FARMERS’ UNION GROWTH
The splenid growth of the Partners’ Union
during the two years it has been started in Lune
county proves it is filling a demand for organ­
ization among the farmers. The union is a
foundation on which farm life in the Willamette
valley and elsewhere can be made more pros-,
perous and happy. In this age when every line
of endeavor is organized the farmer must also
be in order to gain proper recognition and just
treatment.
From the strides the Farmers Union is making
in strengthening the organization and buying
and marketing there w ill likely be forty or fifty
locals aud two or three times the membership
within the next two years.

WERE EATING MORE MEAT
Uncle Sam's folks are eating about 18 pounds
more meat a year than they were consuming
five years ago. During 1923 the total amount
of meat consumed in the United States was
18.481,000,000 pounds. We got away with t>,-
918,000,000 pounds of beef; 873.000,000 pounds
of veal; 574,000.000 pounds of mutton and lamb;
3,000,000 of goat, and 10,113,000,000 pounds of
pork. The total represents an increase of 2,000,-
000 pounds over the average of the last five
years.

She replied that she could not help It, as the girl was
