gardening at the Oregon Agricultural
college has written the Commercial
Club stating that he will come to
Salem on Saturday, January 80, to ad
dress q meeting ON "Better Vegetables
and How to Market Them" Mr.. Mac
Pherson, also of the o. A. G. expects
to be in Salem ON that date to give
suggestions and advice on Cooper
alton in Marketing"
This meeting has been called by
George NJ. Weeks, chairman of the
farmers committee that was appointed
at the last meeting of the farmers
with the Commercial Club to consider
the formation of produce marketing
association.
AS Prof. Bouquet is recognized
authority on the raising Of vegetables
and Mr.. MACPHERSON an expert on the
problem of cooperation in marketing,
this meeting will doubtless attract
much attention among the members of
the oranges in this section. According
to those whose opinions are based on
experience, this section of the state
can raise vegetables in unlimited guam
titles, but the big and in fact the only
problem, is marketing.

The over worked slogan which ran
riot during the last campaign, Lower
taxes again made its appearance at

THE MARKETS
( = s****** y 4 !

The wheat market weakened yester-
day in Portland But the ups and
downs of the Portland market has very
little influence on the general price
throughout the valley. The Portland
prices on club wheat is for first grade
milling wheat, with no vetch.
The continued cold weather is making
the cabbage market nervous, and until
the amount of damage really done by
the freeze is known, cabbage will be
higher, Today the quotations are from
two to two and half cents wholesale.
If cabbage has suffered but little by
the freeze, this price will not hold. If
much damage has been done, look for
higher prices.
The feed and mill stuff market is
strong in Portland and if this continues
it will soon be effective in the Salem
markets, At present, the old price holds
good.
