STANDARDIZED PRODUCTS
During a recent tour of Oregon by
the members of the Irrigation and
Reclamation Commission of the Na
tional Congress, having as its object
the development by the Federal Gov
ernment of some of Oregon's more
desirable projects, the question of over-production
of agricultural products
was introduced.
Undoubtedly in large areas of one
crop sections in the United State3,
there is a certain over-production
but there are many facts tending U
show that the undesirable condition
of agriculture in the United States
today is not due so much to over
production of a limited number of
our agricultural products as it is to
lack of standardized products and in
telligent distribution.
According to the figures of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, com
piled by W. G. Ide, Manager of the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce,
during the year 1926 agricultural
imports into the United States ex
ceeded agricultural exports by $21,
789,000. A large number of these
products that were imported comes in
direct competition with the Oregon
farmer.
One of the proofs that Oregon
might profit largely by organized
business methods introduced into the
farming industry, is shown in our
neighboring State of Idaho increased
their shipments from 1921 to 192C,
during the great agricultural defla
tion of 1921 and subsequent years, by
intelligent standardized production
and distribution.
tThe splendid increase was possible
because of organization among tha
farmers and the production of stand
ardized products fed into channels of
distribution at times when the mavk
et required these products and a fair
price could be obtained.
Regulation of production of cer
tain commodities is desirable but
more important still is to thoroughly
organize, standardize, merchandise,
and advertise.

HOOTCH, HUGGING, HASTE
Safety-first slogans have been adop
ted by the state highway department
of Ohio in an effort to reduce motor
accidents. The three "H's" Hootch
Huggin Haste cause 75 per cent of
the motor accidents. Some of the
slogans are:
(1) Don't try to scare locomotives
with your horn.
(2) A road hog roots up macadam
with his nose.
(3) Our roads arc wide and smooth
don't burn them up.
(4) Death is so permanent take
a minute or two at those dangerous
railroad crossings.
(5) Tragedy in seven wolds: Speed
increases, breath ceases, rest in
pieces.
(6) Horse sense as well as horse
power should enter into the operation
of motor vehicles.
(7) Live to ride another day by
obeying signs they mean what they
say.
(8) Drive with care you mny meet
a fool.
(9) A reckless driver is a criminal.
(10) Keep your hands on the wheel
let your girl hug herself.

In an editorial the Weston Leader
discloses the fallacy of "laying off"
the annual potato; show at that place
this year merely because of the fact
that the certified seed crop is light.
The Leader takes the stand that the
products of Weston soil in the main
are as good this season as ever, and
that letting the exhibition slide over,
would be a detriment to market fa
cilities for the local potato grower in
the future. The fact that other lo
calities would be quick to reap the
prestige accrued to Weston growers
through advertising given their prod
ucts in shows of the past, should
have suffienct weight to line up uni
versal support for a show this year.
Slipping a cog now and then is not
keeping everlastingly at it.

Bruno Weber, whose arm was

few days ago, is on the street with
his arm in a sling. He says that he

Weber would have lost his arm. It

able to use his arm a little.
