FOR EGGS LIKELY
Portland, July 22 The depart
ment o agriculture has prepared
a statement showing the enirmoun
production of milk In thla country.
For 1924 It amounted to 114,000,
000,000 pounds. Nearly half of
the total milk production win ucd
for household imriioHOH, an aver
age of 53 lA gallons per capita
Crenmerv butler manufacture- re
quired 24.92 per cent of all the
milk produced and the butter con
sumption in the United States wan
a little over 17 noumlfl per capita,
a slight Increa.se over the previous
year.
Iteceipt of egsfs are showing Home
decrease, which I to be expected at
this eoason of the year, although
there has been such an accumuhi
tlon that price have not reflected
the slight change in receipts. It
Is riuite likely that higher prices
lor eggs will prevail Wltn trie next
week or two. If receipts show
further falling off.
Butter in prints advanced two
cents this morning to &0 cents for
parchment wrapped. The buying
price of butterfat was al.so ral.se it
two cents. The cube butter mar
ket was firm on tho dairy ex
change, extra advancing half a
cent to 47 cents and standard 1
cent to 46 cents. Lower grades
were unchanged.
Although egg receipts were light
the market was weak. Quality of
new arrivals Is poor and a not like
ly to improve until the weather
becomes cooler. Current receipts
and pulfeta were each 1 cent lower
at the exchange, tho former being
posted at 29 cents and the latter
at 32 cents. Extras and firsts were
unchanged.
Tomatoes continue to drop In
price and aome California stock i
being sacrificed as low as $1.50
per lug.
The apricot season Is about over
and demand has fallen off but the
dealers still have some for which
they ohIc $2.50 a lug.
Peaches aro fdlghtly lower.

All OF
BEST THRU TEST
Estimates covering the Californl.
walnut crop for tlie present yea
are incorporated in a rireular from
the Calilornia Walnut Crnwers n.s
Hocialion, reprinted in tho Call
fornia Fruit News. Tho circular
in part, follows:
Wo have just completed the
tabulation of our first crop esti
mate for this season. Some 800
growers, acting as special crop re
porters, havo f urn is hod this esti
mato. With last year's experience
In the new crop estimating system
to guide them, we feci confident
that the estimate made this year
will bo very close to actual pro
duction figures.
Acompilation of the estimate In
dicates a coming crop of 29,250
tons of merchantable unshelled
walnuts for the state, or Die larg
est tonnage ever produced. It
compares with 21,405 tons last sen-
son, an increase of 37 per cent, and
with 2s, 4 48 tons which was the
previous record crop produced in
1919. Out of this total tonnage.
the estimate of association ship
ments Is 23,990 tons or 479,800
bags, and for nil other shippers,
5200 tons. While at first thought
it may seem to some that this large
prospective crop will be more than
sufficient to meet the fall demand,
a fuller consideration of the facts
will prove any such assumption to
bo unfounded. The normal con
sumption of walnuts In tho United
Stales Is now In excess of 100,000,-
000 pounds. If the California
crop holds up to estimates, the do
mestic output will bo sufficient to
supply only 58 per cent of our total
consumption.
haul year with a shorter crop and
higher prices in prospect, the trade
actually submitted to this associa
tion orders for 24,700 tons, or
494,000 bags an amount slightly
In excess iff this season's estimate.
Krom the above it will be observed
that If present crop proects ma
terialize tho association should be
able to take care of normal trade
requirements, with no surplus and
no shortage.
This season's estimate is based
on tho assumption thitf average
growing conditions will prevail
throughout the remainder of the
season. There Is still danger of
crop curtailment from the ravage
or blight, which Is freakish. Plight.
Is a fungous disease which causes
the growing nuts to decay and drop
from tho trees. During soma sea
sons tho blight disappears by the
lirst or July and In others It only-
starts about that time, or Its at
tack may occur at several differ
ent periods during a lnglo season.
Seasonal blight damage varies from
2 or 3 per cent to as high ns 3d
per cent. Therefore, loss of crop
rrom tins source can not be fore
told. About the only other serious
damage which may occur this sea
son Is from heat. A severe and
excessive heat wave may cause a
loss of anywhere from 2 to 20
per cent of (he crop. The average
loss from blight nnd heat from
July 1 to harvest is about 8 per
cent, and ns this was the basts up
on wh ifh crop reporters figured,
tho crop may be expected to over
run or under-run first estimates to
.Inst the extent that damage from
these causes may be above or be
low normal.
Arthur W. Christie, assistant
professor of fruit products of the
college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of California, has been
much concerned recently in per
sonal work in the development of
lehydrution of walnuts and in
particular connection with the
Nfornia Walnut Growers associa
tion, and said before a walnut
growers' institute last spring:
"The year 1921 saw marked
progra.ss in the gradual adoption
of dehydration as the modern
method of drying walnuts. It In
gratifying to note that the advan
tages of dehydration In compari
son with sun-drying and t he rec
ommendations for proper dehydra
tion as set forth in n recent bulle
tin by Dr. liutchclor and tho writ
er have been even more fully prov
ed by the experiences of growers
during the 1 924 season. In addition
to the 21 dehyd raters already In
use, 23 new walnut dehyd rators
were built in 1924, an Increase of
over 100 per cent. Every one of
these 44 ilehydrators was operated
and the aggregate output was
2200 tons as compared with 1000
tons in 1923, an Increase of about
40 per cent. Over 9 per cent of
the state crop of walnuts was de
hydrated." It is evident, therefore, that wal
nut dehydration Is firmly and suc
cessfully established In California
and will continue to grow and de
velop. The following paragraphs
are taken from a summarization of
the more important observations
made by Professor Christie as as
sistant chief inspector for the Call-
.ornia Walnut Growers association
during tho 1 924 senson, in connec
tion with dehydration of walnuts:
Tests In both laboratory and
growers' dehydraters confirmed
previous recommendations that the
maximum safe temperature for
walnut dehydration is 110 degrees1
I' . Nuts dried at 120 to 130 degrees
V., while not rendered inedible, i
showed unmistakable Injury to
quality as compared with norma)
nuts. The advent of rotary drum
lehydrnters led some persons to
expect that If tho nuts were kept
in motion, a higher temperature
of dehydration could be snfely
used. No proof of this contention
was found and It therefore, recom
mended that 110 degrees K. be not
exceeded in any dehydraler, Irres
pective of method of operation.
