The pace was "bIow com pared with the preceding Satur day, transfers totaling 603,850 .against 1,383,370 when prices were under pressure. Local Poultrymen Aid big Congress Martin Honorary Head of Oregon's Committee, 1939 Meeting Oregon poultrymen! are plan ning to have a prominent place in the 1939 world's poultry congress in Cleveland, judging from pre liminary plans made recently by the Oregon state world's poultry congress committee. Poultrymen and agricultural leaders from every section of the state are included in the eight state committees which have been appointed to prepare for Oregon's participation. . No other agricultural industry has such a complete world-wide organization as the poultry Indus try. Bays Fred H. Cockell of Mil waukee, active chairman of the Oregon committee.-- Held every three years, the congress is truly a world's fair of the poultry in dustry. It. is expected that ap proximately' 70 nations will par- ticipate.in the Cleveland congress. Every State to Exhibit Sponsored by the World Poul try, Science association, the con gress is also a clearing bouse for exchange of latest scientific de velopments in the industry. Ev ery state in the union is planning an exhibit at the congress with between 30 and 40 acres of floor space to be devoted to these edu cational exhibits. Governor Martin Is honorary chairman of the Oregon commit tee and Cockell is active chair man. Eight active state committees Include the following men from this section of the valley: Lloyd A. Lee, membership and public ity;. Earl Cooley, chairman youth committee; J. D. Mickle, exhibit; A. L. Lindbeck, publicity; Solon T. White, exhibit and entertain ment, all of Salem; Henry Domes, Rickreall; Herman Coyle. St. Paul; and Morris - Christensen, McCoy. Turkey Increase, Spi ud Decreases, Forecast of OSC A larger turey i crop but a moderate decrease in potato pro duction seem probable in 1938, according to a report on the ag ricultural situation and outlook report Just released by the Ore gon State college extension serv ice. Turkey growers fzre con siderably better for their 1937 production than the ye r prev ious. The- relatively low cost of feeds is another factor tending to stimulate Interest in turkeys. especially eastward of the Pa cific coast states. Late potato growers are ex pected to reduce plantings about cne pet cent, but the acreape in 193? was moderate. The large - crop last 'year was due to . high y ield s per acre, rather than to excessive potato acreage. Both acreage and yields, in 1TZ are uncertain, of coarse, althongh it appears probable that production will not be as great as In 1937. The report also gives valuable data, on the current farm price. demand and farm c ts titua lion. After starting the year 193S ' with prices . received by farmers down about-one-fifth be low the 1937 average level, re rent weeks have seen a' further decline of nearly 5 per cent. De mand -conditions are sharply weaker than a year ago owing to reduced employment and gen eral economic conditions." Farm costs remain relatively high, giv ing farm products a depreciated purchasing power of oi ly 77 per cent of the pre war average. April 2 . STOCK A VX SAGES fCaaiDilrd far Ih- Aaaortated Pre sal .

The bearish implications of the crop forecast issued by James E. Bennett and company more than offset as a market influence con flicting statements regarding the probable damage, if any, inflicted on growing wheat In the south west by frost and freezing tem peratures. The Bennett prediction of 754,540,000 bushels was larger than any recent private forecast " reauzea, meant me largest winter wheat production since the record breaking harvest of 820,- 000,000 bushels in 1931. The 19.37 harvest totaled 685,000:000. This week another private expert issued a forecast suggesting a crop of 92,000,000. At the close wheat was 1-1 below yesterday's finish.

