CANDY MAKERS WILL
REVEAL SITUATION

The candy makers Of Oregon are
planning to tell the general public
the facts about the candy industry
and about the candy as a food prod
uct. Due to much misunderstanding
and to a lack of a definite knowledge
cf the facts, the candy industry has
been brought. to the verge of col
lapse. Ask the average man or wo-
man how much sugar goes into the
making of candy and you will find
that it is the general opinion that
ali the way from 25 to SO per cent
goes into cady making.
This has led many people to be-
leve that if the candy factories were
still further restricted or possibly
entirely put out of business, the sugar
shortage problem would be solved.
But this is not correct. Far from
using 25 to so per cent, the candy
industry uses something less than 8
per cent of the sugar used in this
country.
Even if the entire amount were cut
off from candy making, the sugar
situation would not be greatly re
lieved.
The candy makers contend that all
should share alike in the saving OF
sugar. They have already given un-
til 1t hurts. There is no more patri-
otic body of men than the men in
the candy business and they have
gladly given up their supplies, but
they now feel that the interests of
the country call for a definite knowl-
ege of the facts.
People must realize that the candy
industry alone can not save enough
sugar to solve the problem Many
people, without knowing the facts.
Fave felt that candy could be cur
tailed and the problem solved. But

FIRE BLIGHT INFECTS
DOUGLAS COUNTY TREES

Fire blight, which was discovered
in Garden valley last week, has been
found to be widely scattered through
Douglas county, says the Roseburg
News. The county has taken charge
of the situation and is doing all the
olight cutting.
This action was made necessary by
the seriousness of the disease. 1t
can only be eradicated by thorough
work under careful supervision. A
crew of men is at work under the
direction of County Fruit Inspector
Earl Pearcey, which is rapidly cut
ting out the infections.
A letter was received from Prof.
Reimer, of the Southern Oregon Ex-
pertinent station, probably the best
authority on this disease in America,
stating that branches sent in from
this district contained in virulent
form bacteria or fire blight, and urg-
ing immediate work to eradicate il
from Douglas county, which has re-
mained immune from this disease
heretofore.
A similar infection was reported in
Hood River valley several years ago
but was completely stamped out in
one season by the drastic action OF
the county pathologist, Prof. Law
renee.
Three years ago slight infection
was discovered in Marion county, but
this also was checked. Jackson
county is still badly infested will
blight, mainly because prompt actor
was not taken, so authorities declare
as soon as it was discovered.
Fire blight is caused by bacteri;
which have character of very rapit
reproduction, simply dividing ever!
few hours to form new individuals
These bacteria live in the sap of thu
tree and in favorable weather ma!
run one or two feet day in a branch
The county court has given the in
pector complete authority to use ev
cry means possible to stamp it ou
before any great amount of damag
has been done. Once well establish
ed blight control maylcost the coun
ty thousands each year, as it has il
the Medford country.

facts show that the place to save
sugar where it really counts Is In the
home, from now on. Figures show
that out OF the "a pounds normally
Used by each person in the United
States in one year, less than seven
pounds are used in candy, while go
pounds are used in the home on the
table. The saving of 10 per cent
in the home is nearly equal to the
saving Of 100 per cent in the candy
industry. Candy makers believe that
fair-minded public, with these facts
in mind, will be willing to help share
the strain to the end that the big
industry built up through many
years, can survive and go through
without further curtailment as the
curtailment now is coming to the
roint where the future of the indus
try is looked to with fear.
It is eblieved by the candy max
ers that as the general public comes
to learn of the high food value Of
candy and also realizes the lengths
tc which the industry has already
gone that relief will not be with
held.
The series of advertisements is the
method of expression selected by the
candy makers as means to enable
them to get the full facts before the
public.

for fresh water installed, each to
contain 1900 gallons. Installation OF
two 10 horse power gas engines will
also be arranged for, these to supply
water in case the city power should

The Sunrise condensary at North
Bend, operated in that city for about
12 years, will be closed down the
first of the month. This was announc-
ed first by local dairymen, and by
Electrician Stumpf of the radio sta
ton, who is also government inspec-
tor for that locality. Chief Stumpf
upon inspection of the condensary,
found open vats were being used,
thus allowing the milk to spoil. Be-
sides the unsanitary aspect of such
conditions, there was danger of the
milk being poisoned by enemy ele-
ments, he said, upon whose recon-
mendation the government condemn
ed the plant.

CORN AGAIN TAXES A JUMP ON THELARGE
 FOREIGN SHIPMENTS
Staple Closed 1c Net Higher, While Oats Reflected the Action - Provisions
 Were Weaker

