By State Market Agent.)
In some potato growing localities a
blight or disease has attacked the
early stock and many of the potatoes
are black or chocolate colored, and
after being dug they rot down. These
potatoes are unfit for food and those
selling them are liable to severe pen
alties under the pure food law. State
Market Agent Spence warns all deal
era in potatoes to be certain that the
sack branding law is complied with
when they purchase, that the respon
sibility may be determined in case of
diseased stock; otherwise the dealer
or retailer might be prosecuted for
both failure to have growers' name
on the sack and for selling unfit food.
No sack of potatoes may be legally
sold or offered for sale in Oregon un
less the sack is stenciled with the
grower's name or that of the associa
tion offering it for sale.
Greaham Concern Growing.
The Berry Growers Packing com
pany of. Gresham is a going concern,
according to its reports. During the
past year its membership has in
creased 25 per cent and its volume of
business is growing. Last year it han
dled two and a half million pounds of
fruit, of which a million and a half
were red raspberries. Loganberries,
strawberries, blackberries, cherries
and pears are handled and large quan
tities of the berries are barreled and
frozen. Payment to growers last year
totaled $220,841.
Unorganized, Little Power.
Organized manufacturers demand
protection and congress gives it to
them and through the power of organ
ization they are able to fix and main
tain prices. Union labor is organ
ized and it has the power to demand
protection against foreign immigra
tion, also to fix wage scales and main
tain them. But farmers, over thirty
million weak, are compelled to buy at
the fixed prices of the manufacturers
and let the middle interests fix the
prices of the products they raise.
They are practically unorganized,
hence their dollars do not buy as
much as other Americans. "It is im
possible to organize farmers," is the
often heard statement. Labor at one
t'me thought the task cf organizing
all the different trades was impossi
ble. And it was the biggest invest
ment the worker ever made. It would
sejm that farmers will have to organ
ize solidly to hold their own in this
day of organizations and combina
tions.
A "Federated" Countv.
Umatilla county has 235:600 acrer
of wheat this year and 200,000, acres
are Federation. It is one of the few
v.heat raising counties of the north
west to standardize and it is a main
nupply source for Federation seed
wheat for Oregon, .Washington and
Idaho.
Farmers' Incomes Shrinking.
In the years 1924-25 direct taxation
on farms in the United States in
creased 236 per cent over the average
from 1909 to 1914, while during the
same period the relative increase in
the farmers' income was only 100 per
cent. The ratio of indebtedness to
value of farms has now risen to about
4(1 per cent, as compared with 29 per
cent of five years earlier.
Don't Take the Chance.
Under state law there is both fine
and imprisonment provided for sell
ing potatoes in Orgon unless they
have been graded and the grade and
tho seller's name are stenciled on the
Back. No farmer or retailer can af
ford to take the chances of selling
without complying with the law.

The Strenuous Week-End.
From State Board of Health.
This is the season when on Friday
nights or on Saturday noons one sees
the roads filled with motor cars, and
trains and busses packed with happy
people all going away from town for
the week end. On Sunday night or
Monday morning the same people
come trooping back to town, many of
them haggard and worn. The call of
he wild is irresistible to most peo
ple and is one which all of us, who
are enslaved by our desks in the
cities, can well afford to heed for a
day or two each week. But why not
be sensible about it? Just because
you are going to the seashore or to
the woods, is no reason for overdoing
It
Although exposure to the sun is
recognized as a measure of great val
ue in treating some diseases, going to
the beach and lying on the sand for
the main purpose of getting sun-
turned it foolhardy. The effects of
sunburn, aside from disabling a per
son, at times results in conditions
dangerous to health. Acquire your
sunburn and tan gradually and by the
end of the summer you will be just
as brown and will not have been laid
up for a few days with a severe burn
nor will you have run any risks to
your general health.
Many people take long trips over
the week end, camping out at night.
This may be a recreation, but often
it is hard work. If you are soft, don't
try to do too much. If you intend to
camp out at night, be sure to provide
the necessary equipment. Don t car
ry a lot of needless truck. After you
have discarded everything that isn't
f psential, go over your pack again and
thoroughly check the necessary ar
ticles.
