FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1929
PORTLAND EGG
RECEIPTS HEAVY
Portland Eggs continued strong
on the Friday market. The advance
of Thursday brought prices iere,on
a parity with other markets of the
coast. Egg receipts continue at a
high level, but the demand from
California gives this market a brisk
tone. According to reports, much
of the eggs now going into storage
will be shipped east within a com
paratively short time.
The butter market is not in as
good a position technically as the
egg market. Receipts of butter are
heavy for this time of the year and
demand for storage purposes will
not last much longer. The brightest
spot in the outlook Is that Willam
ette valley production is due for a
slump. Although no more declines
are anticipated by the trade in the
near future, It is admitted that the
recovery later this year probably will
come about slower than normally.
Red currant quotations advanced
25 cents a crate here Friday. The
crop Is beginning to go off the mar
ket as most of the growers are
cleaning up for the season. The
price to the trade la $2.25.
There was a good market for yel
low transparent apples Friday at
$2 per 36 pound lug. Although this
does not represent an actual ad
vantage, the condition of the mar
ket Indicates higher prices.
Tomatoes from The Dalles ad
vanced 25 cents a box to $2.50 Fri
day. There has been an Increasing
demand for both this and California
stuff. The tomatoes from the south
are firm at $3.25 for repacked offer
- Ings.
Increasing supplies of field cu
cumbers from The Dalles succeeded
in lowering the market to a dollar
per box. The hothouses offerings
re heavy also.
Corn, shipped In from The Dalles,
weakened a dime a dozen on the
ftiarket Friday. Offerings were made
at 50 cents a dozen or $3.50 a crate.
The first gravenstein apples of
the season were received by Pacific
Fruit and Produce company. They
are priced to go to the trade at $3.

OF STATE MAKE
SMALL PROFITS
Corvallls, Ore., An "expert,
ence meeting" was held here Thurs
day before the business session of
the seventh annual convention of
Oregon poultrymen. The feature of
having the late farm experiences re.
lated marked Thursday's program
and followed the more technical
discussions by specialists In man
agement, disease control, breeding,
feeding and finance.
That the Oregon Poultry Industry
as a whole. Is In a prosperous con
dition was revealed to the delegates
by U. B. Scudder, chief as manage
ment who made public for the first
time results of a three year cost
production survey of Oregon,
The survey took in 229 farm rec
ords and 441 yearly records, and
data on 271,337 bens with a total
production of close to 4,000,000 doz
en eggs for three years.
Because of high cost of produc
tion the survey showed that about
half of the commercial egg men are
not making a profit above labor and
Interest costs. .
The average net total cost for
producing a dozen eggs on the 229
farms listed In the survey which In
cluded family labor and Interest on
Investment, was 28.1 cents per dozen
while the average price received was
28.7 cents per dozen. The cash cost
was 18.2 cents a dozen.
CHINA INVASION
NOT PART OF PLAN
(Continued from page 1)
China was hailed by observers here
Friday as a victory for the Kellogg
peace pact.
American officials have contend
ed since the Russo-Chinese trouble
began, neither country would com
nv;t an overt act of violence which
would precipitate a war. partly be
cause of their adherence to the
treaty In which they renounced war
as a means of deciding disputed
questions.
Former Sectretary of State Kel
logg, sponsor ot the treaty, said
publicly in St. Paul that the pact
was morally binding even before it
formally went into effect. Friday's
pronouncement of military leaders
in Moscow affirming this opinion
on behalf of Russia was taken here
as an Influential corroboration of
Kellogg's view.

health because it enables us to enjoy a greater variety of
foods more.
"Sugar is wholesome," he said, "and it is inexpensive.
Everyone can benefit from this flavor which adds so
much pleasure to many of the foods we eat."
The advice of this famous man can be carried out in
planning almost all daily dishes. Fresh or cooked fruits
are full of minerals, vitamins and other health elements.
They are made more delightful to our taste by the addi
tion of sugar.
The flavors of nearly all vegetables are very much im
proved by adding a pinch of sugar in cooking. Sugar in
connection with chocolate or cocoa makes milk a de
licious beverage. Most foods are more delicious and
nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

CHERRY TREE 70
YEARS OLD NETS
OWNER S1 15.70
A cherry tree, known to be oyer
70 years old, In (act a lull grown
tree in the knowledge of people who
can remember 70 years back, this
year produced 1157 pounds of Royal
Anne cherries which were sold for
$115.70 by the owner of the tree, F.
S. Lamport The tree Is located on
the Lamport ranch by the highway
about a quarter of a mile this side
of Macleay.
The tree was a seedling which was
grafted some years ago and the
tree top worked. Enough of the seed
ling limbs remain so that It has a
good seedling pollnatlon and R. E.
Shinn, who has been caring for It,
states that this Is a splendid .exam
ple of what results may be had with
seedling pollination In a year when
poor pollinlzing has cut down the
cherry crop very materially.
"This tree is 10 feet around the
butt," stated Shinn, "and the body
is absolutely sound, showing no
signs ot any disease whatsoever, de
spite its great age.
"It is a fine example of what the
seedling pollinlzing will do and the
tree is well worth any cherry grow
ers time to look at."
