Determined efforts are being made by the horticultural authorities to keep the potato tuber moth out or Oregon. A car of new potatoes that arrived from California yes terday was found to be badly infected tnd was immediately condemned, as have been a number of other cars received In the past few weeks. , Washington officials are also keeping sharp eye on arrivals from the southern state and they have condemned numerous carlots. Most of the condemned cars have come from the Colma and Bakersfield sec tions. No trouble is being encountered from the tubers which have been examined by Inspector F. N. Rhodes at Stockton. Cal. He Is on the Job constantly and travels over a hundred miles dally Inspecting potatoes for I box. . h . ,.,, from Stockton says: Dairy "nd Coo"tT Produce. -a n .r cent of the Stockton do- BUTTER Cubes, extra, 45c; prim, firsts. -- - . prints, extras, cases 4I)c; half cases tatoe crop is Infected with tuber moth.

Inspector Rhodes is working overtime. as he Is Inspecting 60 per cent more cars than last year. There is a strong demand for notatoes from over the Middle West, owing to the poor crops In Texas and Okla homa, due to dry weather. Chicago buyers are actuV In the market. When I left Stockton Friday, potatoes were selling on the bank at 52.40 per ewf . New Dotatoes from Kennewlck are offer ing on the Portland market at $3.50 hundred, the same price as California stock. but they net less to the grower In propor tion as the Washington potatoes are In 60- pound lugs, whereas the California stock moves In sacks.
