CAMP FOLLOWERS
OF PUBLIC HEALTH
From time immemorial armies were
followed by men and women who ca
tered to the baser appetites of sol
diers. These camp followers added
nothing to the comfort and well-being
of the armies; instead they were
always a prolific source of trouble
vni of disease. In the World War the
number and activities of these para
sites were greatly curtailed for the
reason that educated public opinion
recognized their destructive vicious
ness. In its fight gaainst disease the vast
army of public health workers have
also been followed by men and wom
en who, in their parasitic activities,
resemble the camp followers of old.
They are much more vicious, however,
for they prey only upon the sick and
the infirm. They exist because public
opinion tolerates them.
These modern camp followers know
little or nothing of the anatomy of
the human body, have not even a nod
ding acquaintance with the medical
sciences, and yet they profess to cure
all ailments, acute or chronic, Infec
tious or non-infectious. They snatch
at the crumbs discarded at the way
side by scientific workers, add mys
tery, leven with fear, and finally offer
tc the receptive public half-baked
truths and pseudo-scientific facts.
People suffering with headache, with
colds, with rheumatism, with epilep
sy, with tuberculosis, or with, cancer,
are all promised relief and cure by
uping several bottles of this or that
"medicine," or by taking a "course
of treatment" with this or that elec
trical contraption. The same "medi
cine" or "treatment" which makes
you fat is guaranteed to make you
thin.
Deaths from cancer in Oregon in
1925 totaled 931; deaths from organic
heart trouble, 1487. How many of
these deaths were hastened by the
camp followers of medicine it is hard
to estimate. It is equally hard to es
timate the thousands of dollars paid
to these harpies by their victims.
This loss in life and in money is a
loss Oregon can ill afford.
The camp followers of public
"liealth can be exterminated. Educat
ed public opinion can do it.
State Market Agent
Writes About Poultry
Since 1880 the poultry industry of
this country has grown four-fold,
while the population has only a little
more than doubled. Nearly two bil
lion dozen eggs were produced last
year. The Department of Agriculture
says that if the poultry business con
tiues to increase, considerable of the
products will have to be exported to
find markets.
Past records show that when al
most any business is profitable, thous
r.nd go into that business and stay in
it until the limit of consumption is
reached, then drop out as prices and
profits fall. If the experts in the De
partment of Agriculture are correct
in the hint that the poultry business
may be soon overdone, and that we
may have to look to foreign markets
for our BUrplus, the question is will
the foreign price fix the home price
as it does on wheat, cotton and other
agricultural products? If so, the big
poultry industry of the nation is due
for its turn in depression.
More and more the fact is forced
onto us that this country cannot
long maintain its present high stand
ard of living unless production is
largely limited to the country's needs.
Other nations of the world are on a
much lower living and wage basis. If
we sell our products to them the price
must be on their living basis on
their ability to pay. Their price is re
flected in this country and becomes
a factor in determining the home
price. Manufacturers are well organ
ized and are able to control and re
strict production. Agriculture is not,

of a 200-pound hog. If hogs are f 12
a hundred a good pig should be valued
at from $7 to $8. These figures are
from the 0, A. C, and while- some
things, such as the thriftiness and
size of the pigs and the probable fu
ture price of feeds and hogs, enter in
to the calculation, yet it gives a sort
of a basis to figure on.
Fighting to Force Prices.
The cotton growers of 'he south
are fighting to hold back bales already
grown and pledge planters o curtail
production 25 per cent in the future.
The Canadian wheat growers have a
powerful organization to hold their
grain, and regulate production. The
corn growers of the middle west are
asking congress to provide some
means to guarantee a fair price for a
full crop, under threat to restrict pro
duction and to upset present tariff
schedules on manufactured articles.
Many other organizations are taking
similar actions to restrict production.
On the other hand city consumers
say that present farm products come
to them at so high prices that con
sumption has to be restricted to nec
essities, and they ask what will hap
pen if farmers restrict their crop
yields to the point of forcing higher
prices? The solution should be work
ed out with organizations of consum
ers and retailers cooperating with or
ganized farmers in taking products
more directly from the farms and
eliminating the many middle costs
and profits. But so long as wages re
main high the workers will not wor
ry, and so long as the retailer can
pass the middle costs along he will
not worry, and so long as the farmer
has to produce at less than cost, it
seems that all he will do is to worry.
Organization will come some day
when necessity forces hard enough.
