0 OUR PORTLAND LETTER Remarkable Advance in Prices Paid to Farmer for Foodstuffs. Portland, Or., March 14. After careful ami exhaustive study of maiKat condition in the Pacific Northwest tiur inir the Peat eiuht years, President Harvey Heck with, of the Portland Com tuerclal Club, make th ttartllng stale mailt that price paid to farmer for eleven different article of food, all n ceesltles, advanred 31.4 per cant be ' tween April, HMi2,and Ortolier 11)10, and be back up hi statement by quotation from market report ublli.li.Hl In Port Jand ilurli)i that period. "These lljcures," Haid President Beck with, "IndicaU that Portland i a hlK.li priced market for farm produce, and the high price are directly chargeable to the great increase in coniumptiun over production. The demand of a rapidly growing population have more than kept pace with the Increase in the quantity of teential foodstuffs tent to market by the farmer of the date, and thi condi tion I one that I not likely to be changed for a long time, if ever, and tbe ituatlon i very inviting one to the producer. "In the table of price submitted here with art two Item to which I desire to call particular attention egg and poul try. There it no (food teuton why tbe Pacific Northwest khonld not produce egge and chicken enough to fully up ply the local demand and thui relieve tbe wholesaler from the'nccetiity of order ing carload after curload from the Middle west. There i absolutely no danger of overproduction In theiie linen, in fact, there i little prospect that the supply will ever exceed, or even equal the de ma rid. "Let nt assume that there are 5.000 farmer in Oregon and that at the pre ent time each fanner i keeping an aver age ol 20 hens. It i probably fair to CNtlmate that each hen will raie, during the coming summer, a brood of ten cbirken and during the balance of the year will lay 12 doxen egx. The chick en should certainly be worth bO cent each when ready for market, and the ' egjr will sell at a minimum price of Vi cent per dozen, a total of f H 00, and the farmer still haa the ordinal hen. An addition of only one hen by each farmer, on thi ltli, aill amount to f 10,000 an nually ami, if given the time and atten tion thi important industry deserves, the net return from the xii!try yard of the state may eaitily exceed those from the wheat field."
