Does It Run On Kerosene?
PHE most important feature of a farm power
engine today is the fuel it uses.
That, more than anything else, determines
its usefulness and economy.
At present prices of gasoline and kerosene, you
could not afford to accept a gasoline engine as a gift,
if you had to use it.
You could better afford to pay a big premium for a
Mogul kerosene engine.
See the Mogul work on kerosene. Ask your dealer
to show you the difference in fuel cost between a
Mogul in any size from 1 to 50-H. P., and a gasoline
engine of the same size. The figures will surprise
you.

Rapidly forces are being brought
together for support of an Oregon ru
ral credit system. There is expecta
ticn that a measure will be adopted
at the November election. The rural
credit systems of other countries
have been anulyzed for ideas applica
ble to the necessity of Oregon farm
ers for cheap money on long time.
The comments made in the article be
low by J. D. Brown, president of the
Farmers' Educational union for Ore
gon and Idaho, and member of the
state credits conference committee.
are the product of long study and an
alysis. ay J. D. Brown.
It is only too evident to those ac
quainted with rural life and condi
tions in Oregon that the farmers are
laboring under handicaps that must
be removed before agricultural indus
try will become prosperous, and the
farmer and his family become con
tented and self respecting. The earn
ings of the average farm are so low
that when overhead expenses are de
ducted there remains only such a
small income that even rigid econ
omy fails to provide more tljan the
absolute necessities of life.
I do not hesitate to say that a
large percentage of our' farmers are
living below the recognized standards
of our twentieth century needs. It
does not help matters to say that the
farmer is thriftless, lazy and ineffi
cient, I have heard this statement
made by one who Is engaged in the
uplift movement among farmers. If
the statement were true, there would
still be an opportunity to look for
fundamental causes.
However, It would not be difficult
to prove that the farmer Is the most
industrious, efftcent worker we have,
and as such Is entitled to such re
wards as will provide for him the
comforts and some of the luxuries of
life. Without such rewards life on
the farm becomes an unremitting
grind, resulting In discouragements,
driving to the cities the more ambi
tious and self-respecting and even
tually bringing decay upon the soil,
the primary source of a nation's
wealth.
Oregon has come to her crisis. It
must be agricultural development or
industrial decay. The hard working
and the willing working people of
Oregon must have an opportunity to
break the chains of hard living.
Without this opportunity we have
economic waste. Not only does the
individual suffer, but organized so
ciety suffers for its Improvidence,
both in its moral and material well
being. As the agent of society, the
state has a distinct duty to perform, ,
not only must it protect the individ
ual, but it must encourage industry
and thrift by supplying the means to
make industry most effective.
So iar as agricultural development
is concerned, no greater need exists
than a system of rural credits that
accomodates the farmer on terms
that the peculiar conditions of his
industry can afford. Since the aver
age net income for farm investments
in Oregon does not exceed 7 per cent,
including the farmer and his family's
labor, It follows that there can be no
development of our unused lands, at
rates of interest that are now avail
able for farm, loans. Under our pres
ent system we can expect no develop
ment except what comes through the
half paid labor of the farmer's own
efforts, when the regular work of the
farm is not pressing.
The progressive commonwealths of
Australia, New Zealand and Brtlsh
Columbia furnish to its farmers
credit at the lowest rates of Interest
for which credit may be had in large
volume, based on absolute security,
the Becurity furnished by the state.
Progressive Oregon cannot afford
to do less. Our farmers compete In
the free markets of the world with
these farmers from British Columbia
and Australia. The Oregon farmer
should be treated as well as his com
peting neighbor.
It must not be understood that
rural credits is a special grant to the
fanner, or in any way partakes of a
paternalistic act by the state. The
farmer must furnish double security
for all the accomodations he re
ceives. The state simply acts as an
agent in securing loans, and no un
dertaking of the state would be less
liable to entail loss.
Nor must It be understood that the
farmer is the only one that would
profit by such a system. Every class
would share the benefits and in the
long run the consumer is the one that
would receive the greater benefits.
The manufacturer would have better
markets. The merchant would have
better trade. The whole country
would be more prosperous because
the farmer was more prosperous.
Nothing spreads prosperity like a
prosperous farm community. When
the people of the state of Oregon un
derstand what rural credits mean to
the whole state, the enactment of a
law providing such a system will be
easy and certain. There should be co
operation on the part of all classes to
bring about this desired result at the
earliest opportunity. Our newspapers,
the first medium of education,
should realize their opportunity and
their duty.
In the adaptation of such a system,
it would be necessary for the state to
issue Its bonds after the farmer had
