ISO Domestic Wool ite Is Inadecras Convention Speaker Tells ' - 4 ,: - Grower at Lake view; f Blarket, Question LAKEVIE W, - Dec. J.-P)-Th 'domestic supply of wool cannot meet - the proposed demands of the army." Mac Hoke, Pendleton, said today. The army's plan to call 4,000, 600 men for training; in the next two years will make necessary ' large imports of foreign wool, he told the annual conrention of the Oregon Wool Growers association. "It is essential that the secre tary of war and secretary of nary be permitted to exercise their judgments as to using imported wool in army goods," the associa tion president added. Hoke held no optimism for the wool market after the end of war, but predicted good times until then. "Domestic wool in quantities is no longer arailable from the 1940 crop. We must take a prac tical Tiew as to use of foreign wools. Sheep and Iamb prices should continue good for the du ration of defense preparations. "There will be lessened totals of all kinds of meats available in 1941, purchasing power of the public will be higher next year and more families will eat lamb. "A rapid improvement in the employment situation is now evi dent. The, sheep and breeding stock production outlook for 1941 la exceptionally good. The physical conditions for growing sheep and wool have never been better in Oregon." J He voiced a need for better fa cilities at many shipping points, better coordination of truck regu lations with other states and pro tection of wage and labor stand ards and the Taylor grazing act. Canadian Apples Ciit Oregon Price WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-(JP) Canadian apples severely cut into the market of United States' pro ducers, Senator Homer Angell said in the house last week. He claimed many Oregon grow ers abandoned their crops because they could not find a market. The surplus marketing administration purchased 79 2 cars of apples, but at the same time 4S5 cars of Ca nadian apples entered the US, he said. Unequal duty rates work against the US farmer, he added, stating that the US duty on Canadian ap ples was 15 cents per box, while the Canadian duty on US apples was 00 cents.
