BIG FARM BUREAU BENEFITS
in Handling and Marketing
Many Products.
BY GEORGE A. MANSFIELD

The farm bureau in Oregon has
only been organized along the lines
of the greater national farm bureau
movement since the organization Of
the Oregon State Farm Bureau fed
Grafton but little more than one year
ago.
Even those at the head of the
movement find 1t hard TO realize all
that II has done for the farmer, The
greatest benefit has been In educating
the public generally as well as farm
ers in matters relating TO the proper
handling and marketing of agricultu-
raj products.
When we organized the wool pool
we began to study the proper han
ding and marketing Of wool. Our
wool pool has been very successful
financially, but has had still greater
value along educational lines. The
same is true of the wheat pool and
all other lines of cooperative effort.
BY cooperative shipping and buy
Ing farmers learned what prices
should be; how to sell and buy. They
kept themselves up on conditions and
are beginning to learn the underlying
causes OF their troubles.
The orchardist who sold Bartlett
pears for S2.T9 per box, received S1.O0
and saw $i.T9 go to the railway for
freight, began to realize that these
conditions must charge. All our fruit
has heretofore been shipped by rail
to New York and eastern points, Port
land with her magnificent municipal
docks shipped no fruit by water for
lack of proper facilities, and it had
never occurred TO the business men
how ridiculous II was that fruit bound
for London should come by rail from

J. r. Howard. president Of the

proposes electrifcation Of railroads as
solution to the railroad problem Of
the United States. which at present as

Mr.. Howard agrees with Lord Bacon
that there be three things that make
a nation great and prosperous, fertile
soils, busy workshops and easy con-

Richard Peckham was veteran Of
the Civil war. He always marched In
the Memorial day parade. The pa
rade was much larger than 1t had been
for number of years back. The men
of the World war now marched, too.
Richard had always been very ac-
tive man, and he had taken part In
many celebration in the town. BY
day he sold cigars and cigarettes and
fruit at the little stand in front of the
small house where he and Mrs. Peck
ham had lived for so many years. But
at night, oh, so often, he would dress
In his best fireman suit or in his Civil
war uniform as special town con-
stable.
Richard could remember 80 many
years back. He could remember when
they had no such fire department as
they had now, for example. Now they
had a splendid firehouse too, above
which was clubroom for the fire.
men. What a magnificent place that
was. They subscribed to several
magazines, always there were some
papers lying about on the great shiny
table they had bought for the center
of the room-to make 1t coy and club
like, they had said.
How good it was to talk over the old
days. There were some of the present
men of the fire department who had
remembered the old days. How they

Nation Can Never Forget.

Once more comes Memorial day, and,
while the gallant deeds Of our noble
young soldiers in the late World war
naturally are fresher in our memories,
the sacrifices of our patriotic defend
ers in 1S61-65 viii not be forgotten
while the nation endures. The pass
ing of those veterans in blue has been
rapid and it is saddening. Each day
sees 100 of these old veterans. and
two-thirds as many of their wives, car
ried to the grave. For them the end
is not far Off; another decade and
scarcely a veteran will remain.
The officers who led the Union
troops averaged several years older
than the enlisted men. many of the
latter, as is well known, being mere
striplings at their entry into service /;
and few of the higher officers of volun-
teers now remain alive.

States have reached a point beyond
which they cannot progress. Larger
engines cannot be built because bigger
firemen cannot be found to fire them
The interdependence OF agriculture,
industry and transportation has not
been sufficiently recognized until this
problem presented itself. We must
realize that our whole national, ecu
nomfc structure constitutes a national
body not unlike our human body In
that it Is made up of various organs.
If any of those organs, be II the heart,
lungs or stomach, fails to function
properly, the whole body is sick. The
farmer is more dependent on industry
than he commonly realizes And he Is
just as dependent upon transportation
Rail rates, however, have materially
advanced and the farmer has been
called upon TO pay greater penalty
tAan he can long continue TO endure.
"When the stress of the present de-
preston is over, we hope to see con-
Eistent road Improvement from the farm
to the market and the classification of
railroads Is the most feasible plan
which has yet been proposed
Mr.. Howard believes that the start
made By Chicago in electrifying Chica-
go roads is the first in series OF i'm
provements that will in time mean the
identification Of all railroads In the
United States.
