Crop Rotation Is
Flax Worm Remedy
" The most practical "control yet
found , for the flax worm, which
has been doing serious damage
. in some fiber flax sections in
. Oregon, is a definite rotation
which " will bring : the flax crop
following a cultivated crop, ac
cording to investigation . made
. laal wam: tta t K a aaAA . y--WAl
. ment station.:- A ; special appro
priation for the study of this
: pest, was made by the last leg
islature. ,.l
: The insect is an introduced
pest from Europe, which in the
larva form, is the same worm
that has been found working on
strawberries in some sections. It
Is an omniverous feeder, willing
and able .to exist on. more than
. CO different kinds of plants, says
- t G. R. Ferguson, assistant ento
mologist at the station. He found
the worst damage where flax
follows a legume crop. The flax
-worm works on the growing tip
' of the plant, causting it to
branch, thus reducing its value
for fiber purposes.

Benton County Survey
CORVALLIS Small farms
suited to alfalfa growing in west
ern Oregon can well afford to
grow alfalfa and buy what grain
may be needed, says B. R. Jack

Census figures for Benton
county, for example, show that
wneat . produces about 10 6(
rounds of digestible teed ma

Growing Hog
Market Seen
US Bureau Forecasts More
Turnover in 1938 Than
in 1937 Period
WASHINGTON, March 19. -(Jf,
-The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics forecast today farmers
would market more hogs during
the remainder of the marketing
season, ending September 30,
than in the same 1937 period.
The bureau's monthly hog sit
uation summary said, however,
the larger marketing would be
offset to a considerable extent by
smaller storage stocks of pork
and lard.
, Less favorable consumer de
mand for hog products this spring
and summer than last was antici
pated. Steady Prices Seen 0
The bureau said a greater por
tion of the supplies would move
to market in the late spring and
summer. Hog prices were expect
ed to be more nearly normal In
the spring and summer than they
were last year with some weak
ness in the late spring and early
summer as marketings of fall pigs
increased.
After midsummer, the bureau
said, prices might advance some
what with the seasonal reduction
in market supplies but the rise
might be limited by "continued
weak consumer demand for
meats."
Week Disappoints
But Ends in Rise
Break in Europe Clouds
Apparent Reason for
Recovery Spurts
NEW YORK, March 19.-UP)-
Financial markets finished a gen
erally disappointing week with a
recovery push today, heartened
apparently by a break In Europe's
ominous war clouds.
At the best share gains ran to
4 or more points among favored
steels, motors, rubbers, gold
mines, alrcrafts, farm implements,
rails, mail orders and specialties.
Top marks were lowered a trifle
by profit selling near the close.
The Associated Press average
held a net advance of .7 of a
point at 40.9 against a drop yes
terday of 1.5 points. Transfers
totaled 442,070 shares compared
with 299,850 last Saturday. The
average on the week showed a
net loss of 1.4 points. The turn
over for the six days was the
largest for any similar period
since the latter part of January.

office. No applications will oe
received after that date.
New Tire Method
Used by Goodrich
Natural Stretch of Cord
Is Retained Through
Changed Process
A new method of building
pneumatic aires, made possible by
the ' recent perfection of a new
cotton tire cord, is the most rev
olutionary development in the
tire industry since the introduc
tion of the cord tire into the
United States in 1910, it is de
clared here by Walter H. Zosel.
manager of the Salem unit of
Goodrich Silvertown Stores, lo
cated at 198 South Commercial
street.
"During the older processes of
building tires with the ordinary
high-stretch cord, much of the
cord's stretch was lost, and dur
ing the life of the tire, still more
disappeared," said Mr. Zosel. This
not only brought great variation
in cord lengths, but the tire
itself increased in dimensions, or
'grew during service, creating
strains that often shortened its
useful life.
The new Hi-Flex cord, built
into a cord by an Improved meth
od, behaves in an entirely differ
ent manner. In this new process
of building tires, the so-called ar
tificial Btretch is removed from
the cord before it is coated with
rubber and built Into the tire.
This makes a cord of smaller
gauge, not because of less cotton,
but because it is more compact."
