Marketing Crops I i J
HYMAN II. Cohen, market editor of the Portland Journal,
puts his finger on one of the important farm problems
i of this valley, that of marketing of crops. This valley
produces such a diversity of crops that its marketing prob
lems are multiplied to the point of embarrassment. Each
crop has its own character, its own market, and must meet
specific market demands. -For some the market is domestic,
foi other produce almost entirely local, for other crops the
market is foreign as well as domestic There are the matters
of i pack, of grading, of financing as well as of media to be
used which must be considered for each item of production.
In some cases the specialized marketing is pretty well worked
out asiin the case of the walnut and filbert growers. In
others it is not well organized. I i
Cohen, who is a good authority on farm production and
marketing in the northwest, offers the following criticism
of the handicap which confronts valley growers:
"The chief complaint against the Willamette Taller Is the
lack of marketing ability of its growers and distributors. There
i something Titally wrong with a district that can produce such
wonderful qualify and plenty of it, and haTe practically nothing
a but a local demand td take care of it. That is the big drawback
of horticulture and agriculture in the Willamette ralley.
"Need of marketing schools is generally shown In the
Willamette- Talley. While there are producers who are able to
harreat and pack their supplies and find a fair market at inter
als. others are befogged and get little for their work. There is
need of schools to show the proper time to harvest, the right-
way to pack and abore all the places where supplies can be sold
to adrantage. There has been much talk of statewide marketing
Arrangements to aid producers but little has as yet come of it."
I While the special session -of the legislature renewed
legislation on a state agricultural adjustment act, after the
first act was declared invalid by the court, we have not
heard of any marketing codes for crops of this season. Per
haps the need is not apparent this year as in depression years.
Perhaps there is fear as to the validity of the present act.
However, considerable has been accomplished ; under crop
control agreements, as in the case of the loganberry crop
this year, where the board set a price and that price was
accepted by buyers. It may be that this method points a way
for progress in this direction. . i '
Better cooperation among producers is needted to estab
lish proper grades and practices. Assuredly more aggressive
selling methods are needed for widening the market for
such products as prunes, Oregon nuts, seeds, etc. The field
is indeed inviting for study and for action. Dr.! W. J. Kerr,
chancellor emeritus of the system of higher education was
given such an assignment for research. It is to be hoped that
he can make definite recommendations which will help solve
the problem Mr. Cohen has touched on.
! Jersey
EFFERSON township, down
J seems to be one unit of 'government which lives up to the
doctrine of Jeffersonian simplicity of j government, and
full libertv and responsibility of self-support. When the lib
eral funds which had been provided for relief were exhausted
and no more were supplied or the amount greatly reduced,
localities had to take up the burden. Jefferson township
sejems to have adopted a simple rule, as it reported to the
Jersey league of municipalities: if
I "We discontinued relief and told them to get out and
scratch, which they did and we are getting along O. K."
! Not even Governor Martin has had the courage to pro
claim such a drastic rule. Nor have the other townships of
New Jersey, although the relief load has been very much
reduced. The league report for 38 communities showed that
for June, 1935 the number of cases was 12,706 and the cost
$318,548 to the communities. For June! of this year the
number was 4,690 and the cost $65,438. !
J A reporter in the New York Herald Tribune, reviewing
the experience under the new policy, had this to say:
"What happened to the people who were told to get oat and
.scratch? Nobody has yet been reported starring, or enduring
gTare hardship, although the policy -was inroked three months
ago. No figures are yet available on the number ot former relief
tclients who have suddenly discovered they can make a living
Ty picking fruit and berries, mowing lawns, weeding gardens and
working as domestics in South Jersey and along the shore. A
'fonserratire estimate would place the figure somewhere-between
1M00 and 20,000." . : i
! He adds that much of this work is seasonal and the re
lief rolls will probably swell this fall and winter when the
outdoor occupations end. ! I 1
! The trouble with the relief business is that the workers
are unwilling to go out ori jobs where the pay is considerably
less than what they have been drawing on the relief work.
