but with large numbers at the other centers
the trade went off little as compared with
the close, of last week, especially in Chi
cago, and packers and order buyers here
were very bearish. While they started out
yesterday to take on their supply at about
steady prices. trade became rather slug

call our market fairly steady

BERRIES GROWN IN
BITTER ROOT FIND
"A READY MARKET
Hy EN- thousand dollars month for
stra Wherries NAV sound high

|" EN- thousand dollars month for
strawberries may sound high
- but the fact is that more than
that sum was received by the Bit
ter Root Farm Products association
! for berries sold in August. Two car
| loads were shipped to Chicago mar
kets last month and reports from the
brokers who handled the shipments
were that the trade was well pleased
with the berries and that the fruit
held up good under the long haul.
A demand for other car lots was Gre
ated by those received and Chicago
is now offering $3.15 at Hamilton
for every crate that can be shipped.
A car containing 444 crates was
shipped last week to Denver, Colo.
Here also the market is waiting the
luscious Bitter Root Berry.
Fewer Gull berries have marked the
second crop of the Everbearing
strawberries and it is the opinion of
o. N. Kaldor, manager of the Bitter
Root Farm Products company, that
this is the result of better care on the
part of the growers. The patches are
being picked closer than formerly, |
thus preventing over-ripe fruit as
we'll as understood berries.
Recent shipments from the plant
have included head lettuce, cucum ,
bers, green tomatoes, beets, carrots,
new potatoes and other varieties of |
fresh vegetables.
These items only fairly illustrate
the value of the preceding plant
and the marketing association to the
growers of the Bitter Root valley.
Possibilities heretofore unknown to
hat section of the country have been
to bear on the marketable
produce.
The association was formed this
pring by few progressive men and

this town, has been purchased by
the Sheffield Farms, of New York
city, which concern will assume con-

ing large output of condensed or
evaporated milk, the acorn" brand
being well known throughout the
country. During the World War
the U. S. Government was large
purchaser of the product of this

shipped to New York, and thence
across the pond to France.
The plant for years has taken the
milk from large herds throughout

verted it into one of the best of
dairy sections, where numerous
herds of high grade cattle may be
seen.
About $4,000 pounds of milk are
received daily at the plant.

MOTOR OFFICIALS PRAISE
TITLING LAW

AS a result of a conference held
at Boston by motor vehicle commits
sioners and officials from eastern
states. it is expected that a con-
certed effort will be made this win
ter to have uniform traffic laws
enacted that will have tremendous
effect in saving lives through the
prevention of highway accidents.
At the conference were represen-
tatives of New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, Maine, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and Maryland
I Delaware's titling law which has
served SO effectually to check theft
OF cars, came in for commendale dis
cussion and this it ia proposed to try
to enact into the statutes of all the
eastern states, In the question of
enforcement of the present traffic
regulations, Delaware was com
mended for its efficiency,
The operation of various laws to
prevent drunken drivers from max
ing the highways hazardous were
discussed generally, and it was
shown that where several New Eng
land states have mandatory statu-
tes, the number of accidents has
been reduced.
Another conference of the motor
vehicle administrators will be held
at Harrisburg, Pa. in January.
This conference. it is believed, will
arrange to suggest certain uniform
regulations in the laws of the east
ern states, that will aid all the Com
monwealths in reducing the number
OF accidents and fatalities. There
will also be time, after the confer
elce to present the changes in the
statutes to the various legislatures
for enactment.
