K. Murdock, One of Seven Picked to Plan Market Association F. E. Murdock of the Monmouth Creamery bus been appointed on a committee of seven representatives of Oregon cicumericH to study the ques tion of maiketing with the purpose of devising a marketing association to to handle the products of any cream ery that cares to enter. Appointment was made by P. M.

Personnel of the committee is E. L. Martindale, Swift & Co., Portland; S. E. Wilcox, Fernwood dairy, Port land; 0. G. Simpson, Clear Creek creamery, Urtgon City; VV. r . Daw son, Albany Creamery association; F. B. Hockebougly, Marion Creamery as sociation, Salem; C. W. McLaughlin, Lower Columbia Dairymen's associa tion, Astoria. President Brandt, in his instruc tions to the committee, points out that any plan must include privately owned, farmer stock company, and pure co-operative creameries as the volume of surplus butter in this state is too small to permit any one class of creameries attempting to meet the situation alone. Jersey Calf Club at Etkina The Klkins Jersey Calf Club is the third one to reorganize for the year 1927, according to County Agent Heck, who was over to their meeting lout Saturday when they laid plans for the coming year. Jess Johnson has been chosen local leader for the boys and they have elected William McEldowney their president. Other members of the club are James Mc Eldowney, Earl Johnson, Sam Han- num and Ernest Schmidt. In years past some of the members of this club have made very creditable ccords with their animals and Mr. Johnson asserts that the boys are go ing to do even better this year. Enough members have been lined up for the Independence club by Sam ; McKee and Harold Keynolds and it is hoped that this club will be re- organized in the near future. At the meeting at Elkins last weekj several of the boys expressed the found to up wQrk of ate wish for a garden club so Mr. BeckjM M; Haryey Jn orchard tree and helped them organize. There are shrubbery spraying. Many Monmouth just five members with William Mc-; . . . . . Mr. Eldowney both as a member and local leader while Chester Smith is pres ident.

The last report from the county agent's office, which was early last week, about two thirds of the acreage of prunes, in Polk county had been reported on and the reports filed in his office. These are the reports of the prune survey which are being tak en to combine with the eastern mar keting studies for a report to the U. S. department of agriculture's bureau of economics on steps to correct some of the present marketing difficulties. Mr. Beck states that the growers and committeemen are responding in fine shape and nearly one hundred per cent report is expected. The- poisoning of gray squirrels is now opening up with vigor and in preparation for the annual campaign against this rodent, County Agent Beck has had mixed a large quantity of this poison which is available at the court house and will be distribut ed from various points in the county. Due to the fact that strychnine al kaloid is cheaper in price there will be more poison for the same amount of money and the bags will show a material increase in size over that of the past season. It is also ex pected that a more general poisoning will take place. In several of the communities there has been the com plaint made that there are -only a few poisoning and it does not seem fair that any man would expect a neighbor to poison his squirrels. A. N. Hansen and Ed Townsend of Salem were here on business Fri day afternoon. Ed Fleischman is driving a new Chevrolet coupe recently purchased of S. H. Halladay. Crowded Off Highway Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

The Modern Woodmen camp of Su ver is giving a' carnival dance in their hall St Patrick's night, March 17th POSTAL SERVICE A Village Becomes City as Far As Delivery of Mail is Concerned According to a dispatch in Wednes day's Oregonian, Monmouth has been advanced to the position of a full- fledged city as far as mail advantages are concerned. Department officials have notified Representative Hawley that they have ordered the village de livery system, now in effect, changed to city service. The change carries with it an addition in salary for the carrier. &aruer in the year the car rier, Mr. Partlow, was given a chance to go on as a substitute in Vancouver, but decided to stay here as regular. Now his judgment is justified. As a city delivery man he will doubtless have to wear a uniform and probably extend his daily circuit. While we may give ourselves city airs with a carrier in uniform, that is about all the advantage the change will make to us. The carrier's job gets a salary boost and doubtless any possible vacancy will be warmly con tested for. But actual delivery will remain as it is.
