Apples-The outlook for late va
rieties of apples yet unsold is i'm
proving. There was an 1870 in
crease in the commercial apple
crop in 1926 over the year before,
but on January 1, 1927 there was
only a 1880 increase in the stor-
age of boxed apples compared with
one year ago.
During the past season certain
sales of Washington apples brot
out the Importance of the condi-
ton of apples when sold on the
consumer markets. On the same
market, the same day, the same
grade of extra fancy winesaps
from this state sold for a differ
ence of one dollar per box. Re-
ports stated that this wide varia-
tion in price was due to the diff
ference in quality and the condi-
ton in which the fruit reached
eastern markets.
Hogs-Hog production has brok-
en- traditional tendency and the
usual large increase in number of
hogs following high prices has not
materialized. According to the U.
S. department of agriculture, the
recent pig survey covering IL corn
belt states indicates only about 4So
increase in the fall pig crop of
1926, less than 10 increase in the
total 1926 pig crop, no increase in
the 1927 spring pig crop and a
probably decrease in the hog
slaughter during the marketing
year 1926-1927.
This situation has been partly
brot about by hog cholera in sew
eral eastern states, floods and bad
weather and by farmers adjusting
their business to probable price

trends.
Since the price outlook is so
good at this time raisers who can
save a high percentage of pigs
this spring and hurry them to
market should make good returns.
Potatoes - Washington potato
crops which were above the five
year average production, are NOV
ing fairly steadily into marketing
channels. This movement has been
greatly helped by the short potato
crop in California, which is one
of our best markets outside of this
state. As evidence of this situation
in our neighbor state, on December
Is spuds were priced in California
at $1.40 per bushel as compared
to an estimated price of sos in
Washington, on that date.
Indicators point to steady
prices for the available supply Of
quality potatoes remaining in the
state.

Report from Benton Pomona

Report from beIttOu ou
The Grange met with the White
Bluffs Grange, Feb. 18th, Master
r. n. Bone being absent, Bro. q.
a Williams acted master for the
session. The afternoon attendance
was perhaps the best for a year,
for the reason that the master
is feminine, and they are not on
ly pulling together but are pulling
everyone into the grange that lives
near White Bluffs. They report
the cause of their rapid growth
to their social meetings, and the
urgent needs of the farmers.
Three resolutions were passed,
one to Bro. Knute Hill thanking
him for his superior work in the
legislature, one to State Master
Goss for his untiring efforts in
shaping the policies of the Ma
tional Grange; one to Senator
Morthland asking him to support
the classification of property a.
mendment to the constitution. Bro.
u. S. Case appointed to drape the
charter in memory of Sister R. H..
Bone who has been an officer in
the grange since it's organization.
The subordinate oranges gave
some very good reports and the
Benton County Pomona band ar
rived and gave very good ac-
count of itself. The band plans to
accompany the Benton Pomona del
egates to the state convention in
June.
The White Bluffs ladies served

candidates were ushered into the

spirited discussion on the routine
of the secretaries contest reports,
the banner contest was deferred
for the present. Our Pomona VIII

Bad Weather Fails to Deter Rival
Orators or Crowds at Out

LONDON. January 1. - Thirteen
platforms pitched every day in Hyde
Park in the shadow OF Marble Arch,
from which men and women address
meetings on every variety Of political,
religious and irreligious propaganda,
show that London's chief open-air
forum persists in favor.
Dull, misty, foggy weather has no
effect on the oratory and little on the
size Of the crowds, and from IL o'clock
in the morning until late at night
park idlers have their choice Of a
number Of warning creeds.
Whether by accident or design, each
society has for it's immediate neigh
Dor the rival society whose teachings
it regards as poisonous. This is con-
venient to listeners. II they do not
like one speaker they can hear him
vigorously denounced from the adjoin-
ing platform without shifting their
position. -
Methods of controversy are drastic.
But they fail to cause any alarm.
either to the police or to onlookers.
Neither the audience nor the police
seemed concerned the other day when
a speaker remarked to a heckler.
You are a liar, sir!"
Religious controversies are the most
popular. The Salvation Army sings
down the secularist on the next plat
form. A few minutes later the Saliva
ton Army Is in turn drowned out by

garding the extension of time of pass
ports issued to Australian business
men, Sir Hugh Dennison, Australian
high commissioner, announced that
Mr.. Kellogg had requested a thorough
review of the subject in order to as
sure favorable revision. Mr.. Chiffon
said that formal communicates fol-
lowing an agreement between the
Australian and United States govern
ments would be exchanged through
the British embassy.
The prime minister was introduced

+. Allen. Among those in the receiv.
ing line were Sir Hugh and Lady Den
nisOn. Brig. Gen. c. +. G. Charlton,

bassy, and Mrs. Gordon Cumming.
Mr.. Bruce prefaced his speech by vOic.

which the college youth looked on
the proceedings. But as some Of his
