IMPORTANT BUSINESS
CHANGES ON ISLAND
A Three Way Move Adds Another Distinct
Line Of Business. ?. Petersen, A. J.
Marsh and Axel Petersen the Three

With the opening songs of the
birds, the hum Of the bees, the
nightly call Of the frogs, and the
tang of the air announcing
spring is here, comes the usual
spring changes in business at
fairs. Last week we limited at
a three way business change on
the island and this week we are
allowed to tell our READERS about
it.
A. J. Marsh Buys Store
In the first place A. j. Marsh
who operated store for some
time at Portage, and who has
been looking hither, thithcr, and
yon for a business opening, in
vestigating dozens of OF cr
places, has decided to again cast
his lot on Vashon island. He
has purchased the entire bnsi-
ness Of p. A. Petersen at Cove,
with the exception of the egg
and feed part of it. II includes
the general merchandise stock
and the postoffice department. in
connection with the store. Mr..
Marsh is an old time merchant,
knows the business from to
lizard and will conduct ali up-to-
the-minute business place.
P. A. Peterasn Branches Out
With the wonderful develop.
ment of the poultry business on
the two islands P. A. Petersen
has found out the egg and feed
end of the industry will soon be
one of the biggest businesses to
be found. In a modest way Mr..
Petersen installed a mash mixer
some time ago and got hold of
the approved Shoup formula and
went to putting out his own mash.
The poultrymen on the west side
of the island begun to use it.
They had been paying as high
as s cents per pound for east
ern chick and developing mashcs
and found out the brand sold by
P. A. Petersen produced much
better results than t he eastern
brands, and cost less than half
as much.
AS a result the west side poul-
trymen are using fully IS per
cent of the Petersen mixed mash

vances on cotton to other cooperative
marketing organizations and to banking
and financing institutions throughout
the South.
When it became clear that the cotton
grower would have time to market his
output, that the crop would be adequate
ly financed, and that he would not have
to dump it on an overloaded market in
order to meet his obligations, the whole
business outlook of the Southern States
was changed Depression gave way to
hope and confidence, manufacturers and
merchants who had held back began
to buy the fear began to go out of the
situation, and the resulting improve
ment was reflected throughout the cot
ton belt, as we'll as in other sections of
the country.
As to Live Stock.
In the financing Of the live stock in
dustry in the West, the normal length
Of time required to bring growing sheep
and cattle to maturity has not always
/ received sufficient consideration.
When the Agricultural Credits Act
was passed, August, 1921, the situation
confronting the live stock industry was
decidedly acute. The breeding herds
we're being sacrificed and young stock
not ready for market was being sent to
the block, endangering our future meat
supply. But the act gave the corpora
tion adequate funds and authority to
deal with the problem on a comprehen-
sive scale, and during the past four or
five months it has authorized advances
on live stock aggregating nearly $780,
900, 900. Under the law, loans may not
be made for period Of not to exceed
one year, and these loans may, in prop
err cases, be extended for an additional
period Of not to exceed two years, thus
giving the stockman time to carry
through his operations without the ne
cessity of sacrificing his immature and
breeding animals.
One outstanding development, already
an accomplished fact is the establish
ment of new live stock loan companies
in the principal stockgrowing states
| The corporation has encouraged the
bankers and business men in these COM
munities to form such companies, each
with substantial capital, In order to
make its resources readily and effect.

