FARMER AND INDUSTRY

The average fruit grower does not
realize how closely his prosperity is
related to advertising. We can all
remember when apples, prunes and
berries went begging for market
in Western Washington and Oregon.
To cite a concrete illustration, take
loganberries, strawberries and rasp-
berries in the Willamette valley, Or
egon. A few years ago in the height
of the season the growers could hard
ly give them away. The territory
Tor shipment was liminted and there
was nothing to do with them.
Then came the manufacturing era
of berries. Business men saw the
raw material going to waste and de-
cided to make a fruit juice, jams and
canned products for national con-
sumption They realized what the
farmer did not, that they must create
a market-good fruit was no good
unless you could sell it. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars were spent
advertising loganberry products In
the newspapers and magazines of
the country People who had never
heard of loganberry juice wondered
what it was and in a rev short years
the manufacturers of small fruit pro.
ducts had developed a national in.
dustry requiring more raw materia
than could be supplied.
The price of small fruits advanced
until today it is the most profitable
crop the farmer can raise. Indus
try has made farming profitable ant
1t is now up to the farmers to supply
the raw material and coporata witt
the manufacturing end of farming.
The farmers could have raised
berries for the next hundred year,
and starved to death at it if com,
mercial interests had not taken hold
OF the proposition and through pub
'licity and a manufactured product
created a market and a demand fol
the farmers output. That is VIII,
the farmer must stand shoulder I,
shoulder with industry for his owl
best interests.

PATRONIzING HOME FACTORIE,


Mr. Editor: | borrowed nabur
Smiths Tidings last night and read
what Mister Dill has to say about
kemmunity interest and usip our own
products He even suggested the
idea of buildin up home industry and
all that sort not even intimation that
Ashland folks shud use Ashland made
butter and canned goods and even
use Ashland maid flour. Now, every
body nOws what poor wheat is raised
by tho Ashland farmers; that it has
weed seeds and smut and oats and
barley in it and that nobody can eat
flour made from local wheat, even the
lrOot sociatiOn. an organization got
up by the froot fellers to ship their
chicken wheat and flour and rolled
barley all in from klamath Falls and
they are here and in buzness to help
the froot grower, and nobody else.
My wife did want me to git some
local flour to try ii (Mrs. Smith, our
naber, baked Ashland flour and had
some awful nice bread, but | guess
it was only happen SOL My wife
wanted some Ashland flour Cand she
is a good bread baker too, for she

Unmarried men and women who
are bread-winners for others arc
granted special exemptions on theil
earnings before figuring the income
tax now being collected Although a
return must be filed by every un,
married person, and by every mar
rled person living apart from wife
tor husband), who had a net income
of $1,000 or more during 1919, rec.
ognition is made in the law of the
home burdens carried, and relief
from excessive taxation is especially
provided.
In addition to the ordinary per-
sonal exemption of $1,000, an addi-
tional exemption of $1,000 is granted
TO heads of families; and there is
also provided an exemption of 5000
for each dependent under IS years
of age or who is mentally or physi-
cally defective The $500 for each
dependent may be claimed by any tax
payer who is the chief support of
such dependent This is not confined
to dependents who are members of
the family or relatives. II does not
include others who are earning their
living, and it does not apply TO the
wife or husband of the married tax
payer even though such person may
have become a total burden.
The person who claims exemption
as head OF a family" must qualify
for it. Two single persons who di-
vide between them, more or less
equally, the financial and other re-
sponsibilities of a household cannot
claim that either one is the head
of the family. But if single person
actually assumes the total RESPONSE
bilities Of the household and is aid
ed by having one OF his brothers or
sisters support himself and contrib
uting an amount that could not prac.
tically be considered more than his
board, such trivial assistance must
not be allowed to interfere with his
clear claim for exemption.

HOW ONE MAN SAVES

Editor Tidings: l was edited
and amused by two recent articles
by ]. II. Dill and that poor speller
fellow, on community cooperation
and patronizing home industries,
believe | am just like others-much
interested in both-if it pays.
All goods consumed in Ashland
community are not produced here,
hence some have to be imported.
Ashland and klamath flours areiboth
par excellence, but l buy years
supply through our Friut and Pro
duce association, because | saved 10
cents per sack thereby and got 10
per cent dividend out of the profit
the association made on my money
invested therein.
l occasionally import my own
goods for the same saving reason,
instead of paying profit to middle
men to help build up our community.
Why, bless your life! | can build up
q community as much on SO saved
as the middleman can on $40 gained.
And if twc-thirds of the middlemen
were transferred to producers, in
stead Of handlers of products, there
would be such an oyerplus of pro-
duction that prices would melt like
cold snow under a hot sun.
Again by eliminating two-thirds OF
all overhead expenses middlemen in
cur in running their places of busi.
ness where one could do it, and di-
viding those expenses prorata be-
tween customers, by lower prices
would tend to make living still
cheaper
But, says the middleman, who /,

duction if all these non-producer:
go into production? / reply, Wher

lengthen our hours of recreation, un

Would not We have some schools

the greatest single asset for public
ity and as an attraction to auto
tourists that Ashland possesses
Moreover in the opinion of the bust
nessmen on the board, the direct
financial returns to the community
are as large if not larger than those
which large commercial industry
would bring.
Rather severe criticism Of the
manner in which the camp was kept
up toward the latter part of the 1918
seatson was heard. Attention was
called to the fact that While the nat
ural location and the fact that the
Ashland camp was a pioneer, had
built up it's reputation, that cityies
everywhere along the line were
striving constantly to go the Ashland
camp one better and that in order
to maintain it's prestige, constan,
improvements must be made a
camp which the tourist will remem-
ber as "The best | have struck" was
deemed to be better advertising both
for camp and city than any other
possible means and the decision made
to insist upon steps being taken to
make and keep it the best.
President Ferguson will appoint
a committee to investigate thorough
ly the extension and improvement
needs and make recommendations
to the park board.

mer because of our superior fruits.
He wanted to eat our Strawberries,
raspberries, and other early fruits.
He spent six weeks at IA local hotel.
He wanted raspberries for breakfast
