HERN
BUTTER MARKET IS,
WEAK WITH SOUT!
PRODUCT IN NORTH
Puoet Sound Purchases in California,
Instead of Here, Because or Reduced
Quotation Affects Local Trade to
Considerable Extent.
YYealoe is showing In the market for but
ter . U along the eoart. with recent flttdta
Hoim at California' points lower than wht tn
l'aciflc Northwest -ha been auoting. ,
--. Quite liberal supplies of California butter
hare m-chpd thi trade recently and greater
volume hat been morinr from tha South to
1'ngrt Sound point. , ; - .
Just at this tim the California market Is
somewhat of a regulator for the entire coast.
X Itnat Hound uaually purchase liberal up
plie of butter .In thi territory, ,th lower
price quoted by California baa earned the de
mand to co in that direction. The local market
usually , produce' more butter than needed for
home requirement and an outlet ia therefore
necessary.
For' years the local trade nea allowed Cali
f oral a to grab thia outside business whenever
the southern interest wanted-it. It ha been
harmful to ' the local Industry.

Rharnlv lower prices for strawberries were
shown -in- the -trade -for the day because of
hue offerings. On the East Side Fanners'

Hood Birer sold as high as 84.25. Much

According to C. Kay Beck ley, Just returned
from .his ranch near Condon, the cutting of al
falfa ' is under way. The first crop of that
section' is reported as going 2 to 2 tons per

Wool Bearish
Talk Joke
Speculative Interests' Trying to Fool
..Themselves and .Growers.
By My man m; Oohee
Talk by various Boston snd other eastern
speculatiT Interests of Impending weakness and
prbable lower prices for fleece ia one of those
Jokes that the Eastern trade is aeeatemd to pass
to the unraapeetine sheep man of the wort.
A careful investigation of the recent buying
of fleece ia the East as well at in the West indi
cates no earn at all for alarm among the wool
owners regarding the probable trend of value
within the immediate future So far a the better
quality wool is concerned. f -
Manufacturers have been i taking all of the
fleece that has been offered and hare not been
able to force any reduction It values. In fact
the principal complaint of the bis consuming
wool interests to date has been that the price
hare bean held too high. Many of them have
blamed the government for not standing in with
them and by damping huge quantities of wool
upon the market, force sharp reductions in the
pi ice. -'-i -
The bearish talk sent out by Boston at Inter
vals is more the matter of wish than any actual
condition. It is a natural condition that buy
ers and manufacturers would seek to secure their
fleece as cheaply as possible but their plans went
wrong thia season ; due in a measure to the fact
that most Pacific Northwest growers were in
formed regarding the true situation by The
Journal
Those desiring apecial information regarding
any market should write the Market Editor, en
closing stamp for reply. -

After a sharp break in the early .trading

Chicago. May 27. (I. N. 8.) Corn opened
strong to llic higher today on scattered com
mission house buying and a scarcity of offerings.
On the upturn, however, a house prominent on
the buying aide yesterday, filled the demand.

ADDED TO VALUE OFS
THE WHEAT CROPS
Recent Rains Hare Done Huge Good
to All Sections Prunes Are Badly
, Damaged and Output Severely Cut
Garden Truck Looks Good.
A million dollar rain is the way that. Eastern
and Central Oregon describes recent . shower
east of the Cascades. Reports received by The
Journal from various sections indicate "that
during the last few day several million bush
els have been added to the prospective - wheat
crop of the three Pacific Northwest states. .
Th rains have been a wonderful aid not
only to grain and bay, but ' to potatoes and
onions,
Some fruits have been aided by th showers,
but during the - last- day or so immense damage
has been done to the prune crop. - C. L. Dick,
in charge of the prune department of 'Mason,
Ehraan 4k Co. of this city, who has ju.vt re
turned from aa extended investigation of. the
prune crop of Clarke county, Washington, 'as
well as through the Willamette valley, says
that many thousands of acres 'are absolutely
without a single prune on th trees.
According to Mr. Dick, who is one of : th
foremost leaders of - th prune business, - he
would not figure the entire production thu
aeason of this section above 30.000.000 pounds,
a sensational decrease - from all previous esti
mates. ' ;.
According to Mr. Dick, the damage is shown
in practically all sections of ' the prune terri
tory. In Eastern Clark county the situation
ia very favorable, but elsewhere in that sec
tion : and especially around Felida, the crop
promises to be very short. . :'
Around Pallas and Forest Grove there 1 are
some very good yields in prospect, but even in
those districts there are many trees that . have
no prune at all in eight.
Indication continue to point strongly to
an immense peach crop, not only at Willamette
valley point, but in Eastern Oregon.
Apples continue to do well and prospects are
the most favorable for many yean, so far as
total production in Oregon and Washington ia
concerned.
Pear crop indicates a moderate production
with prospects somewhat mixed in various sec
tions. Potatoes, onion and garden truck indicate a
big output per acre thia season, although the
acreage of potatoes ia rather small aa com
pared with recent seasons. Tomato crop indi
cate a full production in the leading sections,
with the acreage the greatest ever known in -this
territory.

