be first choice, but if not possible
to get certified seed of these three

insure a good crop and a quality
of potatoes that - CANNOT BE
BEATEN anywhere, ia the United
States. -
. Growers Must Standardize
Our grading regulations are the
same as Idaho, and, there is no
reason whyXlrjB a. potatoes
should .jnot . commaxtd an equal
price at all times'. Our growers
must wake up to the condition
they are, in today instead of plant
ing all mixed varieties of pota
toes, as they have been in the
habit-of doing in the past. They
must standardize their potatoes
and grow the varieties that the
trade will call for. Why have a
pit of potatoes that the grower
himself cannot tell what variety
they are, which is a fair example
of the condition in Oregon at the
present time?
There are thousands oT acres of
good potato land in the Willam
ette valley that could be used for
potatoes, and the yield would be
enough to make it a very profit
able business raising them, but
a loss to the growers if the three
essential things I have pointed out
are not followed. '

Juice or loganberry syrup.
(Inquiry of Senator McNary.)
With rujard to the details on
establishing connections in Eng
land. It is believed that Mr. Mc-t
Nary's correspondent should be J
advised to get in touch with our
Pacific Northwest office at 515
Lowman building, Seattle, Wash
ington. Under date of September 10,
1923. on page 666 of "Commerce
Reports" the specialty division
gave some information regarding
the development of the soft drink
trade in England with particular
reference to soda fountain. This
would be of int3rest, since one of
the principal uses for loganberry
syrup I s in the soda fountain
trade.
The latest production figures
available are for the year 1919,
which show, in California, 665,
C00 qts., in Oregon 10,198,000 qts.
ot loganberries were produced. It

in the bureau of plant industry
that production has not increased
to any large exten since that time.
The exact figures for Canadian
production are not available but
judging from the number of lo
ganberry plants sold in 1920-21
approximately 100 acres were
planted. British Colunfbia is the
only province where loganberry
culture appears possible and even
there it is a very risky crop on
account of the low winter temper
atures. It is reported that owing
to low prices and unsatisfactory
weather conditions the domestic
crop of loganberries in the north
west was not successful, and that
a considerable number of acres
were not harvested. In 1922 the
United Kingdom imported from
the United States 77,937 gallons
of fruit juice, and from Canada
403,300 gallons. It is believed
that the bulk of thes3 importa
tions consist of apple cider al
though any loganberry juice im
ported would be included In them.
It is more than possible that at
least a part of any loganberry
Juice exported from Canada to
the United Kingdom has come
from Washington and Oregon,
since by shipping to Canada, low
er freight rates to points in the
United Kingdom would be ob
tained. It ha3 been impossible to learn
definitely of any unusual exports
of loganberry jufce from Canada
to the United Kingdom, but in
view of the article in Commerce
Reports above referred to, it is
questioned whether such ship
ments have taken place. It is be
lieved that there may have been
some over planting of loganber
ries in this country, since the fruit
13 not generally known and it3
uses- are somewhat more limited
than those of blackberries or rasp
berries. ' '
For No. ,2 cans vtandarJ
grade loganberries, the California
Packing Corporation's opening
prices for 1922 were $i.25 per
aozen ana ror iZ3 ?z.4& per
dozen. Th3 following quotation
is from "The Canner" of Septem
ber 15, 1923:
"The loganberry pack has not
been satisfactory. The crop waE
badly off in the first place, and
again, weather conditions have
produced, in a great many in
stances, very large soft berries.
which have not held up and were,
therefore, not satisfactory for
canning. The pack will be very
considerably less than that of
1922. and it is understood that it
Is practically all sold. In fact
a great many canners are alredy
short on their orders. It is not
possible to take care of the extra
fruit by barreling, as there is very
Httle market for barreled logan
berries. Therefore, it is a bad
year for the loganberry grower,
for in addition to a short crop, he
has had a poor quality crop to
contend with, and loganberries
sold at such ridiculous (low prices
during the spring that there is no
possibility of the canner making
any money on this pack. A care
ful check of the canned logan
berry stocks on hand tend to
show that there will be a decided
shortage, particularly in the No
10 water. If the above figures
are insufficient we will endeavor
to obtain further information, bn
it will take Home time to do so.

