Newspaper Page TextTV ie mancial Mar Far (Go PAGZ EIGHT -0 Hop Plants in Good Condition; State Mart Firm to Stronger ! The hop market situation on be featured by the firm. tone, which has prevailed during other recent weeks, according to the department of agriculture. I Due to the extremely small remaining supplies of 1941 crop hops in growers hands, values i on this growth were largely nom inal. Principal trade interest con tinued to be centered in the con tracting of supplies from the 1942 crop. Prices quoted to growers on 1942 hops remained about un changed in California, but were about lucent per pound higher in Oregon and Washington en regu lar seeded types. Quotations on seedless qualities from the 1942 crop held at about unchanged levels in all three west coast states. Trade reports gen erally indicate that hop plants came through the winter in good Co-op Canning Group Formed ' At Liberty LIBERTY U nlted Growers, Inc., was the name adopted at the second organization meeting held here Wednesday by a large group of fruit and vegetable growers. ' It is a cooperative organization and already has a membership of CO. A total of 300 members is ex pected by the time organization is completed and operating as such. The board of directors was elect ed .Wednesday and consists of Warren Gray of Marion, chair man, Ralph Dent,' Michael Helms, Frank Hrubetz, H. R. Jones; Mr. Porter and T. N. Pilcher. United Growers plans to can and pack its own crops of small fruits, berries and vegetables Growers from the Salem area, Silverton, Marion, Jefferson and surrounding districts make up the membership. Uncle Sam Urges Record Pack of Tomatoes, Peas The war department has nounced the intention to an pay premium prices to canners to en courage record war time . packs 'of canned tomatoes and peas for military, use, according to an As sociated Press dispatch. , Under a policy worked out by the war department, the war pro duction board, and the agriculture department, canners who agree to - guarantee fixed . minimum prices 'to the grower for its products will be paid higher prices for their pack. , . iTo qualify, canners must certi fy they have contracted- With growers to pay at least the mini mum, local price. . An estimated 40,000,000 cases of tomatoes and 38,000,000 cases of peas will be required this year to '"meet domestic civilian, military and lend-lease requirements Spinach Grown At North Howell NORTH HOWELL This com munity is really going , in for its vegetables, especially spinach, in big way for the first time on record. ..- ., Leonard Seifer has planted 12 ores of spinach; George pine, eight, and m Ha tteberg,, three. ' With soil adapted to such crops, seed - available, a contract ready and labor costs cut to a minimum, -the growers are wondering if luck .will hold.' A two man harvester machine cuts the . spinach just above the ground and elevates it to boxes. .It is hauled to Salem canneries. ' ' ; " :Wells Farm Sale 'Attracts Crowd . .ALBANY One of the largest if not the largest, attendance at a farm sale, was that at the L. C. Williamson farm at Wells last : Sunday, when approximately 1500 s persons ' were present. . The sale t was held on Sunday because of week-day congestion on the can- tonment road week days. . . ; The first 17 head out of 47 ma t ture dairy cows brought' an aver : age price of $120.72, with 42 of the . 47 selling for over $100 each. The . highest price paid for a cow was .$160. Heifers and calves brought - similar high prices. ' The sale was . cried by CoL Ben T. Sudtell, pio ineer auctioneer. , . The . Williamson , family . are ' among those in : the cantonment district being forced to seek a new : home, due to the shortness of the time limit for moving, Williamson decided to dispose of his stock and farm equipment.

' ALBANY Housewives in Al- banymay soon get a double quan tity of milk every other day In stead of the usual amount each day, as the r suit of a meeting cf the Albany Milk Producers and Distributors this week. "Plans for ' such a program- were' discussed ' and a special meeting is to be held llonday - to consider the matterl the Pacific coast continued to i condition and better than in some other recent years. Weather was mostly favorable for field work in all areas with increasing operations reported in plowing and other spring cultivation work. Oregon markets were firm to stronger the past week. No sales of 1941 hops were reported In this state largely reflecting the only small scattered lots still in first hands, and prices were regarded as nominal. Continued Interest was shown in contract ing of 1942 crop hops, both seeded and seedless qualities. Several deals were reported completed daring the period un der review. While the general market on 1942 seeded types continued to be placed at 37 cents per pound, to growers, trade reports indicate that 38 cents was paid on some con tracts for this quality. These deals, however, were to growers known to have produced extra good qual ity in the past The going mar' ket on 1942 seedless Oregon hops held at the same sliding scale of 45 cents down to 37 cents per pound, net growers, the discounts prevailing according to seed con tent at time of delivery. Drying of the soil was rapid during the wee ana yaru wg was prunes- ing northward from the Grants f . i - i n i rass secuon, miu me upper vai- ey yards. I ' ; I Washington hoD markets also continued to display a firm to I stronger tone. In the Yakima val- i.. ,;,.-;. hi. nnnri. , " cated one contract covering aoout 200 haloa nf 1942 rron remilar zuo oaiM oi i crop regular seeded hops was consummated during the past week at 38 cents per pound to growers, an advance of 1 cent per pound over simi- lar contracts written during the nrpvinin wppk ' coia weauier in uie xaximavai- ley area was retarding progress of early spring work in the yards there. Growers were not offering to eontract any appreciable quan- titip of 1942 hnn due in the larpp imes 01 nops aue to ine large proportion 01 me crop aireaay un der contract. California hop markets were quiet bat firm as continued light offerings tended to offset some farther slackening la demand. Trading in spot hops was re stricted by the almost depleted stocks in first hands and deal ers and Industries were being forced to draw current needs from other areas or from sap plies accumulated earlier In the year. Somewhat slower interest was shown in 1942 hops for future de- ,. . . . ... livery ana cuniracis were iimiiea to 250 bales of regular seeded hops at 37 cents per pound net growers. This, was regarded as the market at the close of the week although most dealers were not actively in! the market for additional quanti ties." The New York hop market main- s 1 -.! m: ujcu m iuick uui luui wne, wiui prices steady and unchanged. Some sales of 1941 hops were reported but the few remaining lots are being closely held. Some activity was reported on futures in Ore gon and Washington. Quotations on 1942 hops range from 37 cents to 38 cents for regulars and 47 cents down" to" 38 cents " for seed less qualities. On March 25, regu lar 1941 crop hops, were quoted to the trade at' New York at 47 cent-49 cents; seedless at 57 cent- 59 cent, per pound, with other Stocks nominal. , . - .
