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. The spread for Is was "from
$2.25 to $2.40 with demand keen
and 2s brought around $1.60 to
$1.85. -. v . ' 1
Green onions also were firm,
priced mostly at 35 to 40 cents
dozen bunches.
Defense Stamps Given

ions for Improvement of company
methods and facilities will be
awarded defense bonds and
stamps, Station Manager Oliver
Judd announced Wednesday. Last
year the. company paid $5000 to

tions and expects to distribute an
equal or larger amount in defense
bonds' and stamps this year.

OREGON STATESMAN, Salem,
Garden Help
Provided in
Bulletins
Most questions coming in from
gardeners this year are answered
in various publications of the
Oregon State college extension
service or experiment station.
points out Robert Rleder, Marion
county agent Some of these bul
letins most in demand have been
re-issued in large quantities,
while" others are available for
free distribution as long as the
supply lasts. .
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. Spittle bugs
are a widespread pest that are
controlled "by dusting- with rote-

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.

Phosphate in
Demand in
Polk County
DALLAS Soils of Polk county
farms are going to be kept in con
dition to produce . this county's
share of foods .for freedom no
matter how long the war lasts, If
orders for phosphate fertilizers
through the AAA program can be
taken as a barometer, R. 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.
