Wheat Depressed
By Snow Falling
Sagging Quotations Are
Raised Some by
Mill Buying
CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-(yP)-A fresh
blanket of snow piling up the
past 24 hours over most of the
hard winter . wheat belt, with
promise of more to come, depres
sed wheat prices today.
Quotations sagged as much as
1 4 cents at one time but scat
tered mill purchasing, short cov
ering and evening up operations
erased about half of this loss.
Wheat closed lower than
yesterday. May 96-7s, July
84-94.
Weather news dominated the
trade. Snows ranging up to 4 to
6 inches in depth were reported
from Texas northward to' the
Dakotas with some rain in the
far south. Furthermore, the long
range forecast indicated more
rain or mow could be expected
Monday or Tuesday and again
possibly late In the week.
Crop experts regarded this
weather as about the best that
can be expected at this time of
year. If temperatures are high
enough to permit moisture to
soak into the ground much wheat
may be benefitted, they said
Ungerminated wheat may not
have time to mature before har
vest begins in about four months,
they said.
The trade could not confirm
rumors that two cargoes of Gulf
wheat had been sold for export
but in view of recent denials of
government officials that the ex
port subsidy program had been
extended beyond the pacific coast
little credence was given the re
ports. Further inquiry from the
orient for pacific coast wheat
was reported.

onion growers interested in fer
tilizer for spring plantings will

house next Wednesday night to
pool their requirements for a
mass order. Several carloads of

chased annually cooperatively
through a local, committee.

Small Seed Crops
To Be" Discussed
Four Meetings Scheduled
for Marion County
During Week
Tho demand for small seed
crops provides the farmer with
an opportunity to produce good
a-oll building crops to replace
grain crops which may have been
grown so extensively as to de
plete the soil, and many Marion
county farmers who recognize this
fact are establishing small seed
crops on their farms, according
to Harry L. Riches, county agri
cultural agent.
This increased interest in small
seed production has prompted the
county agent to arrange a series
of meetings to discuss the sub
ject. They are scheduled for
Tuesday and Wednesday, Febru
ary 6 and 7, as follows:
February 6, 9:30 a. m., Stay
ton city hall; 1:30 p, m., Silver
ton armory. February 7, 9:30 a,
m., Mt. Angel city hall; 1:30 p,
m., Donald city hall.
The meetings will feature dis
cussions of harvesting methods,
time and rate seeding, and cul
tural methods and practices of
raising chewings fescue, red
creeping fescue, and pasture
strains of orchard grass and tim
othy. Other subjects to be cov
ered will be the Increase in pro
duction of vetch and peas and
perennial grasses; the possibill
ties of several new grasses; more
promising grasses for cash in
come; the present high prices of
small seeds and the probability
of a natural decrease In price in
accordance with Increased pro
duction. Lawrence Jenkins, an extension
specialist in farm crops at Ore
gon State college, will attend the
meetings to lead the discussions.
Riches extends an Invitation to
all persons interested in small
seeds to attend any or all of
the meetings.

Oregon Hop Mart
Dull During Week
PORTLAND, Feb. l-&y-The
federal agricultural marketing
service said today that the ab
sence of sales created a dull tone
on the Oregon hop market this
week.
The 1939 clusters were nom
inally valued at 23-25 cents a
pound to growers. A few con
tracts for 1940 regular type clus
ters were written during the per
iod at 23 cents a pound.
Remaining 1939 supplies have
not been pressed by producers,
giving steadiness to trade and off
setting the light current inquiry.
Some growers are holding for at
least current values on the 1940
contracts.

Forest Method
Faulty, Charge
Douglas Fir Region Worst
now, Says Assistant
to Federal Chief
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 -(')-Lack
of forest practice In tha
United States is partially at fault
for the feeling of private owners
that they could show a profit only
If they "cut everything within
reach."
C. L. Forsllng, assistant chief
of the forest service, made this
comment in testimony before the
house appropriations committee
considering the agriculture appro
priation bill for 1941.
The official said that after pri
vate owners made their invBt
ment. , they believed the only so
lution was to "cut everythlna
within reach, little trees as well
a big, in order to liquidate th
investment, and the result was
the land was left in a devastated
condition."
Forest service investigation, h
added, showed that the owner
could have kept forests In a pro
ductive condition by leaving
smaller trees, which were taktn
out at a loss.
Northwest Criticize
"We are up against that prob
lem now in the Douglas fir re
gion of the northwest, where we
have one of the worst examples
of clear cutting," Forsling said.
"The hope is that by cbanglr.g
from railroad logging to tractor
and truck logging, they will be
able to leave young growth."
The late F. A. Silcox, chief of
the service, also testified that
"in the west a hotel which cont
S32C.000 was sold for $25,000
recently. The depleted resources
behind that hotel is what knocked
the bottom from under it. The
disease spots are already appear
ing in Washington and Oregon
where 65 cents of every dollar
that circulates in Seattle, Port
land and Tacoma comes out tf
wood."
"Now as to the whole problem
of private land ownership," Sil
cox continued, "either we are go
ing to find some way by whkh
they can maintain it in private
ownership so they can lay the
foundation for continuous com
munities and sound loans for
those communities or else we ara
going to spread the problem
through much larger areas, going
over Into public ownership."
