PAGE ETGHT BUTTER PRICES SOME HIGHER; EGGS FIRMER Portland, Ore., Feb. 21. (P) But ter prices took slight Increases at the meeting of the dairy exchange, prime firsts advancing a cent and all other grades rising half a cent. Eggs were also somewhat firmer, but the only change was a cent ad vance in the quotation on standard firsts Supplies of both butter and eggs were large, but. demand con tinued heavy and offerings were well absorbed. Announcement by F. J. Dixon, manager of the co-operative egg as sociation, that they would hereafter sell eggs to retailers at one cent above exchange quotations brought matters to a head which have been brewing for some time. It is said that Independents have been pay ing no attention to dairy exchange prices of late and that members of the exchange have been at a disad vantage as a result. The action of the association is expected to result in numerous resignations from the exchange today which may mean that the exchange will practically be dissolved, at least as far as a price fixing body. On the country dressed meat mar kets, trading was of a desultory character today with prices quotably steady but movement of most classes nominal. The same condition pre vailed in the poultry division with slightly easier trading tone notice able. rOKTLAND LIVESTOCK Portlnnd, Ore, Feb. 31. (AO Cattle, re ceipts, none; calves, none, steady.

No new soft strawberries are being planted that he knows of. While constant experiments are being made and constant efforts put forth to discover some sort of a variety of strawberry which will hold up with the Ettersburg In the can, so far none of these has met with ap proval and it Is still the "121" va riety that stands ace high with the canners. The county inspector reports that the strawberry weevil is cettine fairly well under control. He states that in the North Howell section they are using poison bait effective ly during the blooming season and coupling this with rotation has worked some fine results toward solving the weevil problem. The crown borer, however con tinues to do heavy damage, and while not as bad as some years ago is still bad enough to work a heavy narasnip on many growers. The only method of combatting the ground borer seems tC be rotation and not to plant too continuously In one section. He cited the Chemawa section which used to be one of the best in this region but the borer grad ually got so bad there that it be came necessary to virtually quit the strawberry game. He states that uo to now no bait has been found which can be used effectively against the crown borer. He states that as the moth which is parent of the borer lays its eggs on the plant, there Is no way to poi son the young grub as he gets into the plant, and the one way to take care of the borer when started is to destroy the plant, and this nroves effective only when next plantings are maae on new sou. PRUNE MARKET IS TO BE CLEANED OUT The prune market continues firm here and It appears undoubted that it will clean up well and very much better than was expected lost fall, saya the California Fruit News. The recent advances In prices have been maintained and 30s are a trifle firmer this week than last, other sizes being quoted at this writing me same as last weet mere are few. If any other changes In the dried fruit list this week as com pared with last, the recent price advances being well maintained. Peaches and apricots are firm at present lists. Pears are pretty well nunc ana ngs are steady lor what there are. EvaDorated annles nri, if anything, a little firmer this week and are pretty generally quoting upon the basis of last week's maxi mum figures. 1 H Ulf. I HURT j ' HURT ' I HURT g HURT j HURT.
