Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. MAY. 24, 1918. 21 WOOL IS PILING UP Supplies of New Northwestern Clip Accumulate. DEALERS MARKING TIME Terms and Prices for Allotment to Spinners and Weavers (or Cse on Federal Contract Announced by Boston Distributor. Tha wool trade of Portland Is waiting for word from Washington as to the final de tails of the Government's plans, and pending such news the dealers can do nothing but mark time. It was thought that by this date Wool Administrator C. J. Nichols would have appointed a. wool valuation commit tee for this city, as It is the announced In tention of the authorities to get the new dip moving as soon as possible. At other points allotment officials have already been named, and wool Is being dis tributed to the mills; but here the new clip Is piling up steadily, and with the old wool till on hand, some difficulty may be ex perienced In moving It quickly w hen the order cornea Wool men here would like to ' see a start made, as wool shearing Is go ing to be a long drawn-out affair, because ef the backwardness of the season and the labor shortage, and much stock Is likely to be on hand when the time comes to move , ins grain crop. Terms and prices for the allotment of raw wool to topmakers. spinners and weav ers for use on Government contracts have been announced by Ernest W. Brig ham, of Boston, wool distributor. Application must be made to him for any lot of wool sought and the material is billed net 60 days. Prices on SSs quality and lower are July 30 prices, plus 7 per cent; on wools grading finer than 58s flat July 80 prices. The Government's statement as to terms and conditions Is as follows: "The Issue prices of wool for Government contracts are based on the valuation com mittee's description and estimate of shrink age of each lot. The Government does not guarantee the estimated shrinkages of the valuation committees, but believes them to be approximately correct. Samples of each lot will be shown at the office of the wool distributer and are intended to fairly repre sent the bulk lot, but are not guaranteed to do so. They are exhibited for the conve- nience of manufacturers interested. Exam ination in bulk may be made if desired." In addition to this statement, there is pre pared a full schedule of prices on a scoured basis of a wide range of descriptions ef foreign and domestic A few of these follow; Uomeatlc half blood staple ..$1.75 ' lJomesUc quarter blood staple 1.40 I ifxaa cnoice, iz montns i.sui Texas choice, 8 months .....,... 1.60 Calltornia. choice. 8 months 1.55 t-ouil.

No Government Fe for Product In Near Future. The announcement that the Government will not 'make use of mohair has caused local dealers to lose Interest In this article for the time being, but some use will un doubtedly be found for the product, though It Is not likely to sell at as high a price as the growers would wish. Forty-five cents Is still the local quotation, but It Is entirely a nominal one. The market at Boston Is also quiet, according to the Commercial Bulletin, which says: "Business in mohair locally has been of very modest proportions this week. Spring hair Is coming forward to a moderate ex tent on consignment but no sales appear to have been eifectel as yet for forward de livery "The mohair spinners are devoting con elder able of their machinery to the spinning f Government wool ,yarns and so are there fore unable to use that same machinery for spinal ig mohair yarns and, consequent- HEAVT, FAT HENS WASTED!

EXCESS ALREADY MILLED Northwestern Plants Save Ground 110 Per Cent and Must Provide Wheat for Middle Western Concerns That Are Short. Floor mills In this sons are notified that they will be granted no extension of grind and when they have used up their wheat allotment they must close down. Several of the larger plants have already ceased op erations and others are about ready to quit. Considerable wheat remains in the North west and it was hoped by millers that the Administration would permit them to in crease their milling. Some time ago they were allowed a 10 per cent extension, and the milling division evidently thinks this 110 per cent allotment Is sufficient, par ticularly as mills in the Middle West were allowed only 90 per cent, and many could not get enough wheat for even that grind. The surplus that Is left In this section of the country wilt, therefore, be shipped East te mills that need it, and any carryover that the Northwestern mills have on hand will also . go. Bulletins Issued yesterday by J. W. Gsnong, divisional chairman of the Food Administration, milling division, follow: "Mills are now advised that they cannot be allowed an additional grind over and above their present allotment, and will not be permitted to hold wheat on hand June 80 for next season's grind. 0 "Please be advised that all shipments of flour routed to the Pacific Coast are to be mark sd with a large letter 'F In red. This car. be done by stenciling the letter on the sack, or hav.ng same printed on your new sacks by the bag company. "This Is to advise that our bulletin No. 84 is withdrawn, and mills are permitted to resume shipment into zone 9 without per mission from the secretary of the sone com m It tee. but must strictly observe the 70 per cent restriction clause, and also the 30-day supply rule, otherwise flour will be subject to seizure.

Ballt. QREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Trash ington. May 23. Instead of appropriat ing $6,000,000 to finance lectures on ed ucatlonal and demonstration methods of Improving; agriculture and spending: over a million more on tick eradication. Representative Slnnott today 'urged the Hquse of Representatives to devote this 17,000.000 to the building of Irrigation projects, through which means crop production can be certainly and enor mously increased. The country today, he said, needs more crops and wants to be sure of getting them. He showed that last year a million acres of land on Govern ment irrigation projects produced $50.- 000,000 worth of food crops, or 130 per acre more than the general average for the entire country. The amount the House proposes to spend on lectures, if spent In reclaim lng arid lands would result In increas ing the Wneat crop 3,000,000 to 5,000.000 bushels a year, or one-twentieth the amount we exported during the past year to the allies. Mr. Slnnott cited projects In Oresron alone on which this money could prof itably be expended at this tlms and some of which crops could ba raised in abundance next season if work started immediately. He appealed for the Sut- tle Lake project in Jefferson County and the Warm Springs project, the two together being capable of. producing more than a million bushels of wheat by next year.- The Owyhee, completed, could pro duce a million and a half bushels, and the north unit project in Jefferson County, embracing 100,000 acres, could be made, within two years, to produce 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 of wheat or its equivalent. All these projects, he said, could be built and completed with the money which the House proposes to s. end on educational and demonstration lectures, and for tick-eradication. ' Speaking generally, Mr. Einnott urged a liberal appropriation for expanding reclamation, work. There are 17,000.000 acres in the West, he said, which can be reclaimed, and If reclaimed during the war, (his empire, or a part of It. can be made ready to . receive the-eol-dlers when they return from the battle fields. On this theory alone he argued Congress would be Justified in appro priating liberally for new Irrigation work. Phone your want ads to The Orego nian, Main 7070, A 6u95. LAST PRICES BEST Stocks.
