Totatoes of Many California Sec
tions Said to Be Infected.
Quarantine Postponed.
SALEM. Or, Dec. 14. (Special.)
That tuber moth is prevalent in many
sections of California and that pro
tective measures will be necessary to
perpetuate the potato Industry in Or
egon was expressed by many speak
ers attending a meeting of entomolo
gists from various sections of the
northwest here today. The session
was called by Charles A. Park of Sa
lem, president of the Oregon state
horticultural board and primarily had
for its object the placing of a quar
antine on the California product.
Testimony taken at the meeting
was to the effect that tuber moth
had infested many parts of Cali
fornia during the last few months,
and that the shipment of infected po
tatoes from that state Into Oregon
would menace the local industry. As
a result of this showing some of
the entomologists advised immediate
action, while others thought it best
to postpone the quarantine until such
time as the Oregon growers were in
a position to confer with representa
tives of the potato industry from
Idaho and other northwestern states.
This conference probably will be
held within the next few weeks, al
though President Park has not de
cided upon a definite date.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mr. Park said that the growers of
Oregon did not wish to take any ac
tion that would injure California, but
that stringent measures would be
adopted, if necessary, to protect the
Oregon industry. He said Oregon
was, at the present time, almost free
from tuber moth and that the grow
ers of this state did not intend to
throw down the bars and allow the
importantion of a product infested
with disease. He said such action
would be unfair to customers as well
as dealers, and that it would curtail
the production and thereby increase
the prices.
During the noon hour a luncheon
was served at the Marion hotel in
honor of the visitors.

vent the total destruction of the wool
growing industry or this and other
communities.

TURKEY TO COME HIGH
ROSEBUR.G MARKET TO OPEN
SATURDAY AT 45 CENTS.
County Agent Holds Several Thou
sand Birds and Expects to
Control Price.
ROSEBTJRG. Or., Dec 14. (Spe
cial.) Next Saturday is "turkey day"
in Roseburg. Buyers have announced
that this date is early enough to re
ceive birds for the Christmas market
and they do not care to bargain for
any consignment arriving earlier
than that date.
Already there is much speculation
among the growers and buyers as to
the probable opening price for the
holiday market, but the general opin
ion among those concerned is that it
will be around 45 cents, with the as
surance of the top price to the grow
ers should the demand for turkeys
create a stronger market before the
close of the season. This is 3 cents
above the opening price for the
Thanksgiving market.
The strength of the pool being
formed by County Agent Haslett lr
unknown. He states he has "gath
ered in" several thousand birds for
the Christmas market and if he can
hold this number intact until Satur
day it is quite likely the pool will
control the price to be paid for holi
day turkeys.
During the Thanksgiving sale
dealers paid on an average ot 46
cents for dressed turkeys, these same
fowls bringing from 60 to 72 cents on
the block. The growers declare this
is too great a percentage of profit
over the price received by them, and
this one fact is the nucleus for pool
ing the birds in this section, they
elate.

Fast One-Hair Hour.
Laden with a mixed cargo for north
China, the steamer Bearport early
last night hit both the Morrison
street and Broadway bridges as she
was being towed down the river,
after leaving her moorings at the In-man-Poulsen
dock. No damage was
done to either of the bridges, but
traffic across the Broaaway struc
ture was paralyzed for SI minutes,
while the steamer was being squared
around and gotten through.
The steamer was drifting sldewise
in the current, in tow of two tugs, as
she approached the Broadway bridge.
As a result, she failed to make the
draw and hit one of the piers at 6:10
o'clock. During the half hour required
to get the boat through the draw,
street cars and automobiles, laden
with homeward-bound workers and
other citizens, jammed the traffic

POTATOES GLUT MARKET
Bumper Crop Sends San Francisco
Tumbling: to low Level.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 14. (Spe
cial.) The potato market in San
Francisco is at its record low level
of the year. The kingly tuber, ruler
of produce row several months ago,
is now nothing but the lowly "spud"
begging even slight recognition.
The late commercial crop of 1920
is a bumper one and the country is
literally flooded. Last year prices
soared out of sight. Farmers ex
pected history to repeat itself this
Beaso.n and planted extensively.
The market, however, executed a
sudden "about face," and the situa
tion has reached such a stage that
growers are content to accept almost
any offer to move their crops.
