VALLEY WHEAT Valley wheat has been protty well cleaned up, according to re ports, only a few odd lots being left hero and there and it Is ex pected this will move out during he coining month. The valley wheat Is. used largely for blending nnd In the main goes to Portland, although considerable quantities aro used In valley mills. The big bulk of the wheat Is still oft In Eastern Oregon nnd In the I'alouso country In Washington. but It Is expected the big movement n this will start during this month. It Is extlmntcil only from 25 to 3t per cent of this wheat has so far moved out. IN 1 926 IS SEEN Prune men are confident that next year will bo their big year In this section. They look for a bum, per crop here nnd a small crop in California. Oregon has had a small crop the past two years while California has had plenty and prune men declare tho gods will bo with them next year and tho situation reversed. These pre- uk-uuiir nu rest witn the weather man and ernnrul onmlitlnna rnr the next 10 months, but up-to-date, if history repeats, tho gamo lies so nir wnn mo locni men.

AHDERSON ft RUPERT. 406 Ortron Bld. APPLES EXCEED MARK FOR 1924 The shipments of apples from the State of Washington during October were exceptionally heavy and put the forwardlqgs to Novem ber 1 this year quite materially above last, with a little over 50 per cent of the crop having been mov ed as compared with less than 60 per cent a year ago to the same time, says the California Fruit News. The lighter eastern crop has tended to stimulate the car load movement from the heavy district this year and. In addition. the season, has been a little earler. The apple movement from Oregon has also been comparatively heavy but less than hist season, due to the light crop and a slight shortage of cars. The Hood Illver, Oregon, apple crop Is estimated to have been 75 per cent moved by Novem ber 1. Weather conditions during September and October In the Pa cific Northwest were favorable for harvesting tho apple crop nnd practically nil fruit, except In Ida ho, was under cover by November 1. Market supplies of California ap ples have been rather limited un der the relatively light crop In thi.s state this year and a larger per ceutage of shipments than usual has gone to communities within the State. Shipments of apples In tho northern district of California, which centers around Sehastopo, in Sonoma County, were only about 38 per cent as heavy as those to the end of October In 1024, and the movement In the central district of this State about 62 per cent of last season to a corresponding date. The Watsonvllle district of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, which is the leading, point In the central section of California for apples, shows a total of commercial pro duction of apples this year of an proximately a million nnd a half boxes as against two million and a half boxes in 192-1, according to the Department of Agriculture, while several factors are blamed, codling moth Is credited as the larg est factor toward the shortage, the stormy and rainy weather during tho blossoming period for apples making tho spraying here this past season less successful than usual.

Agutu . the movie cuinertif. ground out their historic pictorial records and again the representa tives of Lite signatory nations spoke in turn this time to declare that their governments would for ever fulfill tho obligations to which they had just subscribed, The British premier who was the only one to employ the English language was visibly moved when he announced that his government welcomed une treaty of Locarno. Great Britain he added was cer tain that the treaty would not dis appoint the hopes of the world in laying the foundation for that peace which had so long been sought. His sentiment was that of the other speakers. Dr. Strese mann delivered his remarks with vigor and conviction. The only delegate to raise his voice above conversational tone he repeatedly struck the table as he made his declarations. amid Measures of Value Modern commercial transactions would be impossible without stan dards of measurement and value. We now take the convenience for granted, often without realizing that it took the world many cen turies to agree on the exact length of a yard stick, the exact weight jf a pound and just how much liquid the quart or liter measure should contain. Advertising is a comparatively new phase in marketing goods. It has its standards of value too, But these are not so thoroughly understood. But circulation is one of the in disputable "measure sticks" by which you can judge the value of an advertising medium. The Audit Bureau of Circulations issues reports of our circulation at intervals. These reports are a recognized standard of value in advertising. The facts atfout The Capital Journal's circulation officially audited are yours for the asking. Buy Capital Journal circulation FIRST when you advertise. CapitalJburnal arc!
