By Joseph F. PritcharO.
Chloaco. Anril SO. (I. N. S.) The grain
markets all closed quiet snd "choppy" and ail
showed declines for the day. The May. wheat
future was off $8V4o. September was 7(B2c

September aad Hay, many milliona of the

There was little business done in cash wheat,
either hers or at the seaboard, although ad
vioea reoeirsd from there late told of noaaible
business on export acoount with the July

Cliicago. April 80. (U. P.) The wheat pit
opened with a strong undertone, prices being
slowly up. News was bearish, but no one
cared to sell and prices advanced. Later the
market broke, rrwing prices oown below
SHtiirday's close. May Wheat opened up Ido
later declining 2 cents to $2.74. July opened
up Sc. but lost 474c on tbe break, going to
$2.24 Vi. September opened up lc, later de
clining 3V4c to $1.S8H.
Corn was weak at the start. There was no
outxlile trade of consequence, and locals were
bearish, forcing a further decline. May
opened down '.c. later gaining c to $1.40;
July opened ttvn c, and lost lc, going to
$1.43i. September opened down lc, and de
clined an additions! i,e to $1.36.

all that could have been desired from a Bell
er's point of view at the opening of the week
General nog range:
old Weather Has
Fruit Men Scared
Hood River, Or.. April 30. The continued
ralirs and cold weather prevailing in the Hood
River valley are causing the orchardlsts and
strawberry growera eonsidersble concern. The
orchardlsts are unable to apply the successlye
spray dnrmg the rainy weather and many
have omitted the oil sprays this yesr on this
account. The scarcity of labor Is becoming
serious problem with the apple and berry
growers.
In some instances, the house wives and
grown daughters have assisted in the spray
ing process In order to make the application
during the proper stage of fruit bud and leaf
development. A number of tbe high school
students have contracted to do orchard work
aa soon as school is out at mens' wages, ana
some of ttie strawberry growers sre arrsng
ing to make a trip to Che several Indian res
ervations In order to secure hlep for the berry
season.
It is expected that pickers will demand
10 cents per carrier of 0 hallocks as against
snd 8 cents last season, packers will aax
20 cents per crate for packing as against 15
cents paid last year. The berry fields In th
lower valley are just beginning to bloom snd
it is six weeks before berry season begins.
The berry acreage is considerably larger than
last season, and it is expected that fully 100.
carloads will be shipped from Hood River this
year.
The Hood Hirer Honor Gaarda will engage
in gardening on a large scale. A large tract
of land bus been placed at their disposal near
tbe city and the girls will plant the tract to
potatoes and navy beans and care for the
growing and harvesting of the crop without
the aid or assistance of the men. The mem
bers of the guard are holding weekly meet
ings and training themselves ia many of the
practical arts. At the present time the young
ladles are receiving Instructions in the art of
running and caring for aa automobile,' and
competitive work - shows that the girls can
change a tire or mend a puncture Just as
speedily as the men.
