It is poinp to nqiiuT m.is-charac-tf-r
ard mass-iritoni pence behind any
erfranixntion to make it powerful
enouph to influence markets and pet
for producers what is theirs. An or
franizat;oft of producers wr.ich has no
further interest in trie movement
than what each individual pets out
of it in debars and cents, doesn't us
ually last ionp or pet very far. It
neds cooperative reiipion to put them
over needs members who read and
study; who attend meetings; who will
pet out and bustle; who support the
organization every week in the year
with trade, capital and pood will and
who everlastingly urge others to do
likewise. When enough of this kind
of farmers bunch up, then co-operation
will get the same kind of results
that business combinations pet, but
so long as they play the entirely sel
fish game; so long as they fall for tha
bait of temporary higher outside
prices and desert their union; so long
as they let the interests that prey on
them break them up and keep them
blindly competing with each otner,
just so lor?g will co-operation fail.
The Northwest Wheat Growers'
Association has recently suspended
operations in Oregon and Washing
ton. The growers would not stand by
not enough of them. One hundred
per cent benefit cannot be had with
10 per cent support. So ti e organi
sation lets go. while the same kind
of an organization in Oklahoma eoes
ahead. Oklahoma started with three
and a quarter million bushels signed
up. The second year this was doub
led and this year the association will
.control ten million bushels. This is
co-operative progress. Three Kan
sas associations have combined and
they will be a big factor in the mar
keting of the state's wheat crop.
Labor is becoming a very strong
co-operative organization in the na
tion, because iaborers are thinking
together and acting as they think.
Tcey are able to a very large extent
to set the scale for a days' work and
get it.
Manufacturers and other big deal
er! own and control their own sell
ing agencies and handle their goods
all the way through to the retailer.
They no longer permit middle inter
ests to make two dollars off of one
that they get. They reap the middle
profits themselves. They are organ
ized, and they stick, almost to the
last man. The last man doesn't last
long unless he does stick.
In ail industries except farcr.ire the
owten cf the commodity bav a hand
ir the selling end and the price. W hen
the farmer sells a commodity, the
buyer names the price. The farmer
is not a party 10 the deal. He pro
duces and takes what is offered as to
the price, and the buyers are strong
ly organized- They can to a large
txtent regulate both demand and
supply.
Oregon Bankers Will
Aid Farm Development
Oregon bankers expect to keep in
touch with agricultural conditions in
every part of the state in the next
year and initiate programs of agri
cultural development as a part of the
broad plan outlined by the agricultur
al committee of the Oregon Bankers
associaiton, and adopted at the con
ference at O. A. C. under the auspices
of the agricultural commission of the
American Bankers association. The
state has been so divided into nine
proups that the work may more ef
fectively be carried on.
The group arrangement is to enable
each member of the agricultural com
mittee to have an active part in the
work. By the assignment of a defi
nite territory he is expected to be
able to go ahead with tht program
which in his judgment is best adapt
ed for his region. Every member
will be expected to send the chairman
periodic reports of what has trans
pired in his county.
Three meetings of the agricultural
committee of the bankers' associa
tion are planned for the year. One
of these will be at the time of the
Pacific International Livestock expo
sition in Portland, possibly in con
junction with the agricultural com
mission of the Washington Bankers'
association. Another will be in
southern Oregon early in 1925, and
the third, in central or western Ore
gon sometime in the Spring. The

The Willys-Knight sleeve-valve engine is
the most powerful engine of its 6ize ever

tushiw tht EXTRAS
to tht newsies
Probably the only type of automotive
equipment that is driven harder than a
fire engine is the truck or auto that de
livers the papers to the newsies and news
stands. It's worth noting that Zerolene "stands
up" in this sort of service as well as in
all others. The Business Manager of the
"Spokesman-Review," of Spokane,
Wash., writes as follows:
"For more than ten years we have continued to use
Zerolene oils and greases in our sixteen cars and
trucks nd three motorcycles. These carry our pa
pers every day in the year over all sorts of roads in
all kinds of weather, and may be classed as very
hard service."
Why pay tribute to the superstition
that "eastern" oil is "better" just because
it costs more? Zerolene, made
by our patented high-vacuum
Fntoo iiuui beiewieu west
ern Naphthenic Base Crude,
deposits less car Don, increases
the gasoline mileage of your
car, and lengthens its work
ing life.
Insist on Zerolene a bet

less.
