NEW YORK, April 25.
Gains of 1 to 3 points in the

ket a bright spot today.
The remainder of the list lack

Issues and finished generally with
advances of only fractions to a
point or so.
Measured by the Associated
Press average of (0 stocks the
market was up .4 of a point , to

370 shares for the two-hour ses
sion. France Watched
Influences on sentiment were
the continued uneasiness over to
morrow's French elections and,
In the background, the continued
flow of favorable business news.
The decision of the New York
stock extltnge to ease margin
requirements, announced after
the close of the market on Fri
day, was seen in brokerage cir
cles as abating fears that sell
lng would develop on May 1,
from customers unable to com

stood.
Williams to Be
Elected, Belief
. . In 'the opinion of Charles F.
Bollinger of Clatskanle. Ralph E.
Williams will be reelected repub
lican national committeeman.
Bollinger went through Salem
this weekend on his way from a
tour around the state in the in
terests of Williams' candidacy.
Bollinger said the fact that Wil
liams had held the position for
28 years, 12 of which he served
as vice-chairman of the national
organizations, made party lead
era believe he should be contin
ued In the post.
Young republicans in the state,
beaded by Stewart Weiss of Port
land, are leading the Williams
campaign. Bollinger said Wil
liams decided to run when a Peti
tion bearing 6000 republican sig
natures was presented to Williams
at Cleveland, urging that he make
the race. Williams has charge of
preparations for the national con
vention. Wool Demand Off

19 Per Cent Larger With
115,762 Bales Left in
Three States
Supplies of hops of all types
held by growers In the three Pa
cific coast states at the begin
ning of field work, concurrent
with the advent of spring-like,
warm weather, were around 19
per cent larger than a year ago,
the hop market news service of
the United States bureau of ag
ricultural economics has report
ed. Trade estimates Indicated that
growers in Washington, Oregon
and California were holding ap
proximately 115.762 bales of hops
of all growths, as compared with
96,997 bales last season and 65,
763 bales two years ago. Of this
season's stocks. approximately
45,683 bales were in Oregon, 49,
980 bales in California, and 20,
099 bales in Washington, March
1. 1935. An important feature
of this season's stocks is the rela
tively small- proportion from the
current season's crop. Supplies of
1935 hops held by growers March
1 this year totaled only 36,978
bales, against 56,746 bales of
1934 hops a year ago and 55,501
bales of the 1933 crop In grow
ers' hands March 1. 1934.
Price Was Ijower
Prices of domestic hops at the
opening of the season early in
September ranged from around
10 cents to 12 cents per pound,
net to growers, as compared with
opening prices of around 18 cents
to 20 cents per pound for the
1934 crop, and around 40 cents
per pound for the 1935 crop.
Prices this year declined slightly
early in the season but in recent
weeks have held fairly steady at
around nine cents per pound, ret
to growers, for 1935 crop top
quality Oregon clusters.
Trade advices indicated that a
considerable proportion of the
1935 hop crops was covered by
term contracts, most of which net
ted growers higher prices than
those prevailing in the spot mar
ket, as wes the situation during
the previous year. Deliveries on
these contracts tended to restrict
activity in the spot market. The
qualiy of the 1935 crop in the
coast states was reported as be
ing generally lower than the 193 4
" Production Higher
World hop production in 1935
was sharply higher than In the
preceding five years and totaled
129,105.000 pounds as compared
with 119.093,000 a year earlier
and 136,666,000 pounds for the
average for the 1926-1930 sea
sons. Production in the four
largest producing counties totaled
109,263,000 pounds of somewhat
more than the average for the pe
riod 1926-30. -The United States
harvest was the largest in the
past 19 years. The English crop
was below that of 1934 but great
er than that of the three years
preceding.
Czechoslovakia suffered inclem
ent weather which was unfavor
able to the growth and develop
ment of the hop crop, but the
harvest was about the same as In
the preceding' year. Favorable
weataef conditions in Germany
Increased yields substantially and
the outturn was one of the best in
recent years. In England the cold,
wet spring delayed flowering but
warm, sunny weather during
July benefited crops materially.
Debate on Party

