A WORD FOR THE FARMER.
TT HAS become the custom of certaiu flippant smart-
Alecs, both journalistic, remittance and otherwise, to
poke fun at the old timer, tho farmer and tho homesteader,
to caricature his careworn face and his "whiskers, to exag
gerate his uncouth and sometimes ungrammatioal dialect,
and to ridicule his homely garb. He is often unjustly la
beled "mossback," and certain newspapers make it a prac
tice to issue in their alleged funny sections, a page from
the "Brigville Bugle," or some such mythical sheet, a
take-off on the farmer a mighty feeble substitute for
wit.
The farmer is a producer, and plays the most important
role in the social fabric. Most of his traducers are para
sites, who live off his efforts who noither sow nor reap,
neither toil nor spin and, unlike the lily, are not oven
fair to look upon, but live by grafting the producers.
No state owes more to its pioneers than Oregon, and
none should hold them in higher esteem. They are not moss
backs a mossback is the synonym of tho improgressive
aud naught but the most progressive dared the dangers
of the wilderness none today but the progressive leave
the monotony of the humdrum village or city life to cre
ate a home in the isolated wilderness. The pioneers made
possible the development of today, and many of them will
be found working shoulder to shoulder with the newcom
ers for the greater development of tomorrow.
Because a man wears whiskers, does not make him a
mossback neither does the fact that he does not wear
smart clothes. A man's occupation causes him to adopt
the most practical methods, and often renders dress pa
rade impossible. There are more smooth faced tight-wads
and mossbacks than are whiskered ones, and age was nev
er a bar to progress.

In selecting Charles TT. "Wilmeroth as manager the
Rogue River Eruit and Produce association has evidently
made a good start. He is an experienced commission man
and for many years familiar with the marketing and sale
of fruit in eastern markets.
One thing only remains to make the new exchange the
most powerful factor for prosperity in the valley and the
best guarantee of an orchard's being a profit producer,
and that is the co-operation of every grower in it.
Other fruit districts have learned by bitter experience
the value of co-operation, and so have local growers, who
have been at the mercy of commission men. They might
secure good prices, or they might not. It is to eliminate
the gamble that the association has been organized, thus
assuring the small producer as fair a show as the large
one.
The association will assure uniform pack and scientific
marketing, and investments in orchard property are far
more secure than they were.
Ifsome means can be devised for permanently retaining
