WHEAT HIGHER
WITH CORN WEAK
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON
As the result of the satisfactory
salea progress and record made to
thia time by the California. Prune
and Apricot Growers association
and tho commercial packers, with
whom agreement has been made
to purchase a material tonnage of
this year's association's deliveries
from growers, a motion waa unani
mously passed by the directors of
tho association the other day, au
thorizing a material increase per
pound over 1924 in the first pay
ment to growers on delivery, and
in detail as follows, says the Cali
fornia Fruit News:
First payment to association
growers per pound, Sunsweet
brand, 20-30s, 12c; 30-40s, 7c;
40-608, 5c; 50-ti0s, B'iC; 60-70s,
4c; 70-8 0a, 3c; 80-90a, 3c;
90-lOOs, 2c; 100-120S, lc; 120
and up, lc. Equality brand ad
vances are c less on all sizes!
down to. and including. 70-KOs. !
and 4 - lss on S0-90s and smaller.
Theso figu-es are on tho five
point, with the customary point
allowances on gradings running
above or below. The Prune associa
tion has Included in "Sunsweet 1
quality what It calls three-district
prunes, being thoso grown in Santa
Clara. Napa and Sonoma districts,
Prune grown in other districts of
Ciilli'ornia to bo called "Calif or-
nias," and serviceable for "Equal
ity" and other than Santa Clara
rjuality brands.
Tho prune association's sales
contract with packers Is with six
teen firms, and the prunes are to be
graded by the association, and sold
and delivered to the packers on
the same gr.-.ding point as Its de
liveries to the trade the associa
tion thereby retaining any packing
blend advantage.
General Manager Parker of tho
Prune association Is very optimistic
over the experiences of this ar
rangement so far, and predicts a
highly satisfactory future for the
whole situation as a consequence.
The full text of the agreement was
authorized to be made public by
the association's board of directors
so that there may be no misunder
standing with tho growers or the
public, which Is an obviously wise
step.
Mr. Parker also states that he
wishes to make It plain for the
Prune association that there is no
truth In the rumor that has found
place in some of the newspapers ot
the stato, of a combination be
tween the association and tho Cali
fornia commercial packers to make
It dl "ficult for growers outside of
the association to ell their prunes
to the packers. Packers have only
agreed with the association not to
buy prunes from Its growers, and
the outside growers stand In ex-
ting the same position as always.
Mr. Parker announces. The asse
rtion has Included in Its agree
ment with the packers for the sale
of prunes of Its members, a para
graph in which the packer uuying
agrees lo not knowingly buy or con
tract any 1925 crop prunes rrmn
any member of tho association,
and wherever ho has reason to be
lieve that such are being deliver
ed lo him he will advise tho asso
ciation of tho fact promptly, nnd
If any prunes are found that should
havo been delivered to tho asso
ciation, they will not bo received
by the packer under this arrange
ment. This, of course, has noth
ing to do with growers outside of
the association, who may Bell to
whomever they please, nnd nnyone
to whom they desiro to sell may
buy. The packers' recognition of
the rights or the association to
prunes of Its members Is accord
ingly merely a recital of a fact
that already existed and with in
tent of a more exact living up to
requirements, which should be liv
ed up to anyway.
Notices of dv.si'Uitlon were filed

ACREAGE
PICKING STARTS
ON FUGGLES IN
VALLEY YARDS
Picking of funics, herald of the
hoppickinK season for the year, hi
getting- well under way today and
by the middle ot the week fuggle
picking will bo on In full blast
over the valley. The Tltuw ranch
near Independence started fuggle
picking Friday, while at Harris
burg picking has been going on for
a week. At tho Ldvesley ranch
near Corvallia fuggle picking start
ed tho first of tho month.
As near as can be learned there
will be plenty of pickers every
where for this hop season and no
trouhle whatever is expected in
finding enough people to satisfac
torily care for the crop.
Picking of clusters will start
about September 1.
Some business Is being dono In
hops, although It may be stated as
a general proposition that orders
are scarce, but are filled as fast as
they come In. Growers are firm.
Hut one contract has been made
on a 20 cent basis, tills for a 40,
000 pound lot of fuggles. Tho av
erage price for fuggles has been
19 cents, while It hae been running
from 17 to 18 cents for clusters.
Conditions still indicate a crop
about like last year and the way the
last year crop sold out and this
year's crop is starting to move,
there is a probability that tho com
ing crop will move out In muh
the same way.
The California Prune and Apri
cot Growers association has an
nounced through General Manager
I'arkcr that settlements are being
made with its growers now, cover
ing all money due through 1923
crop, and that a complete and fin
al settlement for 1924 crop prunes
will be made at an early date. In
addition to this, the early sales of
1925 crop prunes has put the as
sociation In a position to advance
a larger percentage ofthe total
vnlue on their 1925 crop prunes
than has been the custom In the
past, and much of this money will
be paid in cash to the growers on
delivery of their prunes, who will
It is expected get close to $6,000,-
000 between now and Thanksgiv
ing. Mr. Parker tells his-growers
that looking over the situation as
whole, he sees for the pruno in- i
dustry and for association mem
bers In particular, "a much im
proved situation."
PRUNE RETURNS
SATISFACTORY
I PH OTOG RAPHS
OF BULLETS ARE
Washington, Aug. 17. (A. P.)
By working out electrically
timed photographic apparatus, the
bureau of standards has been en
abled to take a new series of pho
tog rap hs of rifle bullets and time
tho release of gas and sound waves
from the weapons used.
The first results of the opera
tions conducted by Philip Quayle
lias thrown light on the theory
of Ballistics, on which militury
experts have worked in develop
ing. Mr. Quayle gets ills photographs
by light of an electric spark which
has roughly a duration of a mil
lionth of a secona. With new and
speedier types of plates, it is thus
possible to get a number of en
tirely separato pictures of each
bullet, though tne projectile in
speeding at the rate of 2700 feet a
second. The sound waves, the dis
turbances In the air from the bul
let's passage end the bluest in the
mullet are recorded in plates. One
of the ordnance theories to fall
before the evidence of the photo
graphs is that the speed of a bul
let from an army rifle increases
for some distance after it emerges
from the muzzle.
The bla:.t of the explosive gases
in ite rear was supposed to accom
plish this acceleration out Mr.
Quakle's photographs show the
projectile drawing swiltly away
from the gns vitnlu a few inches
of tiie muzzle.
Likewise anotner of his photo
raphs "demonstrates the futility
of attempting to silence a revolver
by attaching various contraptions
to the muzzle." A sound wave on
firing was found to be propagating
itself merely from the junction of
the revolver cylinder and the bar
rel, well back of the muzzle.
