notice in your editorial OF Sep
tember 10 about that committee ap-
pointed by the president OF the Com
mercial club to help local conditions.
If permitted space in your valuable
paper, | would give my opinion on
this most timely subject.
have been in business in Grants
Pass, and now | am back to the soil
and can see things from both sides
/ of the question. No city can support
itself without its feeders-the farm,
factory, mine, etc. How is the
/ farmer treated? You told him you
could not use his potatoes last win
ter as your patrons wanted VILLAIN
ette potatoes and you got several car
loads and paid real money for them.
Perhaps some of that money is from
the farmer who offered to sell his po-
tatoes to you and couldn't. In the
early part of the summer, instead of
waiting a week or two, you bought
from Lee Chang or some other China
man in California, expensive potatoes
that sold for seven and eight cents a
pound. (By the way, It would be
well to ask that Chinaman how much
he would subscribe to the railroad
bonus) Later, in the strawberry
season, when the writer, along with
the rest, offered his berries for sale,
willing to take brass money for
them, you again refused to stock up
with Josephine county grown ber-
rles, because you had Willamette
berries on hand that you could sell
at any old price because they were
consigned to you. Needless
to say the grower never got any
thing after the express company got
through.
These are only a few instances.
The list would be too long to recite
! here. The result is. the farmer not
getting much money, buys on credit
as he cant help himself The ac-
count is sometimes long winded. You
are compelled to wait for the next
growing season to take any produce
he may offer you, equality not CON
sidered), to balance the account.