Chicago, November A,-Fresh indiea- tions that immense supplies of foodstuft from the United States will soon reach Europe made the corn market today av- craze higher despite sharp differences of opinion as to the magnitude and con tinuance of the export movement Prices closed firm, F to 1c net higher, with De- cember s1.2934G G1. .297s, and January, sl.S21s d1.32A. Oats gained 14 to s4c. The out come in provisions varied from un- changed figures to 45c lower.
 New statements from the food admin istration referring to the needs of the starving millions abroad gave corn an inward swing at the outset, but the eff feet was soon more than eounterbaianced by word that grain prices in Paris had fallen about 50 per cent. The Parts re- port was construed by the bears to mean that supplies in France were more plen- tiful than had been generally believed here This view, however was later eclipsed by advices that recent United States government purchases ! of flour totalled 100000 barrels that rationins of food in Great Britain would not cease for many months.
 Oats merely reflected the action ol corn. Weakness in the big market easeu provisions.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. November 21.-Higher prices ruled. in cotton today >from the opening to the close, the widest advances being scored late in the session when the trading months stood 100 to l2l points up. The close was 90 to 1l6 up. Small ginning returns and continued op- timistic feeling regarding the export sit uation created the demand.
 Early buying was due in no small meas ure to the press dispatches from Wash ilgton stating that all export restrictions on cotton had been removed, except on shipments to enemy countries This was officially denied later, in messages from the war trade board, but the very de- nial served to put the market higher than the levels reached in the early trading, because it was admitted that present restrictions on exports would be relaxed very materially in the near fu- ture. Much attention was paid to ex- port figures and buying resulted from the posting of exports from Galveston to English ports, amounting to 2S,00j bales The demand also increased follow
 ing the statement that there were on shipboard in New Orleans, awaiting clearance for foreign ports, total of 570s1 bales against only 15,254 year ago.
 The ginning returns from the census bureau were about 100.0O0 bales under ex- pectations, indicating an output this last period, between the first and middle of November of only SS3,970 bales against r. 420,S61 during the same period last year.

COTTON CONTINUES ITS UPWARD DRIVE .ON GINNING FIGURES
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 93 to 100 Points-Ginning
 Figures Small

New York, November 2i.-The cotton
 market showed increasing strength to-
 day owing to further indications of an
 ming figures. The general list closed
 steady at ( net advance of sS to 100
 points.
 The market opened at an advance of
 1S to 30 points and quickly sold 50 to
 62 points above last nights closing fig.
 ures on the ginning report and reports
 from Washington that the war trade
 board had removed all restrictions on
 exports of cotton except to enemy coun-
 tries and northern European neutrals. The market met considerable realiz- ing and some scattered southern sell ing on this bulge, which caused reac- tions of 15 or 20 from the best, but prices soon firrned up again and reached the highest levels of the day in the Ia trading when December sold at 29c and March at 27.S7e, and active months generally showed net gains of 1o1 to i1o points. The close was to 10 points off from the top, under realizing.
 Business was verys quiet during the greater part of the day, but became more active on the late advance when there was considerable buying for do- mestic and foreign trade account as we'll as covering and a broadening demand from scattering sources. Some of the private advices received here from the south said that export demand was be- ginning to increase, and it is believed that when cotton now held in this country for foreign account begins to move out, there will be some buying of futures in the process of transferring hedges from New York to the Liverpool mar ket
 The census report showed s,6s1,oo5 bales ginned to November 14. against S.57l, 1i5 last year and 9,6l5,o03 two years ago. The indicated ginning for the period between November l and IA was only 902 106 bales or the smallest on record. The light returns were attributed partly to the influenza and congestion, but probably increased confidence in the smaller estilpates of the yield.

TRADING AT LOWEST. EBb IN MANY WEEKS
 WITH SPECULATORS
Price Changes Were Erratic But in Last Hour Many Leaders Recorded Good
 Gains

New York November 21.-Erratic price changes attended today's stock market trading falling to the lowest ebb in sew era1 weeks until the last hour, when an active selling movement effaced nuiner- out gains.
 Until that period even the professional element seemed disinclined to take eyeii a temporary stand, pending partial re- adjustment of existing uncertalntles' pue the weight of the later offerings was too great to overcome.
 Moderate strength in the early ana iii termediate stages of the session was at tributed to prospects of less stringent money conditions after next week heavy uayment on the Fourth Liberty Loan.
 This possible relaxation was not ex- pected to apply to time funds the pau city of which is likely to extend over the years end. Specific reasons accounted for the heaviness of certain issues, such as shippings, metals and motors. Marine preferred recorded an extreme setback or 6 points with but slight recovery foi- lowing announcement of another lncon- elusive meeting of the directors.
 Coppers were exposed to constant pressure by reason of unfavoraple trade s conditions, yielding 1 to 21A points, ana motors were under the shadow of divl- QenQ TreduJuStliiSilo, CD e4iNNii " " terday's action of the Maxwell direc- tors.
 On the constructive side for time were rails, which evinced fair degree of strength, industrials, including United States steel and former war equipments, also oils and tobaccos, but the variable in these groups were forefited almost al- together at the end.
 Dealings in bonds were moderate but more diversified, the tone in the maln being slightly easier. Liberty issues were steady and internationals irregular. Total sales. par value, aggregated $s675, . O00 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

the west, based on the belief that there could be little hedging from theA south
 and none from foreign export houses.
 Therefore the market would advance easily as it has done, The Liverpool
 market closed lower, as hedges were put
 out there against small quantities of cotton bought during the past few days in the south. The feeling among the local trade is rather bullish on the be- lief that the spinners will buy on ad- vancing markets because they did not on the recent decline. Advces from the south are that owners of cotton will not sell as they are confident Europe will buy up to the limit of export freight at higher prices now that the govern ment restrictions are removed except to neutral countries and the central em- pires, with whom we are still at war
 These arguments are sound so long as there Is speculative buying We re- gret to say we do not see much increase i in trade buying on the rise.-Hubbard Bros x Go.
