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.

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.

STEINHARDT GIVES
HOUSEWIVES ADVICE
Joe Steinhardt, the New York com
mission man, who made his reputa
tion handling Hood River apples, re
cently created a sensation in Pitts
burg, Pa., by informing the housewives
of that city that they were contribut
ing to the high cost of living by not us
lng fewer steaks and more fruits and
vegetables which are cheap this year.
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.
