HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 23, 1926. PAGE THREE POTATO PR 1926 LOOK GOOD By State Market Agent. The potato crop of the United Statea Is about the same as that of last year, and indications are for fair prices. Prices were good in 1925, and the production this season is about 13 per cent below the five year aver age and around 73 per cent of normal Peaches 50 Cents Each. While peaches have retailed as low as 50 cents per box in Oregon they retail from 15 to 50 cents in England, so states a Department of Agricul ture publication. The same authority states that Pacific coast Gravenstein apples sold for $4.62 in Liverpool, with the smaller sizes at from $3.41 to $3.89. Southern apples in barrels sold from $5.11 to $9.73. Illinois Knows Value of Lime. The state of Illinois knows the val ue of lime as a renewer of cropped lands and last year 800,000 tons wore purchased by the farmers of that state. Oregon farms need lime us badly as the middle west states but the high cost has held it back from general use. The lime rock is shipped from Jackson county to the prison plant at Salem, where it is ground by prison labor and shipped to farmers under local freight rates. The com bined rates make tho price too high for general use, so state the farmers and county agents. Governor Pierce has taken up the matter of reduced rates with the Public Service commis sion, and a hearing has been called at Salem, September 22. Warehousing Canned Goods. The Secretary of Agriculture has authorized the placing of canned goods on the list for warehouse stor age under the U. S. Warehouse Act. Canners and various growers' asso ciations in Oregon and California have been working for this for two years past. Under a Federal Ware house receipt it is far easier to fi nance than under the old method. All products must be Federally in spected by licensed graders before they enter storage and they are barred from storage if they do not meet the requirements. Farm Conditiong Improve. The Bureau of Agriculturaal Econ omics states that the average farm family earned $648 for labor and man agement during 1925-26 or $24 more than in the preceding year. Although tliis showing is considerably abovs the very meagre earnings during the severe years of the depression, it is yet nearly 30 per cent below the comings of 1919-20, the Department states. formation on which to base the price may safely put it at nearly one-third of the market value of a 200-pound I'ig. This relation of cost of wean ling to cost of market animal in Ore gon was arrived at through many sur veys and studies by the experiment station animal husbandry department. The actual cost of producing the pig depends mainly on the size of the lit ter, but 30 per cent of the value of the 200 pound pig has been found to be a fair valuation of the weanling, Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50 should be applied to apple trees before fall rains start to protect against rainy season infections with apple .tree an thracnose canker and European can ker where present. One-crop farmers using irrigation water all need it at once whereas di versified crops in suitable rotations in one community permits a more even distribution of water throughout the irrigation season. An increase of 50 per cent in crop production through rotation is made on the ex periment station farms at Corvallis where the oldest experimental plots in Oregon are maintained. FARM POINTERS.

Although new applications are being admitted every day, 1268 new students were accepted up to September 15, it was announced today by Carlton E. Spencer, registrar. The total resident enrollment, Mr. Spen cer estimated, will be approximately 3500 which exceeds last year by about 300. Scholarship rules, in effect for the first time this fall, designed to elim inate poorly prepared students have so far kept approximately 300 from entering, Mr. Spencer said. Those who have failed in other colleges are barred. Non-residents must pay the $150.00 fee and meet two require ments: qualify to enter the state university of their home state and meet the Oregon requirements. Many students have been kept out, some go ing to other institutions, by the rule which allows the lowest one-fourth in Oregon high schools to enter "only on probation. "Although our motto may be fewer students and our scholastic standards high, enrollment will exceed all oth er years," Mr. Spencer declared. President Arriold Bennett Hall will n.ake his first public address at an exclusive freshman assembly Tues day as part of freshman week, the purpose of which is to introduce the students into university life. For several years the university has given the entering class psycho logical tests, which, this year, will be- gin Monday lasting two days. Th results do not affect the admission of students but throw light on what they are expected to do as the tests are utilized by the scholarship and disci pline committees as well as for edu cational guidance. Ban on Automobiles Wanted at University University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore., Sept. 22 Pointing out that automo biles brought to college by University students are a cause of poor scholar ship and increase the danger of moral delinquency. University authorities have appealed to parents to prohibit their sons and daughters from bring ing cars to Eugene, it was announced today. While several other, large institu tions have prohibited the use of stu dent cars, Oregon will attempt to solve the problem by seeking the par ents' co-operation, it was stated. "The increasing use of automobiles by university students has been ob served with much concern by univer sity officials everywhere," a letter sent to parents today read. "Careful studies have shown that they cause poor scholarship, are expensive, waste valuable time, increase the danger of moral deleinquency, and cause traffic congestion about the campus; that at best they are undesirable and un necessary at college, and that they are often positively demoralizing." Although permission may be ob tained in cases where automobiles are particularly necessary, officials pointed out that "we are constantly striving to maintain on the campus a simple, wholesome, democratic and NEW HONEY In comb or extracted $2.00 Gallon 6 gallon lots or more $1.88 Per Gallon Produced exclusively from clovers.
