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

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

of harvesting this crop for seed
county agent. .
by a variety of things. 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. The sod is plowed up

Poison Barley
Available for
Qrey Diggers
Grey diggers are out In targe
numbers again and it is time to
put out poison, according to W. 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. Leaf stock
sold from 70 to 75 cents dozen
bunches.
