PAGE TEXT till OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon. Tuesday Morning April 15. 1941 i Grain Prices Zoom Upward f Orders Inspired by ! Army Buying, Loans on New Crops t CHICAGO, April 14-(P)-Wheat prices shot up as much as cent at the opening song, later retreated lor net losses of about Vt cent at one time and then came ' to life again in final dealings, equaling or bettering the early highs. An advance of three cents in soy beans futures to above $1.21 for May delivery, highest since January, 1940, attracted attention Traders attributed the opening run-up of wheat to accumulated orders inspired, partly by late last week's increased milling demand, which may have been associated with army buying, and by pros- pects of congressional action un der which loans on the new crop would be increased. The late rally followed reports that the army was preparing to make awards on purchases of vitamin enriched flour. Wheat closed at the best level of the day, higher than Saturday and within about one cent of the ten months peaks es tablished ten days ago. May was quoted at 92 and July 915i-,2.

According to Ronald E. Jones of Brooks and C. P. Yundt, Mal heur county, members of the na tional committee backing, the move for healthy onion varieties, i Sen. McNary, ex-officio member of the senate appropriation com mittee; Sen. Holman, also a mem ber; Vice-president Wallace, him self a leading scientific plant breeder of the country, and Reps. James W. Mott, Walter M. Pierce and Homer D. Angell have sup ported this move, while Sen. Mc Nary for ten years has been the national godfather in technical f matters to the potato industry of Oregon and of the United States, which greatly needs an early, productive, white mealy variety that won't scab.
