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?
