that he will be able to overcome some
of the interference complained of by
radio fans of this city, in some of the
alterations he is making in the ma

will be heard very satisfactorily and
the radio thus supply preaching for
the Bethel congregation.

MARKET AGENT
The Potato Outlook.
While there was shortage of
crop in the three coast states last
year, there was a large crop of po
tatoes in the country generally, and
the coast production is but a small
factor in production. Potatoes are
being shipped into Oregon now from
aa far east as Minnesota, and from
any locality where the freight rate is
not prohibitive. From the general
outlook it would seem that prices
would not be better than at present,
and that holding for better prices ir
not warranted. The stock on hand
in the whole country in January was
sixteen million bushels greater than
at the same time a year ago,.
Beats the Kansas Record.
In tl-e market bulletin of February
26 was a brief description of a com
bine harvester used in Kansas and
Oklahoma which harvests a carload of
wheat a day. G. R. Hyslop, farm crop
specialist of the Oregon Agricultural
College, read the item, and wrote the
following concerning it:
"While Oregon has been using the
combined harvester for many years
with pronounced success, I ran across
an instance taut summer that I think
has the Kansas record backed clear
off the map. Sam Culley of Weston,
Oregon, with a combine harvester,
tractor drawn, harvested 250 acres of
Federation wheat that went 65 bush
els to the acre, in five days. This Is
approximately 2750 bushels a day.
The remarkable part of it was that
the machine was operated with three
men, one the tractor driver, one the
separator engineer and header tender
and the other the separator tender.
The grain was hauled to the elevator
direct from the machine with six
wagons,"
The Practical Way.
Very often we read stories in our
daily newspspers of how this and that
private-owned corporation had work
ed out a way to put their products
on the market t less transportation
costs, thereby effecting a substantial
saving, and giving u higher market
value to the company's stock. Now
farmers' organizations are doing the
same things. Here is one the Wis
consin State Department oi Markets
recently published:
One group of the Wisconsin Co-operative
Creamery associatoin began
shipping butter in carloads March 13,
1924. Between March 13 and January
1, 1925, seventy-six carloads were
shipped 2,103,478 pounds. The av
erage saving per ear was $23,46; the
total saving for the five creameries
in this group was 11,782.87. The rate
to market was reduced from 64 cents
to 65 cents per hundred. The fur
ther value of these group operations
has been the broadening of acquain
tanceship of creamery board officials
and teaching the practical value of
wide cooperation among farmers.
Many other farmer organizations are
profiting by following the Wisconsin
wsy.
Down to Sound Business Basis.
Agricultural Cooperation, a publi
cation issued by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, in its issue of
March 2, had an article on the opera
tion of the Pacific Co-operative Poul
try Producers of Portland. It stated
that the association received 100,756
eases of eggs last year and shipped
out 63,138 of them, about 105 cars.
The number of cases handled was ap
proximately 26,000 more than in 1923,
while the expenses were 13,290 less
than in that year. Sales for the year
were $842,496 and were 14.8 times as
sets. Total assets January 1 were
$63,611 and fully paid capital stock
of $64,890.
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Doolittle and
children drove to Portland on Wed
nesday where they will spend a few
days visiting with friends.
