From State Market Agent
Wheat Consolidation Flan
On July 1 the norhtwest division
of the Farmers National Grain cor
poration will take over responsibil
ity for receiving wheat direct from
the 59 locals now operated under
the North Pacific Grain Growers
corporation and will market it di
rect to mills and exporters. Henry
W. Collins of Pendleton will be in
charge. The organization is new
and will be under the support of
the federal farm board. Under this
new arrangement this will become
one of the most important branches
of the Farmers National which has
a fine record of profit for its mem
bers. The second meeting of the
North Pacific will be June 15.
Protective Association Formed
A state-wide dairy protective as
sociation was formed at Salem on
Monday of last week. Its purpose
is to conduct a campaign in the in
terest of the law taxing oleo which
now threatens ruin to the dairv
industry. G. H. Fullenwelder, Carle
ton and G. P. Gillam, Amity are
president and secretary.
Butter Grading Required
Under present law, containers of
butter made in Oregon must be
stamped with the grade of the con
tents. The chief purposes of this re
quirement is to state the butter
quality which the purchaser has a
right to know and to stimulate a
fair price for superior value of good
cream used in the making of but
ter. The requirement rests most
heavily upon the creamery operator.
Its enforcement is under direction
of the state dairy and food commissioner.
Cherries
On the whole the black cherry
yield is estimated as fair for the
northwest. A large volume of this
fruit shipped in cralots is sold at
auctions ' in the market centers in
and east of Chicago. Among the
cooperative organizations now pre
paring for shipments is the Salem
Cherry Growers association. The
quality of the fruit under fair wea
ther conditions will be excellent.
The price is less promising than
last year at this time.
Cooperatives Unite
Six northwest canning organiza
tions with headquarters in Portland
have united their sales efforts
through the creation of a grower-
owned regional cooperative under
the name North Pacific Canners and
Packers, Inc. It was established
under Federal Farm Board author
ity. The six organizations now oper
ating under one head handled last
year a $3,000,000 business. Sixteen
different varieties of fruits and veg
etables were handled by these six
organizations last year. In addi
tion to canning and cold pack oper
ations they shipped about 7,000,000
pounds of fresh berries. Efforts
will be made to increase the use of
North Pacific Canners and Packers
brand and establish a trade demand
for northwestern products.
Russia Samples American Market
Russia works the world for mar
kets. Recently, reports our Ameri
can attache in Bogota, she shipped
free of charge to a large flour mill
concern in Columbia 50 sacks of
wheat for experimental milling pur
poses in competition with wheat
grown in America, This wheat is
smiilar in size, color and sample of
kernel to that grown in Manitoba.
The milling firm receiving this sam
ple has been supplied heretofore
with wheat from the United States.
recently it was decided to establish
a livestock cooperative market at
the Portland stockyards this year.
Another forward step taken at the
meeting was the decision to revive
publication of the Farmers Unoin'
News to stimulate interest in or
ganization insurance, collective
farm buying and selling and other
objects of the union.
The organization has more than
doubled its membership during the
past year. Officers elected were L.
H. McBee, Dallas, president; Mrs.
Betty Kappauf, Eugene, secretary
treasurer, and J. J. Seohust, Balls-
ton, vice-president
The next annual session will be
held in Salem.
Ludino Clover
Four acres of Ladino clover har
vested in aJckson county for seed,
last year, brought the owner $60
a much larger price than he would
have received from a crop of grain.

CHILDREN
CRY FOR IT
CHILDREN hate to take medicine
as a rule, but every child loves
the taste of Castoria. And this pure
vegetable preparation is just as good
as it tastes; just as bland and just as
harmless as the recipe reads.
When Baby's cry warns of colic,
a few drops of Castoria has him
soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Noth
ing is more valuable in diarrhea.
When coated tongue or bad breath
tell of constipation, invoke its gentle
aid to cleanse and regulate a child's
bowels. In colds or children's diseases,
you should use it to keep the system
from clogging.
Castoria is sold in every drugstore;
the genuine always bears Chas. II.
Fletcher's signature.
