Flood waters took a further toll
Id today's stock market.
Realization that some of the
major steel companies, railways
and other industries may suffer
severe inundation damages
brought further moderate selling
In pivotal issues.
At the same time scattered
stocks of companies that may ben
efit by reconstruction activities in
the stricken areas were in de
mand. Transfers totaled only 840,486
shares, the smallest volume since
Dec. 14 last. The Associated

Tires as Needed
One of the biggest features of
the annual spring sale of the
' Goodrich Silvertown store, 198
South Commercial street, is the
noerai credit plan employed. Tnis
makes it possible for motorists of
Salem to purchase the things they
need for their automobile and
pay for them on a regular stated
budget basis, according to Walter
Zosel, store manager.
"No longer need the car own
er put off purchasing the equip
ment he needs for safe driving
because he does not have ready
cash available," Mr. Zosel says.
"Our budget department is set up
to enable motorists here to make
their purchases at once and pay
for their equapment in small
stated amounts while it is being
used."
Safety Emphasized
Safety .on the highways will be
the principal theme throughout
the spring- sale, Mr. Zosel says.
- Many special offers of items de
signed to make the car safe for
heavy summer driving are in
cluded in the sale.
"We feel oar budget plan is a
big contribution to the safety
campaigns now being conducted
throughout the country," Mr. Zo
sel declares. "It makes it possible
for a motorist to put his car in
safe condition at once, and then
pay for the material and service
in small installments.
"I believe motorists on the
"whole have been convinced that
periodical checkups of their auto
mobiles are vital to the safety of
themselves and their families."
Sugg
est Crimson
Qover, Pasture
What to do tor summer pas
tare crops on land that is ununit
ed to alfalfa and which cannot
be irrigated is a question con
fronting many western Oregon
farmers, who say that much of
their livestock is forced to sub
sist on rather meager summer
feed.
This situation may be taken
eare of. in part at least, by the
- planting of crimson clover in
April or early May, say members
of the farm crops department at
Oregon State college. This crop
will provide considerable summer
pasture and will usually live over
and make a substantial amount
of spring pasture or early green
feed. A seed crop may also be
obtained from this planting if It
baa not too seriously over-pas-
' tared during the preceding sum
mer. Sudan grass planted in May al
. so makes a good pasture in Ang
. nst and September, the farm
crops men sax. and is useful for
both livestock and poultry.

Farm Program's
Details Due Soon
State College Delegates
Expect Plans by
March 21
A workable program putting
into effect the soil conservation
and domestic allotment act will
be ready by Saturday, Marcb 21,
moulded out of the recommenda
tions of four regional conferences,
it national officials make the pro
gress they expect in coordinating
the various reports.
Such Is the word brought back
to Oregon by the state collexe
delegates to the Salt Lake con
ference where for three days rep
resentatives of western agricul
tur worked to formulate a pro
posed program adapted to western
conditions.
Producers were well represent
ed at the western conference and
delegates in general were free to
express opinions and promote
principles they wished to see em
bodied in the final working plans,
say the Oregon delegates.
Chief Interest at Salt Lake cen
tered around provisions applica
ble to livestock and grain farm
ing. Livestock men were fearful
of. the effect of converting large
acreage into grass and legume
crops which normally would be
used to increase livestock produc
tion. Recommendations of this com
mittee were that livestock men
should be safe-guarded In two
ways, first by having a positive
program to insure benefits to
range livestock men who reduce
cattle numbers on over-grazed
land or otherwise clearly conform
to the objectives of the soil con
servation act, and second by re
ducing benefit payments to farm
ers who use converted land to in
crease commercial production of
livestock or livestock products.
Export of Hops

Exports of hops from the Uni
ted States for the five months
period, September 1935, through
January. 1936, have totaled 4.

year totaled 1,625,501 pounds
and January expbrts 1.191,459
pounds, against 1.666.281 pounds
in December and l.07fiiti
pounds in January a year ago.
Imports of foreign hops into
the United States for the five
months period, September 1935,
through January. 1936. have to
taled 2,869,712 pounds compar
ed with imports of 2,625,988
pounds during the same months
a year earlier, or 34 3,724 pounds
more imported this year than a
year ago. December imports this
year totaled 854,625 pounds and

Leaf Spot Found
On Bulbous Iris
Iris leaf spot, a disease that de
foliated large plantings of bul
bous iris In 1934, has already
shown up In southern and central
Oregon and is expected to become
a serious problem again this year
throughout the western part of
the state, says Dr. Frank P. Mc
Whorter, plant pathologist at Ore
gon State college.
At the time it caused fceary
losses two years ago, no control
methods were known, but since
that time effectire spraying and
bulb treatment methods have been
worked out at the college. The
foliage requires special Bordeaux
sprays and the bulbs need to be
treated later
There are two kinds of fungus
that cause the trouble, and hence
there are really two diseases, al
though their difference is not
readily distinguishable. Different
bulb treatment Is neded for each,
hence Dr. McWhorter suggests
that growers noting the trouble
send samples in to the botany de
partment at O. S. C. for identifi
cation. Specific directions for,
combatting the disease are con-,
talned in a new circular ot infor
mation which will be sent free.
Bulbous iris production is now a
more than flOO.OOO industry In
Oregon.

wheat down a cent today to the

Indications of moisture likely to

were reported as more promising.
Something of an offset, however,
was firmness of -wheat quotations
at Winnipeg, where export sales
were estimated to total 500,000
bushels, not including further

Hop
Sales Noted
In Oregon Alone
Prices Range 7 to 9Vc to
Producer ;No Pressure
to Sell, Announced
Hop sales in coast states the
past week were confined to those
by Oregon growers alone, .with
370 bales of 1935 clusters selling
at prices ranging from 7 to 9'
cents per pound to producers. The
H cents was for prime to choice
hops. The market tone appeared
steady.
"Lack of selling pressure from
growers tended to offset-the' dull
market inquiry and current" offer
ings were only about equal to tb,e
light trade requirements", says
Market News Service of the Ore
gon market during the week.
There was no interest reported in
hops of older growths, though
moderate activity developed in the
contract market and a few three
year deals were reported closed at
12. 13 and 14 cents per pound,
net to the grower, for 1936. 1937
and 1938 crops, respectively.
Washington Quiet
Washington hop markets were
extremely quiet. Growers in the
Yakima valley area were reported
asking nine cents to ten cents for
best quality 1935 crop Clusters,
eight cents to nine cents for
primes and six to seven cents for
mediums, but dealers were not in
terested at these prices. One three
year term contract, covering 200
bales, at 14 cents per pound, net
grower, for 1936, 1937 and 1938
crops, was reported written in the
Yakima valley district daring the
week. Growers were not pressing
their remaining supplies of 1935
crop hops for sale.
California hop markets were in
active during the week ending
March 18, but despite lack of trad
ing, the general tone was fairly
steady since light inquiry from
both domestic and foreign buyers
was about offset by limited selling
pressure from growers. Moderate
quantities were available at
around present market levels, but
producers for the most part were
holding for higher prices. No in
terest was shown in hops of
growths previous to 1935 and
there were no further contracts
made for delivery of 1936 or later
crops. Sacramento valley growers
received indications that 12 cents
would be paid for 1936 hops, and
12 cents, 13 cents and 14 cents
for 1936 through 1938 crops, but
growers were mostly asking
around 1 cent per pound higher
or not interested in contracting at
the present time.
Field work was becoming ra
ther general in California undeV
farorable weather conditions, but
it was still too early to determine
acreage. Ability to make proper
financial arrangements and wea
ther eonditions will hare some
bearing on the extent of the Cal
ifornia yards worked this season.
At the close of the week, prime
hops were quoted in Sonoma coun
ty at 8-8 cents, while scattered
lots of better remaining qualities
were available in Mendocino coun
ty at 7-8 cents per pound. Sac
ram en to valley growers were ask
ing 8 cents or higher for prime
quality while small lots of medi
ums were available at around sev
en cents per pound, all net to
growers.
First of Berries
In From Florida
The first of strawberries im
ported from the -south may now
be seen for sale in Salem mar
kets. The earliest to arrive came
from Florida. ' Meanwhile, Wil
lamette valley growers were plan
ning their spring strawberry
yields.
A production of 2,015,000 24
quart crates of strawberries is ex
pected In the five early states
this year as compared with 1,
664,000 crates produced In 1935.
of wheih 1,592.000 crates were
harvested. This would Indicate an
increase of 21 per. cent oyer last
year's' total production and 27
per cent over that harvested.
States included In the survey are
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Texas.
This expected production Is
about one-fifth smaller, however,
than the average of 2,527.000
crates for the five-year period
1928 to 1932. There was an av
erage" of 2,317,000 crates har

