"I nm a native son of Anplegato valley and havo seen Jack son county develop from small settle ments to a country with cities and factories with nuirket for our products over tho whole world.

I In general, deer hunting has be-; corno , more of a tusk than early In; tho season, as the deer for tho mostj part have -moved higher up in tho mountains. , So far, the largest deer killed In i Jackson county was a 185 pound j buck brought down by Chaunceyj Florey on Mike Hanloy's ranch sev-j oral days ngo, which had a 2!)-; inch spread of horns. Deer on this' ranch have now become very scarce! because of having been frightened i away by hunters since tho season) opened. j A larger deer, a' mule tail, was; brought down by a Medford hunterf recently In Klamath county, but soj far Florey holds the prize for Hlznbio Jackson county deer. "Agriculture Is sadly out of gear with the other parts of the structure. Tho main cause of this Is generally conceded to be the disparity between prices of the things tho farmer has to sell and the prices of those things ho must buy. "Agrlculturo finds Itself with Its millions of momhers freely competing nmong themselves while it is obliged to sell Its products In a highly organ ized nnd commercial world. Now If the farmers are to put themselves on torms of equality with the great In dustries of the country, they too, must organize." ' i CHICAGO, Sept. 18. (A. P.)
