12 hours to dry a kiln, each xiln
holding around 20 tons.
A number of other mechanical
driers, built for grains, have been
and are being installed in the
Willamette Valley in the past
two weeks. Among those com
pleted or upon the verge of being
finished, a rapid survey Tuesday
showed, were those at Donald,
Amity, Derry, Dallas and Mon
mouth warehouses. There may be
others as well. Most of those built
for grain drying take from 25 to
40 ton per day.
Costs vary from $4 to $8 a ton.
This, the operators as well as the
farmers admitted, "eats a big hole
in an already small profit" Har
vesting is $6 an acre. There's also
fertilizer, seed and acreage rent
the latter figured in taxes and
interest if the farmer owns the
land.
Since most warehouses in the
alley are now handling the grain
by bulk in storage bins rather
than in sacks, the moisture con
tent must be considerable lower
or the grain will not keep. Experi
ments ' have ' shown that barley
with a moisture content ' above
115 per cent or wheat with a moi
sture content above 14 per cent
cannot be stored safely. In the
old method of handling grain in
sacks, grain could dry out better
in storage.

24-Acre Site
A 24-acre site for a future grade
school or junior high school for
Salem has been purchased by the
Salem School District northeast
of the city, 'Superintendent Walter
Snyder said Tuesday.
The site, for Which no immediate
plans are in the making, is located
on Satter Road just east of Lan
caster Drive and north of Silver
ton Road. Price fojr the property
was $15,600, Snyder Said.
Purchase of the property brines
to four the numberj of school sites
now owned by the district but
which do not have school buildings.
One is. the - site for the proposed
Candalaria area school, planned
for early i construction. Sketches
of the 12-classroom building will
be presented to the board for ap
proval later this month by archi
tect James L. Payne of Salem.
Two other sites, designed to take
care of . predicted ! expansions in
East Salem and West Salem, have
been purchased but no construe
tion plans have been made. One
is on Royal Street between Center
and State Streets near 20th Street,
the other between Patterson and
Murlock Streets some six blocks
north of the present West Salem
grade and junior high schools.
Completion of the Candalaria
school is exoectedito relieve the

E. Murray, a member of
the Atomic Energy Commission,
called Tuesday for the government
to step up its use of the atom for
peace and start by building a pow
er plant in Japan, first victim of
the atom age. ,
. The federal government, he told
the CIO United Steelwork ers con

electrical power from . the atom
and help power hungry areas of

The hydrogen bomb has given
man the "dreadsorae power of the

can also give him! the richest of
"material blessings" ,
By locating an atom power plant
oa Japan, '"the only land engulfed
in the white' flame; of the atom,"
Murray said the i United States
"would demonstrate to a grim
skeptical and divided world that
our interest in nuclear energy is
not confined to weapons."
He noted that our government

nuclear power reactor, and said
that should be only a start toward
building, reactors in other foreign

"We have on the one side, frus

Murray said there is an ever
growing and dangerous unbalance'
in the fact that the atom is "far
advanced in the weapons field
but is "not yet very far down the
road to peace." For that reason
the nation should take the lead in
pouring "the energy- of the atom.
as soon as possible, into peaceful
and constructive paths. :
Murray warned that the mount
ing stockpiles of atomic weapons
in the United States and the Soviet
Union by their very existence car
