land shows have not long been closed,
homeseekers and investors have al
ready begun to arrive in Oregon with
view of locating or investing,
But Oregon's exhibit in these east
em land shows was not what it
should have been. The fault was due
to lack of preparation. Oregonians
must know in advance that they are
going to exhibit even more extern
slvely this year, and must start pre-
pairing NOW. This past year, in al
most every instance, the exhibit ma
terial was drawn promiscuously from
the large general crops or fields.
If the farmer knows that he is go
ing to be called upon to supply dis
play material he is given an oppor-
tunity to grow this particular prod
uct with view of exhibiting, and,
naturally, by giving it a little more
than average attention, he will real
lie a much more perfect specimen
than could possibly be selected
roughly from a large general crop.

application for pardon on the ground
that "the government did not lose
anything by their operations" They
only just cinched the common, every

Oregon achieved wonders with her
initial exhibit at the Minneapolis and

wherever possible, community liter

envelopes printed with Oregon sta

pies OF Oregon wheat and oats, were
given out as souvenirs. Potatoes
onions and apples were also freely
distributed.

will be much higher than we could
possibly realize this past year.
The Salem Board of Trade will ap-
preciate the cooperation of all busi-
ness men and farmers in starting
boosting campaign to increase the
quality Of Oregons state exhibit at
this years eastern land shows. AS
was done last year, each individual
grower and community will get the
credit for whatever showing is made
by his products. Farmers should
not hesitate to ask questions of the
Farm Management agent and obtain
expert information from whatever
source possible, in order that their
exhibits may be worthy of Oregon's
splendid soil and climatic conditions.

Crisis in Cost of Food.

NAA'ho Ah NN'N VI AN""
A crisis has come TO the residents
in our large American cities. The
cost Of food has mounted upward un-
til actual want is in many homes. The
battle for bread is going on all along
the line. There must be change in
our system Of distribution before con-
ditions can become normal again,
Last year the American farmers re-
ceived $6,OOO,OOO,OOO for the output Of
the soil. Consumers paid $l3, ,OOO,-
600 for these products. The differ
ence Of $1,000, 100000 was paid to the
transportation companies and whole
sale and retail firms for transferring
the farm products from initial mar
kets TO consumers. Much Of the high
cost of foodstuffs last year must be
charged to this amount of $I00O,OOO,-
900, the cost Of distribution.
The point of attack by both produc-
er and consumer is now turned on
lowering this staggering amount. They
know that as the cost Of distribution
is reduced, the price for products re-
ceiyed by farmers will be increased
and the cost to consumers will be de-
creased.
Just now the people Of Portland are
seeking relief from the present eX-
pensive and antiQuated system Of dis
tributing food supplies. The arrest Of
most of the commission merchants
through whose hands 80 per cent of
the food consumed in that city passes,
/ has resulted in the disclosure of some
startling facts which explain in part
why prices of food TO the consumer
are high and to the producer, low
Commenting on the condition in
! Portland, the 0regonian of Feb. 19
says;
Portland is confronted with a con-
ditlon, not a theory. In the surround
ing country provisions lie rotting in
the fields for want Of market In
the city people are paying two OF
three prices for the necessaries Of life,
Something must be done to get the
provisions from the land TO the
mouths of urban consumers. What a
comment upon our civilization! Here
is the city family crying with hunger
There is the farmer unable to dispose
of his potatoes, apples and vegetables
Certainly there is q missing link"
Father 0'Hara in q public address
in Portland n few days ago went even
further and uttered the startling state
ment that "the lack Of market fol
what they grow is discouraging the
farmers. They are ceasing to produce
because they cannot sell their crops.
This condition exists right here
among the farmers Of Oregon, as an!
one who will take the time to inquire
may learn. CITIZEN.

him, and these are supposed to be able
to look under his hat and tell exactly
what is going on in the gubernatorial
brain, They are supposed to be able
to tell with unerring certainty not only
what he is thinking about, at the time,
but what he is going to think about
tomorrow, and next week, and what
action he will take when he gets
through thinking.
The result Of all this egg-yolk jour-
nalism that dabs its sticky yellowness
all over the modern newspapers coat
lapels and vest, is the condition now
existing in the state house The gov
ernor has no real fault to find with
the legislature, the legislature none to
find with the governor other than the
things suggested by the carplng criti-
clsm and Summing methods Of the

members of the legislature cut 1t out,
Forget the imaginary complaints you
have to make Of each other suggested
and fostered by "carping criticism of

rights, privileges, duties and preroga-
tiyes of the other; just so ahead and
attend, each of you, to your own
branch of the business, leaving the

will clear up as quickly as a June

TOMATO CROP IN
DELAWARE LARGE

NEWARK, Del. Oct. Farmers in
this Vicinity who planted tomatoes for
the canary this year. have had a pros
porous season. as the yield has been
nearly three times as large as last
year. The Gilbert cannery, located
near Newark, last year contracted for
260 acres Of tomatoes. and from the
yield put up 1000 cases. This year
only 230 acres we're contracted for,
but the output will be 10000 cases.
Farmers have received SO a ton, the
same as last season. and the quality
Of the crop has been much better.
While the average yield has been
about five tons TO the acre, there are
a number Of farmers who got from
twelve to fifteen tons to the acre.
For the last ten days there has been a
glut at the cannery. but this IS about
over, and all tomatoes delivered are
being handled
