The OREGON STATESMAN, Sakm. Oregon, Sandaj Morning March 29, 1936 Extensive Fe in Agriciiltiiire Recorded by Statesman PAGE FOURTEEN Prog r I V ) Recent Trend Aids Farmers Economic Study Featured During Past Winter; Changes Recorded - In the 85 years that The States- man has been published , in Ore gon, farming conditions hare changed and improved greatly. The early influx of pioneers into the Willamette valley, attracted by the ideal location of this re gion as a farming and marketing ctnter, was but the beginning of . a great agricultural era. Among the leading . develop ments of the past winter were the agricultural economic conferences held in various counties of the Willamette valley. Here farmers gathered to discuss common prob lems and to consider the outlook for the future. The one held in Marion county last January was -a. notable example of the success of such an enterprise. Flax, a product raised by WH lamette valley tarmers in pioneer days; has again come to the front it i product that farmers may " raise profitably. The establish ment of the Mt. Angel cooperative plant has- assured farmers of that district of ah adequate market for their product. . Farming Simple Then In the frontier days, it was not an uncommon thing for a valley farmer to load the wheat he had grown during a season of diffi cult hand labor onto his wagon and transport it over roads that were little better than trails to the grist mills at Oregon City, where The' Statesman was first founded, where it was ground into flour. Later developments brought a number of mills to Salem, not able of which were the woolen mills, which have ever been an active center for marketing Wil lamette valley wools. The Wil . lamette valley continues to pro dace a high grade of wool, which commands a favorable price in comparison with lower quality grades. Present prices are firm. The outlook in the livestock in dustry generally is good. . The lighter winters of the valley, as contrasted to eastern Oregon and the mid-west states, as has notice ably been shown during the past year, have made raising livestock a much easier task here than elsewhere. Although cattle feed ing was necessary in the valley during the coldest weeks and in brief periods of snow, and while the winter, even herehas been harder than usual this past sea son, the hardships were not near ly as great as in other livestock raising regions where cold snaps took great tolls. Transportation Problem The development of agriculture In the Willamette valley and throughout Oregon was closely related to the accessibility of mar kets. The real agricultural growth of the state dates from the open ing of ample transcontinental fa cilities for railroad transportation. With railroads connecting with the east, the west found that it could transport agriculture freight in the bulk to eastern markets, thus being able to compete with . the farms of the prairie states. By 1900. Oregon had 35,837 farms averaging 381 acres apiece, and Washington had 33,202 farms, while 10 years later, the tal number of holdingsin the .to states had risen to 101,694. By 1930. Oregon had increased Its number of farms to 5 5,1 S3. Oregon's farm acreage had in creased from 11,685,119 in 1910 to U.548,678 acres, land in farms, in 1930. .The Willamette valley farms have the fundamental advantages f living represented by the mod ern home, with its water and gar den j Irrigation, schools equal to those of the towns, clubs, lodges. churches, convenient stores, and nearby recreation centers.

Wage Offer Accepted PORTLAND, Ore., March 18.- (JP)-N. C. Lindey, president of the Portland Sawmill and Timber Workers' union, announced today 2,000 employes voted approxi mately 10 to 1 to accept employ ers compromise wage increases ranging from 5 to IS per cent, ef fective April 1 er; Chang e Sudden Minneapolis Market Gets Limelight; Reverses Recent Direction CHICAGO. March 2$-iJPyStee- tacular action of the Minneapolis market In Jumping 2 cents a bushel ' from a season low price record today dominated -the en tire wheat trade. Traders here kept sharp watch of the course of values at Minne apolis that suddenly reversed the trend of the last few days there, and were inclined to see as a rea son an outlook that imports of Canadian wheat into the United States have been definitely check ed by recent severe downturns of Minneapolis cash quotations. Prospects pointed to alternate freezing and thawing weather in Kansas and Nebraska conditions especially difficult for wheat crop welfare. Wheat in Chicago closed firm at about the day's top, -? over yesterday's finish. May 96 -, July V', corn also up. May B9 74-60. oats' Vi-S advanc ed, and provisions varying from 2 cents decline to 5 cents gain. Minneapolis reports indicated buying for mill account had taken the slack out of that market, and that a covering movement on the part of previous short sellers en sued. Better shipping demand for corn helped to strengthen corn and oats. Provisions averaged somewhat higher because of back-spreading between lard and corn. Growers Holding Wool; Sales Few A quiet tone In the Willamette valley wool market Is suggested by the fact that growers are hold ing their wool and that dealers are not particularly anxious for wool at the present prices. Deal ers are reported to be anticlpat- I ing a drop in prices. Kay Woolen Mills continue to pay 31 cents for valley wools at the mill. Contracts continue to be made at 30 cents per pound by valley buyers, but there Is lit tle activity in this phase of mar keting. Reports coming from eastern Oregon and Washington indicate that some mills have called 'in their buyers, indicative of the present quietness in the industry. Kanch clips that sold in a small way for around 31 to 33 cents per pound in Southern Idaho a few weeks ago are now receiving only 30 cents per pound. Some wool is being offered out of cen tral Oregon at 28 cents per pound. The prevailing price considered for future sales is around 22 and 23 cents per pound for fine and 26 and 27 cents for crossbreds. General Markets PRODUCE EICHAJfOE PORTLAND.

