Since our last report. our farmers
have assembled in their several dis
tricts. and organized Clubs, associating
themselves together not only tor the
Interchange Of ideas on the best modes
Of farming. etc, but for mutual aid
and protection. So far as reported to
Us. these Clubs, some four or five In
number. embracing among their mem-
hers the most experienced and wealthy
farmers in the county, have resolv-
ed with hardly dissenting voice. to
erect their own warehouses IN which
TO store their grain. There Is. we be-
lieve. a proposition on foot for the sey-
eral Clubs In the county to unite In the
erection Of a mammoth warehouse and
wharfat Astoria. ground having been
offered them Mt that point on the most
advantageous terms. The completion
Of the Locks and Canal at falls Of the
Willamette, will enable them to ship
grain direct to Astoria, thus sayingim-
mense sums heretofore paid for liter
age. etc. Our farmers have gone to
work with an apparent determination
Of making themselves masters Of the
situation placing themselves ina sit
nation to demand and receive the high
est attainable price for their products
for the future. Whatever is intended
to benefit the farming community viii
conduce to the general welfare, and
we are at al lltilnes willing TO aid, with
all the power we may possess, the fur
therance Of such objects. Plans for
tIle attainment Of desired ends should
be thoroughly and completely canvass
I'd and fully matured, so that when the
actual work Is commenced there win
be no lingering doubts or questions Of
feasibility to rctarl the vigorous pros
eciitiOn tOa successful issue. We shall
refer to this matter as often as occasion
may require.
