It was explained that the effect was world wide nnd not con fined to Englnnd, which was sur prised bv an unexpected rise of two shillings In the price of & 280 pound sack of flour. "The crops there fnlled henvily. o that It Is natural the price should go up a bit," Mr. Crosby Mid.

Op- i Forum Contributions to This Column must bo plainly written on one side of paper only, limited to 800 words In length and signed with the name of the writer. Articles not meeting these spe cifications will be rejected. To tho Editor: In closing the year, Is It possible to offer, via tho Forum, a couple hints Hurt might be of interest to motorists? First, in regard to Traffic Hules: "Would It not be of groat benefit In general to drivers if tho small domes of metal block, slmllhir to those seen in smaller towns, won' placed at Intersections In Salem? AIny drivers "cut corners" when In a hurry, whereas If some dln tlnct work were there, they might hesitate to Ignore It. Secondly: If 'everyone disap proves the "Head-on" parking as does tho writer, It would soon be rejected. However, If everyone will add a rear-view mirror on tho right side of his car at a trifling expense, a great number of acci dents can be prevented, with mere ly the customary left-hand mirror. One cannot get any accurate view of the street townrds which he Is backing his car. A right-hand mir ror Is not costly, but fenders or other repairs are. "How well 1 know It." Tours very truly. D.

Reeding of winter wheat in Oregon this fall appears to bo only about 02 per cent of the acreage seeded a yoar ago, pays P. L. Kent, statistician, United Statea department of agri culture. This estimate Is based on reports received from nenrly 800 farmers loented In nil of tho prin cipal wheat-producing counties of the state. Revised estimates, bas ed upon the results of the 192E farm census, place the acreage seeded to wlntor wheat In tho fall of 1924 at 1,000,000 acres, hence the ncrcnge seeded this fall Is placed at 920.000 seres. Tne condi tion of the growing crop on De cember 1, 1925, was estimated nt 82 per cent of normal, compared with 87 per cent Inst year and a ten year average condition on De cember 1 of 91 per cent. The Washington stato acreage Is ) laced at 955,000 with a condltton of 88 per cent, compared with 1,- 240,000 acres seeded last fall and a condition on December 1, 1924, of 77 po rccnt. Yhe Idaho etntc acreage Is placed at the same fig ures ns Inst year, 478,000 acres, with a condition of 02 per cent com pared with a condition figure of 82 per cent a year ago. WHEAT WORTH $8 IF VALUED AS RUBBER IS Washington, Dec. 29 (A. P.) The best method for the United States to follow In combatting high rubber prices Is to uss a little of the product as possible and to build up Independent sources of supply, Secretary Hoover declared today In commenting on developments growing out of charges against an alleged Rrltlsh rubber monopoly. He added thnt If this country were to sell wheat and cotton In exchange for ruhber, based on the ration of cost of production of rub ber and the price American con sumers are paying for It, the wheat would sell Tor IS a bushel and cot ton at 75 cents a pound. Ixmdtfn The best American burglars are not abstainers. At least, Pussyfoot Johnson has so informed an Knglish journalist In un interview on prohibition. I Portland, Ore., Dec. 29 (A. P.) Ijower temperatures are respon sible for a fulling off In egg pro duction and as a result the local market on freah stock Is displaying a firmer undertone. Today stand ard extras are a cent higher at 36 cents. Other grades are unchanged but showing a stronger feeling. Receipts have fallen off consider abiy during tho past few days and there Is an actual shortage of top quality stock in the fresh market. At the same time blizzards rag ing in the east have strengthened the shipping markets and offered a broader outlet to local dealers. No change Is shown In local but ter quotations for the day and the market continues to show a healthy Lone at current levels. Country d ressed meat arrivals are moderate and the demand more or less limited. There is still a good call for choice light veal at 16 to 16 cents but best dress ed hogs will not bring over 15 to 16 cents. Poultry receipts are lfght. The Market Is bare of all holiday hold overs and the limited arrivals move out promptly at steady prices.

BRIAN D WINS SUPPORT FOR NEW BUDGET (Continued from Page Ono) that took hie adversaries off their ! feet. To the radical ministers who threatened to roslgn and break up the cabinet, he calmly replied: "If you must go, I cannot re tain you, but for my part I shall remain." The deduction from this was that the premier had aG ready pre pared to replace the radicals and socialists In his parliamentary ma jority with groups of the center and right to forestall the socialist congress which is meeting on January 10 to pass upon the quee tfon of a socialist government and socialist participation In a radi cal govornment. M. Briand's move was immediate and extreme. The radical ministers hastened to de clare that" they did not desire to quit. 'Behind the maneuvering on both slues is an apparent desire to mend poltical forces before the dissolution of parliament and new elections which aro being more and more talked of In all the po litical groups. Financial Measure The groups of the left In the chamber already have introduced their financial measure. They muster 2S0 of the 676 votes in the chamber. M. Doumer rejects their plans, insisting that they provide for only a partial solution of the problem and that they like ly would fail even to balance the budget, which still would be sus ceptive to fluctuations of ex change. The finance minister announc ed that he estimated the budget deficit at 8,000,000,000 francs ($352,000,000). He proposed to meet this by Increased Income taxes, reinforcement of the fis cal administration, a tax on Bourse operations, higher prices for tobacco (which Is sold under government monopoly), a tax on exports and "an extraordinary temporary stamp tax on sales." Two billion five hundred mil lion francs of new revenue ($100, 000,000, will go to sinking fund, two billion francs ($80,000,000) to reimburse the Bank of France for advances made to the state and the rest to balance the budget.
