Josephine county farmers are optl
mimic regarding the price of buy for
the surplus which they are holding,
and 88 of them. rcnreaentlr.e- 1700
tons of hay for sale, attended a meet
ing called by County Agent Howell
at tho court house. A brief survey of
the Bltuntion was made which showed
there would probably be In the neigh'
borhood of from four to five thou
sand tons of hny for sale In this
county this year, BO to '60 per cent
of which would probably be consumed
locally, leaving a balance of from 100
to 100 cars for sale outside of the
county. This may be offset consider
ably by tie shipping or driving in of
cattle from outside points tor win
tering.
It is rumored that parties from out
of the county have already purchaaed
lined nuantlties of hay on tbe Apple
fate. Growers are of the opinion that
a minimum price snouia oe estBDiisn
ed for hay at the present time, as In
tbe minds of most it is rather early
to be very anxious to sell. A motion
was made and duly farrled wblon
said it was the concensus of opinion
of those 'present that a minimum
price of $20.00 for hay in the stack
or barn should be asked, and $25.00
T. O. B. the cars. , The freight rate
sltuntion to vnrlous California points,
particularly with regard to compara
tive rates to various points; was thor
ouahlv discussed, and an attempt will
be mndo to sccuro an equalization of
these rates.
The need of R commercial hay hal
ing qutfit in tho county was brought
out, and there wcro 1000 tons of hay
represented, growers of vftiich desire
to secure the services of such; an out
fit in the near future. It wos point
ed out that there was no outfit of this
kind available at the present time,
and most of the baling in Oie past
was done by farmers with small out
fits after the rush of fnrm work was
over. County Agent Howell was re
quested to make an attempt to secure
someono locally to put nn outfit into
the field, and if this could not be done
to get in touch with a commercial
outfit in Jackson county and nttempt
1 to bring them in for this year's crop.
The county ngent was also request
ed by the growers to try and weYk
ont a plan for getting In touch with
actual farmers In California who are
desirous of securing hay, and plaeo
local parties in direct contact with
them. This will be done through the
offices of tho California county
agents, as this system'. of various
state extension service covers most of
tho agricultural producing s6ctlons of
the west.
The growers nlso decided to request
of, the State Mnrkot Agent Hpenco
that a hay inspector he appointed to
cover tho local morkot.

enough water flowing over the dam

Chicago. Grain prices have only
started to climb, in the oninion of
James A. I'atten. noted millionaire
Board of Trade exnert. In an ex
clusive Interview, this veteran of many
campaigns of future grain-buying de
clared that he believes wheat will go
to z, corn to $1.25 or $1.50 and oats
to at least 60 or 05c.
If these prices are reached, it will
put at least another billion dollars of
profits into the pockets of those who
have been fortunate enough to get
and hold onto supplies of the grains.
The sensational bulges of the Isst two

ded nearly $2,000,000,000 in unex
pected profits to tbe few holders of
grains and especially wheat. There
are today very few who have wheat

OBTAINED FOR TEST
ITHACA, N. Y. "Cold weather
corn" has been Introdmed Into the
United Btntes by Dr. R. A. Emerson,
of tbe department of plant breeding
at Cornell university, and F. D. Rit
chie, in charge of corn breeding work
for the United States department of
agriculture.
Returning from a long journey in
the highlands of South America,
those men have brought back with
them some 200 specimens of Andean
corn which it Is believed will prove of
great value to tbe agricultural indus
try of the northern continent. ,
. The corn collected represents var
ieties entirely foreign to this country,
hardy and early of maturity and
growing at altitudes ranging from
7000 to 12,600 feet. Tho type is dif
ferent from any northern hemisphere
corn and tho ears ara not good from
our standpoint, being small and im
perfectly formed. It Is plunned, how
ever, to cross breeds with some of
our best corn producing hybrids which
re expected to flourish In fairly high
altitudes.
The tonr was undertaken during tbe
latter part of last January. The major
part of the collection was made near
the equator, in the most lofty por
tion of the Andes. Striking northward
to Bolivia and Peru, the expedition
made many interesting finds In the
neighborhood of Cusco and Huancaya,
tbe latter at an altitude of 12,000
feet above sea level.
. Though most of the collection was
made in the tropics, the territory cov
ered was cool and the expedition was
within sight of snow continually. .
The limit for growth of corn seem
ed to be 12,600 feet.

