It hac been grown In Oregon for seven years, and many experts regard it as in every way the best potato for western Oregon. It has been shipped to all parts of the United States for seed purposes, and only excellent reports have been re ceived. Its signal honors, won In California, now give it official recog nition as the very head of the list. This potato Is well known among most Oregon growers, and Is popular because of its heavy yielding quant ties, H3 uniformity and Its fine grain. It is an ideal baking and boiling po tato.

Chinese Ways of Hatching Eggs How his rival In the egg business gets the hatching done may be of ln- terest to the egg- producers of Ore gon. For the orthodox two ways in j Oregon those of setting a hen or ! buying an incubator are often too ex pensive for the Oregonian's rival, l who thereupon nas recourse to-one of ; several methods. . I The rival is the Chinaman, who in 1914 exported 32,874,127 dozens or fresh and preserved eggs and 16,693, 600 pounds of albumen and yolk, to all countries. There were received in Portland, for example, between Octo ber 3, 1913, and August 31, 1914, 3 0 f , 4 2 0 dozen of Chinese eggs. There are few chicken farms in China, but nearly every Chinese fam- i y keeps hens. The millions of eggs produced dally are collections of a dozen or less from each of a myriad of househo'ds. No special attention is given to breodlng. Fowls are usu ally small and produce s,mall es,'gs, and the following nre some of the ways the eggs are hatched, as report ed by consular agents at request of the University of Oregon school or commerce: Old women sometimes do the hatching in one poverty-stricken dis trict near Chefoo. They strap eggs about their waists under their outer garments and carry them till the1 chickens, come. This method is to save fuel. In interior districts near Amoy un husked rice is roasted and a three Inch layer is spread while lukewarm in the bottom of a tub. One hun dred eggs are laid in the rice. Al ternate layers of two inches of rice i and of 100 eggs are then spread until i mere are 500 eggs in the tub. After 24 hours the eggs are taken out and the rice reheated. When put back center eggs go to the outside and lay ers shifted. This great labor comes to a climax when the Chinaman Is en deavoring to keep the hatching brood from smothering under the rice. In the province of Shangtung eggs are put in earthenware jars, which are set upon bed3 of brick and clay in which, slow fires burn. The eggs are frequently turned. The consul at Hankow reports a method he says is thousands of years old. In buildings 15 feet long and 16 feet wide kongs are placed along the sides, each holding about 100 doz ens of eggs. Straw is burned. Heat in the eggs is kept uniform by re moval from one basket to another, those on top of one basket being placed in. the bottom of the adjoining one. Metnods of collecting eggs, export methods, laws governing importation into Pacific coast states, and much other information of Interest to Ore gon pou'trymen is contained in Bulletin on "Chinese Eggs," which may be had free by addressing the school of commerce of the State L'nl versity. The bulletin shows, for ex ample, the following comparison of transportation rates on Chinese eggs from Shanghai by water and on Ore gon eggs from four representative points in Oregon by express: Rates per 100 pounds. Freight rate from Shanghai to Pacific coast ports $.755. Express rate from La Grande to Portland, $1.20. Express rate from Pendleton to Portland $1.20. Express rate from RoseMjrg to Portland, $1. Express rate from Eugene to Portland, $.65. ? Wlio's Daoflhters Feed the Beast ? I SSZJJ3) SEE ssiraaresKC J-J ROLEN tie Standard Oil for Motor Cars Portland Stock Market.