The slimy slug or snail, early garden pest, is repelled from plants that are lightly covered with copper-lime dust or dry Bor deaux. The poison bran mash used for controlling cut-worms is also useful in killing slugs. Dr. Don C. Mote of the Oregon Experiment station advises, also a poison bait consisting of 16 parts by weight of finely chopped waste lettuce leaves and one ounce of calcium arsenate. This is spread about the area to be protected and along the border of the garden where slags may be hiding and from which they come out at night to feed. e e Complete commercial fertilizers for a gardener are sold under var ious trade or brand names. While these are useful in identifying the source of the material, the grower should observe chiefly the analysis as shown on the tag on the sack. The relative percentage of nitro gen, phosphorus and potash, such as 3:10:7 or 4:12:4 is important according to the crop or soil on which it is used. A circular on "Fertilizers for Vegetable Crops" is available at all county agents' offices. o Sulfate of ammonia is not only a good vegetable fertilizer to help stimulate the growth of early gar den vegetables but it is also use ful in killing moss on lawns. Sprinkle lightly, taking care that the moss is completely covered with the fertilizer. In a very short time, especially if the ap plication is made during a shower, the moss will have turned brown and the grass will be showing a decidedly invigorated growth and dark green color. Sometimes sul fate of ammonia is used in a stan dard solution of one ounce (full tablespoonful) to one gallon of water and as such has a stimulat ing effect on young plants or in fact any plants -to which it is ap plied.

The filing of the demur rers will mean that some time may elapse before any further pleas are entered and the cases go to trial. A demurrer was filed to each of the indictments against Frank A. Minto, chief of police. These demurrers allege that the indict ments do not substantially con form to the requirements of the statute on which the indictment was based; that the indictment is not direct and certain as to the particular circumstances ol the crime charged; that the act or omission charged as a crime is not clearly and distinctly set forth; that the indictment is void for indeflnlteness and uncertain ty; that it charges the alleged crime in more than one form; that more man one crime is cnarged in the indictment and that the facts stated do not constitute a crime. Indictments covered by the de murrers are for alleged condon ing of gambling and malfeasance in office. Ask Another Jude John H. Carson, attorney for Minto. declared that his cases would not be tried before Judge McMahan. Custer Ross, attorney for the other defendants, has not decided what action he will take. The attorneys may either file af fidavits of prejudice or the eourt may retire voluntarily from the trial of the cases.. Demurrers to three indictments against Orey G. Coffey, city detec tive, all follow a similar form, al leging that more than one crime is charged In the indictment; that the facts stated do not constitute a crime; that it contains matter which if true would constitute a legal justification and excuse of the crime charged. Demurrers in the so-called slot machine cases also all follow, a single form charging that the in dictment does not substantially conform to the requirements of the statute; that more than one crime is charged in the indict ment. Demurrers to the gambling in dictments allege that the Indict ment does not conform substan tially to the requirements of the statute; that more than one crime is charged in tk indictment and that the facts stated do not con stitute a crime.
