DOWN
Potato Culture
To Improve
Invasion of Central Oregon by Cali
fornia Means Improvement.
By Hyman II. Cohen
That Oregon will be pushed to the
very front rank as a potato producing
election as a result of the heavy buying
of lands In the- central portion of the
tats by leading CaHfomla growers. Is
now foreseen by the trade generally.
Statements that first appeared regard
ing the Bale of the lands in the Red-mond-Prinevllle
section to California in
terests, Indicated that the total yalue
was about $50,000, but those In the
lead of the venture say that the outlay
is closer to 200,000.
Central Oregon has come to the front
rank as a quality potato producer and
the action of the California growers in
making huge purchases of land in that
district means that others will follow.
Within a few years it Is expected that
Central Oregon will produce as many
potatoes as the entire state of Oregon
Is growing at this time.
One good result will come from the
Invasion of Oregon by the California
growers. They will show the natives
how to grow potatoes and will make
the selection of seed one of the chief
factors. The seed proposition has been
almost entirely neglected In this state
to date, resulting in deteriorating qual
ity. Those desiring special information regarding
any market should write the market editor
Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for reply.
Buyers Competing
For Quality Turk in
In Roseburg Section
Roeburg. No 21 The turkey market
opened in this city Wednesday for the Thank--giving
trade. Buyer are invading the local
field from Seattle. Portland' and flan, Fran
cisco. The Seattle buyers are reiTgerntaiivea
of the Independent Packing company and the
Pacific Coast Meat company. They have estab
lished headquarter here and are the strongest
buyers in the market. t.arge banners were
placed all over the city, stating that the high
est cash prices would be paid for the lncsl birds.
A few growers brought in birds this afternoon,
but the majority will he markets! Tliurnlay
and Friday. The market opened for top birds
at 40c and up.
The Ho?eburg product is the choice of th
Paci'ic coest, according to F. H. felman ai
Seattle, who has been a buyer in the local
market for the last eight years. For font
rea.on or other, the Oregon birds are of a much
better quality than the Washington ami Idaho
turkey, and bring a better price on the market..
Whether it is the feed or range or the. climate
he wan unable to state. The local birds are in
fine condition.
Factory Closing Is
Corn Bear Factor
By Joseph Prltehard
Chicago, Nov. 21. (I N. 8.) Corn showed
losses ol W 1 H c at the close today. Shortly
before the elope December reached $1 33 Vi ,

rested.

Provisions were up slightly.
Chicago. Nov. 21. (I. N. S.J The closing
of a number of Industrial plants because of the
coal shortage served as an incentive for a sharp
decline .in corn prices-which at the start todsy
showed a loss of from He to 1 c over yes
terday's close. Professional bulls and some east
era houses bought on the decline.
Oats at Uie start were Vi c lower. Trade was

iFall Salmon Season
Is About to Close
Astoria. Nov. 21. The fall fishing season
on all coast streams of Oregon with the ex
ception of the Columbia and Nehalem rivers
ended yesterday. It is expected that the sea
son on these two streams will be terminated
by the canners before the law arbitrarily stops
It on December 10. The fall run of silver
sides was not large, the canners report, but
they cannot state how much below the 1918
pack the figures will show the season to have
been.
The packers this week cut the price of
chums from 5 to 8 cents a pound and that
on silversides from 10 to 8 cents. One canner
received a total of 28 tons of cbuma one day
tilt's week.

CARE
IS
IN BUYING APPLES
Efforts Are Being Made to Market
Frozen Stock Here General Trade
Refuses to Handle it In Portland.
The public is warned against the pur
chase of frosted apples of which Hood
River and 6ther Columbia river sec
tions are now freely offering to this
market. The trade is aghast at the
nerve of the producers in trying to un
load this unfit stock on the consumer
and the leading houses of Front street
assert they will have nothing whatever
to do with such offerings.
Several carloads of this frosen stock have
been offered to the trade here and one inde
Ienclent handler is said to have- decided to take
bold. The apples are already beginning to
show the effect of the freeaa and are fast
rotting. In order to save themselves from loss
some of" the growers are trying to market this
stock independent of their regular association
and the public is warned to be careful in its
purchases.
Such action on the part of growers is de
precated by the general trade as well as by
many producers because of the adverse effect it
will have upon the local market. This stock
cannot be shipped any long distance, therefore
Portland is considered the logical place to dump
It upon an unsuspecting public.
For good apples the local market is active with
prices showing practically no change.

