WASHINGTON. Dec. 21-P)-A
1941 winter wheat crop of
S3.000.000 bushela the largest
since 1938 was indicated on the
hasis of December 1 condition of
the crop, the agricultural de
partment reported today.
x Such a crop, coupled with an
average spring wheat crop and
existing surpluses, would provide
a supply of around 1,200,000,000
bushels for next season, one of
the largest on record, officials
said. Spring wheat production
usually average about 183.000,000
bushels. The present surplus has
been estimated at about 390,000,
000 bushels.
v Unless foreign markets should
open up; a. supply of this size, of
ficials said, might require a grow
er referendum on marketing quo
tas to keep a portion of the new
crop off the market.
A winter wheaUcrop of the size
indicated would be about 7.5 per
cent larger than the 1940 harvest
of 589,000.000 and 9.8 per cent
larger than the 10-year (1929-38)
average of 571,000,000 bushels.
Production In 193 $ was 686,000,
000 bushels.
Conditions of 'the 1941 crop,
which was seeded last fall, was
84 per cent of normal the best
since the 1931 bumper winter
wheat crop of 825,000.000 bu
shels. Condition of the 4940 crop
on the corresponding date was,
by comparison, only 55 per cent
of normal.
The department said 46,271,000
acres have been seeded to winter
wheat, an Increase of 5.6 per cent
over the 43,820,000 acres planted
for this year's crop, but slightly
smaller than the 10-year average
seedlngs of 47,808.000 acres.
An abandonment of about 11
per cent of the seeded acreage is
Indicated, the department said.
Abandonment in 1940 was 17.5
per cent, the same as the 10-year
average.
The department said the im
provement in the condition of the
crop above last year was greatest
In the Great Plains. Rocky Moun
tain and Pacific northwest states.
"In those regions," it said, "the
moisture conditions that favored
seeding operations quite generally
brought the wheat up to good
stands, and heavy top growth."
Crass Seed Ready
At County Agent's
Marlon county farmers may
now place seed orders for leafy
strain orchard grass at the county
agent's office. Special strains, S
26 and S-143, have been selected
because of their leafinesa and
palatability and ability to stand
pasturing.
As there is no domestic supply
of this seed available, the seed
must now be imported at the
price of 70 cents a pound.
It Is the desire of the county
agent's office to get a small do
mestic supply of these grasses so
that a market may be developed,
according to Assistant County
Agent W. O. Nibler.
Since these grasses are low
seed ' producers, it is probable
that they can most satisfactorily
be grown in rows three feet
apart and probably not over three
pounds will be needed to seed
an acre.
Anyone wishing to place an
order for some of this seed should
do so immediately at the county
agent's office. Seed must be or
dered from abroad at once to be
available for spring planting.

Hold Yule Party
DALLAS Members of the Al
mira Rebekab lodge held tbeir an
nual Christmas party in the IOOF
hall Tuesday night. The hall was
attractively decorated with a
Christmas tree, holly and red ta
pers. An exchange of gifts was held.
These will be turned over to the
Dallas fire department for dis
tribution to needy children of the
community at Christmas time.
A program was presented by
the FL Girls club and included
two vocal numbers by Billie Bee
Jones and Shirley Scott and a
reading by Mrs. Vincent Jones.
About 50 were present for the
meeting.

Activities Halted
At Turner School
TURNER The Turner grade
school closed Thursday noon due
to the high percentage of pupils
ill with influenza. Teachers were
also 111. The gift distribution
was held a day earlier than

ties dismissed.
Friday forenoon the high
school closed following a brief
study period, gift exchange and
treats. The Christmas program
announced for the afternoon was
canceled, as was the basketball
game with Mt. Angel that was
scheduled here for Friday night.
Flu Inroads Few
In Meliama Homes
MEHAMA Several persons
have had attacks of the influen
za which is making its rounds but
so far it has not warranted the
closing of school as in larger com
munities. It has, however, de
layed Christmas plans for some
persons.
Since the rain has come and
thawed out the frozen ground,
dirt and gravel roads in this com
munity are cutting up badly. Sev
eral men are out of work 'for the
present due to this condition.

