T GROWERS
MEETING HERE
Various Diseases Discussed
Along With Problems of
Industry Generally
Sessions to Continue Today
Including Joint Meeting
With Horticulturists
The largest gathering of nut
(rowers In the 18 annual sessions
of the Western Nut Growers' as
sociation assembled at the cham
ber of commerce yesterday for the
two-day convention and study of
problems.
Chief among the educational
papers read, and one which pro
roked considerable discussion,
was that of "A Serious Trouble of
Walnuts' by the veteran grower,
Charles Trunk of Dundee. Trunk
discussed what will likely be
known as. Trunk's disease, because
he discovered it in Oregon, and
which first appears as a heavy
fold at the union of grafted black
and Franquette walnuts.
The disease is by no means pe
culiar to Trunk's orchard, where
It appeared six years ago on graft
ed trees planted in 1908, Trunk
declared. Several cited the diseas
es as being found in California
orchards, with attempt to suppress
knowledge of its presence. Trunk
explained cause of the disease,
which boiled down is lack of af
finity between the root stock and
the graft, and showed how he had
set about to remedy it. He advo
cates a soft shell root stock. ,
Production Economy
Is Deemed Essential 1
Another veteran grower, Fred
Groned of Hillsboro, talked on
observations in Europe and left
as bis chief message the thought
"We've got to lean to produce
things for less if we expect to keep
our place in world trade". i
Paul W. Miller of Corvallis told
of deductions to date from walnut
blight and its control, stating that
the period of heavy rainfall, which
for the last three years have run
between May 10 and Jttttef 0," is
the critical time for blight, and
the time which maximum protec
tion must be made.
Miller Bays bordeaux mixture Is
so far the best protection, provid
ed at least two sprays are given at
the proper times. Three sprays
are often used. His experiments
tend to show a 2-2-50 and 3-3-50
mixture Just as satisfactory as
stronger ones.
James W. Mott. state corporation
commissioner, gave the address
at the noon luncheon. The grow
ers were welcomed by Douglas
McKay, mayor-elect and president
of.the chamber of commerce; and
response was given by W. G.
Brown of Portland, president.
C. B. Schuster of Corvallis, sec
retary, discussed pollination of
nuts; and-C. W. Noble of Salem
told about pollination both In this
country and Europe.
One of the interesting sidelights
of the convention was a letter
from Colonel Cooper of McMlnn
ville, one of the pioneer walnut
producers In this section. Mr.
Cooper Is now 90 years old. He
aid his advanced age prevented
him from attending the conven
tion but his spirit was with the
nut growers.

C 1 BEH PLAYERS
PRODUCTION LIKED
"Ghost Bird" to be Given
Here Three More Nights
In Nelson Hall
By DON "VESTAL.
That Salem persons who enjoy
viewing good stage entertainment
need not travel far to see It was
demonstrated last night when the
local Chemeketa players ably pre
sented the mystery-comedy, "The
Ghost Bird," at Nelwon hall. An
appreciative audience followed the
young players through each act of
the four-act production without
losing interest due to those little
"slip-ups" which are usually so
common to amateur productions.
The setting is in an old-fashioned
house a few miles from
Broadway in New York City. The
plot is interestingly carried from
the time that Frederick Lehman
as Brad Buckhart, police detec
tive, la found murdered In his
room, until the handsome villain
is outwitted and apprehended by
Frank Torgerson as Tobias Tolll
ver, amateur detective-butler.
This talented young man kept the
audience in laughter by his antics.
The production will be given
three more nights this week to
night, Friday and Saturday. De
cember 13, the gToup will put on
the show In Dallas, before start
ing work on two productions to
be given during the month of Jan
uary. The complete cast Is composed
of Lillian Potter, Victor Williams,
Frank Torgerson, Mrs. Wynne
Grier, Harold Muhs, Greta Scho
fleld, Vernon Stohl, Frederick
Lehman, Bherleigh Knighton,
Maxine Pettyjohn, "Pat" Peter
son, Sammy DeLapp and Ervin
Potter. Direction is handled by
Perry Prescott Reigelman, with
B. J. Peterson as manager.

