these organizers are able to report
progress.
Never before in the history of the
timber industry was the need of
organization greater than at the
present. Drastic and continued wage
reductions are fast reducing the
workers to the desperation point.
1t is far better to organize NOW
than to wait until the struggle be-
comes more severe. Let us put
forth every effort to strengthen our
organization in all districts. The
concern of one district must be
the concern of all; the concern Of
one worker the concern of all work
ers. Our interests are identical.
Organization is the only thing that
will effectively serve our inter
ests.

BITTER ROOT GARDENERS TELL,
OF LARGE PROFITS THAT
ARE EASILY MADE
One Man Made $115O Off Three and
One-Half Acres Strawberries; An
other $1,4OO From Two Acres; Ad-
ditional Profits From Sale of the
Plants.

Organization of the strawberry
growers of the Bitter Root valley
has been effected with the election
of William Steuard as president, and
Mrs. c.. w. Gerlach as secretary. A
committee to draft a constitution and
bylaws was named by the president.
Members of the committee are Vern
Black, Mr.. Stafford and c.. w. Ger
ZACH.
That some idea may be had of the
returns to those who were engaged
in the strawberry culture last year
a few figures are given; Professor
Cole, from one-fourth of an acre sold
$340 worth of berries; Frank Kreger
from one-eighth, had returns of
s137; j. F. Mace, from one-four-
tenth of an acre, sold $65 worth of
berries; John Navakoff had a patch
of one and three quarters acres and
can show returns of $1,150. S. E.
Ensley, from two acres of plants,
the same season as planted
$1,456 worth of the product, while
C. H. Gerlach, who was really first
to put out plants of the ev~er-bearing
variety which has proved to be so
we'll adapted to all of the conditions
here, from two and one-quarter acres
shows a gross return of $4,000. His
however, are two years old.
Besides the return on sales, all of the
above have supplied their own tables
throughout the season and many
have been given away to their
and neighbors.
Another item which adds material
y to the returns, when the right
method is used, is the sale of plants.
addition to the berries sold by
Ir. Gerlach, there were orders filled
plants that totaled nearly $500
year. From the results shown
~ those who have taken up this bust
less here, n may easily conclude
hat it would be difficult to find a
ocation which has more favorable
for the growing of straw
'erries than has the Bitter Root.

Big plans are being shaped up for
amending the farm loan act in order
to aid farmers with their crops this
year. Advocates of the new measure
claim that if it had existed last year
they would not have experienced the
difficulties they went through.
1t is proposed to pass a bill by
May or June under which short term
loans could be made upon products
of agriculture, livestock or personal
property. The American Farm Blu
reau federation is behind the move
ment, although it is expected that
support will come generally from the
farm organizations.
Dickinson Introduces Bill
A bill amending the present law
has been prepared and introduced by
Representative Dickinson, republican
of Iowa. 1t will be pressed for con-
sideration when the special session
of congress meets.
One of the outstanding features of
the bill that it makes possible the
use of warehouse receipts by farm
ers in obtaining loans for short pc
riods of time. The receipts would
be issued upon products that are
stored. Provision would be made to

From the we'll known herd of A.

are ten head; three sons of Cuba's

$4,000, one of which, Panama

There never was a time when
there was a more pressing need for
improved livestock than at present.
With freight rates higher than they
have rel been and other costs in
creased almost in proportion, it has
reached the point where only the
best of livestock will pay out, and,
with the wonderful grains and gras-
ses grown here in the Northwest, this
is the logical place to breed cattle
of the highest character.