Humidity had no effect on the
quality of the wnlnuts. From the
observations It Is recommended
that tho humidity of tho air at
HO degrees I-, In recirculating de
hydraters be not ullowcd to exceed
20 per cent.
"The time required to dehydrate
wnlnuts varies with the tempera
ture, humidity, and volume of air
passing through the walhuts, but
more particularly with tho amount
of wator which must be removed
before the walnuts are considered
cjred. Drying times varying from
12V& to 40 hours were recorded
during the past season, averaging
24 hours for nil plants tested.
"The per cent of wator In the
green nuts vnrled from 15 to 35
per cent, dopending principally on
the tlmo of the season when har
vested, averaging 25 per cent
Moisture In the cured nuts as de
livered to the packing house varied
from 6 to 10 per cent, overnging
S per cent, from which It can be
seen that walnuts si.ffer an aver
age loss of 17 per cent of their
green weight during drying. While
many lots of stn-dried nuts were
rejected at packing houses during
the season because of insufficient
drying, no dehydrated nuts were
so rejected.
"All but two of the dehvdraters
insinueu mat year were built by
commercial manufacturers. It is
evident that most Growers nrefer
to buy commercially built dehydrat
era and that, with very few ex
ceptions, such dehydraters nre su
perior in capacity and efficiency
to dehydraters constructed by grow
ers inexperienced in such matters..
taKlng all factors into considers
tlon there is little or no economv
In growers attempting to construct
ttieir own dehydraters. There ore
three main types of walnut deny
draters in use: Open bin type, re
circulating bin type, rotary drum
type. Ail of these have' given
rapiti ana economical drying with
out injury to the nuts. The bin
types are the most common and
have been so widely used that then
Is no longer any doubt ol their ef
ficiency."

LABISH CELERY
TO ROLL FRIDAY
The big Lake Lablsh celery cron
is expected to start moving out in
carload lots soon, with indications
that the first car of the present
season will roll next Friday. Krom
men on it win be a continual pro
cession of cars virtually daily un
ttl the entire crop is handled. Al
ready considerable celery has mov
ed, but all In less than carload
lots.
It Is estimated now with the in
creased acreage that over 300 cars
will leave Qulnaby over the Ore-
;on Electric and Brooks over the
Southern Pacific, tho two big ship
ping polnte for the Lnbish Mead
ows crop. Last year between 250
and 275 cars were sent out. The
celery this year is said to be of
rino quality and with the rapidly
increasing demand for the super-'
lor quality Labish celery and the
constantly growing acreage, the
heaverdam meadows north of Sa
lem are rapidly becoming an enor
mous fautor In the celery world.
Barreling Illnck berries
Blackberries are now being re
ceived at the Bnker, Kelly & Mc
Laughlin barreling plant, that con
cern taking all that they can get.
Tho concern has barreled, strow-
berrlcs, logans and blackberries
here this" year.
The United States department of
commerce, based upon Information
given by tho American consul at
Belgrado to United States Trade
Commissioner Hynes at Rome,
gives the following statement, un
der date of July 3, concerning the
i ugo-jdavian prune crop:
Climatic conditions In Yugo
slavia have been exceedingly fav
orable to setting and development
of plums, ami it is estimated by
the trade that the plum crop will
be approximately of 880,000 short
Kiiifi, compared with 316,000 tons
for Inst year, 980,000 In 1023 nnd
935,000 in 1922. Trade Commis
sioner John H. Hynes, Rome, re
ports to our department of com
merce that approximately 30 per
cent of the plum output is normal
ly dried Into prunes. On this baste
and with the continuance of fav
orable weather, the locally estimat
ed 1 !!j.r) pruno production will be
about 80,000 short tons, of which
15,000 tons will be available for
export. There Is no carryover of
1924 crop prunes.
The following statement Is nut
out by the United States depart
ment of agriculture under date of
July 3, on this samo subject:
Indications are that Yugoslavia
will have more prunes to export
this year than last, according to a
report from G. C. Haas, American
agricultural commissioner nt Vi
enna. Kuropean countries, particu
larly (.lermany, are already show
ing considerable interest in Yugo
slav prunes.
Prospects for the plum crop nre
generally favorable, although some
complaint is heard of orchards hav
ing suffered damage from cold
weather In March. The onlv future
danger lies In possible damage from
warm winds nnd hail showers. In
Bosnia and Serbia it is thouirht
that the crop may equal those of
1918 and 1923. Kfforts are being
mode to see that the quality of the
prunes is preserved by normal drv-
ing methods.
