The advance in rye gave strength to oats and helped hold wheat steady despite an almost ' non-existent demand. All grains had started lower and early trade was extremely light. Rye closed firm near the day's highest prices and 1 -2 cents -. a bushel higher than Saturday's finish, September $1.00--, . wheat higher, September $1.44," and oats - up, Septem ber 7ktt. ; Early-weakness in grains was attributed to downturns in secur ity prices, uncertainty over plans for a roll back of food prices, and some confusion and uneasiness over the implications behind! the - ' recall of the Russian ambassador to the United States. : Demand for rye was hot broad, - but it found a slack market which ..' was easily influenced. : Purchases by eastern houses, which only re cently were - determined - sellers, found few offerings availebl and prices rose- rapidly in conse quence. Some of the buying was due to the belief that rye may supplant, wheat in distillery op erations in the making of alcohoL Hhipping demand for cash rye was at the usual slow pace. . v Wheat held within a narrow range with the action of rye about the only influence. An early de cline was followed by a little buy ing, mostly by mills, and , prices barely got above Saturday's clos . ing levels. Distillers were report ed buying cash wheat here while the Commodity , Credit corpora tion continued to purchase cash wheat in Minneapolis. ExPoliceman Sues Accident Board LEBANON Marion Harnett, for several years a member 1 of the Lebanon city police force un til his resignation last year, is suing the state industrial acci dent commission. He maintains that he suffered a double injury while working for the city. In 1933 he says he was injured while arresting a drunken person and that back injury was aggra vated when in 1941 he was struck by the community Christmas tree which fell across East Sherman street, as he was directing traffic at the intersection of Main and East Sherman. Pum new Straw to Be rHay Stretcher" Both grain and legume straw is going to be worth mire to Ore gon farmers this yearihan it has been for a long time; the Oregon State extension specialists in soils, farm crops and animal hus bandry all agree. - . Because of the relatively, short hay supply in comparison io the large animal , population, more farmers will ; be saving legume straw and to a certain extent grain straw to use as a fliay stretcher.'' For any, straw not so saved the best use possible to be made of it is to see that it is re turned to' the soil either to be plashed urider or worked, as ) , at ;t4 IhVZ " u-v .SIDVIW -mm- "Strictly Private" ila CJ M,r LrAT ELSE, 9gM H OCT - , : I ' ; . , f i iT-n CCAR AWM:- : DOR INS THE BCrWBJNGS K MSW BEEN WECKEO-.t VJ&S STttJ- LOTS OF 'LOOSE NUTS VROJND. feel pi&wrr kl .