Portland continues to retain its proud
position as paying more to hog pro
ducers than any other nationally known
stockyards in the country. Cattle and
sheep are steady.
Receipts in the hog slleys at North Portland
were rather fair for the Friday trade. Killers
here continue anxious bidders for offerings de
spite the further spread of depression in the
eastern trade and the lower prices resulting
there.
Tops here continued at $16.50 and killers
were glad to pay this price.

The Portland office of the Cfrain cor
poration is investigating the local ter
ritory situation to see whether the pub
lic of this section really wants to pur
chase "straight" flour at reduced prices.
An order to self straight flour in the
smaller sacks to the public was an
nounced by Director Barnes several
days ago in The Journal but no action
will be taken here until Vice President
Houser, In charge of zone 10, makes his
investigation.
Mr. Houser has sent out the following an
nouncement: Wheat Director Julius Barnes yesterday put
the solution of one phase of the high cost of liv
ing directly ud to the consumer, by making it pos
sible for the purchaser of flour to decide for
himelf whether he will continue to pay fancy
prices for special brands or buy at a lower price
pure straieht flour made from the finest wheat.
Following a conference of the vice presidents
of Ea-trrn xones of the United States Grain
corporation with Mr. Barnes, the corporation lias
announced that it will offer to the retail trade,
particularly in the Urge cities, under it& own
brand, standard pure wheat straight flour in
24 and 12 pound packages, at prices wnicn
will reflect the grain corporation's buying price
of the flour. 1
This will place in the hands of the consumer
a cla?s of flour made from the best wheat and
used in large quantities before the war by both
bakers and the grocery trade. The bread of
fered is the regular straight flour. It Ls in no
way identified with the war grade flour, a dis
tinction which should be fully appreciated by the
consumer.
Rumors, possibly inspired by over zealous
flour salesmen. haTe been current in the mar
ket from time to time of an impending flour
shortage and the possibility that the use of sub
stitutes would be resumed. Mr. Barnes assert
that there is no authority whatsoever in the
present food regulstions for the reinstatement of
the u of substitutes or of war flour.
Owing to the short crop of spring wheat this year
203.000.000 bushels against 350 ,000,000 buih
els last year certain grades of flour are scarce.
HcweTer. figures for the total crop of wheat show
918,000,000 bushels against 917.000,000 bush
els last year. In addition to this 57.000,000
bushels of old wheat were carried over.
Production of flour has been extremely heavy
and for the season ending November 17 has
amounted to 52.433.00. barrels against 43.
174.000 barrels la.-t year. Exports have been
only about the same as la.it year. Consequently
flour stocks are very heavy and amounted to
about 50t per cer.t more than a year ago on No
vember i.
Many reports concerning scarcity of flour and
advancing prices for certain grades have reached
Mr. Barnes. The facts are that stocks of flour
aie very large and production enormous. There
fore, the wheat director has determined to place
in the hands of the retail trade in the laige
cities, particularly, a supply of straight flour
from the hnmeme stocks of the grain corporation
at nominal prices.
This flour will be available in about three
weeks in the larger cities. It ia expected the
retail price will be about 75o for a 12 pound
sack.
Broomhall Crop Report

Western Europe Wintry weather prevails
over this territory. Farm work is geuerslly
well advanced and the agricultural outlook LMn
be considered promising.
Itaiy Reports from this country mention
that, it is the current belief a larger acreage
will be put to wheat this season.
Spain Seeding conditions lor the new crops
have been very favorable and good progress has
been made.
North Afric Weather favored seeding oper
ations and indications can be iavorably re
garded. Germany Labor difficulties are reported in
