Portland, Aug. 31 Although hop
picking is well started in thin state ,
and a large part of the crop bol-
d and stored, there la little or no
Dusinesa paflBirtff at tne moment.
There is more or less a deadlock
In the market with buyers unwill
ing to go over 18 cents for clusters j
and 19 cents for fugglea, while
growers are holding out for
least 20 cents.
Nineteen cents has been paid In
come instances for exceptional lots
but the market Is largely nominal
with only a very few sales of new
crop transacted so iar.
Practically all of the old crop
hflfl been disponed of and there is
little or no curry ovor into the new
eeaaon. An occasional bale may be
found hero nnd there but old i
stocki are well scattered.
Growers report the harvest of
the new crop turning out as good
as expected nnd while the yield Is i
only fair the quality Is good. With
the English hop situation none too
encouraging, and the light carry
over in this country, producers are
optimistic and look for higher
prices to rule later.

Are Your School
Kiddies Physically Fit
By Allan Craig, M. D..
Member Gorgas Memorial Institute
Our leading citizens. 25,000.000
of them, are returning to school
this week.
Unless each ono Is physically
fit, ho Ib going to bo handicapped
in hla advancement In learning
during the coming'nlue months.
Do you actually know if your
children are in good shape for this
year's work? Do you know wheth
er they have any decayed teeth,
infected tonsils, adenoids or are
under weight? Children with any
of these things aro seriously
handicapped. This Is no theoretic
observation but a proven fact,
well known to the Corgas Memor
ial Institute.
Only periodic health examina
tions will disclose what Is wrong
with the body machine; and these
health audits nre a profitable In
vent mon t for any ho tne. Disease
will be fore-stalled nnd the child
will make greater progress bo I
onuse therfe Is nothing wrong with
Ills body to hotd him hack. Make
mro right now that your child Is
fit. Correct any defect when cor
rection 1b easiest.
Thero are physical examin
ations, however, which aro useless.
A careless examination is worse
than none at all herniise it creates
falso Impressions of safety. The
child should be stripped and gone
over carefully from head to foot
no careless examination through
the clothing. Make the doctor the
health adviser In tho family, Just.
as wo make our lawyer our legal
adviser.
Cvery home should have a set of
weighing scales In tho bathroom.
The weight la a valuable Indica
tion of progress In growing chil
dren. Stationary weight In a
child Is equal to a steady loss Id
an adult. If your boy or girl Is
not guining weight, there Is some
thing wrong and It is up to your
doctor to find out what it is.
Good, nourishing food at regu
lar hours, Blowly eaten and not
grabbed in unmastlcaled Jumps,
will help our boys and girls to
wards steady growth and develop
ment. A good old slogan rendu
thus:
""Invite good health and econ
omy to dine with you every day."
Eat more bread and butter and
drink jnore milk. "
This would be a good motto for
every home and especially those
where there are growing children.
One might add a word as to the
desirability of plenty of fresh
vegetables and fruit.
Periodic visits to tho dentist are
a necessity. Why Bliould we al
low tho children's second teeth to
unie In out of place and In an un
sightly manner when, by a little
caro at the right time, this can
be avoided? Kveryono is desirous
of having good teeth, evenly
placed, and our children, when
they grow up, nre going to blame
us for deficiencies which are due
to our neglect. It Is remarkable
how rapidly small cavities develop
in children's teeth, particularly If
t hey nre somewhat careless, as
most children arc. In ,111c uxe of
the tooth brush. Few of us clean
our teeth thoroughly. Wc are so
often deceived by the fact that
wo are using a pleasant paste or
a soothing mouth wash, it Ih the
scrub hlng with tho brush thit
does tho work. Then too thero Is
always n tendency to neglect cor-1
tain groups of tc'H'i such as the
upper hack molars.

there will not be o much for the
association to pack nnd It will
consequently he possible to oper
ate fewer packing nouses man
usual by concentrating the opera

will apply not only to the Pint a

"It le hardly probable that the
prunes yield in Yamhill county will
be in exceaa of 25 to 30 per cent of
a normal crop. Moat reports, how
ever, Indicate that the Hize will

rains will cauno the prunes to be
much lnrgor and Letter in quality.
This Is the opinion expressed by
the Mc.MinnvJIlo bank in Ita an
nual prune and walnut crop num
mary. Conditions in Marlon and
X'olk counties are reported to be
nearly the Annie.
On the other hnnd an unusually
good crop from 35 to 50 per cent

