Albany, Deo. 8. M. 8. Shrock. presi dent of the Oregon Dairy association, has issued a statement In connection with the forthcoming ; dairymen's con vention, to be held at Albany, explain ing why it has been decided not to con duct a scoring contest for dairy but ter.' Mr.' Shrock says; '?'i' V--;-' 'The exeoutlve ' committee I of the Dairymen's association has decided not to conduct a scoring contest for dairy butter at the coming convention to be held -at Albany, December-1-20 but instead the association will offer special f-prizes for milk and cream. i : "Dairy butter; Is a small factor In .Aetlfirtt-i rat en r xrra A n rm as an wtt ntln 11o ' All' tne Dutter is manuraaturea in tne large creameries and Is known .as Creamery nutter, inia latter comes unaer tne management of the Butter and Cheese makers' association, and they are pre paring for larger number of exhibits Loan .ever ooiure. - ----- -.- " - "Under the Dresent Methods the dairy man's work s to produce milk or cream for the factory or for dlreot consump tion. Ills akill Is shown by the Quality of the raw nroduct ha nroduces. and since present day practices have' taken away from, him the task of making the nnianea prouuet,. nis natural pride should bo to oroduoa the very, best milk Or oream possible. To stimulate the work of improving the raw product the scoring contest of milk and cream has been arranged, the. details of which, to gether With the prizes offered, will be announced soon. - "It is a lamentable fact that at the recent dairy show, held at the Union Stockyards, Portland, where prizes were also offered for milk and cream as well as for other dairy producta, not a single sample of milk or cream was entered by any Oregon dairyman. This may be acoUnted for by the fact that it was new, It being the first acoring contest of milk and cream ever held in the state. I sincerely hope the results at the pom Ins- convention will be different and that wo may have samples of both milk and cream rrom every aairy com munity in the state. "Rules and announcement Of prizes offered will be publlahed In the vari ous farm papers In time for the con test, but to make doubly sure that you will be informed write at once to the aeri-Atary. P.

Dec. 2-rGrowera of potatoes throughout thla section have been working hard to complete harvest- lna- their crons dunnar.tne cast two weeka. and althouitb prospects for re munerative prices are far from encour aging, the major portion oi tne crop is now housed or in pita. - Much of the stock has been taken out ef thft soil while it was still too Wet. and as a result additional labor will be required to put the potatoes in ahape to pasa Inspection of buyers. A nominal amount of business Is reported at prices ranging rrom 4uc to tuo a nunarea to the growers, according to quality. . Renorta that the tubera lank keeping qualities and will nut hold up for any lengtn or lime are unconurmea in mis locality, and barring an occasional showing of blight, the quality of the po tatoes Is fully up to standard.

Winter wneat reports are generally favorable. The Oklahoma report given out ' late Saturday made the condition 87.8 as-alnst 77 last year, and the acre age Is 8.46 per cent less. The govern ment report, witn tne acreage ana con dition of winter wheat, will b given out December 9 at 1:16 p. m.. Chicago time. Sentiment among corn traders veered to the bull side, and ths close found a number of them long, while a few of the largest operators ara bearish and short. Weather conditions were favor able, for busking and curing the crop and the quality has improved so that local elevator people are making con tract corn and have littles trouble In doing It, as the quality Is unusually good. Cash business has improved and more corn has been sold for July-February shipment than the trade knows of. Reports from Iowa say that the crlha are full and farmera will sell their auppllea, elthough they are getting only 88 to 35 cents.

(Salem Boreas ef The' Jourael.! Salem, Or., Dec a. The Inevitable clash between ths stats railroad com mission and the railroad companies of Oregon was precipitated today when the Oregon Electrlo attempted Jo file a new freight tariff not In conformity with the Medford freight rate- bill, passed by initiative vote of ths people at ths recent election. The new tariff con talned the existing rates of the Oregon Electric, but In addition showed rates over the company's extension from Al bany to Eugene. The commission re fused to file It and Is returning 4lt to the company with notification that it does not conform with ths Medford rate bill, which so far nas pussled all rate experts. .. ..-..,.':...: .,. As this measure las been In effect Since election day, every railroad that has shipped a carload of freight in violation of the act is subject to a fine of. $100 for each carload. Thla especially pertains to shipments of groceries, as there la remarkable reductions In rates on this class of carload shipments, In order to enforce the new law or get It Into tho courts for interpreta tion, it is likely the railroad commis sion will at ones ascertain what car load shipments have been made con trary to the new rates and bring a grist of suits. At thg rate of $100 per carload, if ths fines should bs col lected, they would amount to a tidy sum. Rate experts hers declare that ths railroad companies are almost helpless in trying to make freight tariffs in conformity with the new law, as they declare it is practically Impossible, but at the same time the railroad commis sion Is taking a determined stand to attempt to enforce tho law.
