On the other hand, the MaeArthar stand in the Philippines was cheering- and hopes reinforcements were on the way revived bullishness to some extent. Business develop ments were fairly helpful con sidering doubts anent taxes, shortages and priorities. The 50-cent dividend of General Motors failed to disturb this stock which ended up Va at 33 Vi. Chrys ler advanced a point at 48.

It is reported htat several simi lar meetings have been held over the state this year and the dis cussion has been very interesting due to many new problems effect ing cooperative organizations. . Such matters as income taxes and various interpretations of rules in this connection is an im portant topic at this time. Insur ance matters are timely because many policies carried by coopera tive organizations have proved to be inadequate against certain types of losses and responsibili ties. Paul Carpenter, cooperative marketing specialist, Oregon State college, has been invited and pro bably at least two other authori ties on some of these problems will attend, says W. C. Leth, Polk county agent, who is arranging the session. The meeting is primarily for of ficials and certain employes of cooperatives and is not intended to be open. Those who are direc tors of cooperatives not having headquarters in this county are also urged to attend. Returns to Wyoming SCIO Mrs. G. L. Shell is vis iting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lytle. She plans to return to her Sheriday, Wyo., home Monday.

Phosphate to Be Available Growers Urged Plan Needs; Orders Taken At Three Locations DALLAS Contrary , to prev ious expectations triple super phosphate will be made available as a grant of aid through the AAA program this week. Word to this effect has recently been receiv ed at the Polk county office, states W. C. . Leth, .county-agent and secretary of the Polk county agri cultural conservation association. Orders have been made and cars will be ieceived at Perry dale, Independence and Dallas. While It Is not definitely known Wool in Boston BOSTON. Feb. 3 (AP) (USDA) There were more inquiries for wool in the Boston market following an nouncement that some of the new government contracts for wool goods had been awarded spot lots of Aus tralian 64 to 70 topmaking wools were in good demand at mostly $1.02 1.07, scoured basis, including the duty. Graded fine territory wools of aver age to good French combing length were moved at - $1.10-1.13, scoured basis. Just when this material will ar rive, It is understood that ship-. ment is to be made early and word is expected almost any time that .the shipments are on' their, way. H Growers wishing to receive this material for spring or early fall use should .make arrangements at the county office for their needed supplies and save addi tional cost by securing the ma terial directly from the car. Those receiving .this material from the car will save additional handling and storage charges. It is understood that the phos phate secured this year will be of higher test than any yet re ceived and will be very similar to the triple phosphate secured two and three years ago. Unlike the 20 per cent ma terial, secured last year this phosphate does not contain land plaster, therefore those wishing to make land plaster applica tions also may give considera tion to mixing the phosphate and land plaster together or ap plying them separately. Due to lack of storage facilities in the county it is important that growers secure as much of this material now as possible to save additional cost and to be sure of getting the needed supply for the season's use.
