1 -I- i ! MS H r i ; .' i ' 4. Wheat Rallies Despite War Buying From Mills, . 1 Covering of Sales Aids in Recovery . CHICAGO, April 9 - (JP) - The wheat market displayed strong rallying power today in the face of depressing news from the Bal kan war front. Early losses of as much as IVi cents carried May futures to 89 and July to 87,, lowest since March 28, and extended the mar ket's retreat from the 10-months peaks established last week to 4k to 5 cents. At this point, however, selling diminished and fresh buying at tributed to mills and other inter ests as well as professional trad ers covering previous short sales stimulated a recovery that wiped out practically all of the loss. Wheat closed V lower to V higher compared with yesterday, May 90-y4, July 88H-.- Traders were disturbed by war news and the Churchill speech but there was no large scale sell . ing. Reports that the recent price drop checked redemption of loan grain, with prices in most locali ties now out of line for profit able sales, had a strengthening effect and market experts pointed cut that the trade must not lose sight of price supporting policies likely to be adopted by the gov ernment for the 1941-42 season. There were reports that sub stantial quantities of wheat al ready had been turned over to the government in default of loans. All warehouse stored grain loans will fall due by the end of the month.

April 9 AP ) USDA ) The bulk of the business In the Bos ton wool market consisted of fine or half-blood foreign wools today. Most of the purchases were, for immediate needs and were closed largely on wools that had arrived. Prices on for eign wools were steady. Only a few scattered transactions were being closed on domestic wools; and ' these sales were cither on wools that bad ar rived in Boston or were available for immediate shipment from the counrty. Buying lor future needs was quite re stricted but prices were mostly steady. Stocks Still ; On Decline Balkan News Factor in Bringing About Further Losses NEW YORK, April 9.-VRe ports of the nazi -capture of Sa lonika and push through Yugo slavia shook the stock market down for further losses today in the third session of decline since the Balkan blitz started. Speculation for higher prices swung toward imported commod ities, including rubber, and cocoa. Strength there helped rally other staples m late dealings. Stocks, however, exhibited lit tle punch on rallies. ' War shares. evidently in a weaker technical position than most groups, gave way readily. DuPont finished down 2V at 1424. Bethlehem Steel dropped to a new : 1941 low; ending at 73- 4, down; 1, and Westin chouse lost 1 at 914. US Steel fin ished off a point at 52 after making a new bottom for the year. Off fractions to more than a point were Union Carbide, Stand ard Oil of New Jersey, Texas Corp., J. C. Penney, Owens Illi nois Glass, Douglas Aircraft, An aconda, General Motors, Santa Fe, New York - Central, American Can and Sears Roebuck. Youngstown , Sheet and Great Northern Pre ferred were among the few em erging with slight gains. The Associated Press compos ite price of 60 stocks was off .5 of a point at 40.5. Aluminum of Am erica dropped nearly 6 to about 136 in the curb list.

Rleder acting : county - agent, the goose berry fly is now emerging ' In cages set up in gooseberry fields in the two localities of Marion county. The first spray application . for the control of this pest should be applied not later than April 16 to April 19. . ; Gooseberry flies, after emerging . from the soil, usually take "a pe riod of about a week or" 10. days in which -to "mate and begin. lay ing eggs. The gooseberry fly lays its eggs under .the skin of tfee de veloping gooseberry and after this happens .the spray -application is not effective. The spraying ' should be done with the following formula: lead arsenate, 2 ounces; '. cheap mo lasses, one" quart;, water to make three gallons. This spray should be applied thoroughly to both the upper and the under surfaces of all the foli age, particularly the lower parts of the plant which are most fre quented by the fly. Sprays should be repeated at 10-day intervals until harvest time and reapplied after heavy rains. i Mr. Rleder states that the first spray is very important In the control of gooseberry maggots be cause it is' the early egg laying which, if not prevented, causes the large worms In the berry at har vest time. ,. t When Olhers Fail" oar Chines rcmedim Aniaiin SUCCESS for 6009 year, in CHINA.
