BROCCOLI SET OUT Tlosehurg, Aug. 3 Broccoli growers in tho Uinp'Iiia valley, un daunted by the heavy Iohhc experi enced during the extromo cold weather of tho past winter, aro planting heavier than over before and It Is roughly estimated that there will be approximately 6000 teres of broccoli set out thin sum mer and fnll. If a full crop Is liar Tented, this will moan nearly 2000 a r loads. Riddle district reports 1200 acres and Myrtle creek and Kiddle will Kid another 1 000 to 1200 acre. Riddle, Winston and 1 touch urg dl - trie Is are expected to easily bring the total up to 6000 acres. The yield nu acre la in tho neigh borhood of 200 crates, while the average prico Is $1.25 per crate. The cost of growing an acre of broccoli Is about $50, bo that a lear profit of $200 per acre Is pos sible under favorable conditions. Thin on the entire crop would net fl, 000, 000 In round figure). The one great feature of the record plantings of this year its that the Increased acreage proves that the broccoli Industry Is now1 out of the experimental stage and the crop is recognized aa being a permanent factor. Kxtenslvo experiment with var ious st ra Ins and d If ferent brands Of fertilizers are being made. It was discovered during tho last win ter that tracts fertilized with acid phosphate were not damaged by cold weather. This discovery was made accidentally and will bo tout ed In a thorough manner during tho coming winter. If tho fertiliz er Instills a cold resistant quality, ft will be of great value to grow- Salem Markets Compiled from report ol Ka tent dealers for lite guldnm- or Oupltal Journal reader.

Some of tho reports from farmers aro to the effect that yields are not equalling those of liut year. Wheat In general last year averaged around forty buohels to the aero six) some varieties went a high ns fifty or over. This yeai average yields are from twenty ti thirty nnd the better about thirty five. Oats show the same decrease also; 60 to 60 buhels to the n this year against 70 to 90 of last year. 1 he grain appeared very promising this spring but a late coU spell while the grain was still growing and a few days of extreme hent in the enrlv summer as the heads were filling out canned the yields to be considerably less than was at first expected. Stalks are as tall or taller than usual so there te no lark of straw. 5 CENTS; CORN IS UNSETTLED Chicago, Aug. 3 The wheat op ening, which ranged from y to 2 cents higher, September $1.544 to $1.64 V an, December $1.64 to $1.6514 wa followed by a further advance that carried September to $1.66Vi and December to $1.55H. After opening at to 1 high er, September $1.04 to $1.08. the corn market continued up grade, September touching $1.05 Oats started at a shade to gain, September 41 to 41. Ad ditional upturns enmied. Provisions were firmer. Subsequently there were addi tional sharp gains in wheat, amounting to cents a bushel on some transactions as compared with yesterday' finish. The close was unsettled, 3 cents to 4 cent net higher, September $1.57 to $1.58 and December $1.57 to $1.67. Houses with country connections were fairly good buyers of corn but the effoc. was more or le.s counterbalanced by private crop reports showing an average corn crop about 20,000.000 bushels more than was expected a month ago. The close was unsettled, cents to 1 cents net higher, September $1.05U to $1.06. Blue Mountain Kruit Kxchange. La (Irandc; Incorporators. Jacob I. Wewtenskow, F. M. Martin. Clay N.

At a meeting last Bprlng of wal nut growers, members of the Cali fornia Walnut Growers association, those present voted unanimously In favor of a resolution requesting tho directors of the association to put branding machines in univer sal use in all plants for the 1926 Hea-son, says th& California Fruit News. The season, however, was too close tit hand to make it feasible to arrange fu the construction and installation of a sufficient number of branding machines to brand in dividually r 11 of tho walnuts of the association of this season's crop. The branding machine that the Walnut association ha been de veloping however, I proving aat- ractory ona tni method 01 put ting the "Diamond" brand on all walnuts of the association will prove profitable, In the opinion of Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the association. The mechani cal difficulties are being overcome and It is necessary In the national idvertiiiing of "Diamond brand walnuts of the 'California associa tion that walnut be put upon such basis that the consumer can know that the walnuts purchased are those of this particular brand and association and not Imported or other walnut which may be offered under brand names that may be coniuslng. T OE DRIED FRUIT Crop conditions in nearly all lines in California Indicate just fair productions of dried fruits this sea son, aside from raisins, which will be a big yield, although evidence recently indicate that thl produc tion may not bo quite 00 large as it was earlier thought, says the Cali fornia Fruit New. Tho Prune association Is dolntr exceedingly well In Its carton busi ness development and this 1 prov ing to be a big success. The move ment of carton prune 1 extremely active and an even larger propor tion ox tnis years production will be packed In carton prunes bv the association. The latter, in addition to its previous cartons, has Just an nounced plan to develop a one pound carton of large prune some 30s and some 40. the pro portion not yet determined upon. inis pacKoge win retail at 25o or a little under and 1 expected to be a big selling addition to the carton line.
