Max Gehlhar was chosen
head of the agricultural depart
ment of the state.
