every day of fair weather has fa

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'. He i 3 reselling these
runes packed, straight thirties for
9 c. packed f . o. b. ' Salem. Ills
30-35s will grade out some 20-SOs
which are worth real money.
Talk about I taking 'candy, from
babies. Of course, these growers
are up against it. Some hare
their last year's prunes yet.
Their money is -gone and ' their
credit is gone. 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." :.,...... Si ....... ,

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-

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.
