The frtkniition will V-&ve about dixty pr fprit of the prowom under ffr rhent to market through the f-",(-iatir-ri, 90 the mamtpem itKte. Thry should have ninety per cent ifrried up. One big obstacle to co-operative meres, eerrwhere is that too few co-operate, that 25 per cent of pro ducer buy and hold the umbrella over the outside 75. Those on the outide pet the full benefit of the work and expense of the few on the ir.side. After a time they become dis eourajrod with carrying the expense load T)A doitg all the work, and they quit. Then the whole co-operative movement pets a net -back. Any producer, every producer, should be convinced by this time that the only chance he ha to compete with the rest of the country is to play the pftme as ''the rent of the country play it, and that is by com pact orfraniiation and control of pro duct. There are hupe profits made from apricuHural products, but they are made after they leave the grow er' hand, and are made by organiza tions that have no part in the work of production. The prune industry can be made profitable. There are abundant mar ket in the country for the entire production, but it will never be prof itable for the growers so long as they simply pick and dump. That i the situation the middle-handlers like that gives them their chance to make the profits the growers should have. The production of prunes in Ore gon is increasing and will increase for some years to come, as the many new orchards come into bearing. If there is any profit to accrue to the growers, it must come through or ganization and a selling plan that will distribute the fruit over the whole country, as the localities need it, and in the least expensive way. The crop must be taken from the hands of the middle agencies and speculators. The organization most supplant these. If enough of the growers realize these facts, the new selling organ. ration will amount to something. If enough of them are selfish enough to think they can stay on the outside let the organizers pay the expenses and do the work, while they get the rate price for their prunes, then will another attempt to help agriculture have failed. Farmers have the power to make tl.eir industry profitable. They pro duce what the world must have. By working together, selling together, standardizing and controlling their own business, they can get a large prrt of the profits that others now make off from them, and be content ed and prosperous. But until enough of them can think this way, and en ough of them will act this way, co operative movements will continue to fail, or function with little results. It needs &0 per cent of the growers of ft product to say "hands off" to the army of middle men. 7 ith such or ganization the farmers would be as powerful to get profit prices for their products as the shoe manufacturers are to get theirs. By this time farmers must realize that legislation will never restore their prosperity. It will take mass action and complete control of their product. When they supplant the hosts of middle men by their own organization and reach the head oi the big chain stores and other big buying concerns for their markets, they will be getting on. Ninety per cent organization is needed to do this kind of business. It is entirely up to the growers when this percentage of power shall come. THE FULL-TIME HEALTH UNIT From But Board of HcaJtfc. to the arvice c'ubs, c.vic organiza tion, and other, who are interested in public heaUh activities, than a fuil-tiffie health unit. It matters not what activmet you may have spon icrfd or Ht effort you may have devoted to public health work, your program is incomplete without a full time health unit for your county. As a result of the demonstrations carried on by the l S. Pubiie Health Service, the Kockefe!.er Foundation, the American Child Health Associa tion, and other agencies, it has been proves beyond a doubt that certain health measures pay. Hookworm dis ease, malaria, and typhoid fever can be eradicated, general and infant mortality rates can be cut in half, communicable diseases can be pre vented and the span of life can be in creased. In order that these results may be obtained, however it is nec essary that the activities of public health administration be placed in the hand of a permanent organiza tion, and executed by a trained per sonnel. This is represented by the full-time health unit. The full-time health unit is the latest development in the field of public health administration, and is becoming one of the most popular movements ever undertaken in a pub ic health program. Its objective is to provide and insure for the small rural districts an efficient, construct ive health service, such as has been enjoyed heretofore only by the larger cities. It is generally agreed that this cannot be accomplished by part time health service. The personnel of a full-time unit varies somewhat with the site and population of the county and the number of communities to be served. It generally consists of a medical officer, one or two public health nurse, one or two sanitary inspectors (where the conditions may demand, and a clerk or office assist ant. It has been found by experience that this is the ideal personnel for the average county. All members of the unit should be adequately paid and required to give their full time to the work. In this way the health activities of a county are placed on a businesslike basis and results may be expected. In 1914 there were only three full time units in the whole of the Uni ted States. Today there are two hun dred and fifty such units. The state of Oregon has three full-time units in operation and the prospects are good for several additional unit in the near future. Ta your county ene of these prospects? If not, why not? $:SH REWARD.
