All Grains
Take Rise
CHICAGO, May 7.-(P)-All
grain prices were higher Thurs
day, wheat taking the lead with
.; gains of as much as 1 cent at
one stage that lifted quotations to
- highs since-April 13.
'- Corn and rye were up about a
.cent, the former reaching highs
for the past two weeks. Soybeans
' 8dvanced 1 to cents at one
- time. Oats were up fractions ta
: highs for more than three months.
Outstanding strength of beans,
; developing early in the session as
a result of short covering touched
off by upward revision of certain
. cottonseed oil price ceilings, stim-
ulated buying in other pits. Pre
;. vious short sellers were active
covering contracts while mill buy-
v lng and hedge lifting also was in
evidence.
Favorable war news from Mad
' agascar and reports that repre
sentatives of agricultural organ
izations had expressed opposition
' to President Roosevelt's proposal
for fixing a ceiling at parity on
farm prices attracted attention.
Late profit taking reduced the
- gains but wheat closed -l
higher than yesterday, May $1.
22, July $1.25-.

tion said, "We have 800 million

Most of our logging camps are
operating 48 hours weekly and
our mills are running 48 hours
where the log supply will justify

Herbs Spices
Possibility
For V Gardens
Oregon victory gardeners may
have an opportunity this year to
supplement the dwindling supply
of spices front abroad by growing
an herb garden, points out Robert
E. .Rieder, Marion county agent
Most of America's spices came
from the far east With supplies
from there cut off, there is likely
to be considerable need before the
year is over for home-grown ma
terials to take their place.
"Most seed stores serving Oregon
list from seven to as high as 25
different kinds of herbs and sea
soning materials which may be
grown in most parts of the state,
points out Rieder. ; Among these
are parsley, summer savory, basil,
sweet marjoram, dill, nasturtium,
annis, sage, mint thyme, chives,
tarragon and garlic.
Many of the green leafy herbs,
such as parsley, are high in essen
tial vitamins and minerals in ad
dition to their flavoring value.
Parsley is a good source of vita

tities in seasoning. Many of these
herbs can also be dried and stored
for winter use.
Those who- haven't yet started a
farm victory garden, for any rea
son, still have plenty of -time for
growing the principal summer and
fall crops, points out Robert E.
Rieder, Marion county agent At
least 16 plantings of vegetables
are listed for after May 1 in Ore
gon extension bulletin No. 587,
"The Farm and Home Vegetable
Garden."
Once again Rieder is calling at
tention to the importance of plant
ing gardens this year, both for the
value to the individual family and
as a part of the national war ef
fort. Everything points to less food
being available for sale to civil
ians, both because of transporta
tion difficulties and increased de
mands for army and lend-lease
use. A garden pn every farm
means that food will be produced
foir nearly one-third of the na
tion's population right where it
will be used.

Spinach Pack
To Begin at
Woodburn
WOODBURN The Ray-Maling
cannery of Woodburn is scheduled
to begin its 1942 season some
time between May 10 and 15,
when the quick freeze plant be
gins to handle spinach. The can
nery had a short run on rhubarb
Monday and Tuesday.
Carl Huber, superintendent of
the cannery stated that Ray-Maling
had some 250 acres of spinach
under contract this year. Straw
berries and peas are expected to
be ready about May 20.
A labor shortage has not yet
been felt, but may be when the
plant is in full operation. Tenta
tive plans are being made to run
a bus from Silverton through Mt.
Angel to carry cannery workers
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Doud in the Webfoot district. Mrs.
Tom Lyman was complimented
with a shower. The next meeting
will be at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. S. Coomler Monday, May
18.
