At s revert nu-e tin.fr of a number
of reruton wheat growers to talk
over the matter of selling or holding,
vnt of the farirers c:Tered this ftd-vi(-:
"When wheht gets around fl.25
to grower, it set-ms to me it is
th : n.r to sell, r.ot alt, but a part
of hi crop. Tr.i? is a f airly safe
pro; (.sU;cn for the grower either way
(he ir.arkrt pes. If it falls, he has
p!H-.d safe on a part of his crop; if
it goes hifher. he has half of his crop
v't to and has not lost anything
on the erst deal. Then, too. this
wruid ao rruch to rfguiate the mar
ket and stabilize it. With half the
crop heid back, the speculators would
rot be able to pull off any very wild
deals. If there were compact organ
isation and co-operation with wheat
growers, such general action would
be a power for safe and profitable
mnrkets.
Wheat may go to $1.50 per bushel
net to the farmers, as many of them
expect it wiii, or ft drop may come
and farmers may again have to seli
beiow the cost of production, but if
every bushel harvested this year net
ted the farmer $1.50. the trouble with
agriculture would not be cured. The
trouble place is between the manu
facturer and his workmen on one side
ftr.d the farmer on the other. The
cost of this midd'.e road is too big,
the farmers simpiy can't pay it and
stay on the farms. There has got to
be more than a high-price-of-wheat
remedy. A retail market price of $3
for which the producer received but
$1 is ft load that is surely breaking
his back. It is a system under which
the farmer is asked to work for less
and less so that a greater army of
middle interests may live on the be-twefcn-profits.
If farmers were as tightly organ
ised as manufacturers they could
speedily remedy this trouble, as many
of the manufacturers are now doing.
They could be their own middle men,
their own wholesalers, brokers and
commissions, and absorb the distrib
uting profits. But the farmers are
not so organized and it will be a long
time before they will be, ftnd until
such time as agriculture is able to
hold its own under the organization
system, it woujd seem to be the duty
of municipal, state and national gov
ernments to intervene and stop the
exploitation.
The United States census bureau
gave the total of Oregon farm mort
gages as $51.99.17$ in the year 1920.
Plate Treasurer Jefferson Myers gives
the tola! now as $:jh.XK),O0O an in
crease of I4S.000.000 in four years,
112.000.000 a year. And in the face
of these figures men and money are
working hard to defeat the law passed
by the last legislature forbidding the
manufacture of counterfeit butter in
the state. "Dairying has been the
straw that many of us farmers have
hetd up on for some time past,"
writes a farmer to the state market

9e 'Rancher, too,
prefers ZEROLENE
Not just because it is an economically priced
oil, but because it lubricates better every type
of farm equipment, from a tractor to an auto
mobile. Big users, who can afford to test out the
merits of different oils experimentally, refuse to
pay tribute to the superstition that "eastern" oils
are in some mysterious way "better" why
should you?
The Natomas Company. of California, which
operates 10 automobiles, 3 five-ton trucks, 9 Ford
trucks, 3 Best Tracklayer Caterpillars, I Holt
Caterpillar, and 2 stationary gas engines, and also
uses Zerolene on the bearings of 9 irrigation
pumps, writes as follows:
