bad much to do with an unuflually
sharp advance today In the price
of wheat. The market hero clos
ed strong at an extreme gain of
elx cents a bushel, July 1.5& to
11.55.
Even highor prices for wheat
were touched on a wavo of buying
just before the finish. The tip top
lor tne day was i.ut4 Juiy uo
llvery, an over-night Jump of 0
cents a bushel.
Chicago. Juno 17 (By Associat
ed Press) The wheat opening, one
cent to 4 cents higher, July
1.E1 to $1.53, and September
11.49 to $1.60, was followed

With almost no holdover on
canned loganberries nnd with fair
Indications of a market for this
pear's pack, Indications are
that the pack on logans will be
considerably larger than 1924, ac
cording to the estimates of local
canners. Tho fruit this year Is of
food size and quality and Is heuvy
with moisture.
The stream of logans coming In
to locnl canneries which has start'
v. during tho week will reach its
usual mldsenson volume sometime
next week, according to the can
ners, and with the likelihood that
strawberries can be finished by
that time, most of the locnl ptnnts
will turn full crews on the logun
job next week. Tho lognn season
In one of the earliest on record, fill
ty two weeks ahead of tho usual
heavy run and lias been something
of a problem for the packers.
Iloports from tho fields Indicate
that at least for tho first of the
season growers will havo plenty uf
pickers ns no difficulty hns been
reported so far in securing workers.

NEXT WEEK SAYS
COLLEGE EXPERT
Spraying of cherry trees against
tho cherry fly should begin the
first of next week If the present
warm weather continues, Is the
warning of Joe Wilcox, professor
of etymology of Oregon Agricul
tural college, who Is spending sev
eral days In this district making a
study of the pest. In company with
Karl Ponrcy, local fruit broker,
Prof. Wilcox made a trip thru the
district Sunday Inspecting cherry
trees and although ho reports hav
ing found only one mat uro speci
men, in one of tho lowland orch
ards, he recommends vigilance be
mnlntnined against the operation
of the pest.
Recent cool and rnlny wenther
has retarded the development of
the pest. Prof. Wilcox declares, but
only a few day a of warm weather
wll' bo required to bring them out.
While in this district he Is nlso
making a study of tho onion mag
got and tho strawberry leaf roller.
J lit strawberry leaf roller is a
new ). .at to this district, he re
ports, and agricultural leaders are
anxious that the problem be res
trained before It gets to a serious
stage. Devastation. of tho roller
havo been reported to the agricul
tural college chiefly from the
Pringlo district.
