MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREC!0. TTTTRSDAT. 'ATOI'ST Sf. lOTfi pxoe tttretc 10 HOLD HEARING IE SEPT. 4 SPOKANE, Wn.. Aug. 31. On Sep tember 4 the federal form loan board will hold hearings In Spokane, to de termine upon the creation of a farm loan district to serve the northwest and to decide at which point one of the 12 farm loan banks shall he lo cated to servo this territory. The hoard will hold its meotlngs In the federal building beginning at 10 in the morning. ijAs this is the only hearing the hoard will hold In the Inland Empire or in the states of Washington and Idaho it will be one of exceptional importance to tho farmers of the northwest. The hoard will undoubt edly be mare interested in hearing from tho farmers than from any one elso as tho rural credit law creating these banks was passed for the bene fit of all farmers and tho banks are really the farmers' banks. Farmers from all points in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon will gather in Spokane on September t to present their case personally to the board. One of the most vital points to be considered by the board is tho for mation of the district. Undoubtedly strong pressure will bo brought to bear to attach the northwest to Cali fornia and locate a bank in Califor-j nla or to attach the northwest to the' Bakotas and Minnesota and locate a bank In one of these states. Whether a homogeneous district comprising the northwest is formed and whether the hank Is located at some central point that will adequately serve the farmers of the five northwestern states will depnd very largely upon the interest taken by the farmers in presenting their own case to the board. The members of the farm loan board comprise men who are the leaders in finance and especially in farm finance. They are: William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury; George W. Morris, farm loan com missioner; Herbert Quick, Capt. W. S. A. Smith and Charles E. I.obdell. it happens that September 4, the date the farm loan hoard will hold its Spokane hearing. Is also the op ening ay of the Spokane Interstate fair. There will be a full program of racing and other big events, so that the farmers attending the hearings of the board will he able also to at tend the fair while In the city. Sec retary McAdoo and his entire board will attend the fair In a body. STRIFE BETWEEN LONDON', Anjr. 31.

Vermont J."atlonal Guardsmen who left Burlington yesterday under or ders from the war department to pro ceed to Eagle Pass, Texas, abandoned their trip because, according to of ficers the railroads would not guar antee that tbe troops could reach tl.e border before the timo set for a strike on Monday. The troop train passed through here today on its re To the Editor: This Is the first lettpr tho writer has been able to send you since his return from Europe owing to attend ing the Apple com'entton at Niagara Falls. The general concensus of opin ion of Niagara Falls with regard to the apple situation is that the upple shippers are making n great, mistake in view of the slzo of the crop. It is true that the price of. $1.2 3 for Jonathans and Jl.f.0 for Spit, have made a profit even to sellers, here; but it is the policy wo are crit icising and not that phase of whether profit or loss were realized. A high er price on apples throws a demand toward a cheaper fruit. Therefore the sale of apples will be less liberal than would be the case if a lower level of prices had been named and the writer Is strongly of the opin ion that the policies will later on bring about reaction of an unfortu nate character. One feature that will help tho west ern boxed apple Is the information that was generally stated to be the fact at Niagara Fulls that the crop or western New, York slate apples this year Is of rather poor quality. This being so, naturally the buying trade for best qualities is running , toward the west. On the other hand the difficulties of exporting apples are likely to prove very great. As already Indicated to you In a letter sent by the writer from tho steamer the allied govern ments stipulate to the steamship com panies exactly what they should carry in tonnage. The stipulation genorally covers almost the entire hold space. There there has been great difficul ty already in getting space for ex ports. 11 lull ltntes to Europe. While It Is true the rates have been announced at 12.00 for barrels and cents for boxes we understand that In order to obtain space ship,- pers have already offered a prem ium on tho space and have paid as much as $2.7'i for barrels to Liver pool and S3 cents for .freight on boxes. At the convention one ex porter prophesied that it would not be surprising to him If at the helghth of the season as much us $1.."0 and $4. SO on barrels would be asked by tho steamship companies. Under these conditions the relieve lug of the markets by exporting is problematical and unless the markets are relioved to a considerable extent undoubtedly western and eastern ap ples will be cheap during the season and possibly unprofitable to growers. Then too the attitude or the allied governments on the question of ap ples getting through to Germany Is exceedingly serious. More so than any one can appreciate except he who has been in England and knows the situation. Taking all these details into con sideration, tho writer's advice to ap ple growers is not to place too high a price on their production but to sell it at such a price as will enable a free distribution throughout the United States and the maintaining of a market that will tend toward a liberal consumption on the part of the public.

Although the progressive freight enihni'go de clared by the railroads will not be come operative until tonight, Ihe pros pective railroad strike already is causing widespread inconvenience through New York and New Kngiund. Every branch of business depending on rail I ransporlation is making plan's to offset so far as possible the threatened loss of transportation fa cilities.
