There is 'still some brown rot in most of the or chards; but, with the first and second pickings, and continued fair weather,, the danger of much loss will be passed. Rains would render - the loss great. As to the prune market, it is a waiting game. The opening priced of the cooperative associations are not yet ready for announce ment it is a' matter that Is hav ing profound consideration; but the conclusions hare not yet been reached.. i. .'.t".- ' " The following two articles from the September number of the Oregon Grower, the magazine of the ; Oregon Growers Cooperative association, will be read with in terest by all growers and others' interested in the outlook: ;, r; "What Makes the Quiet Prune J ".-i : Market? 'A number of causes First, the 'refusal of the trade to stock up for a long time ahead. This is caused by a tendency in the past year or two for. the-, prunes to start oft high and then expert ence a gradual decline in prices. No man is willing to gamble on a sure loss. As many buyers have stated, 'We are. not buying until n rices are bed rock ; and there Is no chance for lowering values and some chance of prioes going higher.'Second, good crops in both California and the north west last year. Third, the loss of nearly two months consuming period last fall due to poor and slow transportation. Fourth, an over abundance of certain Bizes in the northwest due to the heat wave of September, 1922. The northwest should produce thirties and forties as the big percentage of its crop. : Instead it turned out 1 Vi o'er cent thirties and 37 per cent fifties. These small sizes came in direct competition with every other prune producing sec tion in the world. ' "Our future lies in the larger Italian prune. In the meantime, let's not get panicky. but realize that 'the trade ultimately needs our goods." ' "Low Prune Prices, and Why? "We hare maintained right along that we would , see , our cheapest prunes at drying time or Boon after. Without making any claim for unusual facilities in foretelling, the future, the present price at which, some growers are now 'selling to private packers would seem to Justify our predic tion. One packer is now paying for 30-35, 6; for 35-40, 6c; for 40-42. 6c; for 42-45, 5c, and for 45-50, 5c. This really means 6c for thirties and 5 cents for forties'.

Couple this with a temporary buyers' strike " and you have an ideal combination for low s 'prices entirely unjustified, of course, f It , is a dead mortal cinch if here In the northwest we don't make any profit on the larger sizes we won't make it on the runts." :.,......

