Because of the congested condition of the railroads. Portland shipped al- ' rect to Europe more than double the Furope, Asia and Africa as ' well as South American republics received shipment of apples direct from Port-' land. "i . The acute crop of the .state for the year totaled 7.000,000 boxes. The total value was 9700,000." The lowness of the avers ire price was due both to. tne congested condition of the railroads as well as to general financial troubles In other centers. . ... --Pears v While the total fruit crop of the state showed a smaller total than in 1921 . beine 223.979.200 compared With 125. 221,000 a year ago, the pear crop showed tiot only a very liberal gain in the out put, but somewhat - Improved price condition. .Oregon orchards produced ; 2.000.000 boxes . of . pears this season.

The Pacific Northwest noes not pro duce sufficient hogs to fill more than a very- small per cent of the require ments of packers whose plants , are here. To fill the total wants of - the provision trade that - including . the branch houses of Eastern concerns- would take almost twice the present supply of hogs. . XXLAJDHtG HOO MAEKET . ' , r ' Varth Portlind Is the highest mar ket for hogs in the United States of all the recognised stockyards. For that reason ' the home producer -- receives higher price for his product, than does the hog raiser of any other portion of. the United States. As grain and other feed can he produced more cheap ly in the Pacific Northwest - than in other centers, the increase in , hog production should be ; quickly accom nlidhed. - i r One of the big1 features which gives to North Fomana iivestoca nuu-aeung a more stable basis than known in many centers,'- is that a most careful check is kept upon the sales, so that each shipper knows exactly what price his supplies brought, who bought them and the r net weights at the time of weighing. There is no guess work In this, i as , duplicate weight tags , are printed with each weighing and the price must be. placed upon each ticket. Failure to do so means expulsion from the Portland livestock Exchange. This organisation . works for the benefit of the. entire livestock" Industry. Oregon livestock value showed a total of I4,736,00a for '192S compared with 854,240,009 for 1921; The Increase for the year, -while not liberal, is suf ficient to indicate that- the low point of prices has been- reached and i that marketing will be bettered during the coming- year. ii '' ' - : Salmon ''- - Colombia river 1 salmon la known wherever the test of the canned prod, uct is y consumed. Not only is the Royal - Chinook of the Columbia the beat canned fish, but tt is likewise the standard for fresh fish. There is nothing r..er than the Columbia river Chinook la the ". entire aalmon family. s ' . , ' v ' , Tliere Is ample reason for' this. In vestigation: for many years has shows quite conclusively that the salmon fam ily spawns as far away from the ocean as possible. The healthier and sturdier the Ash. the greateivustance it wui ge to the spawning grounds. Up fn the headwaters of the Columbia. Willam ette and tributary streams the Royal Chinook goes each spring and summer. Only the stronger of the Chinook tribe take this Journey Many schools of fish start for the headwaters of the C.:ur: j. tni . .::.vrr-ette. tut only a cerUun perccntscs are etrox oJ;,l to make the journey. , Others, the less strong ' ' specimens, swim' into the smaller and nearer streams for spawn ing purposes. - - . - , N - The Royal Chinook, while packed each year in liberal supply, is never in sufficient volume to satisfy the world wide demand for this superior 1 fish. Consumers, therefore, must be content to accept' fish caught in ether' streams, i Output of canned ealmon by Colum bia river packeni for the season was estimated around 450,000 eases. Be- of the fact that canners are paca. Irg both full snd half cases, it Is im t. ;v.I t,:j.C es?ct output in pounds. J.'sverthele'V reports of can ntng Interests supplemented by those of fishermen and state officials Indi cate that the output of canned salmon along the Columbia for 1922 was from 8 to 10 per cent better, than in 1921. BUN IS ERRATIC ; Various reasons are given for this increase, according to the side the in formant is on. Some claim that the driving out of the purse seines is the one big reason for the Increase. Oth ers point to the fact that the salmon run is at best a -very erratic one and changes ., In - .volsrae , eccerfilss . 1 5 weather and water cori::;;.,- There was an ennsual ienianl. fo mild pickled salmon from Kurope this seaeon, forcing a higher price along? the river for raw fish. Fishermen, therefore, received.: greater profits; - VATXO WAX FORESTS ' ' r The national forests In Oregon con tain an estimated stand of 140,409,489 , thousand feet of saw timber, according to figures of the "orest service.