They have a feeling that they are entitled to a fair living,
and are justified in refusing to accept employment where
the pay is low. j
Eventually, unless the government is going to assume
permanently the burden of providing substenance for dis
tressed segments of the population, something like the Jef
ferson township rule will have to be invoked. Society should
ndt let folk starve, but the rule- of "get out and scratch" is
really the most ancient of all economic laws, and one that
cannot be superseded in any system of production and dis
tribution of wealth.
Ages of Cars
OFTEN one hears the remark that old cars should be
barred from the road because of their increased risk to
i other vehicles using the highway. It sounds logical. Old
heaps with poor brakes, defective headlights; aged tires
would seem to be the ones most likely to figure in accidents
either to themselves or to other cars. Like many general
assertions which sound plausible, the facts hardly substan
tiate the claim. I
At least a short survey made by the Automobile Trade
Journal of actual accidents,
sion. Investigators studied the
which occurred in an eastern
were grouped by their ages, which ranked from 1925 to
1935. The astonishing ihing was that instead of having the
accidents distributed -nearly in proportion to the relative
number of cars of given years operating on the highways at
the time, the reverse was true. The oldest cars figured in the
accidents at only about one-third of their expected share,
and the percentages increase until the most recent models
showed a disproportionately large number of accidents.
The reason of course is that drivers of the older vehicles
have been accustomed to driving more ! slowly and more
cautiously. Their buses simply will not travel at the speed
of i late models. - . f I
j What is the moral, go back to the 1925 and 1926
models? Of course not. If we shall not by legislation limit the
speed of the new cars, then by voluntary discipline we should
learn how to handle them with security ; for ourselves and
safety to others. Don't blame the model of the car; blame
the driver when an accident occurs.
The Spanish government. Itself born of 'revolution, denounces
the revolt of the army In Morocco
ernments always1 legitimatize themselves; and the Spaniards now in
the seats of power have no desire to relinquish their seats of au
thority. In any state, whether the rulers are from the right or from
the left, the anwer to rebellion is gunfire, nnless those in power
are too craven to resist.

Ready for the Tour ;
Cleveland, July 20. :
There are still explosive possi
bilities in the Townsend conven
tion and there certainly Is a
strong current
of resentment
running, under
neath. - NeTer
theless it seems
nnlikely that
old Doctor
T o w n s e n d's
control will
weaken or that
the. political
program to
which he , was
clearly commit
ted before he
came here will
Frank - Sew not go through.
Some of those who have been
painfully - squeezed by the strong
anti-Roosevelt twist he has given
this gathering insist that the
good Doctor is senile and does
not really know what he is do
ing. The facts do not bear this
out at all. On the contrary the
Townsend course from , the start
seems curiously consistent and if
he has made any actual blunders
to date they are not visible to the
naked eye. For example before
he came to . Cleveland he ; had
entered a combination with the
Rev. Father Coughlln and the
Rev. "Gerald Smith, the primary
purpose of which is to defeat
Roosevelt. There was no Inten
tion of endorsing Mr. JLemke in
the convention. The risks of such
an effort were plain. The plan
was officially to preserve a non
partisan attitude for the move
ment but to so drench the dele
gates with anti-Roosevelt doctrine
that the stumping tour of the
four leaders Coughlin, Smith,
Townsend .and Lemke c o u 1 d
start with the support of the
great bulk ' of the Townsend fol
lowing. Up to this writing that
plan seems to hare been success
fully peraued. despite an insur
gency that i at one time looked
formidable and which is by no
means completely quelled. : The
conrentlon Is scheduled to end
Sunday on a strong anti-Roosevelt
note with the appearance before
it of Mr. Lemke, th Third Party -candidate
himself. Next month
Father Coughlln's National Union
for Social Justice will hold its
convention here and once more
the Roosevelt administration will
be ripped from stem to stern.
