The Seed Corn
- Campaign

An Iowa subscriber who fails
70 sign his name or give any clue
to his identity writes concerning
the seed corn question as follows;
The seed corn question seems
to b" ocHHerdone. Good seed is
needed this year as all will adj
nit, but how can the seed houses
get good seedif there was none
raised last year? Then he goes
on to say that one farmer in his
neighborhood has recently sold
1000 bushels of the 1910 crop to
his local dealer and the Local
dealer sold it to a seed house and
then adds: why not buy of the
farmer and get the corn in the
ear? You can select a better
quality in the ear than shelled.
There is plentyIof the 1910 crop
to be planted. There are other
things that need our attention as
we'll as seed corn. If our rail-
would find some way to get our
stock IN market on time / think
the farmer can look after the
seed cord question"
Our correspondent is not con-
sistent. ''sThs very purpose of
the seed corn campaign is to do
Just what he thinks Ought to be
done; mainly to get the farmers
to test their corn. The seed corn
trains direct attention to this
matter in a spectacular way and
get results when, if we simply
kept quiet as our friend evident
" would like to have us do, moth
ing would be done. What he
says.abOut getting live stock to
market is to the point. There
have been.Ehundreds of farmers
and shippers who have suffered
heavy lOsse&thiS year because OF
the failure of the railroads to
ship promptly, but this is no ex-
cuse for belittling the efforts of
the railroads to help in the seed
corn campaign. Let US be fair
and let US work with the rail.

MADE IN GRANTS PASS.

Certain people OF Grants Pass are
doing a work that should command
the respect of all residents of the
city and that Is the manufacture of
many articles of utility, such as har-
ness, sash, doors, frames and fruit
boxes, cement sewer and drain pipe
aLd cement blocks and bricks. There
are still others who manufacture
mission furniture and various other
articles Of Yirtu The making of
ali these things is Of great benefit
10 the town and is resulting in the
founding Of large business plants
which are adding greatly to the pros
perity of Grants Pass.
In connection with the industrial
interests OF the city, our townsman,
e. e. Rorapaugh, makes the sugges-
tion that at the next fair a depart
ment be set apart which shall fully
represent the home industries Of the
class mentioned and he would have,
In this connection, slogan to ex-
press in eloquent language every ar
tlcle placed on exhibit, and that
should be MADE IN GRANTS
PASS" Mr.. Rorapaugh's idea is a
good one and should be carried out
in all future fairs held in this dis
trict. It Is certainly important for
US to foster all home industries Let
us All our homes with Grants Pass
made furniture and make use OF
harness and other goods made here.
II we will do this we will /
add growth and prosperity to our
home municipality. The city gov
eminent as represented by the may
o. and council should do everything
possible to add to the upbuilding of |
our manufacturing interests. They
cen, at least, use Grants Pass made
sewer and drain pipe and by this &C
ton prove their loyalty to the city
they are elected to represent.

TURKEY RAISING AGAIN.

II will be remembered that The
Courier had an editorial a few days
ago giving the practical and profit
able side of turkey raising, A cor
respondent took the trouble to send
us the following in order to prove
that raising turkeys is not a profit
able business in the United States.
But read what our correspondent has
to say.
The census bureau has issued a
gloom" statement regarding turkey
culture. According to its report
there were 6,594,695 turkeys on
farms In the United States in 1900
and only S,6SS,7OS in 1910. The
number Of ducks decreased with al
most similar speed, In 1900 there
were 4,7S5,SlO, while in 1910 there
were only 2,9O6,525. The geese,
never plentiful, have gone more slow
ly In 1909 there were 5,676.7SS
and last year there were 4.431,9So.
Poultry is doing we'll, however. In
1900. 2SS,566,O2l graced the poul-
try map, ana in 1910 the number of
the teathered tribe had increased to
2SO,S45lSS.
The Courier only claimed that
Oregon was an ideal country for tur-
key raising and this can be proven
by statistics, not only in Josephine
county but in other parts of the
state. The very fact that the busI-
ness has not proved profitable In 9th
Ell states and that it is successful
here, clearly establishes the claim
Of this paper. Turkey raising in this
part OF Oregon win be profitable to
an extent that will astonish and

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The Oregon Development league
has called an irrigation congress to
convene at Portland on Monday, Feb
rrary l9, and to continue in session
three days for the purpose Of secur-
iLg Oregon's proportion of the recla-
nation fund and for the develop
ment of irrigation in this state and
to consider all other relations of the
state to the various acts which relate
to the water users, settlers and land
owners of this commonwealth.
Grants Pass is entitled to appoint
five delegates to the convention This
rs very important matter and this
part of the Rogue River valley
should be ably represented that we
may keep in touch with the recla-
nation service and thereby get from
it the greatest possible benefit in the
future The Commercial club has
appointed a committee of which w
C. Lockett is chairman, to look up
and appoint suitable delegates to go
e. Portland to represent this city
II is to be hoped that there will be
a full delegation and that it will be
composed of strong men. This city
and county must keep in touch with
coming events and be represented on
all important occasions.
