Tho Start rarrcu Sclem. Oregon, Sandfly. October 21. 1951 Soil Condition Excellent in Valley Area By Lillie L- Madsen Farm Editor, The Statesman "It's working up good," is the comment of scores of farmers who , have been preparing the soil and seeding their fall crops in re cent weeks frequently between showers. Over and over fanners have been commenting this fall, that the soil is in excellent condi tion for working. Reports from throughout the state are that fall seeding Is now well advanced. Dryland pastures re again green and sheep and cattle, held through the summer. re fattening up. j ' Harvests are being completed with walnuts, filberts, apples and pears. Completed reports on pro duction of prunes in the northwest how a total of 95,500 tons on fresh . basis. While this is about double the output of the same ter ritory in 1950, it is still well be low the 1949 crop. Late spring frosts were mainlv held responsi for the relatively light crop produced this year, altthough in some districts trees have not yet overcome the severe winter dam aged 1949-50. -r Aside from -sizes averaging a little smaller than usual, the west ern Oregon crop of prunes was f quite, good quality. Dried prunes, which some years go made up the great majority of all processed prunes in the northwest, fell to. about 5,100 tons this year. This is somewhat above the mount dned last year, but gain well below the 1949 output o 9.400 tons dried prunes. On the other hand California dried more than 175,000 tons of prunes in 1951. Oregon's potato crop is down this year about one-fourth less than last year and one-sixth less than the last five year agerage. A check on early plantings here In the Willamette valley show that more wheat is being planted in this so-called non-wheat grow- tnt area, than has been planted for some years. Farmers who have grovm considerable barley in re cent years, report they are seed ing winter wheat this fall. Most of the fallgrass and pasture - planting was completed this week. After the middle of the month, pasture seeding of grasses is. not considered safe, The filbert crop, pretty well harvested, is a little below early eeasow estimates. Harvesting of wmlnuts is well underway. Hill farmers are reporting that rams came, in fine for the straw berry fields this fall.

Army Rebuked For 'Classifying' Phone Numbers WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 -V enator Knowland (R-Cahf) to day criticized the army for classi fying as "restricted" ( secret) a list of telephone numbers issued ai ine xaita coherence in 1945. Knowland said in a iaiab mnvh that he once asked the army for a copy or the list carrying the xaua phone numbers of the vari ous delegates attending th mn ference. Much later, he said h got a letter from the armv &avinc ine list haa been found. The letter was marked "restrict ed" and so was the list when he finally received it. Knowland said. iie Tom a rexiorter iatr mn. sidered the secret classification the heighth of absurdity " In his speech, he had called it an "ex treme case" of how far some gov ernment agencies go in, as he put it, giving secret classification to documents remote from national security. Mayor G reets Princess With Ann i Sling !'. ' - . . . VANCOUVER, B.O, Oct 20 - (CP)- . Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip were all sympathy for Mayor Fr$d Hume today. He met the royal visitors with his right arm in a sling. He broke it Thursday during a royal event rehearsal. : Princess Elizabeth was r resent ed with! a sterling silver nimrh bowl by the city of Vancouver. George Grtramond, 59-year-old native of Edinburgh, Scotland, was the engraver. It is a bowl of snun silver with the skvline of Vancouver engraved on its sur face. ' j - ' ' f Practically the whole of Van couver's police force was on royal tour duty. There was one jarring note. Direction of the royal pro cession by police radio was in terrupted by a holdup alarm from a bank. But the all-clear came within a few minutes. It was a false, alarm.' Many of the people who came to see tne royal couple were an noyed by the flags waved by spec tators. .?' ' - . . - - Most of the small Union Jacks carried a label: "Made In occupied Japan' 7 7 ; As the procession rounded a corner a little boy" waved his flag with might and main until he saw their royal highnesses and then with a voice containing just a mite of disappointment, he said to his mother:- "But I thought Santa Claus had white whiskers." The Princess wardrobe has been kept such a well-guarded secret that Vancouver inadvertently pulled a boner with the bouquet presented at city hall. The bouquet was an arrange ment of purple orchids and ste- phanotis. The princess was wear ing striking cherry red. Women in the crowd said the purple orchids clashed horribly.

(Story en page one.) , , , Northwest's Grain Shipment Said Rising SEATTLE, Oct 20-P-The Pa cific Northwest advisory board said today grain shipments in the Pacific northwest, as reflected in freight car loadings, were higher during the first nine months of this year than at any time since 1944. F. T. Westmeyer, secretary, said heavy export commitments caused the rise. Car loadings of grain in the area served by the board totaled 64,808 through September. Ship ments in the same period last year were 43,543 cars. Westmeyer said car loadings of logs also were up this year over last, despite critical fire weather which caused frequent closure of logging operationos through the summer. Fruit shipments were down somewhat because of a light ap ple crop. j , WTTHAM HOME FROM TRIP , PRATTJM Theodore Witham has returned from a trip to She! don, Wis, where he visited his sister, Mrs. : Ralph Sutton, and family. ,' Saturday-Sunday Special Mums in full bloom ....

O, Oct 20- (CP)-The rain felL but it didn't wet down Vancouver's welcome for its; royal guests. A soaking, rain was showering down f during the ' afternoon as Princess . Elizabeth and Prince Philip ; went through the city streets. It was the first time they had run into rain for a parade on their transcontinental tour. . But the crowds huddled in slick ers, or standing bareheaded, gave the royal pair the warmth of re ception for which this bustling "Gateway to the Orient is noted. There were between 300,000 and 400,000 lining' about 20 miles of sidewalks for the different drives of the royal pair through the sea port city, some dry and some wet at various times. It was just cloudy and mildly cool in- the morning for the arrival, and then the rain came f along , for the afternoon doings. For 1 the royal pair, it was a quieter reception than they had received at Calgary, the last big city where they visited Thursday. Here, the people were boisterous and happy, but they were strung out more over the miles of route rather: than Jammed into single points. i A . broken-armed . mayor wel comed them. Mayor Fred Hume had his right arm in a sling when he did the honors at city halt He had fallen during a rehearsal for the lacrosse game the pair saw tonight ; After the mayor's presentation of a silver flower bowl to Eliza beth and Philip, they " almost walked out of city hall without, it.
