Do you know that the f Incut wheat
In Klamnth county'
Do you know that wheat Is made Into flour by Klamath rounty cap
ital, giving employment to Klamath county workmen?
Io you know that In manufacturing that wheat Into flour, tlie farm
rr la helped, and be In tarn help the business man, the banker and
every other resident In the ctmnty7
lint what do you find If you go further?
You ,will find carload after carload of flour I coming into KU
math county; when not a single) sack of imported flour should be sold.
Vim will find grocers pushing the sale of this Imported flour. You
Will rind business men using It. Tow will find no effort to push the
local product? notwithstanding tbe fact Uiat it will bear comparison
ami sianu up aiongsiue or any onicr nonr in the united Htatea,
When yon buy a sack of floor that la not manufactured here, you
Injure the local manufacturer, take money out of the pocket of the
local workman, limit the market for the formers' wheat and lend a
potent and powerful Influence toward helping; produce the stagnation
that today Is making: the condition of tho farmer a hard one.
And liow about the farmer7 He doea not send awny for. wheat, bnt
lie doe send away for flonr and he buys flour Hint U shipped in. lie
is doing it and has done It Jaat for the Mine reason that trie busbies
men buy and sell Imported flonr lie didn't stop to reckon the cost.
He did not stop to reallre that he w.-ta robbing himself.
If everyone In the county had iKtiiitht made In Klamnth flour, there
would have been a better mamrt tor Klamnth wheat. The farmers
would hare lioeii In a belter flnenrlal condition than they are today.
This Improvement would have lecn reflected In the payment of their
lave, bills, nolr nt the hank, tho purchuso of shoes, clothing, met
rhnnillM of eer description, sikIi, doors, lumlier and ao on to the
end, enabling the dealers la these rotmnodltlr to In turn follow In
tlie runners' footsteps, thns adding to the prosperity of the county and
Increasing the opportunities for trie employment of tho working man.
What N true about flonr 1 true about butter.
Thousands of pounds f butter Is shipped in hero annually. What
effect does this have upon the price paid for butter fat, the demand for
cream and the consequent Increase in tho number of dairy rattle la the
ronnty, their consumption of farm products and the added revenue that
flown into tho pocket of the farmer, to start on It travel over the
same road taken by the flonr?
"tet him who is without sin among you cast tlie first atone." There
Is not a person In the county, capable of mature thought who has not,
and few who are not, guilty, of traaagreMlng.
Think over tlie story of the flour and the butter and apply It to the
honey, and eggs, and sash, and doom, and flooring, and dozen of oth
er thtngH produced in KUmath county. Hee where you have trans
Brewed and where K ha directly- affected yuu. Yon will be astounded.
Wfi ""T"1 "KdmHag. .W.eTraonly odUng your attention to a
question that derrr your thoughtful consideration, knowing that If

"Tho station has found that under

be produced for oach 10 acres of
arm crops or ono for oach dairy cow,

hogs enn pick up enough of the things
that woild otherwise bo, and often
aro, nllowod o go to wasto to keep
thorn and fatten thom for tho pork
barrel."
Attontlon was also callod by tho
station man to a new form of foedlng