New Yort. Strength and activity
in individual stocks are overshadow
ing the occaaionui irregularity in the
gcuc ul list which results from prollt-
tukiug and short selling on the Block
exchange. It is the general feeling
in tho speculative circles that stock
prices tue due for a slight technical
reliction following tbe almost unin
terrupted advance of the last few
woeks. But week end orders from out
side points did not bear out this con
tention, as the bulk of orders in com
mission houses were for buying rather
than selling stocks.
Heady absorption of selling orders,
even for Uie oil stocks, showed that
the market was not ready for the ex
pected .decline. Mercantile retail
conditions in the country were re
ported quite favorably Ly tbe head
of one ot the country's largest es
tablishments and Industrial reports
uniformly pointed to preparation for
larger activities this fall. Unemploy
ment has lncreaaed a little of late but
there la no distress in any section of
the country: Oram and cotton mar
kots present a great conttast to other
years, presenting anything but a mid
summer appearance
Oil stocks were sold in the early
trading on reports of furtber price,
cuts in crude oil by Magnolia, Frairie,
Sinclair and Texas Co. l'rictB quite
generally declined, but losses were
comparatively small, and in some cases
wore made up in the afternoon. Stand
ard Oil stocks, both on the curb snd
the listed market, did not shore the
reactionary tendency on the impor:-
ant company shares. '
Ueneral Electric continued its
spectacular rise at the head ot the
industrial list, advancing to 258 Vi for
a further gain of 4 points. Jo de
finite announcement bos yet been
made with respect to the splitting up
of tie stock ot this company. Ameri
can uan also continued the strong
lead which has characterised this
atock in more than a week, adding
nearly two points and silltng up to
122, only fractionally below of previ
ous high tor. the yesr. Associated

stocks, with a rise of five points to

showed signs of reaction, with tbe ex
ception of Cerro He Pasco, the out

nresident of tbe Oregon Jersey Cat
tle club, who. spoke on tbe antl-oleo
bill, giving facts and figures to prove
that no substitute for butter contains
the necessary vitamines.
W. A. Ayres, secretary of the Lane
county fair assooistion gave a short
talk, speaking of the deficiency of
agricultural products and urging all
breeders to put forth every effort to
display larger stock exhibits at the
county fair.
W. W. Calkins, president of the

Interesting and encouraging talk on a

Professor K. C. Jones of U. A. u.

fnllnwed bv V. II. Biilllie, district
club leader, who explained to the calf
club members.' how to fill out tbe
score cords. Five members tried for
first place, three for second, and
tJiree for third. Credit is due Mr.
Plnnk, lender of the Jersey Boosters
club, in that three members, under
his leadership, were among the win
ners, two among the five who tried
for first place, and one for third
place.
Another interesting fact was that

One ot the main features of tbe
day was the display and viewing of
the herd which consisted of thirty
head, in a continuous line through
two large barns. Across one end were
the Junior animals and tbe herd sire,
a well bred and magnificent animal.
With tbe exception of the herd
sire, and two foundation cows, the
entire herd has been raised by Mr.

Extension workers from the college
highly complimented tho herd on their
condition, saying there was very
little room for improvement. Sev

Extra Dividend on
Steel Despite Low
Record For Quarter
NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 2. De
spite a perceptible .slackening in
steel operations' In the second quar-
tor or the year, directors of the
United States Steel Corporation,
have declared an extra dividend of
fifty cents on the common shares
for the third successive quarter, In
addition to the regular dividends
$1.24 a share on the common and
11.76 a share on the preferred
stocks.
Total earnings of the corporation,
amounting to 141, 381,039, while al
most $9,000,000 below those of the
previous three months, were how
ever, about $6,000,000 above prelim
Inary estimates made In the flnan
clal dletolct.
Confidence In the business outlook
of the country was expressed by
K. H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, after the
meetlnr of directors.
' Z made a statement early In April
that I believed that as soon as the
presidential election had occurred
and at least a month before,1 we
would have good business in this
country," Mr. Gary said. "If I were
to make a prediction at the present
time I would not change, materially
what I then said.
"An Immediate settlement of the
reparations questions,", Mr. Gary
declared, "would have a favorable
effect upon the world's business.
Failure to reach a settlement prob
ably would not have a decidedly
adverse effect but would be harm
ful and as the days and months go
by.
"It takes months to effect fav
orably than to effect It adversely.
The tendency Is forward, onward,
and this Is particularly true with
the United States, Politics may In
terrupt but cannot for long; hold
back natural and reasonable prog
ress In this country."

Be Sure of Children's Health
ARE your children healthy? Are they stwrngand vigorous?
are they frail and delicate -pale, underdeveloped?
These latter signs are indications of malnutrition a condi'
tion that exists in one out of every three children in the
schools of our nation.
Such children are starving for want of elements necessary for
health elements found in greater proportion in good bread
in BETSY ROSS Bread- - than in any other single food. Truly,
good bread is a wonderful food, yet few eat enough of it.
But, there are many grades of bread, and to best serve your
family's health you should select a bread containing the
health giving properties in the right proportions. You will
find them in BETSY ROSS a loaf of unsurpassable quality.
Select your bread wisely for "There's a difference in bread."
Don't say "bread," say BETSY ROSS.
