January 20. 1942 H" H " " . , Grain Market Drifts Lower CHICAGO, Jan: 19-VImpor-tant trade developments over the week-end vitally affecting the wheat market caused hardly a ripple of excitement in the futures cit today but were blamed partly for selling that weakened other i trains. Disclosure that the government was preparing to send lend-lease food to Russia, including possibly wheat and flour as well as other ; cereals, and the commodity credit I corporation's offer to sell-100,000,- ' 000 bushels of old wheat for feed would, under normal circum stances, be regarded as bullish cte velopments. However, wheat trad ers virtually ignored them as buy ing incentives. i After advancing about Va cent early in the day, wheat drifted i lower, being depressed mostly by weakness that developed in other grains. Closing prices in all pits were at or near the day's lows, i with wheat - lower than Sat- ; urday. May $1.30-, July $1.31; corn Vt- down, May 85, July 87: oats - off; ' rye -iy4 down and soybeans higher.

' I -. - Stock Market Trend Uneven NEW YORK, Jan. 19H?)-Rails picked up an assortment of buy-: ing passengers in Monday's stock market and selected industrials, including steels, negotiated mod est recoveries. Many leaders and a number of "blue chips," however, continued to languish in losing : territory. Trends were uneven at the start. There was a mild upturn after mid-day but the close was no bet ter than moderately irregular. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was up .1 of a point at 37.8. Dealings were notably slack during the greater part of the pro ceedings and transfers of 428,760 shares compared with 477,000 "Fri day. It was the smallest turnover since October 3 last. : Certified Corii Seed Available With excellent Oregon grown certified hybrid seed corn avail able in this state, there is no need for Oregon field corn growers to take chances on unadapted seed, says R. E. Fore, associate agro nomist at the Oregon experiment station, in a new extension cir cular No. 378, entitled "Plant Oregon Grown Certified Hybrid Seed Corn." Only those hybrids ; known to be adapted to certain sections of Oregor are certified by the Ore gon Extension service, which checks both the methods of pro duction and the quality of the seed. The circular contains a list of growers of hybrid seed who have supplies available for the coming season.

Fertilizer Use In Spring Ups Yield of Seed Nitrogen fertilizers are best applied to some seed crops in the spring, according to results of one year's tests made on lQacre plots in a chwings fescue field of the Red Hill soils experimental area near Oregon City. The best yield of seed was obtained where a spring application of 100 pounds per acre of 16-20-0 fertilizer was made, plus 100 pounds of am monium sulphate. Results were nearly as good where the fall; application of the first material was made followed by a spring application of ammo nium sulphate.; Where only a fall application was made without the spring ammonium sulphate, less than half as ' many seed stalks were produced per square yard. The experiment Will be contin ued.

The subterranean clover, which promises to be one of the major pasture finds for! Oregon, Is an annual clover, but reproduces it self year after yer by developing its seed tinder the surface of the ground, somewhat like the pea nut plant. ; I The problem has been . to find some way of harvesting the clo ver which would 3ift the seed out of the ground before cutting the vine. This was ; accomplished by using a lespedeza cutter bar with four special lifter guards at tached. A windrower was also used be hind the cutter; bar. A lespedeza cutter bar is thinner than the or dinary bar and has about twice as many guards.
