:- Statement of Dividend
; Brings Rise; Steels
, 5 Lead Losing Trend
NEW YORK, May 20-W)
, American Telephone put a; little
" sunshine in " an " otherwise drab
; stock market Wednesday, push
ins up ZVi points on the com
: pany'g announcement of the usual
luarterly dividend of $2.25 a
lhare. ,
To many in Wall Street the divi-
lend declaration by the tag com
nunications company was unex
tected good news. For many
I weeks there had been much talk
Jhat mounting taxes might force a
. cut in the 9 annual rate paid
the last 20 years,
But far from following Tele
phone the market generally moved
In step with the steels which were
on the defensive throughout The
losses in US Steel, Bethlehem
and Youngstown sheet ran to a
point' or more and all entered
. new low ground for a year or
longer. - ;
In rubbers, t- aircrafts, farm
equipments, coppers, rails and in
. d us trial specialties moderate de
- dines were the rule. Motors and
' merchandising stocks held up wel
and Pupont added 2 points.
j. The Associated Press 60-stock
' average recorded a net decline of
.1 of a point at 33.8. The rail
composite was down .3 of a point.
. Transactions were Hhe largest in
Dearly a month at 405,460 shares
'. against 376,780 Tuesday;
Proposed AAA
Changes Have
Wartime Basis
. Comparatively few changes in
the 1943 AAA program are sought
in recommendations proposed by
J 300 Oregon farmer committee-
men and reviewed this week by
the state AAA committee, R. B,
Taylor of Adams, state AAA
chairman, announces.
' The state recommendations,
based on action of the state AAA
conference and the results of
questionnaires filled out by coun-
. ty and community committeemen
last month, demonstrate that the
present farm program is adapt
able to wartime as well as peace
time adjustments, Taylor said.
The changes sought, mostly de
signed to give greater assistance
to farmers in meeting Food for
i Freedom production goals, place
greater emphasis on pasture im
provement, weed and rodent con
trol,! . and simple conservation
methods of farming needed to
keep soils in condition for top
production j for ! the duration of
the war.
" One, proposed change would en
courage growers to utilize legume
straw left on the land after seed
crops are harvested, by discour
aging burning of such crop resi
dues. High-In plant food content,
legume straw has become more
important for its fertilizer value
since nitrates have become scarce,
Taylor said.
Maintenance of the present al
lotment system for surplus crops
and continuance of the provision
requiring that 20 per cent of a
farm's cropland be devoted to
soil conserving, uses were also
' asked. i
Use of lime has developed to
'the point where existing lime
plants In the state cannot keep
' up with the demand and are now
10,000 tons behind on orders from
fanners, the state committee
learned. Continuance of the con
s e r v a t,i o n materials program,
which provides for distribution of
lime and phosphate in lieu of
AAA payments earned, was rec-
ommended for its contribution to
" pasture improvement and increas
. ed milk production.
Adoption of a modified "honor
v system" whereby farmers would
, report their own compliance with
' the program and performance of
practices was also recommended
by the committeemen.

Is Nervous
CHICAGO, May 2(HJrGraia
prices bobbed up and down in a
very nervous market Wednesday
but wheat managed to close with
fractional net gains after having
been off about cent at one time.
The market's nervousness was
blamed largely on light trade, with
minor transactions easily affecting
prices. Uncertainty regarding sen
ate action on disposal of govern
ment-owned surplus grain also
unsettled the trade. 'After the
close the senate tentatively ap
proved sales for feeding purposes
at less than parity prices.
wheat was up as much as a cent
in the final hour but closing fig
ures were only Va- higher than
Tuesday, May $1.19, July $1.21-
Corn finished unchanged
to up, May 85, July 88y4-;
oats H- lower; soybeans 1
2 "down; rye off to up;
lard unchanged to 3 higher. At
times wheat, corn, oats and rye
were at or near lows for the past
several months.
Buying of wheat was inspired
partly by the fact that prices are
substantially below the 1942 loan
rate. Sales of 15,000 bushels to
outside mills resulted in some lift
ing of hedges and spot prices
were cent higher.
