CENTRAL OREGON
POTATOES SEEK
PORTLAND TRADE
"We are unabloto market eurcrop
except at a loss, says A- 1. Houmard
of Redmond In a letter to The Journal.
"Your market editor baa declared
that Central Oregon nptatoea are vin
heatahle anywhere in the world," he
adds.-"".,'. -.-'j
"Freight rates are against u and
Portland dealers do not seem to ap
preciate our quality." --'--.
Houmard wants to know what can
be done to get the exceptional Central
Oregon potatoes into the hands of local
consumers.
"Why doesn't he take the question
tin with tha railroader" sakced Karvev
Lounsbury, general freight agent of
the Union Pacific In Oregon. - iNoth-
ing .has corns to my attention and it
seems to, me that people who want
favorable rates ought to come di
rect to us.
f"The Oregon Trunk railroad has
. never paid a cent. But we are in
terested in the development of Central
Oregon, want it settled and want' to
bee it producing tonnage."
' Discussion brought out the fact that
the Redmond producers who are nearer
Portland. But it was explained that
the rate is influenced by the competi
tive situation created by the proximity
of Seattle and Tacoma to Yakima. Ne
such competitive Influence affects the
rates from Redmond.
Reference was also made to the 20
per cent reduction granted Idaho pro
ducers as an emergency rate. Louns
bury said this rate was granted to ap
ply to new potatoes grown under ir
rigation by Idaho farmers who had
about 12,000 cars to ship. New pota
toes are a perishable product and ad
celerated marketing was an object.
"The Idaho producers are now pe
titioning aa extension in this rate,
which expires September SO, and if
granted it would mean that corres
ponding reduction would be made from
other potato producing points."
That Redmond enjoys the same
rates to Eastern markets as Yakima
was stressed by Lrounsbury. who said
that the chief potato markets for the
Northwest are la the East.
"The real reason for , the outcry."
he said, "is that there is the greatest
potate crop- is history this year. I
quote from a department of agricul
ture bulletin.. The average of potatoes
In the United States from 191 to 1920
was 37S.417.00 bushels. The 1921 crop
amounted to 246.823,000 bushels. The
estimate-of the" 1922 crop for September
1 was 428,298,000 bushels, a gain of
nearty 100,000,000 bushels.
."The rats on potatoes from Red
mond to Portland Is 2$ cents a hundred
pounds, from Yakhna 21 H cents a
hundred pounds.. The difference would
not affect the movement materially
if the . crop was short and the de
mand Keen. It is. the abundance of
production that makes marketing dif
ficult." . -

PORTLAND HAS BAY
With prospects of better weather
than lias prevailed during the first
half of the week, today, Portland day
promises to be the banner day of the
fair in point of attendances
Fifteen thousand residents of Salem
and surrounding territory dared the
elements to do their worst yesterday
and wended their way enthisiastlcally
out to the big show at the state fair
grounds. The same 16,009 people
wended their way wearily bemeward
later, rain soaked and mud . be
spattered, but Just as enthusiastic over
the bigness of the agricultural ana
live stock exposition which had been
prepared for their inspection ana
thoroughly appreciative of the efforts
of the fair management to give them a j
run for their money, rain or shine. It
was not a record breaking crowd as
records are generally counted. Last
year nearly ' 40,000 people paid their j
way into the same fair grounds. But
it was, to say the least, aa . undisput-
able demonstration of the tact that
Salem and Marlon county are 100 per
cent back of the state ralr.
&AI2T PALLS OIT CROWDS
By no stretch of the Imagination could
the dav be classed as an ideal one
for "do(ng" the fair. Rain fell in
showers and sheets all day long with
only an occasional let up.
But Salem has shown the world that
no amount of rain can dampen her
ardor when it Is Salem day at the
State fair.
It was a thoroughly good natured
crowd that Jostled and pushed and el
bowed its way back and forth through
the pavilions and stock barns and
along the cement walks in an effort to
accumulate Just as little mud as pos
sible in their Journeying' from one
building to another. In short it was
ideal day for "webfoots" and an ideal
"webfoot" crowd.
Stoudenmeyer's band played both
morning and afternoon and the G. A. R.
veterans' fife and drum corps contrib
uted its share to the gaiety of the
occasion.
