Co Spraying for "Strictly Private" Thrips Urged Time Ripe to Wage War on Insects in Prune . Orchards Prune thrips are coming' out In emergency cages placed j In two Marion county prune orchards In the Liberty and Keizer sections, reports Robert : Rieder, acting county agent ' . The first thrips were found In ' the cages about March 7 and have now reached the peak ox emerg ence. It is recommended, there lore, that any growers who In tend to spray for the control xt prune thrips this year should be gin spraying immediately The recommended spray, consists of liquid lime sulphur three gallons, nicotine sulphate 40 per cent one pint, and water to make 100 gal Ions, -r- Rieder says that if a second spray Is to be applied to the primes for thrips control, it should be made when the blossom buds show green at the tips. It may not be necessary in all orchards to spray twice but to determine whether or not a second spray application Is necessary, the grow er should pick 100 or more buds, placing them in a Jar and exam ining them for the presence of thrips. If he 'finds more than 90 or 100 thrips per 100 buds, a sec ond spray application should be applied. Thrip spraying should be done carefully and with thoroughness. Every part of the tree should be covered with the spray and about 330 pounds of pressure is neces sary for a good job, Rieder states, With the outlook of prunes a little better this season, growers who have not sprayed in previous years may find it profitable to do 60 this season. r ft By Quinn HaU ost StodlS Fall Fractions Quotations at Portland wafcW CCAR AAOMl- .

A generally firm undertone prevailed in the hop market situation as the period ended. California hop markets were only moderately active bat; maintained a firm tone reflect-, log light offerings from growers and fair inquiry from the trade. Prices held firm around the high points 1 r the season. Coastal county growers report" ed sales of 48 bales of 1941 reg ular seeded clusters at 37 cent per pound and this left only about 35 bales of this growth in strictly first hand. With state stocks practically ex hausted, prices of 1941 hops dur ing the remainder of the season Will be almost entirely nominal. With an unusually large portion of the crop already under con tract, growers were hesitant in making further large deals on 1942 hops. At" the close of the week, coastal county, growers re ported contracts covering 200 bales of Tegular type 1942 clusters at 37 ft cents per pound and indi cated that 37 per pound was be ing freely bid for additional quan tities. . - - , w Many growers, however, were holding for around 40 cents.

Although some contract deals continued to be made from day to'day in most producing districts, trade advices indicated interest in contracting hops for future de livery appeared somewhat less active than in other recent weeks, partly because industries were waiting for further developments as to proposed taxes on ferment ed malt liquors. However, be cause of the unusually large por tion of the coming ; crop already under contract, growers were re ported offering somewhat less freely, or were asking prices somewhat! above current bids by dealers. , Oregon markets maintained a firm to stronge tone,, Of Interest waa the reported sales of around two earlots of 1941 ' crop hops daring the week at 40 cents to 40 Vi cents per pound net pro ducers.

Trade estimates also indicate that at least 60 per cent or more of the. 1942 Oregon hop crop has already- been, placed under con tract by producers. ..... .
