BUTTER PRICES
SOME HIGHER;
EGGS FIRMER
Portland, Ore., Feb. 21. (P) But
ter prices took slight Increases at the
meeting of the dairy exchange,
prime firsts advancing a cent and
all other grades rising half a cent.
Eggs were also somewhat firmer,
but the only change was a cent ad
vance in the quotation on standard
firsts Supplies of both butter and
eggs were large, but. demand con
tinued heavy and offerings were well
absorbed.
Announcement by F. J. Dixon,
manager of the co-operative egg as
sociation, that they would hereafter
sell eggs to retailers at one cent
above exchange quotations brought
matters to a head which have been
brewing for some time. It is said
that Independents have been pay
ing no attention to dairy exchange
prices of late and that members of
the exchange have been at a disad
vantage as a result. The action of
the association is expected to result
in numerous resignations from the
exchange today which may mean
that the exchange will practically be
dissolved, at least as far as a price
fixing body.
On the country dressed meat mar
kets, trading was of a desultory
character today with prices quotably
steady but movement of most classes
nominal. The same condition pre
vailed in the poultry division with
slightly easier trading tone notice
able.

GROWERS STAND
BY ETTERSBURG
BERRIES HERE
Some new plantings of Ettersburg
strawberries are reported by County
Fruit Inspector Van Trump, who
states that quite a considerable new
acreage of these hard canning
strawberries is being put out in the
Qulnaby and North Howell sections
north and northeast of town. No
new soft strawberries are being
planted that he knows of. While
constant experiments are being
made and constant efforts put forth
to discover some sort of a variety
of strawberry which will hold up
with the Ettersburg In the can, so
far none of these has met with ap
proval and it Is still the "121" va
riety that stands ace high with the
canners.
The county inspector reports that
the strawberry weevil is cettine
fairly well under control. He states
that in the North Howell section
they are using poison bait effective
ly during the blooming season and
coupling this with rotation has
worked some fine results toward
solving the weevil problem.
The crown borer, however con
tinues to do heavy damage, and
while not as bad as some years ago
is still bad enough to work a heavy
narasnip on many growers. The
only method of combatting the
ground borer seems tC be rotation
and not to plant too continuously In
one section.
He cited the Chemawa section
which used to be one of the best
in this region but the borer grad
ually got so bad there that it be
came necessary to virtually quit the
strawberry game.
He states that uo to now no bait
has been found which can be used
effectively against the crown borer.
He states that as the moth which is
parent of the borer lays its eggs on
the plant, there Is no way to poi
son the young grub as he gets into
the plant, and the one way to take
care of the borer when started is to
destroy the plant, and this nroves
effective only when next plantings
are maae on new sou.
PRUNE MARKET IS
TO BE CLEANED OUT
The prune market continues firm

recent advances In prices have been
maintained and 30s are a trifle
firmer this week than last, other
sizes being quoted at this writing
me same as last weet mere are
few. If any other changes In the
dried fruit list this week as com
pared with last, the recent price
advances being well maintained.
Peaches and apricots are firm at
present lists. Pears are pretty well
nunc ana ngs are steady lor what
there are. EvaDorated annles nri, if
anything, a little firmer this week
and are pretty generally quoting
upon the basis of last week's maxi
mum figures.

SENIORS TO PRESENT
'CHARM' APRIL 27
Miss Leila Johnson; coach of the
senior class play at Salem high
school this year, announced this
morning that John Kirkpatrlck's
play, "Charm," has been chcosen lor
presentation by the seniors on the
evening of April 27. The play in
cludes 14 characters and Miss John
son will make her cast selections
next month.
"Charm" Is a new play as it was
given for the first time in 1926. Sa
lem high seniors were squired to
pay a high royalty to secure the
rights for presentation here. The
play, Miss Johnson says, deals with
a small town girl who wishes to go
to the city against family opposition.
A comedy In three acts, with good
lines and plenty of laughs, is built
around the results of a visit to the
community of a man who sells a
book on "Charm." The "Charm"
book works wonders for the girl's
boy friend and their families and
she decides to remain in the small
town after all.
