This season with eggs practically at the highest price in many years for ice house movement, there appears . more than the normal tendency to purchase. On the dairy exchange there was no change in the price list for the late session. In fact there Is lit tle change in the price of eggs In the country generally. Whatever changes are noted are usually frac tional advances, There was no change in the but ter market situation for the day. All prices were stationary for the late session of the dairy exchange while along' the coast generally well sustained values are shown. But ter fat is firm here at the late ao vance. Evidently the heavy hen market Is destined for a break Inasmuch as present offerings are of much greater than normal volume. All other classes of chickens and other poultry are firmly priced. With lambs Just about holding their own at late shaded prices, the general market for country killed , and alvM annears fully steady. Beef Is scarce and In good demand.

AN FRANCISCO FRUIT San Francisco (ft Federal State Market News Service Apples: Calif. Newtown Pippins, fancy cold storage (Continued from Page 1) EXPERTS VARY WITH LOCALITIES ON FRUIT CROP Surveys of the fruit sections with estimates based upon blooms and an early setting of the fruit indicate an approximate yield of 50 per cfint in both the prune and the cheery orchards with conditions oadiy spotted, growers are reporting. Strawberries and loganberries in general will probably yield a nor mal crop win the estimates, ex cept in certain sections, slightly un der the crop of last year. In the Zena district, north 01 sae lem on the Wallace road n Polk county, Frank Crawford, orchardist, anticipates the heaviest prune crop In the last three years with a high yield. The blossoms were white this year and heavy while in the last, two years the blossoms nave been yellowish and lighter. Cherries here as elsewhere are spotted with some orchards expecting to yield a good crop and others a light tonnage. More strawberries than last year is the prediction of Crawford as the blooms this year apparently escap ed the frost. While the gooseberry bloom was not particularly heavy a good yield is anticipated. George vlck this week made a rough general survey of the orchard sections and finds that there will be more prunes than were expected earlier In the city and predicts a 50 percent crop of good quality. Both the high and lowland cherries are spotted with the yield estimated slightly under 60 percent and the black varieties not to exceed 35 per cent. Reports from the Dallas section received by Frank Brown, of Salem, vary from 20 to 50 percent with the trees in the foothills heavily load ed. The" valley will not exceed 50 percent in any orchard he believes while the cherries are running from 10 to 50 percent depending upon the location of the orchard. Canneries are not yet ready to voice an estimate but from what he has seen and heard, W. G. Allen, of Hunt Bros., expects a good yield of both strawberries and loganberries, with both a little lower yield than last year, HIGHER MONEY TEMPORARY FILTER BEDS EXPECTED TO CLEAR UP CITY WATER Cross Section Filter Bed. V V Lateral Ti'es O"'"1 FiPe " Pipes To CiTj town asking the council to save some public money and no end of annoyance by not installing them. When the council met Monday night the health and police com mittee had discovered that the lowest bid was $4000 and that the appropriation for the purpose in the budget was only $2450, for this reason the committee recommend ed that all bids be rejected. Everyone thought that was the bend of the matter, so when the pe titions were introduced protesting against the expenditure they were not read, but merely received and placed on file. But a little later Alderman John son, chairman of the committee, moved that the city recorder be in structed to ask for new bids on sig nals for four intersections, and the motion carried. It is presumed that the bids on four will be within, or come a little nearer to the ap propriation. However, that appropriation is an interesting item. To make a place for It in the city budget it was necessary for the ways and means committee to deduct that amount from the police appropriation, de priving the department of one of ficer and cutting down the general department allowance. How the city is to pay for its usual addi tional officers for special duty dur ing the summer conventions and the state fair is left with the gods. The intersections where thj com mittee now proposes to install the traffic control equipment are State and Commercial, State and Liberty, State and High and Court and Liberty. in the meantime the petitions 01 protest will continue to go the rounds. SAG IS GENERAL New York () The cloud of higher money rates hung over the stock market again Tuesday and prices generally lost ground despite the sporadic efforts of pools to bring about a general r.liy. Ralls displayed a fairly firm undertone in reflection of the favorable St. Louis and OTallotn decision but the Industries and public utilities encountered further selling pres. sure. Several Issues gained a few points in the buying movement that got underway late. Commonwealth Pawer, Packard and General Elect ric sold 4 to 8 points above yes terday's close, while Anaconda, Wcstlnghouse and United Aircraft rallied 4 to points from their low figures. The closing was Irregular, sales approximated 4,300,000 shares. BUS FRANCHISE AWARD HELD UP ONO'HARAPLEA A protest by Alderman O'Hara caused the city council Monday night to defer until the next regular meeting final consideration of the new franchise for the Southern Pa cific street bus system. O Hara's main objection was that the measure gives the Southern Pa cific company an exclusive franchise. He said that the people 01 his ward are against it, because they are now enjoying competition In street trans portation that affords a lower rate than would oe enecuve unaer tne exclusive franchise. O'Hara also contended that under the ordinance the city would not re ceive a just compensation from the company for wear and tear on streets. This would be only $25 per bus, he said, or a total of $225 a year. If the company paid on the same basis that stage lines pay for use of the highways, namely three fourths of a mill per passenger mile, he said the amount would be $2500 or $3000 a year, which he believed would be more nearly equitable. O'Hara moved that It be deferred and Wilkinson seconded the motion. STRAWBERRIES IN FROM LOCAL FIELD First crate of lcoolly grown straw berries appeared in the Salem mar ket Tuesday morning. The berries, said to be excellent in flavor, were grown by P. O. Widner at Wheat land Ferry. They will retail at 45 cents for two boxes. Quantity supplies are expected within the next week, according to several Salem dealers. Strawberries from California, 1 little green in appearance, are re tailing in a few instances at 25 cents for two. Other better offer ings are quoting a few cents higher, to 15 cents per box. No southern Oregon berries were reported in the local market, chiefly because of the high prices asked by growers for first arrivals. CHOIR TO APPEAR Silvcrton.

