Pivotal 'steels, motors and util ities attracted, the principal bid ding - in contrast to , the recent ' heavy demand for so-called "pen ny". issues. The direction was ir- ' regularly, upward at the start and : bidding became more insistent by Tmid-day.

C Donaldson, ex ecutive assistant, A 50 per cent expansion in production of hairy vetch and common - ryegrass is wanted to fill the needs of south ern states', growers. : and . of the British, who have asked for Ore gon ryegrass seed to increase their livestock production. . . Definite acreage goals have been established for Willamette 'vetch and Austrian winter peas Donaldson - said. Growers . of these two crops are advised to ' contact their county AAA com mittees " for individual .farm goals, as only the production from the goal acreage win be eligible for sale to the govern ment In 1943.

"Oregon farmers have made substantial contribution to the war effort with this year's record pro duction of cover crop seeds," Don aldson , said. "Southern farmers, unable ; to obtain enough nitrate fertilizers, are dependent on cover crops to maintain production of war-needed food and fibre crops. Oregon, the principal source of supply, has sent south a veritable avalanche of this essential seed. Hairy vetch is giving the best results In the . southern" states' cover crop prrgram, reports In dicate. This explains the request for a 50 per cent increase in pro duction of that seed crop. Grow ers who expand plantings will be assured of a market. All hairy Vetch grown by AAA cooperators may be sold to the government at prices based on 10 cents a pound for top. grade, said Donaldson. .

Traders attrib uted buying on the-rally to Wash ington reports that ceilings on cereals inay not be imposed for the time being. There were. also Indications that ceilings on flour, principally affecting wheat and rye, may be revised, - while "some ? traders ex pressed belief that limits on rye flour, would. have: less ' effect on that cereal than V in , the case of wheat.

However, because of lh ceiling on flour traders said the ability of the market to function may be impaired. . - Poultrymen Make Plans Oregon poultry raisers are ex tending ' themselves .'. to '" produce every egg and every pound of meat possible with their facilities.
