as the previous extreme figure, other

highest point on the present movement.

the Portland wholesale trade. On every
side it is now apparent that the reaction
In prices on many farm products has
been too low. This is Indicated espe
cially In dairy products.

tha market department of Tha Journal to tha
effect that Portland was ia reality tha lowest
market for eggs in the entire country, and that
this condition waa scarcely a natural one There

While no further action was taken on cheese
prices by Tillamook makers during the week,
s general cut of lc a pound was acted fat the
selling price here.- This waa due to a general

despite the fact that cheese centers elsewhere are
beginning to show signs of revived activity. The
one bis drawback to the leesl situation is th
(act that many small factories, which hart

gency tariff bUl 4y the senato roreaiiadowed for

eney of selling. In some honeea stocks have
been absorbed freely, the remainder being largely
con signed lots, the sale of which st the market
level has been vetoed by ths owner.
WTuie it is pot easy to get partimilars of
sales swing to ths attitude ol nssmiiacturert,
eneoeh is known to abow that a steady nnsnmit
ia in p egi esa.
The Boston wool trade was given s disagiee .
able surprise when it waa announced to be the
purpose of the war department to resume tlie
auction sales, ths first sale to be held May 2 5.
Reoeipts for the week were: Dome 1 tic 1.869,

Bitting the caterpillars
Bosebnrg, Or., Msy 1. Caterptusri are-sow
on ths defensive in this sector snd the ruthless
warfare being waged against, them by the farm
ers still continues. With the antinoe of orch
ard experts tha local growers have sprayed their
orchards with a preparation guaranteed to destroy-
the posts. The work Is proving effective
snd tha eaterpUHr are gradually retiring to
the oak treea Their destructive work cab be
easily noticed en ths foliage of tits trees.
Without the spraying it ia very possible that
the entire 1922 prune preapsota would nave bees
destroyed.