M. Purves, general sales manager for the Dodge division of Chrysler corporation, in a wire to the Her-rall-Owens company, Dodge-Plymouth dealer here. During this six day period, Dodge dealers new ve hicle deliveries showed an in crease of 19 percent over deliver ies recorded for the preceding week. Deliveries of used vehicles, in the same report week, reached a total of 11,985. This figure ap pears very gratifying because it continues the accelerated pace taken by used vehicle sales of Dodge dealers during national used car week, Mjarch 7-12. In commencing on the situa tion, Mr. PurvesLalso calls atten tion to the steadily rising rate at which the company's dealers are transmitting immediate shipment orders for new cars and trucks. Such orders, received during the week ending March 26, exceeded the preceding week's orders by 42 percent. All of which, Mr. Purves ex plains, makes a reassuring picture of Dodge dealers bestirring them selves, and of increasing numbers of motorists purchasing new and used transportation. More Than Third Of Oregon Farms Use Electricity Electric current from central stations is being supplied to 39.7 per cent of Oregon's 67,753 farms, as compared with 16.8 per cent served in the United States as a whole, according to data included in the 1937 re port of the rural electrification administration, which has just been received by the extension service at Oregon State college. The data on total number of farms is corrected to January 1, 1937, while the count of farms served is as of June 30, 193 7. the report shows. Oregon stands thirty-first among the states in total number of farms, and thir teenth in percentage served with electricity. Although Oregon's degree of electrification is high as com pared with the nation r.s a whole, it Is exceeded by a 1 1 of her neighboring states except Ne vada, the report shows. Cali fornia is second only to Rhode Island in the percentage of farms served, with 67.6 per cent. Washington has 52.9 per cent electrification, and Idaho 4d.1 per cent. Utah and the New Eng land states, with the exception of Vermont, together with Penn sylvania and New Jersey, are other states surpassing Oiegon in rural electrification. Only four REA projects are listed in the report for Oregon, these being the Blachly, Lane county project." the Nehalenl val ley project in Clatsop county; the Umatilla project near Her miston, and a Willamette val ley pro jee t sponsored by the Portland General Electric com pany. A total of 1845 custom ers will be served by these four projects.

Gilmore, presi dent of the Gilmore Oil company, at the home plant of the concern. Gilmore played chef as well as host to the group of eight drivers, newspapermen and company ex ecutives who dined informally in the rustic-styled barbecue kitchen maintained in the administration offices of the oil plant. Fourteen official records for mileage were made in the run au thorized and supervised by the contest board of the American Au tomobile association. Six of these records were made in ton miles per gallon, the official AAA meas urement of performance; six were in lineal miles per gallon: while the average of all cars entered in the stingy classic and the sweep stakes event accounted for two more records. Congratulates Drivers Gilmore congratulated the rec ord-breaklng drivers for their fine performance, and pointed out that in the automotive world this stock car classic demonstrates the re markable advances made in the engineering of modern motor cars Those who broke records in the 1938 run and the cars they drove were Eddie Pullen, Ford 60: Otto Butts, Terraplane; Clay Moore, Graham Supercharger; Homer Thompson, Nash; George Magee Lincoln Zephyr; W. Jennings. Hudson 8; O. Wedgewood, Gra ham Special, and L. P. Butts, Packard Super 8. All of the 26 cars in the 1938 event achieved a combined ave rage of 22.8 miles per gallon of Red Lion gasoline, which record is considered all the more phe nominal because the run this year was made over a more difficult route than heretofore.

Around 100 bales of 1937 crop Clusters netted 10 cents to 13 cents per ponnd, net to growers, variation depending upon qual ity, of the small lots offered. none of which were reported as representing top grades. The general market on 1937 sup plies was reported as holding aiound 12c to 15c per pound, net growers. One small lot of 1936 hops brought 4c per pound net grower, while another snail lot 1 9 3 6 crop Fnggles nettea grower 5c per pound. There were no contracts for future delivery reported written in Oregon during the period. Wet weather during recent weeks has delayed spring work in Ore gon yards to a later date than usual ln other seasons, ana m- tle cultivation has been accomp lished up to this time. At the close of the week, the hops market situation on the west coast appeared , very quiet with demand slow and offerings limited. In the Yakima valley, tales by growers were limited to 49 bales of 1937 ' Clusters which netted 14c per pound. No California Sales Trading remained rt a stand still in California, with no sales of 1937 hops reported by grow ers in the three main producing districts. Wreather was more favorable for the new crop with yards drying rapidly under clear, skies and brisk winds. Some plowing was accomplished in earliest sections, but in general new crop preparations are about 30 days later than average. Court to Be Held In C of C Rooms SILVERTON Justice Alf O.
