The annual meeting of the Jose phine County Agricultural council told of tome good retultt obtained during the past year by the work of the county agricultural agentC. D. Thompson. . Through the work of this office about 13,600 were tared to the far mer of the county because of the cooperative shipping of live stock inaugurated during the last year. It 1 also estimated that $3,000 waa eaved to Josephine county farmer because of the cooperative feed and teed buying project development. The saving to the farmer because of this project amounted to more than twice the amount paid for the work of the county agriculturist agents' office, by the. county court during the year. The farmers ship ped a large proportion of their stock to the Portland market, cooperative ly, and thereby saved themselves a large amount of money previously paid to the local buyer. The coat of transportation and shrinkage In this shipment was found to be much lest than had generally been sup posed. The fact that the coopera tive shipping movement was in the . field also caused a very decided In crease In the price paid by local buyer to farmers for their stock The cooperative - feed and seed buying waa handled by a committee from the agricultural council with the county agricultural agent. Feed and teed were purchased at harvest time for the total year need of the farmers -who went in on this project. This feed and seed was secured and paid for in advance by the farmers, generally 86 per cent of the cost of the feed and seed be ing loaned to the farmers by the local banks. . This feed and seed was then stor ed In a warehouse rented by the co operation committee and each one paid for his feed and seed as It was taken out of the warehouse In ton lots. Thus a very material saving to the farmers .was made - without any chance of loss to any of the par ties concerned. The business of this cooperative committee Is now growing tfffsnch an extent that It was decided at this meeting to In corporate a cooperative association to handle the business of this and other cooperative projects In the county for the next year.

Thl one work alone would have more than paid for the expense of the county agri culturist office for a good many year. In many other waya the coun ty agriculturist movement baa been benefit to Josephine county dur ing the year and should become more valuable with each year's ex perience. COUNTY AGENT'S NOTES The food administration has fixed the price of bran and short at 130 and 131 per ton, f. o. b. Portland. Thl la a very material reduction on present prices and will bring these feeds down so that the farmer can afford to use them to excellent ad vantage, especially for dairy cows, since, on the other hand, the price of butter fat baa Increased 4c per pound. We are again reminded of the Im portance of Farmers' week this year Space will not permit the entire pro gram of the week. State wide corn and potato shows will be two of the features.

Why does l lie average American not salute the flagr asked R. O. Out cault, a Virginian who bus lived abroad for the last ten years, according to the Washington Post. 'On the dny of the draft pnrnde In Washington the only innn I saw mint Ing the regimental colors was a police. mun, probably un old soldier who liu learned the love and reverence which every mun who bus served feels fot the flng.

Nearly tvery Infantry division I provided also with a unit of cav alry whose strength varies according to th nature of the country In which the troops are operating.
