ficer in charge, says that the American

The first real touch of fall weather
is with us today and the thermometer is
now registering from 20 to IS as the
maximum heat during the week, with
night minimum of 50. The temperature
is Just about the same as it was this
time last year. The almanac says that
the sun rises at 5:26 and sets at 6:l3
o clock and that the moon will rise
this evening at seven minutes after
nine o'clock.
Labor Commissioner o. p Hoff has
made digest of the labor laws of the
state and prepared pocket leaflet con
tanning them. He has prepared several
thousand and they will be ready for dis
ttibution i'll short time, or just as

binderv where they are now being as
sembled and bound. Copies of the digest
can be had on application to the labor
commissioner : office on request.
There may apparently be no connec-
ton with the hop picking season and
fresh ranch eggs, but there is. When
the hop picking season is on, eggs go
up and such is the condition of the mar
ket TODAY. The Portland market is 38
cents case count and ~ cents dozen
fancy candled and dealers say the ad-
vance is due to the fact that farmers
are Just too busy at this time with all
the hop picking on to the carry their
eggs to market. Hence the scarcity and
hence the advance III quotations.
While the new crop of potatoes is now
worth about two cents pound, eommls-
sion men say the chances are good for
n decided drop in prices as soon as gen
eral digging begins and the big potato
states can average up their crops. The
Idaho crop is a bumper one and Colo
RADIO and Minnesota both heavy grow
ers of potatoes report excellent cond
tions. All of which may possibly mean
that the price here as an opener may
be something like 80 or 60 cents. At
least this is the opinion of potato buy
er who have been doing some pretty
close guessing for several years past.
L. H. Suter received a letter from
the renter on his farm in south Texas
who saws he has gathered Is bales of
cotton and will have from to 10 bales
more. A bale is composed of 1000 pounds
of seed and 500 pounds of lint. The
price of seed weeks ago was cents
and lint 81 i-2 cents per pound. There
was 40 acres in cultivation. This would
figure $3.50 per acre on what is al
ready picked and should there be but
5 more bales it would make it S74 per
acre if prices remain the same. L. H.
thinks it pretty good on land that he
has been offering for 500 per acre.
