FOR PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
Replies From the Farmers Are Slow
Coming In.

On March 18th the agricultural COM

cular letters 10 the farmers of the
county, asking their opinion as to the
advisahility of the establishment in As

mers could leave their produce TO be
sold at current Portland market prices.
A minimum charge was 10 be made for
the service and it was expected that
the plan would meet with the instan-
taneous approval of the farmers.
However, up TO date but three re-
plies have been received by Chairman
c. W. Carnahan, of the committe, and
he is anxious to have a more general
expression of opinion before the next
meeting of the club. In the replies re-