After that the four leaders wiU
begin their tour in the interests
of the Lemke candidacy. Actually
of course it will be in the Interest
of Governor Landon and ' they
know it. Not one of the four has
the least notion that Mr. Lemke
will be elected. What they want
is to beat Mr. Roosevelt and the
Lemke candidacy is the only
means available for them, inas
much as Governor Landon has
flatly opposed first, the pension
plan of the Townsend movement,
and second, the currency infla
tion ideas of the Coughlin-Lemke
outfit.
It is a fact that Mr. Roosevelt
has not publicly . taken a . pro
nounced and unequivocal stand
against either of these proposi
tions. He is not of course for
either of them but certainly he is
far closer, to the Townsend
Lemke point of view than his
Republican opponent, which
makes it seem strange that these
four leaders should be so muck
more violently opposed to Roose
velt than to Landon. : Two ex
planations are offered. One Is
that it Is entirely natural to be
more bitter toward a man whom
you believed to be with yoa and
then discovered not. to be : thai
against the man about whose op
position there was never any
doubt. "And there Is no question
that both the Townsend people
and the currency inflationists did
regard Mr. Roosevelt as sympa
thetic. The other suggestion is
that these leaders think that by
the election of a conservative
Republican President, who will
take no step In their direction,
the reaction favorable to their
respective causes will be very
much greater than would be the
case with the- re-election of a
synthetically sympathic Roosevelt-
That however seems a little
too subtle for these gentlemen
and It is easier to believe that
their strong: distaste for Mr.
Roosevelt arises front personal
reasons. The Incontrovertible
fact Is that quit knowingly no
matter what they say they are
promoting the Landon chances.
There Sa no way of estimating the
effect upon voters of the pro
posed tour of these tour men but
undoubtedly rather Coughlin and
Gerald Smith are the tws most
emotionally effective speakers la
the country today. Ia their ability
to stir a crowd there is none who
approaches them. Dr. Townsend's
pension plan, of course, appeals
to a great mass of people, and the
currency Inflation scheme, as
demonstrated la Congress, has a
considerable popular support. It
sounds like a formidable and
many will think dangerous com
bination. It Is easy to claim that
millions will follow their lead In
the election. But it may not turn
out that way. Movements such as
these have a way of petering out.
Men such as these do not always
hold together. They are all prone
to exaggerate their following and
magnify their power. For ex
ample, strong as Dr. Townsend Is
personally. It Is certain all of his
friends cannot be taken away
from Mr. Roosevelt. Some of the
more pronounced Rooseveltians
here are in open revolt. They
have succeeded In Implanting a
good deal, of poison among the
delegates. AH sorts of rumors are
afloat.
There la talk of the Liberty
League and of "Hearst Gold." The
unfortunate Duponts are dragged
in, uepictea as sintsterry engaged
In plotting to buy the whole
Townsend movement. The "Kan
sas Gang- now In control of the
Republican party, is suspected.
There are many others. Some of
the delegates are really in a state
Of great Inflammation and among
the leaders there is bitterness and
suspicion. Mr.. Clements and other

A TOUNO MOTHER recent
wrote asking bow to guard her ch
acainst summer diarrhea. Fortunately.
It Is not as comon as la former year
yet It continues to be observed dur
ing the summer months. Many of
my readers will recall the days when
summer diarrhea. In Infants was the
most dreaded and serious of all child
hood diseases.
This disease has graaUy decreased
because ot our better understanding
ot food. Improvements in refrigera
tion and preservation of food sub
stances have been of tremendous
value In curbing the disease.
Blames SpoUeJ Milk
In most Instances diarrhea In a
young child can be traced to the use
of spoiled mm If the milk or food
supply is contaminated, diarrhea Is
a common result Since this is more
likely to occur during the hot
weather, special care must be exer
cised at tbla Ume.
The diet ot the Infant must be
carefully supervised during the sum
mer months. Likewise, the child
should be guarded against excessive
heat and sunshine. Te ksep the
rounffster cool It la wise to sponge
and bathe tbe child at frequent In
tervals, Older children should be re
strained from too energetic play.