At all times be careful of the water
you drink. Remember that clear,
sparkling, running water is not al
ways safe. Often it is dangerous.
The safest policy is to boil all drink
ing water unless you know it is of
good sanitary quality.
Many of us city-living individuals
are unable to stand the strenuous life
of the open air and the sunshine un
til we have become a little accustomed
to it. A hothouse plant cannot sur
vive the ordeal to which nature puts
the hardy perennial. Most of us are
too soft to warrant exertion of a
strenuous week end until we have
gone through a gradual hardening
process. Use up your reserve by get
ting the most out of your week end.
Sleeping out of doors, moderate hik
ing and roughness, will do much to
improve your general health and make
life worth while.
Highway Association
Puts Out-Fine Folder
A concrete evidence of the prac
ticality of the movement to give joint
publicity to the attractions of the en
tire Pacific Coast, including Califor
nia, Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia, is given in the 96-page
beautifully illustrated booklet just is
sued by the Pacific Highway associa
tion of California. This is the most
attractive bit of tourist literature for
the Pacific Coast ever issued and con
tains several features unique in that
sort of publicity. It is devoted to the
attractions along the route of the
1 acilic Highway from San Diego to
Vancouver and Victoria, B. C, but as
that is the great artery of north and
south motoring, the very backbone of
travel by automobile up and down the
Pacific oCast, it necessarily compre
hends most of the great attractions of
this region.
The Pacific Highway is the world's
longest paved motor route. It has
along its great length every variety
of scenery the Pacific Coast offers,
among them a number of natural won
ders unique in all the world. For
over 1700 miles it is a continuous pan
orama of beauty and surprise, wit
nessed in the greatest of comfort of
climate and good road, with all the
accessories of safe and delightful
touring, such as fine hotels, well
equipped auto camps, garages and ser
vice stations. It passes through ten
great cities, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento,
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver'
and Victoria.
There are hundreds of miles of
ocean shore drive, with innumerable
bathing beaches, beautiful mountain
passes and valleys, vast areas of gar
dens and orchards, groves of Califor
nia's giant redwood trees, the only ac
tive volcano in America, a dozen high
peaks of perpetual snow, marvelous
Crater lake, the wonderful Oregon
caves, the famous scenery and water
falls of the Columbia river, two na
tional parks and two national monu
ments, the enhancements of Puget
Sound, "the summer playground of
the Pacific Coast," the charm of Bur
rard, Inlet, the Gulf of Georgia and
Vancouver Island, with lakes and
streams innumerable, all abounding
in trouc.
All this is revealed by over a hun
dred fine halftone pictures and inter
esting descriptive text, with road
maps of the entire route. A feature
that will be appreciated by all tour
ists is a glossary of names from end
to end of the route, telling how to
pronounce them and what they mean.
Anotner leature the tourist will ap
preciate is the luncheon dates of the
Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Exchange
clubs and of chamber of commerce
forums. The cover is a beautiful de
sign in four colors suggestive of the
scenery along the highway.
This help to tourists is beine dis
tributed to all chambers of commerce,
automobile club onlces and informa
tion bureaus free.
Dr. p. F. Butler, formerly located
i a dentist in this city, but of re
cent years living at Monmouth, has
moved to Portland where he is now
associated with the New York Den
tists at Fourth and Morrison streets.

Why pay a small fortune
for pipe tobacco?
There's no need to slap a mortgage on the old
homestead every time you buy pipe tobacco. No "
sir! Not now, when Granger Rough Cut adorns
the shelves of tobacco-shops everywhere.
A few years back, good tobacco did cost a for
tune. In those days Granger, too, would have
been expensive. But today, thanks to large-scale
buyingj new machinery and more economical
packing, it's possible to sell this extraordinary
tobacco most reasonably.
All ripe old Burley. . . the choicest pipe tobac-
co known to man. Mellowed by the same recipe
that made Jim Wellman famous back about 1870.
It's cut especially for pipes, too. . . in large flakes
that burn slowly, and so (underline this) it smokes
cooler. . . by several degrees 1
Cool. . . spicy. . . mild. . . and mellow!
man ever smoked any better pipe tobacco,
on this planet, anyhow!
