age farmers of other states have
obtained ap advantage over Ore
gon farmOTS and have flooded the
market to the detriment of all.
The circumstance brings to
mind a story told by W. J. Spill
man who attended the first wheat
league meeting ih Moro. It seems
that some early day agricultural
economist conceived the notion
that a good way to reduee the
cotton surplus would be to have
meetings held in each county in
the south and get cotton growers
to pledge a reduction in acreage
for the coming year. It was
found that these meetings were
very successful and
farmers
readily promised to cut down on
their cotton.
But nearly everyone went home
and reasoned. “Now if all the
farmers in the south are going
to take land out of cotton there
should be a good price for eot-f
ton next fall.’ and he went right
out and put as much land in cot
ton as he could The biggest crop
up to that time resulted.
Whether Oregon farmers have
been foolish for reducing w heat
acreage er fhrmers in other states
have been foolish for not reduc-
ing so is a matter for them to de-
eftde for themselves. It is reas-
ewsMy clear, however, that ths
promises to readjust the agricul