American producer to take care Of until
they were wanted abroad. He had to
wait from one to six months longer for
his money. He had not calculated on
this waiting.
The Cotton Action.
With the economic activity and buy
ing power of the grower seriously i'm
paired, the whole cotton producing sec
tion of the country was disastrously af-
fected. The way to relieve the situation
was to put the producer in position to
market his crop over longer period
and, at the same time to 60 on with his
regular operations. With this end in
view, the War Finance Corporation f.
nanced, under its export powers, the
shipment of considerable quantities Of
cotton to foreign warehouses, there 20
be sold to foreign buyers for cash as it
was needed. This action was followed
by loan of $5.0O0,000 to Mississippi
cooperative marketing association to f.
nance the carrying of 100000 bales in
public warehouses in the United States
until it could be shipped abroad in an
orderly way. Within short time sim
liar arrangements had been made with
other cooperative associations, and
these transactions, in turn, were follow
ed by agreements to make large ad-

it regular parctice to buy young live
stock, and feed and fatten them with
corn and other field products; in other
words, to send their crops to market
"on four feet" Normally, about eighty
per cent in the United States is fed to
live stock. And this process takes time.
For instance, it requires from eight to
ten months to fatten one-year-old steers
for market, and calves as long as a
year. The farmer, with his barns full
of corn, needs considerable time If he
is going to turn it into beef, pork or
mutton.
The corn crop in the last two years
has been extraordinarily large, the total
production amounting to approximately
$500, 100000 bushels, And the collapse
in commodity prices tied up the bank
ing facilities in the corn belt and made
it impossible for the farmer to finance
his feeding operations in the usual way
and in the normal volume. He had
been accustomed to feel that when he
had good crop most Of his troubles
were over, but he suddenly found that
they were only beginning. He was not
in position to finance the marketing Of
his commodity over longer period. He
could not get even his usual accommo-
dation in the way Of funds for the pnr-
chase OF feeding stock; and it began 10

Some Figures.
What ii means to agriculture to be
in position to spread the marketing Of
| its output over longer period Of time
is indicated by the difference in the out
look for the corn belt farmer in Octo-
ber, 1921, when the War Finance Cor
poration began intensive operations in
that section, and in February, 1922
when those operations had had time to
make themselves felt. In October, corn
was selling at country elevators in Neb.
raska and Iowa at about 20 cents O
bushel. In February it had risen to
fifty cents and reports indicate that far.

The man who Is in hurry to sell is
| at a great disadvantage And this has
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-06-29

been the customary plight Of the agri-
cultural producer. As soon as he has
a crop he is under pressure to sell.
Either he has to meet note given to
cover his last productive effort, or he
needs ready money to buy supplies and
equipment for his next operation. For
one reason or another, the necessity
has been almost imperative to market
his output as soon as possible after
harvest.
At harvest times the national market
is crowded so to speak, with farmers
anxious to sell. Products are abundant
and prices relatively low. Six to eight
months later, when the consumer is be-
ginning to think about supplies for the
rest of the year, prices are up and the
farmer usually has to sell. 1t Would
be better for the farmer IL he could
spread his marketing over a longer per-
iod, because in the long run he would
probably get more for his crops; 1t
would be better for the railroads, be-
cause it would mean a more even use
Of transportation facilities; it would be
better for the consumer, because he
| would have more assurance Of getting
supplies at stable rpices throughout the
year,

accustomed to disposing of his crop
shortly after the harvest, leaving to
some one else the task of providing
storage facilities and the necessary
financing for carrying it until needed
by the consumer. Such a system may
work smoothly so long as those who as
sumo burden of taking care of the time
element in the marketing process are
fairly sure of good returns, But it may
break down when the farmer needs it
most, when, because of uncertain mar
kets and unfavorable business condi-
tions generally, his bank calls in the
note on which he has secured funds for
his producing operations. The farmer
then is left to hold the bag. He may
have cotton, corn, cattle or other pro-
duets sufficient under ordinary condi-
tions to meet his obligations, but he
needs time to market them in an or
derby way. And because, in the good
years, he has depended largely on 9th
ers to take care of the time element
he has on the whole, developed no ade-
quate machinery for taking care of it
himself when adverse conditions make
it necessary for him to do so.
A New Situation.
During the past two years the agri-
cultural producer has been confronted
with new situation-a situation
brought about by the war and the
changed economic conditions resulting
| from it. He and his banker have been
| forced to assume a considerable part
of the burden, which in ordinary times
is distributed all along the line, of car
rying and financing his products for a
longer period-until the American job
ber, wholesaler, manufacturer and re-
taller, or the foreign buyer, are ready
to take them.
Cotton is our greatest agricultural ex'
port commodity and the market for II
depends entirely upon the demands
from abroad. AS a result of war, Eu
ropean buyers changed their buying
practice. They had been accustomed tt
take eighty per cent of their annua
needs in the first six months of thu
cotton year; after the war they begai
taking only fifty per cent in the SAM
six months. On account of fuctuation
in the rates of exchanges, they wer
unable to calculate, with any degree o
accuracy, whether they would gain o
lose by buying ahead cotton whic
would have to be paid for in American
dollars and sold in terms of depreciate
European currency. So, instead of lay
ing in the greater part of their annua
supply shortly after the harvest, the
bought only to meet the current needs

