GOVERNMENT MARKET REPORTS A reported la the News last week, one of the principal facts with which E. H. Shepard was Impressed during his recent visit to the fruit growers' convention at Victoria, B. C, was the work of the markets commissioner of that province in assisting the orchard lsts In successfully coping with this end of the business. Now that the production of apples has reached a high degree of perfection In the North west the most important problem is the successful marketing of the prod uct and perhaps some such suggestion as this may point the way. In a report Just made public the Secretary of Agriculture recommends that the government undertake to co operate with the farmers of the coun try In their marketing. "A survey of the systems of marketing farm prod ucts clearly discovers w hat the farm ers can best do to their advantage. They must associate themselves to gether for the purpose of assembling their individual contributions of prod ucts, of shipping in carload lots, of ob taining market news at places to w hich it is practical to send their prod ucts, to sell in a considerable number of markets, if not in many markets, and to secure the various other econ omic gains of associative selling," he says." To carry out this suggestion, it is recommended that if congress estab lishes a division of markets, a corps of traveling field agents be maintained to assist farmers to form associations for marketing their products. It is also recommended that esti mates of the prospective supply of fruits and vegetables, and perhaps oth er products not now represented in the quantitative estimates of the de partment's crop reporting service, be made a short time before harvest, so that the farmer may have in mind a fairly definite idea of the volume of the crop throughout the country in order that he may occupy a place in the market that is fair to the consum er. It is proposed that a corps of trav eling field agents and a lagre corps of local agents and correspondents be es tablished for the following items of service: To help producers organize for associative marketing; to examine and remove local difficulties in the way of such marketing; to help pro ducers to find markets; to report the current descriptive conditions of crops, la addition to the work already done by the department's crop reporting service; to estimate the probable pro duction of crops a short time before harvest; to report the crop movement from producing points through 'gate ways' to principal markets. A scientist says there is an increase in the death rate owing to inactivity of men after they reach 40 years o. age. Along about that time many men drop their habits of walking to shop or office, quit their exercises, take on several layers of adipose tissue, stop studying and read only for pleasure, without having to use the intellect, and In general fall into easy ways unless they are spurred by unusual causes. It baa been said that a man: can go to the devil more quickly, and easily at forty than at twenty, and there is a good deal In it. Win a view to putting an end to the Indiscriminate carrying of conceal ed weapons. Governor West has re commended that the legislature pass a law throwing stringent restrictions upon this practice. The carrying of concealed weapons by irresponsible persons is responsible for many mur ders that are committed In the heat of passion. There is no good reason why this practice should be tolerated and the punishment should be made so strong that this class of men will hes itate about taking chances. Tha an official with a full quota of moral courage will have no difficulty In stamping out vicious resorts, is be ing demonstrated by Sheriff Tom Word of Multnomah county. Sheriff Word performs his sworn duty without any hesitancy or quibbling. Elderly spinsters who may fear that they have passed the dead line, mat rimonlally speaking, will take heart upon reading of the Los Angeles worn an, 105 years old, who has Just taken a husband. The ark wasn't much to brag on in other respects, but Noah's wife had tha satisfaction of knowing there were only two cockroaches in the house. Christmas bills will scarcely be paid before Easter millinery will be on sale. Life Is Just one collector after another. The Heights people would emulate J. J. Hill. BRIEF NOTES FROM AROUND THE STATE The seventh annual convention of the Oregon Retail Hardware & Imple ment Dealers' Association will be held in Portland on January 21, 22, 23 and 24. Timber Cruiser McCarthy, who has just completed cruising the timber of Coos county, reports 14,605.069.000 feet of merchantable timber in that county. The sevenh annual convention of the Oregon Retail Merchants' Association takes place at Albany January 22 and 23 and promises to be the largest in their history. Secretary of War Stimson has ap proved General IMxby's recommenda tion for a bridge across Coos Day, at Marshfleld. The railroad has promis ed to begin work immediately. The automobile bureau of the Secre tary of State's department is swamped with the task of outfitting for the new year the 10,000 or more motor vehicles of the state with the new 1913 license tags. For the establishment of the Oregon Caves National Park, to Include the Oregon caves, Senator Bourne has in troduced a bill setting aside township 40 south, range 6 west, Jo:ephine coun ty. This tract, which includes the caves, is a national monument. An important decision has been handed down by the Oregon Supreme Court in the case of Multnomah coun ty vs. County Clerk Frank S. Fields, when the court ruled that county clerks are not required to pay natur alization fees into the county treasury. In naturalization proceedings, says the decision, the clerk acts as agent of the United States and is entitled to the fees up to $3000 a year, the sur plus over that amount going to the government. A bill making it compulsory on all commission merchants selling horticul tural or agricultural products to se cure a license to do business from the Railroad Commission, and to give a bond to the Secretary of State, was introduced in the House by Carkin of Jackson county. Two hundred real estate men will invade Salem to secure the passage of the blue sky law which the people turned down at the general election and the Introduction and passage of a bill providing for a state license law for real estate men.

GAME WARDEN WANTS QUAIL TRAPPERS Several attempts have been made by State Game Warden William L. Finley to buy bob-white quail In the Eastern states, for liberating in certain parts of Oregon. The bob-white Is a very desirable bird, however, and other states are guarding carefully the sup ply they now have. Some sections of Oregon are already pretty fairly stock ed with bob-white quail. Other sec tions are stocked with California and mountain quail. "We can easily stock almost all parts of our state with these different varieties of quail," said Mr. Finley, if we can secure reliable parties to trap the birds and ship them under our directions. We are anxious to get in touch with anyone who Is in a posi tion to trap quail. We are willing to pay for the birds and shall arrange to have them sent either to the state game farm at Corvallis or direct to the places where we want to liberate them." Both the California quail and bob white quail are insect and weed-seed eaters. They are not only excellent game birds, but are most valuable birds from the economic standpoint about any farming community. It is strictly against the law to trap any game birds in the state of Oregon, yet the state game warden can by special written permit grant this privilege for scientific and propa gation purposes, tion purposes.

At the head of this list he puts apples. The item follows: Joseph Steinhardt, of Steinhardt & Kelly, New York, created a sensation among Smoky City housewives Mon day when he gave out a hot interview to the daily papers on the high cost of living. Joe, with Mrs. Steinhardt, was on his way to the Cincinnati conven tion. The papers played up his inter view to the front page scare-head point. He told the anxious Pittsburg public that it was not the high cost of living that ailed the poor and middle classes, but the cost of high living, He pointed out that apples, cabbages, potatoes, eggs, etc., were the cheapest at wholesale in years, yet the same old high price among retailers still prevailed. "The housewife nowadays," said Mr. Steinhardt, "telephones her orders to the grocer, never asks the price and pays any price asked by him Nothing like our mother used to do with her market basket on her arm and her eye peeled f r the best qual ity and largest quantity her money would buy." Mr. Steinhardt gave the consuming public one column of sound sense. Lime and Spray Kelly Bros., phone 227-M. . . 1. V. 7 tM 1 ' ' 1 VH. 1 111 J. F. WATT, M.