' Walker D. Hinaa. director general of rail
roads, today authorised the following:
The railroad administration ia giving careful
consideration - to the measure necessary for
the satisfactory transportation of the anticipated
large crops of grains. The department of agri
culture has estimated that the yield of winter
wheat will exceed. - 900,000,000 bushels. A
fair estimate of the yield, of spring wheat ap
proximates 800,000.000 bushels. The total
yield of wheat thia year will in all probability
exceed the total of last year by from three
to four million - bushels. No estimate of other
grains is, of course, possible at this time, but
barring unusual climatic conditiona is can
perhaps be properly -expected that the tonnage
in grain tha. will be produced this year will
exceed that of last year by a considerable
margin; ' . ... .,'
. The stable : prica fixed last year by the gov
ernment on wheat naturally provoked a desire
on the part of producer to realize - bia earn
ing aa quickly aa possible, and since a stable
price- has again been fixed by the - government
for this year' crop, it is assumed a similar
condition will obtain. Last year this economical
condition, coupled with more or less disar
rangement in ocean tonnage and consequent
disruption in shipping, resulted in such an
acute situation at the Interior ' grain markets
and at sesports that it became necessary to
install th so-called "permit system." which
was early made operative at the ports, and
in September, 1918, at the principal interior
markets.
The permit system is a highly beneficial
system of controlling traffic at the sources to
prevent serious congestion on the road and at
destination. This system prevented in the
fall of 1918 a serious transportation paralysis
of former years, due to widespread congestion of
traffic which which had been shipped but which
could not be disposed of at destination. This pa
ralysis of traffic in former years was most appar
ent in the East, but its injurious effects wen
felt throughout the country. It was the principal
cause of car shortages in every part of the coun
try and slowed down the movement of traffic and
impaired the transportation service everywhere.
While the permit system at the porta is
still in operation, it was suspended a few
months ago at the interior markets, due to
improved ocean shipping and the fact that the
bulk of the grain- had been moved. It is,
however, to be expected that the system will
again be inaugurated with th opening of the
new wheat season, and in view of that prob
ability the railroad administration is already
preparing the necessary machinery so that it
may be prepared to act without delay at the
proper time. Conferences have already been
held with representatives of the grain cor
poration. Aa graphically illustrating the necessity of
regulating the transportation of this tonnage,
and the results obtained from such regulation,
the following facts are of value and interest
ing : For the nine month of the crop year,
July 1, 1918. t May 1, 1919. there passed
through the grain handling facilities of the
country- elevators and miliar a total of 3,
440,286.000 bushels of all grains, although the
highest point of grain storage . of ail kinds,
at any one time in that period,: was 480,000,000
bushels. That ia, in nine months the flow of
grain waa seven times the quantity which ac
cumulated in storage at th highest point
during that period. This is a direct illustra
tion of the necessity of keeping the grain
handling facilities of the country , liquid. - to
avoid the distress to all interests ' that would
follow blocking of this Oow'of grain.
The permit system as operated last year
contemplated the closest cooperation between
the railroad administration and the United
States food administration-grain corporation.
Th local representative of tha grain corpora
tion were in daily contact with the grain con
trol committees at each market and i ia view
of the very comprehensive data and information
in their possession aa to storage facshties, an
ticipated movements out of markets, the needs
of different sections of th country, -hot . only
as to wheat but as to other cereals that flow
eoincidentallr with wheat, etc. were of inval
uable aid in the accomplishment of the permit
system with a minimum economic disturbance?
The same character of assistance is being ar
ranged for from th grain corporation or
the wheat director, in anticipation that it will
he necessary to reinaugurate the permit plan
within the next one or two months.
Th wheat director ia as vitally interested
as the railroad administration that) the grain
tonnage shall be handled with the least possible,
friction aa between all interests concerned, and
is in entire harmony with the railroad admin
istration as to tha plans proposed in that di
rection. ; It is the intention to keep the public fully
informed of the plana for the transportation
of the enormous grain crop and through the
cooperation of an interest concerned it should
be possible to meet what otherwise might prove
a difficult situation.

green bugs are attacking the oats. Cool wet
leather ia favorable for development of the oat
l'.u-te, a specie cf the green bur family. - I have
never een a field of oats in all my experience