Between the farmer and the man who
eats the farmers wheat and potatoes, or
smokes his tobacco, or makes his cot
ton into shirts, there stands an intangi-
Bile but formidable barrier-time. Over
ninety per cent of the wheat in the Uni
ted States is harvested in June, July
and August; but it may take a year for
it to get into the bakers ovens. Over
ninety per cent of the tobacco is har-
vested in August, September and Octo-
ber, but the smokers puff away as hard
in January as they do in October. And
SO it is with most Of our staple agri'
cultural products-between production
and consumption there is an interval
that may stretch out to whole veal
or even longer.
Here is fundamental factor in the
marketing of the farmers output thai
perhaps has received too little atten
ton. The American producer has growr

istic that they would rob the church
of her sacred vessels for their own
banquet of selfshness and BIAS
phemy. Such heretics are the real
defrauders and detractors and ex-
ploiters Of the church. The real
saints Of God are giving more money
today than ever before in the history
Of the church. They are supporting
the whole program Of Christian ev-
angelism.
THIRD-They say the church is
not spiritual. But they do not tell
you that the worldly and unrighteous
in the church are the disciples of
the rationalistic teachers Of the in
famous doctrines TO the demon-crea-
ted cults that are today thriving up
on the credulous and silly minded.
Such are disgrace to the church
because they have given up the spir-
itual for the worldly, the slfsh and
the sordid things of life.
F0URTH--They say the church Is
not paying her ministers. But they
do not tell you that the only ones
who are refusing to support the min
listers are the hypocrites, the Bolshe-
viks, the Socialists, the heretics, and
the infamous Germanized rational
lists who have crept into the church
without the wedding garments. Such
are the only ones who are refusing
to support the Gospel, pay the min
listers, or give him his due place.
Such are the cold-hearted, irreverent
detractors and perverters of the
church life, influence, and service.
They are void of every sense of spir-
itual obligation. Such members are
curse to the church. But they are
not the whole church. They are but
an infnitesimal part.
The church and her spiritual mem
bers are better, stronger, more hope
ful, more generous today than ever
before in the history Of the world.

take notice. Their doom Is approach

Church Detractors

Any fool can find objections. Any
Idiot can strike match, light fire,
which will consume a mansion. Many
people were born in the objective
case. They never escape their era
die. They spend their days kicking,
objecting, and complaining. They
are just common, offensive, ever-pre-
sent, irradicated nuisances. They
are constantly talking about the
church, what she is doing, what she
ought to do, what she is not doing
They work necessarily at the busi-
ness of trying to detract from the
church influence and power.
FIRST-They say the church Is
declining. But they do not tell you
that they are looking at few fallen

There are hypocrites In th'
church. There are hypocrites in ev'

are fewer hypocrites in the church
than in any other department Of life
The word hypocrite means, playing

rected German professors, and have
strayed away from the spiritual doc.
trines Of the infallible Word Of God
They are very few in number, how.

SECOND-They say the church II
pauperized. But they do not tell yor
that those who have refused to sup
