It is expected all the Summer fallowed
land will be seeded this Fall. The Oregon
corn crop Is advancing rapidly and a good

of the soli, but good progress has been
made In -this respect In the Southwest. Crop

eral are reported by the weather bureau

lng; some late being dug. Third crop of
alfalfa being cut in Malheur County, fourth
crop growing fast in Josephine County.

favored the harvesting of late crops and
maturing of late vegetablea but dried up

the cost of any butter withdrawn from stor
age, the price obtained for the goods and
.ka HiBnniilon made of the same. They
may at any moment be called upon for this
information. , .
" 'in determining the cost to the holder
of storage butter these items may be taken
into consideration: Purchase price, trans
nrtiitint, rhurffM fif &nvl. storage charges
nrtimllv incurred, insurance charges tif
any), interest at current rate while goods
are In storage and cost of printing from
tubs or cubes (if any).
-In tha matter of cold-storage charges.
Ifthe goods have been in storage for two
months one cent may be added for this
item, and 4 cent for each additional month,
but In no event can more than two cents be
added to original cost as the item ot stor
age. No allowance is made by the Food
Administration for any shrinkage that may
result in storing or in cutting and printing
butter. The holder may average, if he de
sires, the cost ot the different lots of butter
stored in any month, but in such event he
must averace the cost of all lots stored that
month. In the event that the holder of
stored butter is. at the same time, the man
ufaeturer of the goods, he may determine his
first cost by computing the cost ot raw ma
terials and expense of manufacture, else
consider as his cost reliable market quota
tions in some daily commercial price cur
rent on the day goods were stored.
" 'The Food Administration says that
cold-storage butter must be sold by the
holder at a reasonable profit and at the
same time sets certain figures as a maxi
mum that may be taken as a profit. In
making sales of butter the holder (these
rules apply only to wholesalers and Jobbers,
not to retailers whose profit Is limited to
5 cents per pound for cash-and-carry stores
and 6 cents per pound for service stores
over total cost) Is absolutely limited to the
