Sleels Hesitate
NEW YORK, May 28-
Enough profits were cashed on
Wednesday's brisk rally to stem
the" rising tide in Thursday's stock
.market.
Steels and motors, buoyant per
formers of the day before, were
in difficulties. While an assort
ment of favorites managed to
emerge on the advancing side,
rlnsinff declines were well dis-
' tributed.
. The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was unchanged to 34.6.
Dealings tapered off as trends
became indecisive. Transfers of
353.900 shares compared with
433,830 Wednesday.
j. I. Case was up 2 V on two
sales and Allied Chemical
US rubber preferred made a new
year's top with an advance of 1.
Philip Morris tacked on a point.
General Motors came out with
' a net gain of while Chrysler
was off V4. US Steel was down V2
and Bethlehem 1.
American Superpower first pre
ferred, in the curb, jumped 75
points on the offer of the company
to exchange its holdings of United
Corp. preferred for this senior is
sue on the basis of 3-for-l. Em
pire Gas 7 per cent preferred was
up 3, aided by reports plans for
clearing up dividend accumula
tions were about ready. Southern
New England Telephone also
pushed up 3 points. Prices else
where in this market were rela
tively narrow. Turnover here ag
gregated 49,905 shares versus 48,
690 the day before.
Time Past Due
For Spray on
Apples, Pears
DALLAS Apple and pear
growers of Polk county were no
tified to apply the first cover
spray for the control of coddling
moth during the past week.
Growers who do not get the
tpray on in time cannot get very
satisfactory results by making a
later application, states W. C.
Leth, Polk county agent. The lime
to apply these sprays depends
upon when the worms are hatched
as it is necessary to have the
spray on the trees before the
worms are hatched so that when
they start feeding they will be
poisoned before they can make an
tntranee into the small apples.
It is not too late to spray if it
ran be determined that worms
have not as yet started working.
This is true in the later orchards
and it might be well to. spray some
orchards even yet as they have
been later in developing and if
worms have not as ye gained ac-
eess into the apples.
The recommended spray is three
pounds of lead arsenate to 100
gallons of water although lesser
concentration than this can be
used where spraying has been fol
lowed regularly for several years
tmd where coddling moth have
een kept well under control.
It Is very essential, states Mr.
Leth, to completely cover the tree
with the spray and it is important
to get the tops well covered as
ell as the oth .r parts of the tree.
A complete schedule of sprays
lor apples and pears is available on
request at the county agent's of
fice at Dallas.

Farmers Aid
Food Program
DAIXAS Polk county dairy
men are making a definite con
tribution in the Food for Victory
program and already over 500
more, cows are in production than
was true last year.
According to information re
ceived from the county agent's of
fice, of the farms that have cows
on them in the county the aver
age is over eight cows per farm.
All herds that have five cows or
more average over 12 cows per
farm and the larger herds, those
with nine cows or more, average
17 cows per herd.
It now appears that there are
approximately 9000 dairy cows in
production in Polk county.

Day's Gains
CHICAGO, May 28-P)-Losses
amounting to about a cent a bush
el at the extreme in the grain
market Thursday redced much of
Wednesday's late gains.
Many traders who made pur
chases late Wednesday, which ran
prices up quickly, found they had
misinterpreted Washington re
ports concerning farm legislation.
Hedging sales, particularly notice
able in the corn pit in connection
with further purchases of grain to
arrive, contributed pressure and
wheat dealers were reminded that
the new harvest is at hand by re
port of an initial delivery of new
grain at an Oklahoma elevtor.
Wheat was off as much as IV
cents just before the final bell and
closed 4-l cent lower than Wed
nesday, July $1.20-1.20, Sep
tember $1.22-.

Aid Given to
Farmers for
Maintenance
Aid to farmers and household
ers in the maintenance and repair
of their farms and buildings was
extended today by the War Pro
duction board.
J. Fred Bergesch, state prior
ities manager, announced that
amendments to order M-21 and
M-21-B permitted the sale on un
rated orders of fence wire, barbed
wire, poultry netting, fence posts,
gates, staples and corrugated roof
ing and siding.
These items were added to nails,
bale ties and small pipe on which
no priority ratings are necessary
for sales from warehouses and
dealers. The action was taken
since these materials are constant
ly used by farmers in mainten
ance and repair work during the
spring and summer months.