In some Instances diarrhea occurs
despite every precaution. It may re
sult from some infection in the body.
For example, diseased and enlarged
tonsils and adenoids, or infections of
the nose, throat, or ears, may be the
cause of diarrhea. The germs ot dis
ease are absorbed into the system
and carried to the Intestines where
Irritation and Inflammation 'follow.
Occasionally diarrhea Is a symptom
of some constitutional disorder.

Narclssa Whitman came from
the fort to the Lee mission, then
having been largely, transferred
to the site of Salem. She visited
the four mission families then
living In the Lee house, still
standing, SCO Broadway, the first
residence of whites on this site.
' Also she visited with the W. II.
Gray family at the Oregon Insti
tute building. Wallace Prairie
(present Bush farm), the con
struction of which Gray superin
tended, having come to work for
the Methodists after leaving the
American Board employ.
Jason Lee himself took her on
her way home as far as The
Dalles, whence Dr. Whitman came
for her as soon as possible after
piloting the Applegate covered
wagon train of 1843 over most
of its journey.
After Mrs. Whitman had reach
ed Waiilatpu. she took up a cor
respondence with some of the la
dies of the Methodist mission
here and a few of these letters
are still kept: lnterestinc and
prescious heirlooms.
Dr. Whitman, pilotinr the An-
plegate train, received at the site
of LaGrande, Oregon, a letter
from Spalding, telling of the dan.
gerous illness of Mrs. Spalding.
Dr. Whitman gave the piloting
ot the train through the Blue
mountains to Stlccus. Cayuse

their cheerfulness was not reassur
ing. A wretched month followed for
Lrnn. There seemed to be more
models in the city than there were
garments to display. Work of any
kind was scarce. Lynn was not
trained for any other definite ser
vice. After the first few days, she
decided that she would accept any
thing at allt clerking, filing, even a
waitress er cashier in a restaurant.
But none of these was needed, ap
parently. Her beauty commanded
some interviews which might have
been denied ordinarily, but they all
terminated in vague promises. She
was not the only beauuxul girl in
the city in search of work, she dis
covered.
Durlns that first week. Lynn had
made several calculations. She still
had a little money. Enough to take
her to New Orleans for instance.
Once there, she always would be
assured of food and shelter. And
Doti had promised that work would
be found for her if she insisted upon
being to industrious. But every
time Lynn considered that possibil
ity, her thoughts hastened to Jack
son Thorpe aad all he had crown to
mean to her. She had decided be
fore leaving the south that she
could not endure living all her life
where he was with Doti. And so
she turned resolutely away from
that possibility.
Something would happen soon to
establish her here wher ehe be
longed.' This deplorable situation
could aot continue forever. One
day, she waited for Susanna at her
lunch hour, seeking her youthful
companionship. Susanna was ae-
lighted at seeing her. And they went
for lunch to their favorite rendez
vous, the Fireside, where Lynn or
dered frugally.
-What's newT- Susanna de

"Nothing," Lynn replied. "I don't
think there ia a vacancy ia the whole
city. I've been everywhere.
"Gee. kid. that's tough. But
you're sure to get a brtt't soon."
"That's what I try to think every
day, but nothing happens."
"I found out why yea were let
eat." Susaaae ventured, after a mo
ment of silent consideration.
Lynn was alert and anxious.
"Why?"
. Oh. Lowry got himself a new
girl friend who needed a Job, I guess
so your going away for a week gave
him an excuse to work her in. She
isnt half ee beautiful as yon, but
she has a good figure, and of course
there's nothing better than a pull
like that, while it lasts."
"I wondered why he changed his
attitude so suddenly about my leav
ing," Lynn recalled. "Then it rave
him fust the opening he was looking
for, because he had no other reason
to discharge me. Well, that clears
ap a lot of things in my mind.
Thank yon for telling toe, Sasanne."
