Il If YOU have been negligent OF you
Il interests for a time it is now nov
high time for you to get back on thu
II Job of attending to your own bust
neds. The Butcher the Baker ant
Candle-Stick- are busy ever,
minute planning some new burdens
that are for you to shoulder.
The Quacks are concocting nos
trums that are more dangerous thar
the evils they are supposed to rem
edy. Every body and his "Stenog
are broadcasting advice to the farm
err. The politicians are bowling
their heads off about what to do to
aid the Farmer. Come on, Farm
ers let us get together and discuss
our own affairs. Let's determine
what we need, what we want and
whether we are entitled to 1t. IL we
need it and want it and are entitled
to it, let us go after it and get it.
We are abundantly able to do so.
Our advisers are practically agreed
that we must Organize. I'll ad-
NIT that our advisers, like Jobs COM
| forters, are a "Wretched lot", but
they may be right about the need of
an organization, they couldn't be
II wrong all the time.
\ Let us have dozen five minute
talks at Tuesday nights meeting on
the question, Must We Organizer"
and shall We Organize for Peace
or for War;"
Let us separate fact from falicy
and lay the naked truth before the
public and then demand from our
government such treatment as is
manfestly right and just and with
in the province of government.
Fruit harvest is about over. We
have had Bumper" crop but from
the grocer's standpoint, it has been
very unsatisfactory season. Prunes,
which many have regarded as the
one sure bet have not paid market |
ing expense, saying nothing about
the cost of production. The Wheat
Grower is millionaire compared tot
the prune grower, this year. A large !
portion of the cherry, peach, plum,
berry crop was left to go to waste in
the field. 1t would have been better
for the ggrower if the prunes had
been left in the field also.
Thus again has the truth Of the
saying, Bumper crops do not bring
prosperity to the farmer, been veri-
fled"
Now our trees having borne so '
heavily this year, will be resting
next; so we are not likely to be !
troubled with having to put up much !
income tax unless we have some
thing else to fall back on besides
fruit. Happy is the man who has
gotten into the diversified class: !!
The cow the pig and the hen-can
you beat the combination? They
are indispensable to the farm, big or |
little. Certainly no one who makes :
any pretence to Diversified farm |
ing would think Of doing without
the cow. She is the most diversi- !
fled animal on the farm. When we
sat down to our Sunday dinner took !
notice of what the old cow contribut-
ed.-There was the Dreaded veal,
cream biscuits and butter; creamed r
potatoes, cottage cheese ana coffee
with Jersey cream; then there were
peaches and cream, Tillamok cheese,
custard pie and ice cream; the only
thing on the table that the COW did
not contribute was a little dish of
pickles and they we're
grown in the garden fortified by
tho old COW. Then I noticed that f
the chairs we sat upon were glued
together with glue extracted from
tn old cows remains; we were all
wearing shoes made from the old
cows hide, my trousers were held up
by suspenders tipped with leather
contributed by the COW and they :,
we're buttoned on buttons made from
he old cows bones; the cooks hair
vas held in place by comb made I
rom the old cows horn; the plaster s
ng on the walls was held together :
" the old cows hair; and besides all
his the COW is the foster mother OF
he human race
The pig is the strangest animal. '
lie is always killed before he IS
ured.
THE hen is immortal her son o
