May delivery touched ns high as fl.S-l1? a bush el, .is compared wil h $ 1 .77 M the close on Wednesday. The rise was largely In sympathy with ad vance? at Liverpool and Huenos Aires accounts and account of a revival of exoort demand.

Resides ad vices were at hand from the I'nit ed States department of agflrul- lui'ti lb at world wheat supplies at the end of the crop year would be very low. The swift upturn of wheat val ues brought about heavy profit tak lug sales, and thus led to a sud den reiietion.

Pollcnlzutlon of black cherries has become a matter of g.-eat im portanceln this district, since it has been demonstrated by last year s shipments that 8-ilem bla k cherries can go Into any market and compete against the built up reputation of other district and carry away tho painted end of the stick. Last year 52 cars of blaek cherries rolled out of here. Thi year, granted good weather con ditlons, then is every Indication 100 v'urs of black cherries will go out ot this city alone. If the prop er plan of pullenization could be worked out, Karl Pearcy figures that the district would produce 200 tain of merchantable cherries In stead of a possible ono hundred.

The agricultural college has car ried on experiments over a period of years to ascertain Just the remedy for this canditun. It ha been conceded that th? secret lies In la-k of po Unitization, but how to re.redy It has been the difficul ty. The college has worked in other heavy producing sections, largely at The lnlles ur.d Kugeite, because, befure last year, the mat ter was of more vital importance to th:m tha-i the Salem districts because It was from the other dis tricts the big shipments were be ing made. The original tests were made at The Ualles, careful analysts of the situation leading t ho college ex perts to believe they had hit on the secret of the situation. It was found thut the same vurietles are sterile and Interstcrlle that they do not pollenUe from one tree to another, or by themselves. The college experts, after a care ful study of th situa'ioa, decided that a combination of long stem mtd Watcrhouse and PJack Ite puhlleoji tree would turn the trick. This combination was tried cut extensively, but did not bring altogether tho results desired. At Kugtne and The Dalles tests were made two years ago with black Kepuhlicaris as pollenizers, hut this was not altogether satisfac tory. The college authorities have withdruwii their recommendation as to particular varieties ufter the , extensive testa. They did find, however, that certain tref acted as heavy pollenizers, and the pres ent belief la, althojgh not given a a thorjuhly prove 1 remedy, that If wood fs taken from these certain trees that are known pol lenizers the difficulty m..y be set tled. It Is considered cert tin that col Ugo authorities would welcome coming Into any orchards in tliin d .strict during blooming time that nr? troubled m this manner to make tests and endeavor to bring about a heavier pollenisatlon. Cherry men realize that much heavier crops could be secured If the condition were remedied, and with chances -of heavy shipments coming on year after year In the valley It no doubt is a situation 1 that will be Investigated in many orchards during the present season.
