From the Rural Northwest.

Western Washington potatoes are
selling on the Sound at $l6 and $l7 per
ton, and Yakima potatoes at $l8 and
So per ton. The market is reported
firm.
Shipments of good apples to San
Francisco from Oregon and Colorado
have been too free of late and prices are
lower in that city.
The shipments to st. Louis of the ap-
pies exhibited at the Hood River Fair
is enabling Oregon to go through the
closing weeks of the Worlds fair with d
display of apples of unrivalled beauty
and quality. Hood River apples will be
better known than ever.
The hop planting boom is on in Ore
gon. In all probability the price of hops
will be down to the cost of production
within two or three years. Whether
this will be real injury to Oregon is a
question. The men in the business will
be losers. On the other hand the ex-
perience of the last few years shows that
hops can be grown ut materially lower
cost in Oregon than in New York state
or in England. A period of low prices
will almost extnguish the hop growing
industry in New York and will greatly
reduce it in England and the result will
be permanently enlarged market for
Oregon hops The increase in the worlds
consumption of hops from year to year
is so small that Oregon can only make
noteworthy advance in profitable hop
production by supplanting the product OF
other hOp-groWing countries.
At new points like Prosser, Washing

Hood River has made its reputation on
the Clark's Seeding and cannot afford
to confuse dealers and consumers by
sending them any other variety This
does not prove that Clark's Seeding
is the most profitable berry which can
be grown at points like Irrigon or Pros
ser There are, in fact, comparative
ly few places except the Hood River
district in which the Clark's Seeding
ranks among the more profitable market
