PORTLAND, Ore., March V.i.
Pii'es paid the fanner for bin pro
duets in the Portland market have ad
vanced more than .'11.4 per cent dur
ing the past eight years, according
to figures compiled by President
Harvey Hcckwilh of the Portland
Commercial Club, lie ransacked the
iccoids of the Wells-Kargo 10 x press
company, of which he is general
ugcii, for prices in the local market
during the spring and fall of JDO'J,
1 !)()!") and 1010 and basel his com
parison upon these figures.
President Heckwith's findings are
startling. That the staple farm pro
ducts have advanced in price almost
ono-IIiird is not generally known, al
thoiigb the householder has had it
impresed upon him frequently that
the essentials wcie flying high. They
are still up in the blue and still ru
ing. The final altitude lccord does
not appear to be yet in sight.
The eleven commodities investigat
ed by President Hcckwilh are plain
.necessities. They have nothing to do
vilb high living and are potatoes, on
ions, mutton, veal, ham, tomatoes,
turnips, butter, eggs, cheese and
poultry. Turnips, alone, have re
mained I he snmo price in October,
11)10, as in October, 1002. However,
it is noted that the humble turnip got
ambitious in 11)02 and jumped over
10 per cent between Apiil and Oc
tober of that year.

Forecaster Beals Says Rogue River
District In Foremost in United
States Prevention Work Due to
Prof. O'Gara.
"Mcdford leads the United States
in the scientific fighting of frost and
Prof. O'Clara is the daddy of it nil."
Sucli is the unqualified statement
of K. A. Heals of Portland, dis rid
forecaster who has iust installed
complete weather machines in Med
ford which will be used by Prof. O'
Oara in local forecasting. High
praise is given this section for its
progressivencss in this matter b l Ik
forecaster who states further thai
every fruit distiiet in the Oiled
States is copying methods in vogm
locally.
"It has long been a known p,ict,''
states Mr. Heals, "that you can not
grow apples and pears successfully ii
a frostless belt. Orchardists hav
heretofore taken a blind chance oi
the weather and have won some vca ti
mid lost occasionally. Hut now with
the success attained in this valle
other distiicts are turning their at
tention to scientific prevention a
worked out by Prof O'Gara. Am
T would not bo surprised if the dc
partment eventually 'borrowed' bin
from .Jackson county to instruct othe
districts in frost prevention. " lb
worked it all out and placed it on .
sound scientific basis."
While the frost season will no
open until April first this year a
the blossoming of the trees is bad:
ward Prof O'Gara has already aindi
complete arrangements for this sea
sou's fight of Jack Frost.
