BYE, BYE, BITTERNESS
By John Edwin I’ rice
In your personal job o f making
the most o f you it has doubtless o f
ten occurred to you that besides per-
f o i :: ing a surgical opera .ion on your
fears there is .¡ornething else which
should he eliminated. It sometimes
grows on the personality as an o ff
shoot o f fear.
If it hasn’t occurred to you there
being none o f it in you, then you
may hav read of it. I refer to, Bit
terness. If we cannot prove at once
our sup iority to the thing, person
or condition we fear there is a ten
dency to become embittered. To per
mit ourselves to become bitten with
bitterness doesn’t conquer anything
or spite anybody. It only makes sore
spots in the soul, and sometimes rr,
the body as well. The hurt o f holding
bitterness in the heart usually regis
ters in the face o f the one harboring
this crabby mental attitude.
We have been told that bitterness
causes tension o f nerves. Nerve ten
sion prevents organs and glands from
properly functioning. Loss o f sleep
is one of the penalties of harboring
bitterness. Loss o f appetite soon fol
lows loss of sleep and ere long the
health is broken.
Saint Paul was talking sense when
he said “ Let your clamor and bitter
ness and evil speaking be put away
from you with all malice.”

But the troubled soul finds it hard
not to hate. Plans have been frustrat
ed. Friends have helped the opposi
tion. Conditions have been unkind.
In such an hour the advice o f the
sages and seers has ever been “ Seel:
the quietness and power that comes
from communion with the spiritual
source o f your spiritual self.”
Havergal has admitted:
"Thou layest Thy hand on the fult-
tering heart,
And sayest ‘Be still,’
The silence and shadows are onlya
part,
,
O f Thy sweet will,
Thy presence is with me and where
Thou art,
I fear no ill.”
Along the same line George Fox
advises, “ Be still and cool in thy
mind and spirit from thy own thots,
and then thou wilt feel the principle
of God, from whom life comes; where
jy thou inayest receive His strength
and power to allay all blustering
storms and tempests. That is it which
works up into patience, into stayed
ness into quietness, up to God with
His power. Therefore be still awhile
from thy own thots, searching, seek
ing, desires and imaginations and be
stayed in the principle o f God in thee
that it may raise thy mind up to God
and thou wilt find strength in Him.”

The study revealed however tha>
before O: gon can compete in the
distant major consuming centers with
the prove-sing plants nearby, plants
in this state must be aide to produce
either a qual.ty superior enough to
command
!i! ■lie’- price or must pro
duce equal quality at lower cost so
at to compensate fo: the extra freight
charges.
The study was made principally in
connection with nine fruit and vege
table canning associations altthough
due consideration was given to 52
commercial canning concerns in the
state. It was found that with the ex
ception of corn and tomatoes the
pack o f Oregon fruits and vegeta
bles is marketed mainly outside of
the Pacific northwest.

BATTLE
Agriculture faces trying times.
Only one thing is certain. It will be
many a day before any substantial
measure o f stability or security is
again attained. The farmer like every
one else is being swept forward on
the crest of wartime economy. Costs
are rising around him like angry sea».
He is threatened by a labor trek from
farm to shipyard unless he pays wag-
ese few farmers can pay and stay in
business. The cost o f eveiything he
buys from wearing apparel to trac
tors is steadily inching upwards. The
farmer must in some measure meet
these rising costs by increasing the
selling pi ice o f his products.
There is no doubt that agencies
such as the farmer-owned marketing
cooperatives will play a vital part in
this life and death battle. Members
of the marketing co-ops have found
in the past that their maiketing pro
blems diminish remarkably when plac
ed in the hands of these organizations
o f their own making that have no aim
in view other than stable markets and
fair prices for farm products. They
will find them doubly valuable in the
future.

Contentment in old age isn’t sim
ply a matter o f a root over your
head and three meals a day. Content
ment involves above a,I else, the fac
tor o f independence, independence
from charity, from relatives, from
government relief. It means economic
self-security.
One o f the great tragedies of life
is the number o f men and women who
reach old age entiiely without finan
cial resources o f their own. They feel
that they are a burden to others even
though that feeling is not justified.
Today millions ol Americans are
making certain that this won’t be
their lot. They are building old age
security thru life insurance and other
systematic savings plans. In old age
these far sighted people will really
know the meaning of contentment.
F o o d P r oc essin g Industry
Await s M ar ke t Outlets
Profitable market outlets are the
key to further development of the
canned or processed fruit and vege
table industry in this state according
to an extension report on “ Some Eco
nomic Considerations o f Marketing
Oregon Fruits and Vegetables Thru
Cooperative Canning Associations,”
just issued as station bulletin No.
177 at Oregon state college. The re
port is the result o f a thoro study
made by Dr. D. B. DcLoach associate
agronomist o f the experiment sta
tion and Charles \V. Peters research
assistant.
The production of fruits and ve
getables for canning and cold pack
ing has increased rapidly in Oregon
as this enterprise fits in well with
the soil and climatic resources o f this
state and with the need for produc
ing agricultural products o f high val- ;
ue in relation to transportation costs
The production o f these crops is now
carried on commercially in 18 of
Oregon’s 36 counties. Nine o f these
counties are in the Wil lairette val
ley. three are in southern O.ego.i, two
in the Columbia basin and four are
farther east.
This industry is especially signifl.
cant in the future development of
the state since those crops requite
an intensive use o f land and an ex
tensive use o f labor and therefore
are suited to small farming units, the
authors point out. Oregon is particu
larly favored by the ability to pro-
