Of the unsold hops in Oregon are around
salem and Aurora. Some Of the other
sections are entirely cleaned out. The
shipment by rail and water from Sep
tsmber to March 8 were 1O4,sOO bales
which includes about $500 bales Of
olda Warehouse stocks on the latter
date were 500 bales. Of which 1000
bales we're stiI in growers hands.
This calculation Of the Salem firD
shows the 1905 crop Of this state to
have beer about ll4.O0O bales.
A movement has been started By
leading hop growers Of this and other
Pacific states TO secure a reduction in
the transeontinental freight rate on
hops The present rate is 2 cents from
the Pacific coast to the east. and the
growers ask that this be cut in two.
The reasons they give are that the low
market prices now current, which
means loss to the producers, and Il is

that unless something is done to fos-
ter the industry there viii be but

A Large Potato Crop.

The Maine Farmer tells about a
crop grown in that state. Why can
not our growers do as well? A sandy
soil is preferable to any other for rails
ing potatoes, and if made equally
fertile we see no reason why just as
many bushels per acre could not be
grown in Florida as in Maine. The
item from the Maine Farmer is as
follows:
Readers of the Farmer have for
years known that Dr.. Twitchen was
Il firm believer in the potato crop
not only for ArOOstOOk Co., but every
other portion of the state. Naturally
when the Dr. left the Farmer for the
farm, he set at work to prove this
theory and confirm his opinion. The
result is $50 bushels from five acres,
at a total cost, all allowing So per acre
for use of the land, of twenty three
cents per buShel. This cost would
have been materially cut down but
for the heavy rains of Sept. 1912 and
11-19 which OverfiOwed one acre and
caused the loss of the crop on one
third of this low piece. The Farmer
will very soon illustrate this field and

Intelligence and Farm Values.

Have you any doubt that the article,
quoted below states the truth in say
ing that an intelligent and progressive
DeighbOrhOod attracts new settlers,
and that property will increase in
value much faster there than it will
where the people are behind the
times?
Do you think that the writer puts
the case too strongly? 1t was pub
lished in the Tribune Farmer
No one will question the fact that
the location of a farm affects its value
Its nearness to railroads, boat landings
and markets has much to do with the
marketing of crops, and marketing is
but the end of harvesting. Whether
or not the education and intelligence
of ones neighbOrs should affect the
financial side of farming may be a
question more open to argument; but
after having lived in several different
states and territories, and mostly
among agricultural people, l have no

We observed the Baby Rambler
rose in very large quantities; it is ex-
pected this variety will be in great
demand next season. 1t is here in all
sizes, from and One-half up to finch

has shown that this rose will not grow
during July and August in this To-
cality, and that the hot weather
makes the flowers lighter in color.
Cardinal, a red tea rose, sent out
by Cook in 1904, looks a promising
one. EtOile de France is looked upon
here as coming rose; it is a perfect
color, but if grown too cool will get

other growers could not credit such re-

There are over 800 varieties of roses
grown; and florists who at any time
are looking for an old rose can always
find it here. The trade would also be
greatly benefited by visit to such
an establishment as this! an inspection
starts one thinking about where all
these 100000 and One-half-inch roses;
dry roots from $4,000 cannas, millions
of shrubbery, etc, go to. 1t is an
interesting business; and
Company deserve much credit for their
