CLOVER SEED YIELD
WILL Be REDUCED
Midge and Root Borer do Much Dam
age, Many Glover Fields win Produce
No Seed Whatever,

That in most parts of tae valley there
will scarcely be one bushel of clover
seed to 10 acres is the opinion of Luther
j. Chaplin, who has just returned from
a tour of the eastern part of the valley
extending over Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. During the past few weeks
he has been studying the clover seec
problem and finds that the crop is prac-
tically ruined, and that a majority of
the farmers think they are going to
have a good crop when in fact they
have none whatever.
The clover fields in general are bad
throughout the eastern part Of the val
ley, mostly from two causes-clover
midge and clover root borer, both of
which have been working in the fields.
In many cases either pest would be
enough to destroy the crops.
As a result of news item in tle
Capital Journal calling attention to the
fact that Mr.. Chaplin would inspect
clover fields" G. W. Hunsaker tele.
phoned him to have him inspect his
7O-acre field. The county agriculturist
went out to Mr.. Hunsaker's field and
found it in the finest shape possible. In
this instance there were very few midgt
or borers found. The crop will be ready
o cut next week. The fine stand is the
! result of pasturing sheep on it unit
May 10 and then clipping it. 1t IL
expected that a good yield of seed viii
be obtained.

western growers. George G. Gaede, at
tached to the New York office Of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange Of Port
land, sailed from New York on May
9th for Buenos Ayres, and is still in
South America, where he is meeting
with most encouraging success. Deals
involving over 10000 boxes of North
western apples have been closed, with
other deals pending, which cables re-
ceived by the Portland headquarters
of the Exchange from Gaede, state will
be closed in another day or two.
The most important feature of the
whole business is that for the first
time Northwestern fruit growers will
get the full benefit of the sales in
thesn markets. Buenos Ayres and Rio
are both notoriously high prices mark
cts, and for years, New York and Lon.
don middlemen have monopolized this
trade, buying at the cheapest possible
prices from growers in the Northwest,
and turning the deals at a very hand
some profit for themselves. While this
is perfectly legitimate business, the
Exchange regards this business in ex-
actly the same light it does the Euro
peeI business; namely, that the
stralghtest lines between producers and
consumers, consistent with practical
methods, promise maximum results for
producers and the best service and pro-
lection for consumers.
In both Rio and Buenos Ayres, boxed
apples have in the past been selling as
high as $1,000 per box gold, while the
same fruit has netted the growers out
here only ordinary prices. This condi-
ton is not conducive to the good of
either the consumer or the Northwest
ern farmer, and members of the Ex-
change are therefore congratulating
themselves on the opening Of these
valuable markets that have been closed
them, except indirect, heretofore.
Pursuant to its policy which has
made it the best known and most in
fluential factor in the foreign boxed
apple markets, the Exchange has
through its representative now in South
America, established branch sales Of
flee in BuenOs Ayres, under salaried
resident manager, who will be on the
job throughout the active season each
year and safeguard the Exchange Is
interests.
The Exchanges eabled adviees arc
to the effect that these South American
markets, while valuable, are quite
limited, and that engagements have al
ready been made lor practically the en-
tire seasons requirements and that a
warning should be given against con-
signments to those rarkets unless am
outlet is fully arranged for in advance
on the other end. 1t is stated that un-
less these conditions are fully met, dis
astqr awaits the unwary shipper. AS
freight rates from the Pacific Coast
to Buenos -Ayres are very high (about
$l.75 per box, through via New York;
only those with the very best connee-
tio1s and detailed knowledge of the
financial and business condition pre-
valent IN those countries should at
tempt this traffic.

Kircher, aged AZ, and Earl l.. Mathew
son, 21, are under arrest here today,

According to the police, Mrs. Kircher
admitted cashing certain checks she de-
clared MathewsOn wrote. She claims
Mathewson wrote the letters. The
