thousand OF the names attached
to the initiative petition calling

rectness Of the names and adj
dresses without having informa-
tion as to their validity
1898 Names Certified
The attack on the interest rate
amendment, which was initiated
by j. F. Albright OF Oregon City,
is based upon the allegation that
S39s of the 13,44S names sign
ed to the petition were certified
to by seven notaries public with
offices in Portland, who were not
personally acquainted with the
persons signing, and had not
knowledge as to the correctness
of the addresses affixed to the
petitions.
The attack will be against the
notarial certificates OF these mo-
taries which, II inyalidated and
cancelled would automatically
nullify the S39S names attached
to the petition under their certi-
fication.
List Of Notaries
The notaries thus alleged to
have abused their commissions
and whose certificates are attack
ed are:
Caroline Herman, 342 Fourth

II these S39s names are thus
proven to be illegally included in
the petition the effect will be to
reduce the number of names on
the petition to far less than the
number required to initiate a

HIGH PRICED

LIGHT YIELDS
Grain in Salem Territory
About go Per Cent Of
Normal Farmers Mill
ing Low Price Wheat.

With the harvest practically
completed 1t is apparent. accord
Ing to those closely In touch with
the situation, that the grain crop
In the territory directly tributary
to Salem is about go Ker cent oil
normal this year, but that, by rea-
son of the high prices of oats,
barley. veatch and hay, offsetting
the low wheat price, the farmers
are in average financial shape.
One unexplained circumstance
in connection with the existing
market conditions, however. is
that the farmers are rushing
wheat, the low price product, to
market, and are holding In spec
ulative way the grains for which
there is greater demand and
higher quotations.
While the normal production of
wheat, the largest grain crop In
this section, is around 100000
bushels, the yield this year will
not exceed $1,000 bushels and the
bulk OF this crop is fall sown.
Spring Crops Poor.
All of the late spring grains
produced poor crops because Of
the extended drought. The aver
age production of spring grains
was only about 20 per cent Of nor
NAL, with spring oats virtually a
failure in most kields, although
some produced enough to harvest.
The most marked shortage is In
the yeatch crop, In which the en-
tire yield is estimated to be not
more than rs per cent normal. So
short is the crop that practically
no seed is to be had, dealers re-
porting their stock entirely de-
pleted, and with no prospect of re-
plenishing the supply In time for
the fall planting. Most OF the
farmers seeking seed veatch have
been able to scrape together
enough to fill their wants, but
some OF the tardy ones are going
to have to go without, as 1t is
hardly probable that the Euro
pean crop Will arrive in time for
fall paintings. Today veatch seed
is bringing the farmer 6 cents a
pound.
Early Crops Normal.
A general summary OF the grain
situation shows that fall and early
spring sown grains produced
yields around rs per cent Of nor
NAL, but that the late spring
paintings will not return over 20
per cent. The fall wheat aver
age is well above rs bushels to
the acre, with some fields report
ing as high as As to AZ bushels,
and several farmers harvesting
better than SO bushels.
Fall oats returned an average
Of 35 bushels to the acre as
against a normal production of 40
to as bushels. The smaller yield
Is. however, offset to some degree
by the higher prices being offer
ed. The few oats that have been
sold brought from 5s to go cents a
bushels.
Barley, which forms only a |
small part of the local grain crop,
ran only about 40 bushels to the
acre, but is bringing the farmers
around $50 a ton.
Hay is the real financial saliva
tion of the farmers this year, and
1t is on this product that they
are speculating most. The harv-
est yielded a good 10 per cent
crop. but little OF it has been sold.