Spring
Garden Tips
By A. G. B. Bouquet, O. S. C.
Hardening young plants . pre
paratory to transplanting them to
the garden is done gradually and
without submitting them to se
vere checks. " Withholding water
tends to harden a plant, but this
can be carried to excess. Too se
vere hardening may cause unde
sirable results as is the case with
cauliflower and celery that "bolt"
or produce a seed stalk prema
turely. . The earlier peasv. are sown in
the home garden , the better. An
early start enables the plants to
make a good foliage growth be
fore blossoming and making pods.
Warmer temperatures cause later
peas to reach maturity consider
ably faster than earlier sown seed.
Inducing blossoming; and pod
forming often before the plant It
self has fully developed. It is un
desirable to reply on one seeding
for One's entire erop. however.
Coast grown peas can be sown
well Into the early summer.
Lettuce, early cabbage, spinach.
peas, green onions, beets, carrots.
Swiss chard, sprouting broccoli,
radish and kohlrabi are semi-har
dy to hardy and can be started at
this time of the year. Onion seed

OnionIiipments
Seasonably Brisk
Price Now Low, Fdrecast
Is For More Acreage
In Other Areas
Although the onion market has
dropped to the low point of 55
and 60 cents per hundred, con
siderable volume of onions is
moving from the Lake La bis h
district, as the lateness of the
season has necessitated cleaning
up on last year' crop and start
ing in on the new.
Meanwhile, the onion situa
tion in California was studied
here as a forerunner of the fu
ture condition of the market.
From the southern state ft is re
ported that the intermediate crop
of set onions will probably show
an increase in the planted acre
age when a definite check can
be made. Growers planned an in
crease in practically all districts
and most of this acreage has
been set to the fields.
However, in the Stockton area
and along the Merced river in
Stanislaus and Merced counties
considerable of this acreage has
been under water and it is too
early to definitely say bow much
damage has been done to the
plantings. It Is quite probable
that some of this acreage may
be abandoned Tor other crops.
Some Acreage Lost
Some plantings have been
made in the islands and some of
this acreage went under water
and will not be replanted. How
ever, growers expect a small in
crease in the Stockton area when
planting, has been completed. An
acreage is expected in the coastal
districts of Monterey ,and Santa
Barbara counties but plantings
have not been completed as yet
in these areas. Late onions In
Los Angeles. Orange and River
s i d e counties are expected . to
equal last year's acreage, - with
an Increase in Riverside county,
and a lighter planting in the San
Fernando valley and Com p ton
sections of Los Angeles conaty.
The garlic acreage in Califor
nia has been set to the fields and
has come through the, wet weath- -
er in excellent shape. There is
anticipated, about a 400 acre in
crease in the planting this year,
which should bring the total 4
acreage near. 2.200 acres for the
state. Fields are too wet to cul- '
tivate and there is considerable
weed growth in most of the
plantings, bat growers should be
able to get Into their field with-
out delay.
