IN PRICE-CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 0. (U. P.)T
"Do not sell your oods until you get
your price," was the warning members
of the house and senate' sent to farm
ers all over the country air a result of
the senate approval of the administra
tion's farm credits bill, counted to
boost prices of all farm products.
"Hold cotton for 20 cents,'' was the
word sent, to the cotton states. West
ern senators told their constituents to
ask higher prices and hold their sur
pluses until the buyers meet the price
asked. The senators predicted this
move would cause a much higher gen
eral ton j to the agricultural market.

Applet To ne Jligl!
That tho good varieties of apples
will command a high figure this sea
ton la the belief of fruit men. The
Lamb Fruit Co. has already received
on offer of -S 2.75 a, box for five car
loads of Delicious apples, but they re
fused, bellevlna that when thp real
market Is established some time early
ln October, this famous variety of ap
ples will bring a better price. Early
apples brought from $1.75 to $2 a box,
depending on the variety.
Another itcrmthat is ln favor of the
fruit maj this year Is the lower costs
that' he hag to .pay. His packing
charges are lower, than they have been
for some tim, and labor sts are j
down some, all, of which help him to
get back on hln feet.
The prune crop will be Teady for
harvesting beginning the4atter part ot
next week or soon after, and it will
be heavy. TJie prices thai will be paid
the grower will range from $15 to $00
a ton, net to the grower, according to
Present Indications.; A great many
ftons have alreadyybeen contracted nt
good figures.
' ' Quality of Prunes Oood
. Jlilton-Preewater has an advantage
over many producing sections, too,
that means a lot to the industry. Lo
cal prunes "will . ship without beina
dried, and that very fact is a boon th tt
enables fruit that is produced here to
be shipped to Liverpool and Paris and
CoDenhagen lust as it comes from the
tree. The fact that It Is ripe earlier
than In many other districts is another
advantage that assures a good market
when the dried fruit goes begging for
buyers later In the year.
There ar four big fruit concerns
here, and they are all centers of great
activity now, the Lamb Fruit Co.; the
Milton Fruit C.rowers' Cooperative
Union; the Shields Fruit Co.; and H. S.
Dcnnisoft and Co; The Growers' Stor
age and Supply Co., a locally controll
ed concern, has .under construction
now a big storage 'warehouse which
will be completed and ready for ope
ration by September 15. The struc
ture Is of tile construction nhd will be
equipped with1 modern conveyors anc
fixtures which will make It one of the
most up-to'date plants of Its kind in
the West. The cost of the hmldinii
will be $75,000, and'lt will be used for
cold storage, packing. Loading of
fruit can he effected from the plat
form, a spur switch running to the
doors, t '
j ' Banks Are Strong
There are three banks proper here
In the two towns, but they occupy foui
buildings. The First National Bank
of Milton has a branch In Freewater
which is known as the First National
Bank of Freewater. The resources Of
this institution a.$f.l26,39T.7S. ac
cording to the statement issued June

J. E. Davis, vice-president; Oenrge A
Price, cashiv: -E. J. Davis, T- C. Fra-
zler and Powell Plant, assistant cash-J

The Bank of FreewntRT is the
youngest institution in the two towns,
its age being less than one year: It hat
a capital stock of $60,000 and re
sources of $192,684.74. The officers
are J. R Saylor. president: JT- S.. Mur

The other bank is the Farmers' Se

and C. R. Samuel Jr., assistant cashier.
Farmers Will Liquklate.
That farmers in this district will hr
able to liquidate their debts to a large
extent witu.the proceeds of this year'r
crop was 'slitement concurred in by
officers of all the-banks. This liqui
dation will not be complete, but bank
el's expressed the belief that more
than fO per pent of the indebtedness
of their farmer customers can be
paid?" ' ' . ' -
At the Bak c Freewater this esti
mate was .exceeded, an officer of tht
institution stating that 75 per cent of
the borrowers of' the. bank would li
qCdatc, 'and that the other 25 per cen"
voulh como very close to a compiet
payment.1 This bank occupies an en
viable position, (however, due to the
fact that it was not in business wher
tlio heavy plunging characteristics of
post-war times was practiced. Its pa
trons arc mainly fruit ien, too, and
"iat business is the k:nd that -bringf