THE SITUATION AS TO NOT F Many, Suggestions as to Re lief, But There Is Only One Right Way Out '.. ' :: : ; - " ' ":" ' WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. "It is highly important to keep facts in! mind if we are to reach sound conclusions in the consideration of economic problems.Y" remaks the Republican Publicity-association, though its pesident, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "One of the most pressing problems now before the, Amerian . people. Is that of 'aiding what growers in their financial difficulties. Although It is not the province of the govern ment to guarantee any Industry against losses incident to unfav orable natural ; conditions or ab normal" circumstances surround ing markets "yet there are some facts in connection with the re lations between wheat growers and the j government which - Justify some special effort in5 their be half. That , is true of some other industries. The government has undertaken, for Instance, to' reg ulate railroad rates, to prescribe conditions of railroad service, and to fix the wages railroads must pay.. That degree of interference- with the business of the railroads imposes upon the government an obligation to see that such regula tions does not drive , them to bankruptcy. "In the past .the- government Interferred withj the profits of wheat- growers in a way that im poses upon the government an ob ligation to "look after their pres ent welfare in a. way that it Is not obligated to look alter, the welfare of other industries. Dur ing the war a food' control law was enacted and in an effort to encourage production! of wheat) congress fixed what was intended to be a minimum price. Believ ing that they were certain to re ceive -this minimum many farm ers engaged -more extensively in wheat production. But under reg ulations which the Wilson admin istration adopted, the minimum price became in effect a maximum price, with many deductions on ac count ot inferior grades, distance from markets, etc., so- that wheat farmers were much disappointed In the returns they received... "Grain farmers were not: per mitted to; profiteer during the war as most other industries were free to do. Moreover, the policy of the government in making cost plus contracts for . construction and : for war supplies was such as to encourage payment of high wages and increases In cost of production. Under policies adop ted by the Wilson administration the cost of operating the railroads was enormously I increased. Be cause of those high , costs of pro duction largely In force still, the priced manufacturers of commodi ties must charge and the , rates which transportation companies must receive have not been re duced. Prices. of most farm pro ducts, and of wheat in particular, have- however, come down. "In an interview' on August 20, 1923, Secretary of v Agriculture Wallace summarized the situation in .which the farmer is placed with relation to other Industries. He said: x " The farmer could get along fairly wellwith present prices of what he has to sell If prices of what he must buy were' down ac cordingly. But prices of other things remain high. That is what hurts. Wages in Industry and on the railroads are almost twiceas high as before the .war. Taxes are about twice as high. Freight rates are from 50 to 75 per cent -I higher. Metals, building materials ARB The Surest Way to Get Industries Is to Support of all kinds, are from 50 to 100 per cent above pre-war prices.. All of these items in the farmer's cost of production. "During a sensational campaign one of the newly elected United States senators advocated higher wages for railroad men and higher returns to. the farmer. When re mined that higher wages for tans portation workers necessitates high rates to be paid by the farm er, the hew statesman replied: 'I haven't worked . out the details yet.' -y ' "Obviously, he has not." ; What Is the Remedy? The above Mr, Bourne, who was formerly United . States senator from Oregon, is well written. Mr. Bourne gives Ja! good outline of the situation But he does not give the rem edy; he does hot say how the gov ernment is to discharge its obli gations to the wheat growers. . Others are suggesting various schemes, including the purchase by the government of a large ton nage of wheat and withholding it from the markets. A voluntary reduction of acreage in wheat is Kdothetr suggestion. Thiere . are numerous others. - But there can . be no perman ent relief till the home markets are brought up to the point of re quiring all the wheat and other grains - grown in the United States ' ' ; And this can be done by making this country self sufficient in the production of all the sugar we use in our own territory, and all the wool we need, and all the flax and hemp products, all the pota to flour and starch and dextrine, and a thousand other things for which we draw upon foreign coun tries, empoying labor in those counties instead of our own And our government can help in bringing about these condi tions, but putting into effect a business . administration of the United States agricultural depart ment and the branches of the other departments . having to do with the exploitations of our own re sources, and the development of our own country. This can be done.' And, again, there is no other effective way. If this coun try can be brought up to self suf- The following is from the, Sep tember number of the Oregon Grower, the magazine of the Ore gon Growers Cooperative tassocia tion: '- ' ' ."The association handles' a very large tonnage of dried logans.

WHY TABLE FOWL OUGHT TO BE FAT A discussion at the second Brit ish Poultry Parliament brought out some interesting facts on the fattening of poultry meat, and the reason why Mr. Ultimate Consum er is partial to properly condition ed birds for table purposes. . The discussion forcibly brought out the facts that' when . animals are in lean condition, there is a consider able amount -of moisture in , the muscles or tissues. , If the meat from it be, roasted "this moisture evaporates, - leaving the flesh ' dry. That is why lean or hard fleshed fowls are usually boiled. As a re sult of the process of fattening, the moisture is substituted Iby globules of fat.. Thus, up to a given point, there Is no actual In crease of weight. After that such increase ' is mainly due to fatty deposits in various parts of - the body and if continued too far.it is wasteful. This fat makes the muscles soft and flabby,, produc ing' that mellowness which is de sired In flesh on birds intended for consumption as food, but which, if the bird is kept alive, might lead to disease. When roasted the fat melts, keeps the flesh soft and really self-bastes the meat. It is thus -truly eco nomical, adding greatly to"" the quality and flavor. The aditlonal weight more than compensates for the cost, though that is of less im portance than the gain In . other ways. There is a natural fatten ing process at certain periods of a fowl's life, when the body 'is plump and the flesh soft. Forced fattening aims, to secure the same result at other times.
