SNAPPY TONE TO
. CATTLE MARKET
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec 5. Re
ceipts for the week were 985 cattle,
110 calves, 1S57 hogs, 3053 sheep
and 1C horses.
In the face of holiday conditions
the market for cattlo strengthened.
There was a snappier tone than was
expected. Steers sold at $6.70. One
car lot of spayed helferstsold at
.lO; "cows wfero In active demand
at good prices, calves sold at $7.50,
and bulls, which are in constant de
mand, sold at $4.25.
Hog recolpts were made up entire
ly from territory tributary to this
market and prices wero strong, be
ing from 5c to 10c higher than the
previous week. The quality of hogs
was good in almost every shipment,
except a few which wore ovor the
desirable weight. The opening of a
new territory by the railroad was
evidenced In tho recoipt of a ship
ment of hogs from Tillamook.
Sheep receipts -were moderate and
tho market was fairly strong. Ono
lot of yearling wethers, medium
quality, sold at $4.40.

KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME.
MEDFORD donloi-a arc offering California grown ap
ples to their customers.
"Without exception these aro as poor, measly and rot
ten apples as were ever placed before the confiding and
gullible public.
It is true, that tho applet .are free from pests, and
hence there may be no way to stop the sale, but the fruit,
is the most inferior ever offered locally.
These apples sell at. Watsonville for 50 and (50 cents
a box. They are retailed here from $1.50 to $2 a box.
Two carloads have been received.
These apples aro not uniform in size, are uneven in
pack, and once below the first row, arc more or less de
caved. Thev do not keep and arc of inferior flavor.
At the same time that local dealers arc buying Califor
nia apples. Kogue river valley growers are forced to ship
to California their culls and undersized apples in order to
find a market. These culls are superior in flavor, quality
and keeping properties to the imported fruit, yet growers
claim that, local dealers refuse their offerings.
This condition is wrong. lr should be the policy or
every dealer to handle only local products when possible.
Consumers .should demand the local product, and insist
upon getting it.
How is this valley ever going to become self-sustaining
if we send our money away from home to buy what we
produce here and let our own products rot in tho. field
A public market will help solve this problem. The
sooner we have it, the better for everyone producer and
consumer.
POTATO POSSIBILITIES.
THE Princeton (Minnesota) Union, under the caption
'Must a Few 'Spuds,' " discusses the potato situa
tion in its district as follews:
Princeton is not much of a potato market. Only 22
regular buyers and 25 warehouses with a storage capacity
of 500,000 bushels here. Some days quite a few potatoes
are hauled in by the farmei's 50,000 bushels or there
abouts. Probably 1,110,000 bushels will be shipped out of
here tin's seasonthat's not a great mam. Yield? Oh,
anywhere from 250 to 500 bushels per acre not very pro
lific. Prices not very good from 50 cents to $1 per
bushel. Other towns make quite a fuss over a few hun
dVcd thousand bushels of spuds, but we are modest people
here in Princeton and do not make any ado over ten or
eleven hundred thousand bushels of Irish lemons."
What the farmei's of Princeton have done, can be done
a great deal more profitably and prolificlv by the farmei's
of the Rogue river valley.
price can be obtained.
The past season was very
Hato grower. Conditions wore'
planted potatoes nave reaped a good harvest. Enough has
been demonstrated to prove the success of the crop.
"With proper seeding, proper soil, proper irrigation
and cultivation potatoes can be made one of the great
crops of the Rogue river valley," states Professor P. J.
O'Gara. "There is no reason why this section should not
become a famous producer of fine potatoes."
As high as 000 bushels of potatoes to the acre was the
record of E. AV. Carlton of the Table Rock district, who
made this record growing spuds between rows of young
trees as a side crop. It has been and can be duplicated
on many other farms.
Two other neglected staples can be grown locally and
find a ready market at profitable prices tomatoes' and
beans. Of course irrigation is necessary for the success
of all three of these crops. As high as twenty-two and a
half tons of tomatoes were taken from an acre and a half
of land. All kinds of beans do well in light land.
Any fruit grower can make expenses during the yeai-s
before his orchard has come into bearing by raising these
three staple crops. If he does not, his own lethargy is
principally to blame.