Osborne. Mrs. A. W. Newby and Mrs.-H. H. Allen left early Monday morning for Medford where they will attend the grand lodge of Rebekahas and Odd Fellows which convenes there this week. Officials and engineers of the water company are pinning their hopes of ridding Salem water of Its discoloration and unpalatable taste through use of temporary filter beds, as illustrated above, which are under con struction at the island Intake of the system, "A" Indicates the present pond, fed by water from the river through the chlorlnation plant and in take pipes, and from which the water filters down Into the old cribs In dicated In the lower right hand corner. Contamination of the filter material and the old cribs are believed responsible for the present condition. Through construction of the dyke (C) the upper half of the pond will be completely separated from the lower, and the lower half will be Ulizcd as a settling basin, with the levee (B) placed to causo a rotary circulation of the water before U In diverted Into the three filter beds (1, 2, and 3) completely cut off from the rest of the pond and from each other by dykes. On the bottom of the excavated beds lateral tiles (D) are being laid to connect with trunk tiles (E) and over these will be placed a filter of thoroughly washed sand, medium gravel and coarse rock, as Illustrated by the "cross section" drawing In upper left hand corner. Water diverted from the settling basin will be fed through a sluice along the upper side of the filter beds and spread over the surfaces of the beds through which it will filter down to be collected by the tiles and carried Into the outlet pipe line and thence Into the suction lines which carry (he supply across the slough to the downtown pumping plant for distribution through the system. When the filter beds are placed tn use the old cribs will be cut off entirely at the gate valve Indicated In the drawing, and the city will be supplied with water through a complete new system. N.

Elliott, president of the further proceedings against the corporation. Action to suspend company followed McComant's pre- mentation and the reading of a let ter from W. B. Morse, member of the state board of health, approv ing the temporary filter system be ing installed at a cost in excess of $12,000. Expression of the opinion of the council's special water committee that a test of the new filter svstem should be permitted before further action Is taken by the city was con tained In the motion of Alderman Thompson, member of the com mittee, that further proceedings tie held in abeyance.

The permanent filter will oe or tne latest and most approved type, it is asserted. Further expenditures will be made on extensions of the distrib uting system and enlargement of the reservoir. KALE FIELD ON MADSEN FARM Brush Creek The kale field which is now In bloom on the Vic tor Madsen farm on Paradise roo4 is attracting a great deal of atten tion am, comment. The field con-, tains four acres and has an excel- lent stand, many of the flowed stalks reaching as high as eight, feet. In 1908 M. J. Madsen began grow-; Ing kale seed for wholesale flrmf at Portland. Every year Mr. Madsei selected three or four of his flnesC kale plants from his entire field These plants he used for his parent seed stock. By this method of selec tion he developed an unusually fini strain of 1000-headed kale. In 1026, when Mr. Madsen died, his son took over the kale seed growing and has continued to grow it since. Usually kale is seeded in seed rows in May or June and replanted in July or August into the field. Last year Mr. Madsen tried a new experiment which he found so suc cessful for putting in a largo field, that he Just completed sowing hia' 1930 crop by the same method. He used a corn planter, placing four or five seeds in each hill in the per manent field thus doing away with the resetting job. Mr, Madsen says that the Wil lamette valley is nn excellent plac in which to grow kale. During the twenty-one years it has been grown on the Madsen farm only twice, has it been frozen.