reach a maximum of 43 degrees.
At La Grande, snow flurries
fell in sub-freezing weather. The

degrees above.
Snow falling at Pendleton

McNary Drops Farm
Aid Bill in Senate
Hopper With Others
Equalization fee, Export Debenture Suggested
Again; Oregon Solon's Measure Eyed
As Most Likely to Succeed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (AP) The perennial farm relief
question began sprouting; in the senate today with the
introduction of half a dozen bills headed by a proposal that
the farm board be empowered to make effective the equaliza
tion fee, export debenture or domestic allotment plan if it
sees fit.
The measure was proposed by O--
Senator McNary, (R.Ore.) and re
ferred to the agriculture commit
tee, which he heads. Early and
favorable committee action was in
prospect.
How the democrats will regard
the proposal may develop from the
party conference called for tomor
row by Senator Robinson, of Ar
kansas, the democratic leader.
Robinson announced last week
a democratic measure on the farm
mortgage situation would emerge
around Christmas and another
party measure dealing with the
farm market problem would await
decisions at a conference of farm
organization leaders here this
week.
Senator Harrison, (D.Miss.) in

BACKS SUES TAX
Final Statement to Solons
Is Variously Received;
Idea not Popular
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (AP)
President Hoover told congress
today how he thought the budget
might best be balanced and the
nation restored to prosperity,
recommending a general sales tax
with wholesale governmental
economies and particularly em
phasizing reform of the banking
aws.
His proposal, submitted in his
last annual message to congress,
received a varied reaction among
the members, ranging from warm
praise to sharp criticism and In
difference. The senate put on its best man
ners to hear a reading clerk drone
out paragraph after paragraph of
the communication which, many
prohibition-minded members were
quick to note, made no reference
to legalizing and taxing beer.
The house paid little attention
as the message was read there.
The legislators milled about the
floor, conversing in low but audi
ble tones. At the end it received
scattered applause from the re
publican side.
A good many were Inclined to
look askance at the sales tax pro
posal which aroused a bitter fight
and eventually was defeated last
year.
A recommendation for a federal
payroll cut averaging 14.8 per
cent also was regarded as the
forerunner of a battle.

19 Taxpayers
To Discuss
In a spirit more of Inquiry than
of protest, 19 taxpayers attending
the Salem school district budget
meeting at the superintendent's
office yesterday afternoon, spent
two hours going over the budget
prepared by the Joint directors'
and citliens committee, question
ed a few of the items, then passed
the bndget unchanged.
This was the largest crowd to
attend a school taxpayers meet

Eugene at a chapel service hon
oring the completion by Dr.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (AP)
Aggressive plans to push a beer
bill through the house by Christ
mas were adopted today by demo
cratic leaders while their senate
colleagues moved to get prompt
action In that branch cn both pro
hibition repeal and Volstead law
modification.
By Its first legislative action of
the session, the senate sent to its
judiciary committee the Glass
resolution proposing repeal of
the 18th amendment and substi
tuting a ban against the saloon.
Senator Glass (D. Va.) Its au
thor, suggested the move, ex
plaining he had received "reas
onable assurance" the committee
would give "prompt attention" to
the measure and report on it.
Drafted to its last detail, the
democratic bill to legaliie beer
and light wines was introduced in
the house by Chairman Collier of
the powerful ways and means
committee. Hearing on the meas
ure, fixing the alcoholic content
of beer at J. 7 5 per cent by weight
and proposing a tax of $6 a bar
rel and 20 cents a gallon on wine,
will begin before the committee
tomorrow.

School Budget
by W. H. Henderson, voted to rec
ommend that the school board in
preparing the budget next year,
"make reasonable reductions in
teachers' salaries."
Chambers, Henderson and John
Hunt were the most persistent
questioners. Hunt objected to the
salary items and again protested
the district clerk's salary of
$1080. He said that in the bud
get committee sessions he had
sought to have this item reduced
bnt had been disregarded. J. B.
Protzman and W. C. Keck both
bespoke greater salary reductions.
"In regard to th whole bud
get, I don't believe any budget
should be considered that doesn't
have a 10 per cent cut as long as
salaries don't go below $100," de
clared Protzman. "The cost of liv

Mr. Keck asserted that the in
