-Fiiiaeciai :Market (Comics Fair it PAGE EIGHT Woodbiirn Gets Labor Office v Employment Service , '. Meets Requests of Many Farm Groups Opening of a branch office of the US employment service In Woodburn early In April with Richard PicKell in charge, has teen announced by W. H. Battlie, manager of the Salem office. : The office is the outgrowth of requests, of farmers, berry grow ers, hop men and processors and will serve territory within a ra dius of 10 miles of Woodburn. The comunity will furnish the neces sary office space and equipment, according to Mrs. Mary E. Austin, chairman , of the Woodburn agri cultural defense committee. - i In a letter requesting the office Mrs; Austin stated that there are 1400 acres of berries in the area requiring 5600 pickers: 260 acres of beans, providing employment for 1600 harvesters, as well as 110 acres of canning vegetables, 200 acres of sweet corn and 3500 acres of hops, requiring 8000 to 10,000 'pickers. Five thousand acres of ""flax will be grown and the Ray , Maling cannery employes 900 to 1100 persons during its peak, Mrs. ' Austin added. Grain Selling Burst Puts Prices Low , CHICAGO, March 23.-;P)-An tother outburst of selling in the grain market, similar to that i which Weakened prices last week, caused a new sinking spell Mon day and most quotations reached virtually the lowest general level of the year before there was a rally. Soybeans were weakest, tumb : ling more than 5 cents at one stage of lows unequalled here ' since mid-January. This helped ' to upset values on other pits and ' wheat and rye fell almost 2 cents, wheat selling at the lowest price since early last , December and rye since early in January. In the absence of trade develop ments upon which the liquidation could be blamed, brokers attrib uted ' the reaction to a continua 'tion of spring liquidation due to a combination of factors. These ' included lagging demand from consuming interests, except in the case of feeding grains, likelihood of a scarcity of storage space - when 1942 harvest begin, favor able winter wheat prospects, post ponement of consideration of leg 1 islation to restrict government grain sales and possibility of in v .-" creased spring military activity. The government report on spring planting intentions, to be released tomorrow, was expected to be bearish. After the stop loss selling sub - sided the market rallied on short covering and wheat closed 1-1 cent lower than Saturday, May $05y4-H; July $1.27y4-. Harvest of Hi For Seed Suggested by Official ' Farmers with highland bent want to look into the possibility "suggests W.-G. Nibler, assistant ..In past years, highland bent grass has been considered. a serious pest on cropland on cer tain hill soils around Silverton, Sublimity and: Stayton. Many farmers have found - it a ' good sheep pasture if kept fairly closely grazed by t its persistent sod and dense growth is discouraging to grain fanning. ; .,'.' ...;.:;:. The last few years the seed of this crop has been selling from 35 to 48 . cents and up 'per pound. The demand for seed of highland bent is increasing since it has been found one of the best bent grasses for. lawns and . pastures due to greater ' disease" resistance and ability to withstand more heat and draught than the other bents. As a result of the increased demand, more and more farmers are har vesting this grass for seed. A certification service is avail able through the county agent's office for all bent grass growers wishing to certify their fields. Last year certified seed sold for approximately seven to nine cents cer pound. The difference in price made by r certification is due to the guarantee that the seed is of good strain of bent grass as de termined . by field examination and is free of noxious weed seeds. At times growers have experi enced difficulty in getting a seed set of bent The grass may shoot plenty of seed stalks but the heads ry not filL This can be caused Try ate of Chnit remedi.

Hot wea ther at blooming time sometimes blasts the blossoms and no seed is set.- Fields that are pastured heavily especially in the . spring, often set little seed. Old fields that are sod-bound often set less seed and many growers are fol lowing the practice of shallow 'plowing or disking fields early in the fall to break up the sod. The grass then has a chance to grow back during the winter and make seed that harvest' Fields of low fertility often produce very little Seed and if the price remains good on this grass seed, It might be ad visable to fertilize fields for seed as is now being done in the bent grass regions on the coast with profitable results. ; ; la some cases, reports Nibler, bent graas comes vp very thick In fields planted to grain. Last year several . farmers certified this seed and cleaned It eat of the eats, getting considerable mere for the bent grass than for the Mis. ;.' ; Planting this grass "on good cropland is not advised because of the difficulty in eradicating it, but it might be more profitable to harvest it for seed in fields where it now is than to try to get rid of it and go back to grain. ' For those wishing . to kill ou' bent grass on good cropland Nib ler says that th system found to work best is to dry plow as soon as the . grain or hay is harvested off the land.

G. Nibler, assistant county agent. Poison barley i will ; again be available this ; year, for Marion county farmers and can be ob tained at the following places in the county: St. Paul state bank, St Paulr.Pirst National bank. Wood-urn; United States National bank, ML Angel; Coolidge & Mc Claine bank. Silverton: First Na tional bank, Stayton, and county agent s office, postoffice uilding, Salem. ; ' 'tt-'-'iHl- In poisoning grey diggers,' most economical use of bait is to scatter a little at the mouth of the bur row and In the 'j runways. The practice of putting , the bait in piles, in boxes or dropping hand fuls down the holes Is not eff ec tlve and wastes much more, ac cording to Nibler. Strychnine, the poison used in preparing this bait, is becoming harder to get and more expen sive. Farmers are urged to use the bait to the best advantage to con serve supplies and get maximum results.' , A few kernels of barley are enough to kill a digger but if a pile of bait is handy the squirrels will eat much more than is neces sary to get a km. Nibler also urges that farmers, m-poisoning, make an effort to kill all the diggers by follow-up farmers' wholesale market .Mon day. Sales were made at 75 cents for 15-pound boxes.
