cooperation among producers of basic commodities.

For the first time in the memory of the present generation
were here Sunday
the farmers have a marketing organization that is primarily inter
ested in the welfare of the growers themselves. It is composed
of the growers and the interest is self interest.
This action will make it possible for every member of the
grain growers to receive 3 cents per bushel more at Wasco, 4.2
cents per bushel more at Moro and 4.8 more per bushel at Grass
Valley and Kent than they would have received under the old
rate
With wheat selling at about 30 cents this is an increase of
from ten to fifteen percent all due to cooperative effort and the
power that a large organization can wield
For years producers have been trying to establish some form
of cooperation that will be strong enough to make the farmers a
factor in the marketing end of putting their goods in the hands of
consumers. Each movement has been more successful than the
previous one and it is possible that some day growers and pro
ducers will be able to control their own markets, eliminating gam
bling in food stuffs and really obtain a profit for themselves.

HOLD IT
f
Perhaps a way, or combination of ways, will be found to en
able farmers to hold their wheat this year instead of sacrificing it
at the price now offered.
There has been several encouraging statements from men
who are connected with the agencies that hold many of the mor-
tages on wheat in this county. The land banks, the Federal Re
serve banks, local banks and all other companies who will acquire
wheat through the mortgage route this year will derive little bene
fit from it if they sell it at the present prices. The wheat would
not pay their interest in some cases and would leave- absolutely
nothing for the farmer to continue operations with
The individual fanner who wishes to hold wheat off the mark
et for a better price may borrow on his wheat receipts from the
North Pacific Grain Corporation if he is a member of his local co
operative. This agency will loan 75 percent of the value of the
wheat and will hold th« wheat in the local warehouse where it will
not be put into the channels of trade until sold.
Jf at all possible some means must be devised to hold wheat
from the market until the price advances to a reasonable level.
Twenty five and thirty cents per bushel for wheat at country ware
houses is barely enough to pay tor the harvesting. Wheat is non-
perishable and will not deteriorate in quality if kept for a few
months and it most certainly omnokdropjguch in price. Little
or nothing can be lost by holding arid It is probable that a reason
able price can be obtained.

Grass Valley citizens received a CHmpiiWnt on their hospital

being particuhrily pleased with the reception the Grass Valleyites
gave him and members of the crew.

The argument over the advisability of combining the Universi-

Essential Factor
Never before in the history of the
country was it possible to get such
bargains.
People are appreciating these price
too.
Their Money Goes Farther
Service is the most important re
quisite at the time of funerals. With '
this in mind Zell’s Funeral Home has '
built up their prestige over the years
they have been in business in this
territory.
If desired they arrange for the
minister, procure the flowers and
care for them and make the other ar
rangements for the funeral without
trouble or worry on the part of those
who because of sorow do not care to
have contact with others-
Services are conducted with every
regard for the feelings, and in accord
with the wishes of the family of the
deceased- It is this understanding
effort that has brought the popular
ity of this house of friendly service.
