For Oregon Products
A hundred manufacturers, distributers and retailers
are expected to attend the meeting called for tomorrow by
Governor Meier to stimulate Oregon industries and Oregon
business. The executive will outline a program to increase
the turnover for Oregon business by demand and use of Ore
gon products.
The effort, which is a continuation of the campaign long
. conducted by the manufacturers, by the Greater Oregon as-
sociation and other organizations, is most commendable, but
' its success lies largely with the consumer, though of course
jobber and retail cooperation will aid. If the spirit of loyal
ty to Oregon could be instilled in the public, selling as well
as buying, as the California spirit has been in the golden
state, Oregon industry would be immensely stimulated, pay
rolls increased and the balance of trade turned in the state s
favor.
The average merchant, whether running a department
store, a cnain group or independent store naturally buys
where and what he can buy cheapest and sells what he can
make most profit on. Only consumer demand forces the
carrying of other than the most profitable goods. This
consumer demand can be and is stimulated by advertising,
but the small manufacturer is necessarily handicapped by
lack of production volume and frequently neglects to create
demand by this most available method.
' The great chains and also the cooperative buying as
sociations of independents, depend for profits upon quantity
purchases, mass selling and extensive advertising. They
save in commissions, in freight rates and handling charges.
By contracting for the entire output of factories, they secure
prices the average Oregon manufacturer cannot meet, and
they force the sales of these more profitable articles. The
consumer demand compels the carrying of other stocks, but
they must be specified by the buyer, else they remain on the
shelves.
If the department stores, the jobbers and the chains
would place quantity orders with Oregon industries as they
do with eastern concerns, they would not only secure su
perior goods and lower prices but find it profitable to push
Oregon made commodities. If in addition local pride can be
aroused to stimulate consumer demand, the problem would
be solved.
There is no one in better position to push the campaign
for Oregon products, than Governor Meier, the biggest mer
ehandise buyer in the state. He can set an example for the
rest to. follow if he so desires.
Earwig Futility
The biggest fizzle yet recorded by our costly bureau of
entomology and agricultural experiment stations is tnetr
futile attempt to control the earwig. In the decade since the
nests appeared, they have excessively multiplied and now
overrun the northwest despite systematic campaigns costing
hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold them in cheoK and
bevond passing alonir formulas concocted by the federal de
partment of agriculture and advising additional costly poison
campaigns, hitherto ineffective, the bugologists seem neip'
less.
Some years aito the standard earwig poison of bran.
sodium fluoride and water, recommended by the Oregon
state college was extensively applied, with the result that
the earwigs grew fatter Bnd more numerous and evidently
thrived on the diet. Then the Seattle formula of Paris green
was oriven a trial, with similar results. Now the federal ex-
perts have concocted a new formula, consisting of 12 pounds
of bran, 1 pound of sodium fluosilicate and 1 quart of fish
oil, which is recommended as more attractive bait and more
deadly to the earwig.
The objection to spreading poison in any form is appar
ent. If not fatal to earwiirs. it kills many song and game
birds as well as poultry, natural enemies of the earwig, rab
bits and even dogs and cats, ana is imeiy to oe iatai to nine
children.
But there is hope that nature will assert its balance as
customary, ere long, birds, sucn as roooins, nave aiscov
wl the earwig: a delicacy and can be seen feeding them to
their voune as substitutes for earthworms. Even the disJ
ninpri Kntrlish snnrrow is learning to like them. The insecti-
ary pests that hold them in check in Europe are multiplying
and will soon take their deadly toll. In the meantime the
only places free from earwigs are those with a few chickens
about preferably in tne city, Daniams. uncus aiso are ear-
. wig eliminators.
Rank Ingratitude
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist
board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, and na
tional dry leader, declares that President Hoover is a "bitter
disappointment" to the prohibitionists wno lane crenn tor
his election. He declares: "Hoover is timid; the country re
quires courage. Hoover is slow to act; conditions require
speed." Assailing the president's practice of appointing fact
finding commissions, Wilson says: "It takes a year or so
for the commission to report and by that time it is too late
... .a t ,i j: n.
to do anything, or ne promptly rejects ineir liuuing.i. i -
tically every member of all his commissions is disgusted
! with him."
After all that Mr, Hoover lias done for the prohibition
ists, even to perverting tne adverse inuiings oi tne wiener
ham commission into a favorable dry report, this is rank In-
trrntitnde but it is typical of the fanatical drys. No one
'can suit them, no matter how much he plays the hypocrite

obeyed their orders, advocated more stringent laws, and
given them all tne millions oi ptiuuc money a., irue, ne
hasn't called out the marines, as Dr. Wilson advocated, but
he has provided them a good sized army and the fifth largest
navy in the world.
Yet Dr. Wilson announces that the drys will support
Mi. Hoover against any wet democrat, so Hoover should
worry. '

LITTLE PULLING OF
FLAX UNDERWAY
With flax harvest getting under
way it 1a reported there will be very
little pulling of flax if any, and that
many growers are cutting down
their flax like hay because of the
short stand due to seasonal condi
tions. It is estimated by one grower
that the flax wUl average around
from 24 to 30 Inches and that there
will be very little top length flax.
An estimate places the acreage at
around half of last year. 1
