SCIO CLAIMED TO
BE THE -DAIRY CITY"
Southern Town Yields to the
Claims and Adopts "Dairy
Center."
con tinned from Tuesday, August 26. 1
. Shcdd, Or., Aug. 26. (Special to
Democrat.) As the result of a slight
dispute between Shedd and Scio, as
to which ha the right to tiie title
of "The Dairy City" the Shedd Com
mercial club has decided to yield the
recently adopted slogan of this town
to Scio and adopt aother slogan as
"The Dairy Center."
This action was taken at a recent
meeting of the local Commercial club
when a letter from the Scio Com
mercial club asking that the slogan
be changed.
The Shedd Commercial c ost
no time in acting upon tl.eir decision,
lioney Louis, a sign painter was in
town last week and he was detailed to
repaint the arch, recently erected near
the depot, bearing the inscription of
the slogan, "The Dairy City'' and
make it the "Dairy Center."
However, the Shcdd people express
themselves in no uncertain terms
concerning the attitude taken by Scio
in the matter in the newspapers of
that place.
Contending he was speaking for
himself as well as others one Shedd
booster said: "I noticed an article in
the Scio paper, acclaiming us to be
moss backs and that we were back
numbers. We are not boosting of be
ing the only town on the map but
we hardly knew Scio was on the map
as a dairy city. We did not know a
few short horns and a milk conden
sery made a dairy city. Some of
Scio's dairy enthusiasts ought to make
a trip to Shcdd and see some of the
Jersey herds around here."

J. E. Stout Proves Value of
Fertilizing Land For Big j
Crops. I
Growing 246 bushels of oats oft 1
1-2 acres of land, J. E. Stout, not only
believes that he has established a rec
ord, bin he believes that he has prov
ed the necessity for fertilization. The
acre and a halt of which this big yield
was threshed had been fertilized with
manure last spring. The balance of
the tract sowed to the same oats at
the same time, comprising 33 acres
produced 35 bushels to the acre. The
place is known as the J. W. Corum
place, on rural route number two.
The oats are known as side pats and
were planted this spring. The June I
rains were largely responsible for the
heavy yield, but Mr. Stout declares.
that the spreading ot manure on the i
land was responsible tor the unusual
ly heavy yield over the small tract.
He says he will fertilize his entire
farm.
Besides oats he has also produced
this year 174 sacks of wheat off 17 1-2
acres of laud. This amount to 22
bushels to the acre. On eight acres
he grew 15 tons of cheat hay. Eu

Forecast As to Prices Have
Been Fully Confirmed Say
Authorities.
CHICAGO IS PROVING
BIG MARKET FOR FRUIT
However. Oregon Pears Have
Been Bringing Excellent
Prices This Season.
Portland, Or., Aug. 27. Former
forecasts made in these reports of the.
probable course of the pear market
have been fully confirmed. When
the market reached $t.0 for 'Bartletts
it could be plainly seen that the up
per limit was within sight so far as
f. o. b sales were concerned in the
better sections.
Now the pear market is breaking.
At Kastern points values are sliding
rapidly and the toboggan course will
j likely be utilized by other markets
within the immediate future. Chica
go is proving the big pear market
at present and latest sales there make
f. o. b transactions of the Northwest
ern Fruit Fxchnngc of Ibis city, look

! TIip nrcsi'iit near market is sininlv
another illustration of the fact that
the average producer and selling orga
nization generally overstays a good
market or else sells before the mar
ket has become settled.
. The big prices oblained for pears
in the Pacific Northwest this season
to date can he attributed to hut one
cause W. F. Gwin. head of I he sell
ing force of lite Northwest Fruit
Miesc prices were irom c io an -
box above the values that some other
shipping organizations were asking.
This caused some cancellation of or
ders at the higher prices at the start
and only by perseverance were the
other districts boostd high enough to
keen the market from sagging.
The excellent prices secured for
Bart let t pears this season were the
results simply of strong organization
working to aid the producer. The
North western Fruit F.xehange bore
the brunt of the fight for higher proc
cs this season, but when the high
point was reached it had sold practi
cally all the cars under its control.
Other organizations were not nearly
so fortunate for the reason that Ihey
overstayed the strong market until
Kastern Bartletts made their appear

ginning at Pacific Northwest points
and fairly high nriff" arr promised.
The Big Why !
The reason I am dating so many
sales is that Auctioneering is my
specialty and not aside line. The
following dates are taken, which
date shall I reserve for you?