PRODUCE POTATOES OF; QUALITY
Our growers can produce potatoes of
quality
They can beat the world-
But they must use the right soil
And select their seed
And raise the right varieties
And store and grade and stabilize.
The rules are carefully laid down by the
Oregon Agricultural College expert, in
this issue. .
There really should be an organization
to market the best potatoes we can grow -
And we can grow and market the best
on earth.

A Short Summing Up of
What Was Concluded in
Corvallis Meeting
The following has been fur
nished to The Statesman by a cor
respondent at Corvallis:)
Legislative and state aid re
quests from the agricultural eco
nomic conference held at the Ore
gon Agricultural college recently
reveal no new panaceas. Seven
requests will be made to the Ore
gon legislature, and three meas
ures represent conference action
on federal questions.
For Wheat Growers' Kelief
Oregon wheat growing districts
represented in the conference in
dorsed the wheat export corpora
tion plan embodied in the Mc-Nary-Haugen
bill now before con
gress. The report from this sec
tion of the conference urges' the
wheat interests to uuitc on this
measure of relief. V- i
The wheat corporation would'
enter the market to buy the sur
plus wheat so as to make possible
a fair price on the rest of the pr&
duction in the United States.
Then it would sell the surplus in
the world markets at a profit If
possible. Higher tariffs against
foreign wheat are necessary- in

"I suggested to the superinten

In viev of the usual D:esel en

every week to fro cv;-r the parts

conjunction with the corporation
plan, according to the conference
report.
For State Legislation
Weed control is urged. A state
w'de committee of seven was ap
pointed to consider weed legisla
tion and bring it before the next
legislature-.
Potato growers recommend
"that the Jaw covering potato
grading and labeling" be furthe
strengthened, and made workable
Enforcement should be simplified
and additional standards now
needed made available, and to this
end the old committee of five was
increased by two growers so as t
include all the principal potat
growing districts. The commit
tee was instructed to work over
the potato grading and inspec
tion law.
Higher standards and a more
workable state seed law were rec
om mended by the seed growers
They condemned the Unite
States department of agriculture's
action in discrediting Oregon
grown clover seed.

What Ponltrymon Want
Poultrymen, after forming tneir
new Oregon Poultrymen's associ-
tion, passed a resolution asking
the state to employ a veterinari-
n to investigate And study poul
try diseases, and asked for one
more man to assist in the poultry
work of the college extension ser
vice. About the Market
The marketing section of the
conference asked the private and
cooperative interests in Oregon to
make the best possible, use of the
tariff to protect their products,
and cited the success of the Cali-
ornia citrus growers with this
measure of protection. The unit-
ng of the same interests for ef
fective standardization laws was
recommended.
Lower freight rates were be-
ieved necessary for; "some Ore
gon products," and organization
of the same interests, private and
cooperative, was advised, to make
an impartial investigation.
The horticultural' section said
in its report: "We do not need
egislation." They planned to
meet their troubles by cooperative
advertising and sales methods.

in a solution of ' corrosive subli
mate, 1 ounces to ;I0 gallons of
water, to prevent disease that
might occur. When dry cut your
seed in uniform sized pieces, each
piece having one or two eyes; if
real healthy one eye is sufficient.
As you cut, ach bucketfull is
sprinkled with land plaster, which
causes the cut places to dry and
prevents bleeding or decay.
Now pour them out on a clean
dry place till planting time. Seed
should never be cut longer than
two days before planting.
I plant in rows 42 inches apart,
and the hills should not be closer
than from 18 to 20 inches. After
having finished planting let the
ground lay for about 10 days,
when it shoufd ' be harrowed to
kill all small weeds that have
started. j
As soon as the potatoes are up
enough so that the rows can be
distinguished, ; cultivate. They
should be cultivated at least 'three
times, or oftener if necessary.
The -first cultivation should be
close to the plant, gradually get
ting away with each cultivation.
Never cultivate after the plant
starts to bloom.
Many have succeeded and many
have failed in the potato business.