tive secretary for the state demo
cratic organization, will speak, in

Consideration For
Wild Birds Urged
Farmer Who Leaves Hay to
Feed Them Will Be
Well Repaid
"As haying time approaches,
consider the wild life, and It will
eventually more than repay those
who take the extra care," urge3
Arthur S. Einarsen, federal re
search man in this field located
at Oregon State college.
In the back swathe around the
fence rows will be found the ma
jority of quail nests, In many lo
calities, Einarsen points out. If
the crop Is particularly yaluable.
of course no one would expect a
farmer to leave it for the wild
birds, but If it has been already
tramped so that but little could be
recovered, leaving it would pro
vide an excellent winter food sup
ply for game birds, he says. If it
is going to be cut. leaving It until
the last will give the birds a
chance to move to a safer haven.
Quail Kill Thistles
"The farmer who has a lot of
quail on his property will need to
worry less about thistles," says
Einarsen. "All species of quail
relish thistle seeds very much and
ea. enough to repay the farmer
for his kindly interest In their
welfare."
Most of the plans for direct
compensation to farmers for hunt
ing privileges are In the forma
tive stage, but the man who coop
erates in increasing the wild life
on his farm may confidently ex
pect in the future to receive at
least a portion of his tax money
from this source, without needing
to change basic farming practices,
Einarsen believes.

wheat price downturns today.
A low barometer In the south
west cast its shadow orer the
wheat market, and values slid

thority reported that although a
large percentage of Kansas, Ne

acreage is losing color rapidly,
potential recovery promises to ex

rains come as early as a year
ago, around May 10.

Sceneta Beetles
Found Prevalent
The Sceneta bettle Is very prev
alent in cherry orchards, reports"
G. W. Byers, field man for Glle
Jenks company, fruit packers.
Byers has made inspection of
trees iu the Salem vicinity and
finds beetle broods hatching now.
It Is, he says, Tery important for
growers to start their cherry dust
ing now to prevent damage from
the beetle. A combination of lead
arsenate, lime and sulphur is used.
The Sceneta beetle injury is not
observed until about ripening time
when the skin of the cherry puck
ers on one side from the beetle
sting. Sometimes the loss runs 40
to 60 per cent. Byers also report
ed some cherry blight showing.

Industry to Use Waste; of
Lumber, and Fruits,
Weigand Says
Oregon Is already doing eonaid-.
erahlo work and is in a posit on
to reap large benefits from the
Stion-wld interest in finding
morTlMastrial uses for farm pro
ducts, says E. H. Weigand head
of the wof k in horticultural pro
ducts at-toregon State college,
professor . Weigand recently at
tended the second annual meet
ing of the Farm Chemurgic Coun
cil and Chemical Foundation.
Applied science through the na
tion's laboratories 1s opening up
some amazing vistas into the
probable future use of common
farm products. Among the pos
sibilities pointed out at the west
ern conference was the develop
ment of a powerful soil pene
trating fertilizer made out of
phosphate and waste sugar: the
use of Immense wastes from
Douglas fir timber in the produc
tion of sugar, alcohol, acetic acid.
transparent papr u 'j-i-"-plastics;
the nse of sage brush in
the manufacture of esential oils,
and the use of avocados for the
manufacture of salad oils, new
explosives and stock feed.
Use for Cherry Pita
As Oregon's only representative
at the council meeting. Professor
Weigand was ailed upon, to tell
of the work going on in this state
and research that could be under-
taken in this field. More than
three million pounds of cherry
pits are available annually as a
by-product -of- the new cherry .
processing 'industry in this state,
Weigand pointed out. The use of
these and cherry stems in the pnA'
duction of flavors, oils and the
like holds important possibilities.
Already Europe is buying up tons
of drjed cherry stems, although
the use being made of them is
obscure.
Tons of prune Pits are also
available as a potential source of
flavors, charcoal and oils. Pro
fessor Weigand pointed out also
the possibilities of the use of by
products In the pear and apple
industries for the production of
various forms of Juice, pectin,
chemicals, fertilizers and live
stock feedstuffs.
In the field of new or substitute
crops for present surplus produc
ing enterprises, Profesor Weigand
pointe1 out the future possibili
ties in the growth of Jerusalem
artichokes and nossiblv dahlia
tubers for the manufacture of le-
vulose sugar or alcohol. Much
work has already been done with
the artichoke, which will produce
15 to 22 tons to the acre on many
types of Oregon soils. Possibili
ties with flax and a newly intro
duced drug crop, pyrethrum, were
also pointed out.
