Better Seed for
Spuds Needed
Oregon Growers Must Change Their
. Methods to Regain the Market.
By Hyman H. Cahaa
Aa alarming situs ti on is shown in tha pota
to market here aa regarde quality. For years
Oregon potatoes ware tha standard by which
praeticaSy all other pot toe along tha coast
were Judged but today tha Oregoa stack baa ao
reputation whatever la outside markets except
perhapa aa indicating to what . low level tha
quality can drop. .
I was talking to a potato buyer from Stockton.
Cat., J. F. Battaglia. of Walter A. Perry, and ha
waa aot trying to knock Oregoa potatoes but was
simply relating tha situation.
Ha said that Oregoa potato growers must im
mediately Chang their aead and secure better
quality or they will find all outside markets op
posed to buying their atock. At tha present time,
according to Mr. Battaglia, and this ia confirmed
by othar dealers, it is difficult at times for even
expert buyers to tell whether soma of the seed
stock here is of tha Burbank or American Won
der variety. That Oregoa aead has run out and
that an immediate change of stock ia necessary
b the word that is put forth by buyers.
According to Mr. Battaglia. hie firm sold re
cently on the same day Oregon American Won
ders at Ita Stockton, CaL, store at $1.75 par
eental and at the very aarae time sold Americsn
Wonders from the Sacramento section at $2.75
par cental. Stockton atoek ia getting the repu
tation for quality ia that eountry, while grower
are afraid to plant tha Oregon atoek.
Tb trouble witb tha average Oregon potato
grower ia that instead of keeping hi beat atoek
for seeding purposes, ha has sold all tha best
quality and plants only such stock that cannot
be sold. : Poor seed, therefore, does not grow
anything hot poor potatoes. '

market ahould address th Market. Editor, enclos

Corn and Oats in
A Bearish Position
By Joseph F. Prltchard
Chicago, March 25. (L N. S.) Another
day of record high prices on corn. Eastern houses
again led ia th baying of May corn, and resting
spots for tha day showed net advance of 3 cents
for March, 1 and i.K cent for May. Ts and
1 cent for July, and H and cent for Sep
tember. Oats were weak and H and H cent
lower. Provision were 10 and 55 cent lower,
pork showing the greatest weakness.
Chicago. March 25. (I. N. S.) Corn
opeued H and 4 e lower today. . The market
started with scattered eelling. Offers dried up
with tha decline, however, and the market re
covered easily on scattered commission house
buying. Trade was nervous and mixed. Tha
volume of business was not large.
Oats opened He lower to He higher. The
volume of business was small, with both selling
and buying on a limited scale.
Provisions opened lower. Trading waa light
and without feature.

Northwest milling and grain Interests are wor
rying much these days over what they consider
lack of keeping faith by tb government ia pro
viding ships for tha shipment of flour from the
coast. - ,
Still another Teasel which the trada her bad
expected to be sent out with a cargo of flour
has been withdrawn from th lilt and hag been
placed on the Hawaiian run.
No purchases- of flour are being mad by th
government her and stocks at the' milts ara pil
ln up in aa alarming manner. Government of
ficials say they do not know when they will pus
chase supplies because they cannot tell when
they will secure th shine for loading.
The trada ha been led to believe thst tha
flour shipments would be taken car of first of
all, or as soon as any ships were available, but
a number - oT vessels expected for thia purpose
have been diverted into other channels.
Market for coarse grains continue to reflect
great strength at country points, both oats and
barley prices being higher during tha last 24
hours. -
