Win ter wheat and alfalfa maul fair growth, but the cool weather retarded th growth of spring wheat, oata, barley, com and gardea truck. Paaturaga is good, and stock ar thriv ing. 'ITie frosts and freezing temperaturea of the preceding week are found to have caused con siderable Injury to fruit In extreme southern and eastern counties, and lndlcatlona are for a light crop of peaches snd a fair yield of cherries. ports on the apple crop from southwestern counties were not received.

Year ago Notwithstanding th talk la some quarter that tbe bay market la very weak, tbe real trade bere la excitedly firm. One of tbe niot prominent local bonara freely offered $22 30 for a earload of common Willamette valley timothy, during the last 24 boura to otter dealers, bnt waa unable to aecure sup plies. Eaatero Oregon timothy wa being of fered by tbe trade bere in carload lots around $26.5027.60 a too, indicating. If anything, that the market was firmer Instead of weaker. Tbe offerings of California bay are limited and for thla the price la being held firm. Within aeveral daya it U expected that raclflc northwest alfalfa bay will start to market. The crop tbla season Is ssld to be of quit fair volume, but It la not likely that there will be free offerings wltbin the imme diate future except at high prices. Hay men have kftl their price ldeaa boosted by tbe recent scarcity of supplies, therefore, it Is si.fe to presume that alfalfa prices will start Somewhat higher this season tban normal.

Price Recovery Is Shown in Chicago Chicago. May 24. (I. N. S.) Another re covery wa posted on th Chicago grain mar ket today. All the grain made gains dur ing the primary trading. Thla followed up tb recovery of Tuesday, when tbe grains In very claa hit an upward trend after losing between 5 and 8 cent during th week past. The general recovery is mainly dna to con tinued weakening in peace reporta and the mnDy dispatches from the grain belts telling of crop damage. Crop report! daring the lat ter part of last week failed to affect the de cline, because of the heavy liquidation on the part of the bears. Kanaaa City wheat sold up 1 cent. Corn planting Is nearlng completion under roost favorable conditions and aa a result a bearish tendency probably will hold the mar ket down despite the increase in wheat prices. Primary receipta are low at this time. Green bugs In Oklahoma oat fields assisted In holding tbe oats market steady with slight gains being recorded during the first deals. The provision market waa affected material ly by tbe recovery Id th price bf grain and today showed slight gains.

Mortcage loan men question the wisdom of the pending congressional rural credit legislation. They are willinr to admit a captain amount of prejudice. Their bailo complaint against It is that It neither represents economic, truth nor sound business principles. It la an at tempt, they aay. to make ao artificial rata of Interest, one that la not based oa the law of supply and demand. They claim they do not fear Ha competition. It will make them work harder, that la all. It Is further maintained that the law la not practically applicable to this section. The private concern can make loans more quickly than can the government. There la no standard of values In this state at present, ax cept, perhaps, a small section of the Willamette valley. Hood River and other polnta. The local aituatlon does not compare with the highly devel oped sections Of the eaat, and certainly not with Europe, on whose experience the law waa baaed. The only appeal the measure will make, It la aald, will be to the prosperous farmer who can get good ratea now. It can not be of service to the undeveloped farm re gion, any more than can the regular loan agent. atorkgage Mea Baa Oloomy Ontlooav The Farm Mortgage Bankers' asso ciation of America, with offices In Chicago, aends out the following "warn ing to farm mortgage bankers," under date of May 18: "In some respects the situation is similar to that prevailing prior to the disastrous smash-up in certain terrl tory in the '60's, with Its resultant trail of foreclosures and bankruptcies. What are eome of the possible results Of a condition of affairs such as now confronts us? "First A tendency toward the or ganlaatlon of concerns Inexperienced In farm mortgage banking, which are likely to produce and offer for sale mortgagea that are not only Inferior but ara fundamentally unsafe and un aound. "Second A tendency to encourage some of the existing farm mortgage houses to become less conservative In their practiaes and likewise produce and Offer for sale an inferior grade of mortgages which in normal timea would not be considered for a moment. "The effect of such a procedure in either case would be the reaping of a harvest of foreclosure, resulting In shattering the confidence of a class of Investors that haa been educated to farm mortgage investments through high class mortgage bankers based on long yeara of conscientious, square dealing."

W. B. Henderson, oommarelal agent at Seattle, Wash., has had printed In "Commerce Reports, the, dally publication of the bureau of fore eign and domestic commerce, which is" sent all over the world, a page account , of Oregon's experimenting with flax culture. The account tells both Of th I experiment made at the state penlten-t : tlary last year and the experiment, j being made near Eugene Jointly by tht :: State, and the chambers of commerce 1 of Eugene and Portland this year. J These two bodies have raised a fund Of $6000 to secure the Immediate planting of 300 acres of flax, says tb report , The state has made a. dlreot offer to farmers to pay a fixed amount par ton: for flax of a specified quality. The state will handle the flax at Salem Met sell the product It la hoped that sufficient profit will be made so that the state can reimburse itself and thus continue the experiment Indefinitely,, i The state is having the work super vised by a Belgian expert, and ma-' chlnery for harvesting and preparing, the, flax is being installed. teel Business Arte tag) Waiv Joseph a. liutler, of Youngetown, Ohio, prominent in steel manufacture ing. says: Aside from the unnatural expanalon in many lines, due great! x, to the war demand, there haa been as on numerous occtalons In th Unit ed States, a tremendous aympathetia expansion caused by easy money and the American desire to overlook M 0VJ portunlty for Increased business. Any inflation that may result through thS, operation o&the Federal Reserve bank, system has its expansion In the con- ditions above referred to. Its Char acterlatic will be largely overproduce tion in industrial lines, with exoosses of investment naturally expecting to profit from increased production. .J It is undeniable that conditions, mora particularly In the Iron and eteel busl-f ness. are most rosy. I think the ln flation of prices has gone too far, and! the Inevitable reaction will be damag-. lng. I can already see signs of halting in the building trade, caused by the high price of building materials and the rapid advancing of akilled as well au unskilled labor. This will no doubt extend and arrest development in other lines.
