But the gains ot tne past three jean have almost offset the losses of the previous twenty, and experts predict the 1910 high will soon be passed. Also there are millions of part-time workers In cultivating truck gardens who never did so be fore. This has meant a marked change In . long-established buying habits and has also added materially to surplus stock Jams of agricultural products coming Into Hew York New York concerns dealing In food and dairy products are watching Rus sia with something more than an academic eye. Soviet persecution of the kulaks has led to the deliberate destruction of half the normal quan tity of Russian livestock and poultry. It would take many years of inten sive breeding to get It back to nor mal. Meanwhile it Is expected that Russia will have to do heavy Im porting to make up the food deficiency. Peter Bogdanoff. head of the Rus sian Amtorg Trading company tn New York, held a meeting last week with the consuls of several European nations at New York, to discuss pros pects of United States recognising Russia. He stated that recognition was certain within the next six months and explained the special concessions which Moscow Is prepar ed to make. The purpow of the meet ing was to establish that none of those contemplated concessions the United States would Interfere with American trade of the respec tive European nations. Mechanical ingenuity has been spurred by the depression. An ex ceptionally large number of patents have been granted and applied for fn the past two years, and a much larger percentage than usual are filed In the names of big corporations in stead of penniless Inventors. Styling Is coming in for a lot of attention. You never think of pumps or of heavy work socks as affected by style, but manufacturers of these articles have found their markets greatly Improved by giving heed to sightly qualities.

FIGHT FOR FAIR BI RATES OR RUINJNDUSTRY (Continued from Page One will be cheaper for the grower to de stroy his crop than to ship it. Such fight can be successful only through a thoroughly aroused and or gaslzed public opinion and the exer tion of every possible influence, politi cal, personal and financial. . At this time an effort la being made to obtain crop production loans for this -valley from the regional agricultural corporation a subsidiary of the reconstruction finance corpo ration and I believe that effort will be successful to a limited extent. But granting eves that every orchard may obtain a loan sufficient to produce a crop, what will be the situation of the grower at the end of tee year, tf his pears do not sell for enough money to meet the transportation charges and repay the government loan? The outcome Is plain enough the railroads will have the money, and the grower will have another load of debt hung around his neck. This question affects every man In Jackson csnmiy, whether fee grows pears or not. Bear in mind that we are not ask' ing the raiircads to take a loss in order to help us, out to accept smaller PROFIT in order that we may survive and continue to pay them. The point of view the policies, the mentality of the management of the Southern Pacific railroad are essen tially the same now as in Collis P. Huntington's time, and can be changed temporarily only by an aroused, angry, fighting public opin ion. It has been done before and can be dons again. As an alternative we can be philosophical, and smile Mind take It on the chin. GORDON VO0RHXC3. Medford, December iff.
