"Proof of the fact that hardships sometimes work benefit is to be found In any part of Oregon just now," said a local produce dealer, who has been In the country the bettor part of the past two weeks. ' "It has often boon remarked that In growth and development Portland was . away ahead of the rest of the state; that while the city has risen to .important; rank the country has remained ' undeveloped,- scratched In patches, so to speak; Its ngrlcul- l tV.nU soiir-nag 6,v,m uut- s(:nnt ntton- null. "High wage rates In other lines of Industry and an aversion to farm work, on the part of labor have been almost wholly responsible for the fact that for years past It haB beenj difficult and In many cases impos sible for the farmers of the state to properly plant, cultivate and harvest their crops. The gralngrowers and owners of hay ranches in the east ern part of the state can testify to this, and the situation has been ex actly the same with the fruit and farm interests generally in the val ley., Now things are. different. . "In all parts of the state there Is what might he-termed an awakening Ulflaa The streets have just been nicely graded and the- sale of lots is brisk. Many people are buying the very choicest residence lots at lower prices than will ever again be offered in Eugene. People are waking up to the unusual advantages of BLAIR STREET ADDITION. ' Do you realize what au investment in 'this addition will do for you? How can it avoid ad vancing in value with these lots lying right against the built up district, and where the city is certain to get its greatest growth? Let one of the ageuts named below take you out there,. You don't need to buy if you don't want to, but we think you will want to after you see these fine lots and "know-about the easy terms you make your. 'own terms' -you may have. Better not wait; the other fellow is getting busy and it's time you acted, before all are sold. . There arc only twenty 'lots and two acre tracts lf.et. m iiwii'i ". i.i' . hii.h.hiii,hhhiww ilk. i mmm"uii"i miij.wh.. of interest in the soil, and this de velopment can be traced directly to the late financial crash that was res ponsible for so much actual and Imagined hardship a few months back.. Wages have been cut to some extent and oppirtunlties for work in mills ancPcamps have been largely curtailed. While wage reduction would always eeem to be regretable, the fact is that a result of the late money squeeze thousands of men wh heretofore shunned farm work have turned to the farmB, and with the change that has come it might be said that a new era in Oregon de velopment has set in. "Farm labor, which has been scarce for years, is now fairly plenti ful. Farmers say they can now get the help they need for $30 a month and board, and they are taking ad vantage of the situation that has come about. "Barring unfavorable weather con ditions, which are not to be expect ed, there will be larger farm crops generally in this state this year than ever before. And this Is not all. In all sections of the western half of the state fields have been extended by the clearing away of underbrush and timber, so the crop-producing area is being enlarged. The acreage of practically all farm crops will be larger than ever before this year, and the promise is for bigger pro duction. "This will not necessarily mean overproduction, except In a few cases like hops. It simply means that Oregon is destined In a few years to produce the bulk, Instead of a fraction of the crops the people of the state need. "A fact to be kept in mind in this connection is that the stockraising industry is coming to be recognized as an Important one in this state. From this time on, more hogs, cattle, and sheep will he grown and fatten ed for the Portland market than ever before, but it will be years be fore Oregon will be able to raise lire stock sufficient for the demands of this market. With agriculture tak ing on new life und the stockraising industry coming to the front there Is prospect for development' In Ore gon," Poultry Market Is Qulef. While thSre Is no real pressure In the poultry market at this time, stocks are hot cleaning up quite as rendily along the street as could be wished. There Is art Increasing sup ply of brolie'Oit htul fYytirs, but to date all supplied lliive been absorbed at the quotations printed in these col umns. ' Dressed meats were in light bup ply during the 24 hours, but the mar ket was not overstrong and prices showed up no change for the day. California Red Onions Arrive. . The expected shipment of new Cal ifornia onions arrived on the steam er State of California and was un loaded this morning. Supplies were 21 treet not in extra good shape, but found a fair demand at $3.50 3. 7o per 100 pounds Bermflda onions are still In liberal demand, with former prices maintained. The California steamer brought in quite liberal supplies of carrots, beets and other sacked vegetables, supplies of which have been quite short in this market of late. Because of the quite liberal offer ings, prices are down in the cherry market. Both white and black stock now shown. Shipments of new California po tatoes in this direction are Increas ing, with lower prices ruling for to day. Shipments of old Orgons to the south likewise increasing with prices maintained.

Small whites and large ones are now quoted stiff at $4.75. Spot stockB very light, with further increase in eastern demnad. ' While the receipts of eggs at this time are not heavy, they are fully able to supply the demand at 18 j IS Vic, and anyone can today pur chase supplies along Front Street at these figures. During the past 24 hours large supplies of eggs ' havi been. offered the boosting dealers at 18c a dozen,' but they would riot ac cept them. Portland .Iii'vestoeU Market, ChUtd&htl hogs continue in strong demand and reports to commission men fro. mall parts of the Btate are that available supplies are short of requirements. The sheep market shows a disposition to yield. The demand is still fair, but hardly suf-: flclent to take up the current, re-i celpts which for soma weeks back have been heavy.
