average yield of 10.4 tons per acre.
Rye:
The area seeded 10 this crop the last
few years has been increasing faster
than that Of any other crop It has
done well on noEirrigated land where
most of the crop grows and Ia credited
with a value per acre Of $26.25 this
year. There were 1900 acres in 1919
and 5000 acres in 1913.
POTATOES:
The crop got off to a poor start this
Year. A cold, dry spring retarded ger
limitation and caused uneven stands
Later shortage ard irregular irrigation
water supply hindered development so
that the average state yield for the
total or agricultural crop was only $50
bushels per acre, compared with 1856
bushels last year. However, the De
cember price is about double that Of a
year ago, SO that the total value Of the
crop is $s,154,00O and the acre value,
$22650. A total value of $5,O95, 900 is
credited to 1913 with an acre value OF
,$149S5.
In the commercial districts it Is c.
ttimated that % per cent or this years
crop is still in the growers hands.
This would mean that there were still
1900 to $500 cars yet to move. The
average yield Of the strictly CONNER

pared with 2,OO1,O 900 tons from 667,
600 acres in 1913. Prices are higher
thar last year, so that the total value
OF $3S, $4,000 exceeds 1918 by $3.50
0OO Feeding was necessary a month
earlier than usual, causing some un
easiness among stockmen, especially In
northern counties where prices are al
ready very high. Stock shipments on,
of other districts have tended to equal
lie the hay shortage that existed ear
lier in the season.
SUGAR BETS:
This crop had bad sason. A dry
windy spring caused much reseedint
and later uncertain water supply
caused further loss. The average

CLOVER SEED:
In value per acre, this crop ranks
second in 1919 and 1918, being credited
with $4,000 and $11S.90 per acre, re
spectively. 1t is wonderfully profit
able crop for those who understands
the game. No state equals Idaho's

operation stated that while the farm
ers OF the nation received $4,000, ,000,-
600 last year for their crop, the cost
to the ultimate consumer was $13,-
900 .OOO, 600. By cooperation. produ-
Ger and consumer could be brought
more closely together, il was suggest
ed. eliminating the necessity OF re-
handling by several middIemen, blam-
ed for the disparity between produc-
ers' and consumers prices.
In the effort to increase the capi-

Salem Real
Estate Now
Moving Fast

Real estate transfers and transact
ions totaling at least ss.e4l,OOO have
taken place in Marion county during
the period. January /. 1890. to June
|. 1920.
This is shown by records in the Of
flee of County Recorder Mildred Rob-
ertson Brooks and is based on the
valuation set by revenue stamps af-
fixed to warranty deeds filed subse-
quent to the first of the year.
Recorders fees amounted to $4,-
56S20 during this period and is in
dicative of the unusual amount of
work received by this office during
the first five months of the new year.
Property descriptions show that a
considerable portion of the county's
total of transactions originated in the
city of Salem.
Salem's Growth Indicated
Within a very short time, Salem
residents expect to have definite in
formation concerning the city's pop
ulation. One very good pointer to the
direction in which the wind blows
is found in the increasing number OF
real estate transactions in Salem and
vicinity.
During March 1920, 3SS warranty
deeds were entered on the files OF
the county recorders office. Aprirs
work is placed at about 800, while
the number of bona fide transfers for
May is estimated at $50 From the
increased number Of business trans
fers and property exchanges in the
city Of Salem, many census prognos-

will such an aggregation OF benedicts