Amity On the hills tho rnn in

is Indication of an average of 50
to 60 per cent of a normal crop.
Bellevue Tho foot-hill orchards
Indicate a, yield of approximately
30 to 35 per cent and tho prunes
are of unusually large size.
Carlton 20 to 30 per cent of a
normal yield is tho report of sev
eral growera in this district. With
the younger orchards bearing alight
ly heaWer than others, the report
would probably justify an estimate
of one third of a normal crop.
Dayton Reports from this dis
trict indicate that the younger or
chards Will have 35 to 40 nor ronl
of a normal crop, while tho older
orcnarus snow 25 to 30 per cent.
uumiec un tne higher Inndi
crops seem to be rather light, while
on lower foot-hill land where or
cha rds received careful attention,
indications are for a yield of ap
proximately 46 per cent of nor

Lafayette The older orchards
show 15 to 20 per cent of a normal
yield, with 40 to 50 per cent of
the younger orchards on lower

McMinnvllle Orchnrdo on the
foot-hills northwest of this citv be
ing older lootings, tho crop is re
ported very light, possibly not to j
exceed 1 5 20 per cent of nor-j

run 40 to 50 per cent.
Newberg Xowberg district re

the youiXi'i plantings on lower

Hherldan In this district most
of tho orchards are on the higher
levnllon, but tho trees aro not
unite so old as those of other plant
ings throughout the county, nnd
pro-specis are reported to be for
a yield of 35 to 40 per cent of
normal.
Y;i rnh 111 On the uplands the
plnntmrs or prune troen are larger
and older, nnd are reported as
bearing very linht, possibly not
more than 15 per cent, while on

The prune crop report for Cali

California prospects for walnuts
are very favorable. The condition
as of July 1st was ?6 per cent of
normal, compared with 76 per cent
last year and a ten-year a vera pre
of H4 per cent. . Approximately
:t2,000 tons of Walnuts will bo pro
duced if the resent condition Is
maintained until hnrvest time. The
product inn for If 24 was 21 .500
tons with a total bearing acreage
of 7l..3!t7 neres. The market will
be very good on walnuts, because
there Is no carry-over.
CLARKE COUNTY PRUNE
GROWERS PAID WELL
W. H. Wood, manager of the
Washington Growers Packing cor
poration, advises- that final pay
ments for the 1024 prune crop of
its members from Clarke county,
Washington, have been mailed out.
The total volumo of prunes hand
led by that association in 1024 was
0,880,000 pounds, for which a gross
total of $533,000 was received. The
cost of packing, brokerage, cash
discount and advertising wns 1.4
cents a pound, and tho net amount
returned to these growers, Mr
Wood announces as having been
$415,000, which has now all been
completely paid to them. The
prune growers or that association
received a return rangintr from
4c a pound for 60-70s to 914c
a pound on 25-35s. with the low
est overhead the association has
ever had, Air. Wood says.

Washington, Aug. 31 (AP)
Proposed new freight schedules

Hogs have reached a value, for
the first time since the war-period,
which surpasses In purchasing pow
er the value of the aerage of all
commodities and also of corn, ac
cording to figures supplied by the
United States department of agri
culture and the department of la
bor. Those figures are based on
returns from the July marketing
and show that hog values were
nigher during that month than at
any time during the past six
years, and for the first time since
the war, tho 1910-1.914 value for
the montn was surpassed.
It Is particularly significant,
from the producer's viewpoint, that"
the price relat onshin between hues
and corn improved so marketedly
in favor of hogs, amounting to 110
per cent of the profitable pre-war,
average. j
Hog business Indexes that are
prepared monthly by Dr. Tage U.
H. Ellinger of the livestock bureau
of Armour and company follow:
liases Prewar purchasing
power (1010-1914) equal 100
Prewar receipts equal 100

Dr. Ellinger concludes that with
a combination of high prices and
low production cost, the hog busi
ness is in an excellent condition. ;
We are probably approaching, or i
have already reached, tho highest
noint in hog values In tho present
cycle. Receipt figures, further
