Ordinarily with storage holdings Of eggs consiaeraDiy larger umn a year ago, there would be a scram ble to get rid of cooler stocks while prices wore good.

PHOTO OF RESCUED FLIER HOPPING A t wi- Mr W OFF, Hero Is the "PN-9 No. 3." c FARMERS PLAN TO SOW GREATER WHEAT ACREAGE Following the recent Inquiry on intention of farmers to plant win ter wheat the Washington V. C. office has Issued the following: Tho Domestic Situation Tf present intentions are carried out and average yields are socurcd the production of both soft and hard winter wheat next year will be considerably In excess of probable domestic requirements uud will place both these classes of wheat on a world market basis. The present favorable market position of wheat producers Is largely due to the fact that our market Is now on approximately a domestic bn sls. "Reports received from many thousands of farmers throughout the winter wheat belt In August Indicated an Intended Increase of 9.7 per ocnt In tho acreage of win ter wheat to bo sown this fall com pared with tho acreage sown laHt fall, which was 6.5 per cent great er than the urea sown In the fall of 1123. "If those Intentions are carried out tho total sown ucreago this fall will be in the neighborhood of 40,400,000 acres. With average abandonment and avcruge yields this would prod u co a winter wheat crop about 40 per cent greater than was harvested in 1125. Last fall 42, 317,000 acres were sown to winter wheat but only 32,813,000 acres were left for harvest, there hav ing been an abandonment of 22.5 per cent tho highest on record with tho exception of l!Hfl when 28.9 per cent of the plnnGad acre age was abandoned. "Tho Indicated Intended sowing this fall la 38.2 per cent greater than the pre-war (1909-1913) av erage ntinunl fall sowing; It Is 8.1 per cent more than tho average an mini fall sowing for the years 1914 1018, and 3.5 por cent moro than the average annual fall sowing for the years 1919-1923. "The average annual abandon ment of winter wheat acreage for the past ten years has been 12.9 per cVnt. If the n vera go abandon ment should occur this winter. It would lonv from tho Intended sow lngs about 40,42-1,000 acres to be hnrvested next summer, compared with 32,813,000 acres harvested this year. "The yield reported for 1925 of 12.7 bu.-dids per aero in the lowost since 1904 but even with this yield a harvested acreage of 40,424,000 acres would yield 513,000,000 bu shels, or 23 per cent more wheat than w harvested this year. In 1924 n yield of 1(1.2 bushel,, was secured. If a yield equivalent t this - were secured next year on the 40,424.000 ncres It would moan a crop of fifi6.000.000 bushels. This would bo larger than any winter wheat crop ftincc 1919. If a yield per aer equal to the average of the past ton years were nccured (14.5 buhe!s) on this ncrenge. It would mean a crop of 5Sfl,000,000 bushels. "The world's production depends so much upon yields per acre that It can not be predicted upon the basis of acreage olone In the long run. however, tho trend of acre age largely determines the trend of production. In considering the post year It should not bo overlooked that tho sovnro winter killing In the United Slates and low yleldH on tho remaining acreage have boon n very Important factor In the world situation."

IN VALLEY PAYS IF Application of methods used In tho older melon growing sections of the east, has brought wonderful success here in melon growing to B. S. Prather of Yoder, according to the Aurora Observer. Its editor rocently visited tho Prather gar dons, sampled the melons, and saw how they were raised. As a result he went home all "pepped" up and had tho following to say of Mr. Prnther's accomplishments: We were privllcfrffod to visit Sun day the Prather gardens near Yo der nnd to see a sight well worth while even though one were less fortunate than we were and failed of a taste of the delicious water melons and cantaloupes which Mr. U. S. Prather raises In such quan tities on his six acres devoted to their culture. Mr. Prather has had a wide ex perience in the raising of this kind of fruit and the quantity and qual ity of tho product, notwithstanding the fact that not a drop of water has fnllen upon or been Introduced to them, since last May, testifies to the care and skill of the producer. Melons weighing from twenty five to fifty pounds ore plentiful. Thero are "Klerkley Sweets," "Toin Watsons," and "Early Kord Hooks" that would make your mouth wat er. There are cantaloupes such at rarely Rreet the city dweller, "Hon ey Palls" as sweet ns they make them, "Hearts of Hold" with their rich yellow lining and tho "Spicy" which Is all that the name Implies. All thero are produced by the careful use of the cultivator to gether with n loose soil nnd a cli mate admirably adapted to their culture. All these are produced by the labor of one man, with a one horse cultivator, Mr. prather Is an easterner and came out here with a background of general farm knowledge, n spe cial adaptability to this kind of gardening and a great faith In the country In which he settled, and the Issue proves his vision and Judg ment. The marketing conditions In this section 'nro favorable. Within a Ht one's thrown of the rail ron d at Yoder tho producer can readily ship his product, but up to this time there hss been no need since automobile after automobile may be found at this setison, lined up at tho gardens awaiting Its turn for a load of this succulent fruit. Those who have travelled up and down the Willamette valley and noted the crops as they went have seen how productive Is the soli of this favored region, when proper ly handled, but wo feel eafo In say Ing that (he valley has no more favored spot for tho rolslng of melons than that where U.

At tho opening of the season prices stal led out around those of 1924 of 3 cents a pound for com mon vetch and 2 J4 to 3 for Hun garian. An unusual demand soon dovoloped and common vetch went to 4 cents and the latest quotation is 6 cents. Hungarian followed with at least one carload moved to California buyers-at 44 cents. New developments have taken place with the Hungarian. In the counties north of Benton where so much winter Injury was suffered last year the Hungarian was able to 'come through with a better stand than common vetch. In fact It was reported that around Mc Mlnnvlllo the Hungarian was the only vetch that came through the winter, according to County Agent Hrlggs. Hungarian came through the winter In a number of places in Benton county where the com mon at tho side of It was frozen out. This winter resistence,' to gether with nn increased apprecia tion of the value of the crop ns feed has caused a good many more farmers to try it out. Small amounts of Hungnrinn were sold to orchard fsts In Cali fornia last year. Though these parties wanted to get common vetch, they thought enough of Hie showing mode by Hungarian to ordor two cntioada through the l'arm Bureau. An entirely new use" has been found for the seed by seed grind ers In California. A few carload of Hungarian have been ground with the idea of substituting It for such protein concentrates as soy bean meal in dairy and chicken feeds. It Is reported that four or flvo carloads were used for this purposo this year. It Is likely, however, that more experience will be needed before any large market for the eeed for this purpose will be opened. CLARKE GROWERS PAID 5 CENT PRUNE ADVANCE Vancouver. Wash..
