A vailable Same Day Quotations
Are Established.
A new service to the people of Ore
gon will be rendered by Oregon
state college extension service be
ginning August 1, as a result of
recently completed arrangements
whereby market reports on all prin
cipal crops will be made available
on the tame day the quotations are
established. Through the United
States bureau of agricultural eco
nomics which has extended the fed
eral market service leased wire to
the Northwest, the market informa
tion will be available here from all
the principal centers of the United
States, Including the Pacific coast.
In connecting the present termin
us at San Francisco with the new sta
tions In Portland, Seattle and Spo
kane and Boise, the wire will pass
through Albany, where the extension
service has been granted permission
to tap It, and extend a loop to the
campus. A full time telegraph oper

ance of Gordon P. Boals, Junior eco
nomist at the college.
