WHEAT lilARKET BETTER,
SAYS LEO PETERSON
Editor Leo Peterson writes of the
situation In th wheat market In his
latest Issue of the Portland Commercial
Review as follows:
"Th markets ar becoming a little
more active, and as. the holidays are
over ana uarop , nas seitiea aown to
business w may, sea renewed activity
for the balance of our crop. That the
Argentine crop offering talk became
overdone recently, there is no doubt.
Instead of a bearish factor, It U a bull
factor, for it now looks as if Argentine
exporters th past month have - been
'selling chickens before they were
hatched,' vis., selling a great quantity
of wheat to Europe before the wheat
was threshed and ready for market. Of
course, conditions may , change. but
should win occur again Argentine ex
porters would And themselves, no doubt,
In a bad tlx. Although the Argentine
situation is one of the factors of the
recent advance in prices, the main and
true factor is the general situation, the

rope need more of our wheat than we
nave to spare, ana im m
quantity that Argentine may have to
sell. Th world's shortage and the
wants of Europe, as figured early in the

LlllCII PLEASED
Durst and California Com
mittee leave for ftome
Thank The Journal,
M, II. Durst, on of th prim movers
in th hop growers' organisation, writes
Th Journal from Aurora:
"Th California committee, excepting
myself, left for California on December
SI, and I am leaving for Alameda, Cali
fornia, tomorrow.
'"We ar going horn fully satisfied
with the result obtained.
"W cam up here to submit our
plans to the Oregon and. Washington
hopgrowers and to secure their coopera
tion In the union movement, we have
begun. We hav been met In a frater
nal spirit, and have been accorded the
fairest hearing by all.
"We owe particular thanks to the
business men, bankers and to the press.
To The Journal we are indebted for
broad-minded and liberal treatment, and
our thanks ar due its commercial edl
Itor for courtesies extended us. Oflf
visit her ha secured for the union tne
help of broadmlnded business men
among th hopgrowers.
"W have developed leaders and push
ful workers among the hopgrowers of
Oregon and Washington.
"We go noma feeling su,re that our
work Is done and that those interested
In the Industry her and in Washington
will push it to an early and successful
issue.
"W feel that the work will go on In
our absence perhaps better than If we
remained. We know that hopgrowers
here and in Washington realize th fairness-
and Importance to them of the
movement, and that we can depend on
them to finish th work.
"Th selections made for directors are
gratifying to us. So far they ar all
broadmlnded, able men of affairs, and
men in whom all who know them put
Implicit confidence. The future of the
Pacific Coast Hopgrowers' union is and
may safely be left In their hands. We
look to them to be even more zealous
than we have been In California.
"Oregon hopgrowers will dominate
this union. They hav most to gain.
Thalr Interests ar naramount. Their
directors will be able to control the
directorate. They must be men of abil
ity, because everything win aepena on
them.
"We are working and aiming for the
fnt u r when one. this union Is an ac
complished fact, every acre of land now
devoted to hopgrowlng will be doubled
In value. That means millions added to
Oregon and Washington's wealth. When
this union is a fact. It will mean mill
ions more added annually to the re
sources of all our Pacific coast states.
"This union proposes to make an ag
gressive fight for the hop markets of
the world. When they ar partly gained
Oregon can double her area in hops and
be assured of not less than 15 cents per
pound for all the hops her people har
vest. "It means more population. It means
nitra rnnntrv outinsn for ths City peo
ple. ' It means more money annually for
families women, children, cripples and
physically weak people.
"It means competence tor many mro
now sutfer want. It means increased
health for the present generation and
more vigor for those to come. It means
the preservation of the Industry which
circulates more money among workers
In proportion to cost of production than
any other business, calling or trade.
"It means renewed life and vitality to
every town In the hopgrowlng sections.
It means more comforts and luxuries
for hopgrowers' families, larger iank
accounts, more of the good thtng of
life we Americana covet for those de
pendent on them. It means success and
competence in place of financial ruin.
"The CaMfomia delegation expect and
know they will be doing no Injury to
the cause by returning home. The work
now is in the hands of those most in
terested, and who will deserve most of
the credit when success comes.
"Every man who Is a ' hopgrower
should make It his particular business
to get In and push this union to a suc
cessful finish. The start has been
made, the inertia is overcome. W need
only to keep the movement going.
"There can be no failure now. We
hav som 400 of tho leading hopgrow
ers hsrd at work. Each man realises he
Is working for his family's good, also
that he is working for the good of his
hopgrowers neighbors. There can be no
higher Incentives for work.
"We hope within 10 days to be ad
vised thst 90 per cent of Oregon grow
ers have signed th bylaws. We are
aaatimd that SO oer cent of th Wash
ington growers will sign. And w feeU
Ilk Baying mat we wiu- secure m ai
80 to 90 per cent of all California
growers.
"It is necessary that there b no de
lay. W should soon get down to the
work of preparing to handle the grow
ing crop.
'If w can organize soon we may even
be able to take action toward Increasing
th value of hops now on hand. Let
every hopgrower get In and work for
the union and good prices for all hops
grown. H. DURST.

The general market started with som