Few Favorites up at Closing
Time; Tax Worries Slow
Buying Ardor
NEW YORK, Dec. 21-,!P)-Buy-Ing
support came in for scattered
favorites in today's stock market
but the list on the whole, finished
a generally unsatisfactory week
with inconclusive trends.
Shipbuildings stepped out in
front at the last of the brief ses
sion, and steels and specialties
tacked on fractions to a point or
so, but ragged tendencies were
displayed in virtually all depart
ments at the close.
The Associated Press average of
SO stocks was unchanged at 43,
leaving it about where it was in
September of this year and 1939.
It was the seventh consecutive
session in which tbe composite
had - been unable to post a plus
sign.
In 647 individual issues traded.
220 were up, 202 down and 225
held at their final levels of Fri
day. Year-end tax-selling in several
low-price stocks again accounted
for a sizable portion of the vol
ume which amounted to 420,992
shares compared with 390,360 last
Saturday.
Aside from the restraint of ac
count adjustments for the income
blanks, brokers said, buying ti
midity was attributed partly to
persistent worries over next year's
tax bill and lack of anything par
ticularly stimulating in the war
news budget. As In past weeks,
business hopes were the principal
sustaining factor.
Among the better performers
were General Motors, Crucible
Steel, Sears Roebuck, Glenn Mar
tin, American Telephone, Anacon
da, Kennecott, US Gypsum, Stand
ard Oil of NJ, Texas Corp, Santa
Fe, NY Central, and Great North

hopgrower, reports that he had
63 acres of hops this year which
netted him approximately 94,000

He recently hauled 279 bales
Into one of his fields to be de

Salem Nut Growers Ship to 44 States;
Operations for Year Cease Next Week
Chrstmas packages of walnuts and filberts have been
shipped in the past week to 16 different states by the Salem
Nut Grower's Cooperative, Manager M." P. Adams of the
Hood street plant said yesterday,
and within the past two weeks
many pounds of nuts have been
sold to Salem merchants for the
holiday trade.
Throughout the season ship
ments were made to all the states
with the exception of Florida,
South Carolina, Alabama and Ok
lahoma. Nuts also were shipped
by the Salem association to Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Canada.
Shipment to northern European
countries was precluded by the
war, Adams said.
Had sickness and flu left the
personnel of the plant alone, op
erations wquld have ceased Fri
day night.
The cooperative has had a good
year, Adams reports, and will
conclude operations sometime
next week. More money has been
handled this season than was han
dled last. He said that did not
necessarily mean that more mon
ey had been made. Indications are
that next year will be even a lar
ger season for the association, as
between 200 and 250 additional
acres have been signed.
Although the walnut is still the
big producer, there seems to be a
definite leaning toward the fil
bert by Oregon growers, he an
nounced. The valley over the yield
of tbe filbert for quality was high
er than that of the English wal
nut. Light Judging Set
SILVERTON Judging In the

CHICAGO, Dec ll.Hfl'V-Except
for short covering associated' with
the winding np of trading In De
cember contracts, the wheat mar
ket today was under the depress
ing influence of the government's
preliminary forecast of a big 1341
winter wheat crop. " -'
Previous short sellers who had
to choose between buying back
their December contracts or de
livering actual grain before the
end of the month were active par
ticularly during the final hour.
Inasmuch as contracts involving
3, 40,000 bushels remained to be
settled when the market opened,
their buying lifted . December to
90 cents at one time, up 4 from
the previous close, after the price
bad tumbled a full cent earlier in
the session. ' ' .
The December closed-unchanged
to 4 higher compared with
yesterday at 89-90. May and
July, the latter representing the
new 1941 crop, rose in sym
pathy with December at one stage
but closed H-M lower than yes
terday at SAYa-M and 79H78T.
Some wheat buying was attrib
uted to export Interests, - possibly
in connection with Red Cross pui
chases. There was talk of im
proved flour business and Ireland
took 150,000 bushels of Canadian
wheat.
1939 Planting of
Fish Announced
Trend Toward Patting in
Legal Size; Sport Is
2nd Only to Viewing
WASHINGTON, Dec. tl-UPh
The forest esrvice planted 09,
700 fish in the streams and lakes
of national forests in Oregon dur
ing 1939, the department of agri
culture announced today, as part
of a nation-wide program which
placed 288 million fish in the
waters of 34 states and Alaska
that year.
Forest service officers, work
ing with sportsmen's organiza
tions and state officials, carried
the fish in trucks, by pack train,
in airplanes and even on their
backs to the distribution points.
At the same time the depart
ment announced that there was
a trend toward planting legal sixe
fish, which become immediately
available to sportsmen and tend
to eliminate the throwing back
of undersized fish. Instead of us
ing their facilities to turn out an
annual crop of small Tish which
require two years In the streams
to reach legal size, the hatcheries
carry the fingerlings another year
on full feed and plant them when
large enough to be legally caught.
The department added that
data gathered by the forest serv
ice Indicated fishing was second
only to sightseeing among the
varied Interests of many millions
who visit the national forests an
nually. 4H Clubs Report
