High UI1 rLIIUlUil OIIHUI To Allot Fund to Aged on Ba sis of Need; Number of Applications Reduced Members of the Marion county court plan to confer the latter part of this week on this coun ty's methods of alloting old-age pensions, using information thus far obtained in taking applica tions, as a basis for formulation of a general policy on "pension payments. With applications from persons whose name begins with "N" to be received today, the court be lieves nearly one-half of the pen sioners have now made request for pensions. The bulk of these applications have been personally investigated by deputies of the court. Approximately 230 applica tions were on file last night. The court's method of allotting the pensions will be first to de termine the approximate total of eligible pensioners. These will then be divided into various groups such as applicants with out anyone in their immediate family, applicants who are mar ried, applicants who have partial means of support and similar groupings. Using $60,000 as the base of moneys available for pen sions in 1934 and setting aside certain sums for medical care and emergencies, the court expects to make an allocation chart, grad ing the money allowed on the basis of need. In other counties In the state pensions will range from $8 to $25 a month. Applications now on hand with the court are materially less than the number of persons who have sought pensions. The reason this is true is that applications are not being filled out from persons who quite obviously are not entitled to pensions through lack of resi dence requirements, through fin ancial help possible from relatives or other causes. Ia many coun ties applications are taken from any person over 70 who seeks a pension. The court here thl ks it useless to encumber the records with applications which have no chance of being accepted. One factor which has cut down the number of pension applica tions is the - detailed financial statement required from nearest relatives. Under Oregon laws, any children, except married daugh ters, brothers or sisters, are le gally bound to support the pen sion applicants, if 'their condition makes it possible. The court has not set any arbitrary financial test on the ability of a relative to support an old person but it will insist that relatives do all their circumstances permit to sup port those over 70 years old in candidate for precinct committee man for the democratic party in the county. He will seek election In the East Woodburn precinct. Disorderliness Charged "Bud dy" Hagen was booked at city po lice headquarters yesterday on a charge of being drunk and dis orderly.

County Agent Has Manifold Duties Says Polk Agent A county agent's work may ex tend from helping a widower pick a new wife to advising a farmers' group how to form a cooperative association, J. R.

DID HIE CROP ABOUT 111 SOLD January closed with virtually all the 1933 dried prune crop in the northwest sold out, and a strong demand from both domes tic and foreign markets for - the few remaining holdings, W. T. Jenks of the Willamette Valley Prune association stated yester day. The market has , taken a slight advance In the last two weeks, as reflected in Offers t growers of five cents per pound for sizes running even larger than 45s. ,. ii i "The prune deal faces better prospects for 1934 thin for a number of years past, because of the unusually early sale ot the 1933 crop", Mr. Jenks said. With the last crop moving out so soon, it should be pretty well consumed by the time the 1934 crop reaches the market, hence, id part, the optimism for the com ing season, he explained. "Growers should bear this in mind and should mat every ef fort to get their orchards in shape to harvest a full crop ot prunes this fall", Mr. Jenks stated. The market for Oregon prunes has also shown considerable ex pansion the selling season now ending, due largely to new mar kets.

It is said only two small lots ot prunes are still in growers' hands, both these being heid at Roseburg.
