1924 CROP 10
Portland, July 17 Potato valuow
never found their true lovel in
the Pacific northwest during the
marketing of the 1924 crop, the
Portland Telegram saya today. Fig
ures furnished by the United States
bureau of crop estimate in July.
1924, indicated 8,000,000 bushel
decrease, following a 10.000,000
decrease the previous year. But
the situation was completely over
shadowed by the tremendous crop
harvested eust of the Kooky moun
tainH with the result that the bulk
of the Washington crop was sold
for less than $25 per ton, f. o. b
Yakima and a large part of Ore
con's crop never entered its ac
customed, channels of trade. Ore-
tron s crop was slow maturing
There was practically no demand
for storage so that no price was
established for Burbanks up to the
close of the year.
The late summer crop In Malheur
county, Oregon, did not havo the
BUccpflfl of the previous year. St
much of the crop that was expect'
ed to move In August and Septem
ber held over and was t icking :
market In the early winter. De
mand for Western Oregon Bur-
banks opened with iest r.i January
at $1.60 to the growers and boom
ed to 52 by February 1. A slump
set In almost over night from
which It never recovered. Only a
nominal market existed from then
until April 15 when It was f 1.40. A
sudden realization of the depletion
of stocks on this coast then gave
a sharp recovery but in the mean
time the stocks had been lost by
. cold weather, fed to stock and ped
dled out in small lots so the sharp
advance to $2.25 found practical
ly no supplies available.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor

convention of Oregon poultry men
will be held nt the state college
July 22 to 24. Speakers, consider
ed authorities in their firld, will be
present to discuss questions of in
terest to the poultrymen. Govern

plants during the convention.
Delegates who attended the con
vention last year feel It is of great
Importance to be present. Our poul

Many poultry keepers look upon
the convention as a vacation
three days filled with Information
of great value.
In addition to the regular pro
gram of lectures and demonstra
tions, recreational features have
been planned. Among the social
features will be a "get acquainted"
hour at supper from 5 to 7:30
o'clock. Baseball, barnyard golf,

CROP OF PRUNES
New crop prunes are beginning
to move some in the market accord
ing to reports hero, prices quoted
being 11 cents for 30s and 8
cents for 40s.
The first of these 1925 crop
saies was announced a time ago. in
a report that tho Washington
Growers association had disposed
of some prunes at these prices. The
Drager Fruit company also has
sold some new crop prunes at
these prices, and there Is a renort
that sales along the same line have
been made by the North Pacific
Exchange.
Ail told, it is estimated, not
more than 10 cars of the new crop

TO HANDLE BEETS
Albany. July 17 Operations at
the Albany cannery will take on a
new face today when the first beete
will be processed and canned.
About 50 women will be employ
ed preparing tho beets for can
ning. Mr. Spencer said that he expects
the beets to run about 10 tons for
today's run and that about 40 tons
will bo canned In the fall, after the
last pull. Most of these beets come
from near Lebanon, where they
were being raised for the Oreeon
Canning company, whose contracts
the Hunt Brothers cannery purch
ased when the Lebanon plant was
closed by the Oregon company.
it is planned to run about 160
tons of strlngless beans as soon as
tho Eugene growers of beans start
shipping. The beans and what few
evergreen blackberries can be ob
tained will keep the plant open and
In operation until about September
15, according to the manager.
The beets that are to be process
ed today represent the spring null
The fall pull will be much heavier
This Is the first time the local plant

! That the courts of tho state en
force the drunken driver act of the
1925 legislature, and not substi
tue charges of "reckless driving'
for "driving while intoxicated" is
the plea of Governor Pierce in a
statement issued today. He states
that he dots not want it to be
come necessary to call upon the
attorney general to appear as a
prosecuting officer in these cases.
"I ask all courts In the state,"
says the governor, "to enforce this
act, and to refuse to accept a plea
for reckless driving when in fact
the crime is the greater one of
driving while under the Influence
of Intoxicating liquor. I do not
wish to call upon the attorney
general to appear In any of the
courts of this state as a prosecut
ing officer, but it may be neces
sary to do so should complaints
continue to come to this office that
the intent of this statuto Is being
nullified and set aside by the sub
stitution in our courts of the less
er charge of 'reckless driving.' I
call upon all enforcement officers
of the state to cooperate to the ut
most In the strict enforcement of
this law."
Receipt of letters asking execu
tive clemency In two cases of vio
lation of the law, and several com
plaints that the courts are substi
tuting the lesser charge caused the
governor to make the statement.
The penalty under the drunken
driver act Is fine. Imprisonment
and revocation of driver's license.
'As a result of pleading guilty
to the lesser crime of 'reckless
driving'," says the statement, "a
small fine Is assessed and the de
fendants escape the more drastic
law. They are given their liberty
and may again go upon our high
ways and menace life and prop
erty."
