F
Stocks Rally,
Fail to Hold
Modest Gains Unable
To Boost Average;
Airlines Rise
NEW YORK, June l-VThe
lock market Monday started the
new month with a modest w ir ral
ly which, however, failed to hold
In many instances at the finish.
The Associated Press average of
, 80 stocks was unchanged at 34.6.
Some buying timidity was attrib
uted to the fact that this compos
Its was up about 2 points in May
and analysis suggested the list
might be due for a technical rest.
Transfers totaled 308,830 shares
compared with 353,900 last Fri
day.
Lesser gainers included General
Motors, Sears Roebuck, American
Airliner., Douglas Aircraft, West
inghouse, American Can, Anacon
da, US Rubber, Du Pont and US
Gypsum.
On the losing end were Santa
Fe Southern Pacific, Southern
Railway, US Steel, Bethlehem,
Boeing, United Aircraft, Eastman
Kodak and Caterpillar Tractor.
Grains Hit
New Lows
CHICAGO, June M-Down
trends which characterized grain
trading during May continued into
the new .month Monday and the
deferred 'deliveries of wheat, oats
and rye touched new low levels
lor the season.
There was little in the news to
influence the market, which seem
ed to suffer from indifference and
lack of demand rather than any
particular pressure to sell. The
volume was light and the trading
pace slow.
Wheat finished with losses of
2Yt to 23,k cents compared with
Friday's close, July $1.16-,
September $1.19V4-.
Weakness at Minneapolis, where
at times the price spread between
the September delivery at the two
markets was 8 cents, reportedly led
to some selling of wheat here
against purchases at Minneapolis.

Legume Price
Schedule Is
Announced
A liberalized price schedule
that will permit eligible county
producers to sell all grades of
winter legume and annual rye
grass seed to Commodity Credit
was announced yesterday by Rob
ert E. Rieder, acting county agent.
The new schedule provides a
much wider range of grades than
the 1941 program, and permits the
purchase of lower grades of seed
that come within minimum re
quirements. Deductions for each
one per cent that germination and
purity tests fall below require
ments for the top grade will give
the farmer full value for his seed
and eliminate the need for re
cleaning to make a specified
grade, Rieder pointed out.
Prices for the top grades are the
same as announced last fall, when
many county growers sighed
agreements to sell at least half of
their 1942 seed crops to the gov
ernment. Requirements and prices
for top grades, and deductions for
lower grades, were announced as
follows:
Austrian winter peas germin
ation, 90; purity, 90; total
winter legumes, 98; $5 per hun
dred. Discounts for each one per
cent below these requirements are
germination, 7.5c; purity, 1.5c.
Minimum requirements are ger
mination, 70; purity, 70; total
winter legumes, 98.
Hairy vetch germination, 90;
purity 95; total winter legumes,

Sorghum of
Interest to
Many Growers
WALDO HILLS Interest in
growing sorghum throughout the
Willamette valley is being con
siderably enhanced since the ra
tioning of sugar has become a re
ality, according to W. G. Klop
fenstein, owner of the one and
only sorghum mill in the local
community.
Mr. Klopfenstein tells that sor
ghum for table use has been a
popular delicacy for many years
in various parts of the United
States, especially in the south, but
it has been only a comparatively
few years since the syrup became
a favorite sweet in the western
part of the country. "
After many years experience in
sorghum making, the late M. J.
Klopfenstein, with two of his chil
dren started a mill near Silverton
in the fall of 1933 and since that
time sorghum cooking has been a
permanent affair each fall in the
local community.
Seed, according to Mr. Klopfen
stein, can usually be obtained at
seed stores, but for several years
the mill management has fur
nished seed to growers in order to
assure the growing of locally pro
duced seed of the most desirable
variety. The seed needs acclima
ting to produce its best in this sec
tion of the country.
Klopfenstein also gives the in
formation that about two pounds
of sorghum seed is used to an acre.

It may be planted as late as the
10th of June. It is best planted in
rows about three feet apart ancf in
hills ""about 16 inches apart with
from four to seven seeds in each
hill. When plants are large enough
the ground is cultivated much as
corn ground is cared for.
Harvesting is invariably done in
October, preferably before the
first frost, says Mr. Klopfenstein.
Sorghum seeds need not be ripe
to make -the best syrup which
really is an advantage when har
vesting time may be a matter of
chance to get at it. Harvesting
the cane consists of stripping off
leaves, removing seed heads, cane
near the ground and tying in bun
dles. Each grower who halls his cane
to the local mill, furnishes con
tainers for his finished sorghum.
This year, Mr. Klopfenstein warns,
it will be important to accumulate
containers well in advance of har
vesting time.
Mr. Klopfenstein said that new
growers had best experiment with
no more than an acre. While sor
ghum grows readily, it is advis
able to test the ground out with
an acre before going into heavier
plantings. c
