The growers will receive their pay when the berries are sold as they have done in former years. Picking money is not being ad vanced this year.

(AP)- Little change la reflected la the market for dairy products. The decreasing supply of butter is making Itself felt in the local trade bnt operators generally have been adverse to quoting an advance thronglr fear of cortall ing the demand. Prices appear steady for prints and cubes on the open market with demand at least normal. Movement Into storage con tinues, some of it being forced by local centralizers who cling to the opinion that the market Is going to do somewhat better within the next few months. Butterfat is hoi dine steady. Market for eggs continues to reflect weakness with more of less shading of prices in the home territory. Outside interests are said to be offering egjrs free ly below the local price stand ards. Further lowering of rhlekn prices is shown in spots. Lipht hens and broilers are showing a reduction of lc lb. arain in some auartws with little rail for the former at any price. Extreme low price on dressed tnrkeys has created an extraor dinary unseasonable demand here. Turkeys are being quoted at less than other fowls, therefore ap near the cheapest meat on the market. Weather conditions have been airalnst melon prices her and reductions in both cantaloupes and watermelons are announced. Better quality cant's Is report ing in late arrivals. Prices continue weak In the strawberry market here with re ceipts liberal and demand a trifle soggy. With Gold Dollars decreas ing, there is more demand In that line. Market for country killed calves is in a bad way here with the supply liberal and the outfto very slow. Prices are weak to lower and especially so for the heavyweight sorts. Dressed lamb market is re norted weaker aealn although no eeneral cutting of prices is re ported. Hot. ever 8c now appears the treneral top with heavy stuff mostly 7c for best. Hogs are steady. in III IK FOR SOIL Surveys Reveal Need Here; Red Hills Especially Need This Help Increased Interest' In liming western Oregon soils Is indicated by more requests for toil tests at the Oregon Experiment station, aad provision of more sources of agricultural lime by state and private Interests. "Soil surveys and chemical an alyses covering the Willamette valley, backed by IS years of plat records -show conclusively that the red hill soils are distinctly add and in need of lime, and that limiag will pay its way on older cropped soils of the main valley floor " says Dr. W. L. Powers, chief in soils at the experiment station. Coast regions are now using lime in ever Increasing quantities as it has been shown to be the key to continued production of legumes so necessary in the crop ping system needed to support the great coast dairy Industry. At Marshfield efforts are being made to recover agricultural lime from sea shell deposits. "Liming at the experiment ata- i tion has increased the activity of beneficial soil bacteria concerned in the formation of nitrates need ed by plants," Dr. Powers contin ues. "It has improved the struc ture of heavy soil, increased the nutrient value of crops where used. Increased the drouth resist ance of the soil and aided in im proving the water capacity. Esti mates based on tests at 'the sta tion are that a half million tons of lime a year could be used to maintain favorable soil reaction in western Oregon." t WHAT'S IN CTORE FOR POPEYE? f " VJ ' MASTER TOYtxA -: " v But to mc its J JflTJTj Oti cXCCOONT Uf :ffialf5, OF I KIH NOT J-lei Inga Goplerud's Name Engraved on Scholarship Award SILVERTON, June 9 Miss In ga Goplerud, a senior at the Uni versity of Oregon, won the honor of having her name engraved on the Zeta Tau Alpha cup of schol arship this year.
