PAGE TWELVE THe OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon. Thursday Morning April 17. 1941 Prices Shift, Regain Loss LTncertainty of Loan Program for New - Crop Bringg Drop r"; CHICAGO, April L6-i!P)-Wheat prices shifted nervously within a range of as much as li cents to day, dipping at one time about a cent below the previous close ut later recovering all of the loss. - Closinf quotations were V low er to V higher compared with yes terday,: May 91, July fiOH-1;. te - buying was attributed to 'covering operations of dealers who . had sold "short" and also to mill- fng interests, possibly reflecting flour sales to the army or other consumers. Wheat started upward at the opening but tumbled about a cent after midsession as a result r?f selling induced by good grain belt rains, uncertainty about the loan program for the new crop and war news.

G Nibler, assistant county agent, With the final date for accepting applications passed, plans for set-. ting up centers at Silverton, Wood burn, Stayton, Marion. Jefferson, Red Hills, Keizer and Hubbard are now going ahead. Bach applicant in these communities will be called to the centers at. scheduled times to.be assisted in making his mat tress by local -supervisors.; Or ganizations sponsoring the' various community - r centers Include granges. Farmers' - .' Unions and women's clubs. - A training school will be held in this, "county on May 1 and 2 at which time the local - supervisors; who wiil start work at the centers, will receive' training in mattress making from representatives of the OSC extension service.: ' Although - applications for the mattresses : were 1 accepted only from families with a stated mini mum annual cash income, the pro gram is definitely not a relief pro gram, but rather is a means of dis posing of some of the huge surplus stocks of cotton, while at the same time, increasing the standard of living of many rural families. The use of this surplus cotton also re ciprocates the southern cotton growers increasing use of vetches and peas for. cover crop seed, Nibler said, .Some eastern - Oregon counties have completed mattresses under I this program and ; applicants are enthusiastic Over the quality of the product according to reports of ex tension. . leaders. Experience in other states has shown that -under proper care, the mattresses will re main in excellent condition for years. - Thrown From Horse PERRYDALE M ark O D e 1 i was thrown from a horse Thurs day while riding In McMinnville.
