1 .Far Fiiiaiiciat 1 i Markets Comics PAGE TWELVE Stock Issues Drop Slightly Morning's Stable Prices Yield To Selling NEW YORK, March Buying " and , selling activities were both under - restraint In Wednesday's stock market but near the close offerings outran demand and leaders fell fractions to around a point " Until after midday prices were fairly .stable in most departments. Motors and the industrial spe- Hal ties which led Tuesday's mod est upturn were watch for clues or further rising power and when thfT faltered the list as a whole tilted downward. A dip of 5 of a point in The Associated Press 60-stock aver age erased the previous day's rain and left the composite at 34.9. Dealings totaled 316,345 shares compared with Tuesday's 363, 565. The slight stimulus afforded the market earlier in the week by the buoyant rise in rail bonds was absent today because profit selling halted the move in the carrier issues. Other liens were shout steady. " . Stocks in the loss division at the finish included US Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, Goodrich, US Rubber Pfd., United Aircraft, American Telephone, Westing - house, Johns-Manville, Du Pont, Texas company, and Santa Fe. Air reduction, Cerro De Pasco and Allied Chemical emerged with moderate gains. Thrip Control Methods Told DALLAS P rune growers in Polk 'county are being notified that if they were planning to spray prune trees for control of thrips it should be done immedi ately. Apparently some orchards in this county are somewhat later and it is recommended that no growers plan on spraying without first determining that thrips are present, states W. G Leth, Polk county , agent. The presence of thrips can eas ily be determined by selecting at random a sufficient quantity of buds of an entire orchard keeping them in a tight jar while collect ing, and then picking the buds apart on a large white sheet of paper. If thrips are present to the ex tent that they will average nearly one per bud, spraying is recom mended. A second spray is rec ommended if thrips continue to appear and if they can be found in about this same proportion. It is recommended that spray be ap plied even though fewer than one per bud are found for the first spray. It is not advisable to wait for a heavy infestation as it is pos sible for one thrip to blast a blos lom. The recommended sprays are: lime sulfur, three gallons, nico tine sulfate, 40 per cent, 1 pint and water to make 100 gallons; or oil emulsion, having the following viscosity: 70-75 seconds saybolt; sulphonation test of 90 per cent, diluted to give 2 percent actual oil; nicotine sulfate 40 per cent, 1 pint and water to make 100 gal lons. Thoroughness of application Is essential and high pressure is desirable. At least 350 pounds of pressure is required, Leth said. ; Those not having sprayed pre viously and who have not had ex perience in the control of this in sect may receive additional infor mation at the county agent's of fice. Onion Prices Rise PORTLAND, Maiyh 2S-(JP) Prices advanced to $2.40 for dry onionskin 50-pound bags on the Fanners' wholesale market Wed nesday.

Information on blossom end rot of tomato is being sought by many growers. This is not a di sease in the strict sense of the word, but is caused by unfavor able growth conditions. It is dis cussed in extension circular 372. The potato flea bettle is another garden pest causing frequent in quiries. Circular of information No. 227 covers this subject, while extension bulletin 551 handles the insect pest control situation more broadly. Crown division for propagating everbearing strawberries is ex plained in extension bulletin 488. Some of the widely used ever bearing varieties do not produce runners, hence their Increase is by cutting the crowns into sev eral pieces and resetting annually. Western yellow tomato blight is really one form of the curly top disease that attacks a number of vegetables, particularly in east ern Oregon where the leafhopper which carries the virus is abun dant Circular of information 180 covers this question.

Order on Wool Brokers Pay Is Garified WASHINGTON, March 25. A clarification of provisions relating to brokers commissions for. do mestic shorn wool was announced today by OPA. While the original regulation is sued on February 23 provided that a broker acting either for a buyer or seller might charge a commis sion of not more than 1 per cent in addition to the applicable max imum price for shorn wool. This clarification makes it clear that such a commission may not be added by cooperative marketing associations or other agencies making sales of wool held on con signment from the grower. However, no limitation Is pla ced on the amount of commission if the total selling price does not exceed the maximum established by the schedule.

D. Pence, chairman of the county AAA com mittee said. The county agricultural conser vation association has received 120 tons of concentrated ' phos phate for distribution through the conservation materials program this year, the chairman reported. While orders have been coming in rapidly, part of this supply is still available. However, the chairman advised farmers wishing to apply phosphate this spring or next fall to place their orders im mediately, as no more will be available this year when present supplies are exhausted. The chairman also pointed out that in line with the victory gar den program, phosphate now may be applied to farm gardens under, the AAA program. This provi sion does not apply to commer cial truck gardens, however. Under the 1941 conservation materials progranv490,600 pounds of super phosphate, and 1,301,000 pounds of lime were applied to Polk county farmlands.
