The general outlook for the mar keting situation for 1927 is not much different from the past year, and the surplus problem is as yet unsolved. Cotton, corn, hay and beef have not been profitable products, while pota toes, eggs, butter, wool and hogs have had fair markets. The big surplus cotton crop of the south is reflected n Wisconsin and other sates in the cheese industry. The south has been a big consumer for middle west cheese, but with the big surplus and low price for cotton, this demand for dairy products has been materially decreased. The Labor Bureau reports lhat wages of industrial workers are on the increase, as are also average McAdoo Into Action v- f T I .111 VJ - .TXVdVWV U" ...VV East last week on private business but paused long- enough at New York and Toledo to talk a bit of politics, declaring himself in favor of abrogation of the two-third rule In Deraocratio conventions..

Spence, State Market Agent, who has been critically ill in the Sell- wood hospital for a month past, and who underwent a major operation on January 7, is steadily improving and will be able to leave the hospital in a few days. Many Small Co.Op. Associations. More than one half of the co-oper ative buying and selling associations of this country have memberships ranging below one hundred, accord ing to a survey of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Approximately 23 per cent of the total number which made reports had from one to 60 members each. About 10 per cent had from 200 to 300 members and less than three per cent of all had more than 300. Twenty nine per cent had from 61 to 100 and 39 per cent from 101 to 200 each. Organizations weak in numbers and volume of products can have but small influence in price determination and their overhead ex penses are certain to be too great for the volume of business. Cooperatives must have strength of number and product to be effective and co-operation must become a philosophy, a re ligion, between fanner members and their neighbors. Wheat Prospects Good. The wheat crop of eastern and cen .ral Oregon looks most promising for this time of year. . There has been plenty of enow and rain thus far and very little freezing damage is re ported. May Move to Salem. A legislative committee has recom mended that the office of the State Market Agent be moved to Salem and that the incoming market agent of ficiate a3 the deputy sealer of weights and measures. OREGON'S MOTHERS AND BABIES. From State Board of Health. Intelligent care of mother-to-be is a means of safegurading the lives of both mothers and babies in Oregon. There is an increasing consciousness in all civilized countries of the im portance of decreasing the heavy loss to the community due to the high death rate among mothers at child birth and among infants during the first year of life. Saving the lives of' others and babies is largely a mat ter of giving the mother and child a square deal. One of the greatest problems today is maternity and child SALT-SET We always carry- stock salt and sell it for a reasonable price.

Each year in the counties of Oregon there are about 800 deaths among children under a year old or approximately one out of every twen ty born alive. A better understanding on the part of the mothers of baby hygiene, baby care, and baby feeding, has cut down the death rate among older babies. Many little lives can be saved when the mothers are properly advised and cared for before the babies are born. Some interesting figures have re cently been published that are of in terest to every mother in Oregon. A survey made in 25 cities showed that S per cent had received proper in struction before their babies were born. Among these mothers there were no deaths. Among the other four thousand women who did not have such advice one woman in every 96 lost her life at the birth of her baby, and in this last group there were six times as many baby deaths ns fn the number born to mothers who had prenatal care. These figures are juBt as true in Oregon. Thous ands of mothers in this state have re ceived and are receiving advice and instruction through the Bureau of N'ursing and Child Hygiene of the State Board of Health. Oregon boasts of the lowest infant mortality in the United States. Many, many lives can be saved by providing an adequate service for the instruc tion and care of mothers and children. The Federal government will cooper ate in this work on a 60-60 basis. Ev ?ry state in the United States with several exception has some form of organized service for the conservation of the lives of mothers and children. When a state goes to improve its apple crop it begins in one or sev eral localities, does the best it can in these places and keeps other apple growers of the state informed about the progress made. Such undertak ings are called demonstrations, be cause they show how the thinr ii done. That is exactly the way Ore gon has gone about improving the crop of babies. At present there are five counties in this state that are providing an adequate and efficient health service to every community within their boundaries. Of course there must be funds to carry on and extend this work. The funds for this work are supplied en tirely through matching federal funds. Oregon has accepted federal funds to improve its crop in the fields and in the past two years it has also accepted them to improve the crop at heme. A Word from you to your legis lator will assist materially in obtain ing adequate funds with which to carry on the work of providing you with health protection.
