BUTTER STEADY
EGGS HOLD UP
MEATS FIRMER
Portland, Ore.. (IP) Market for
butter reflects an undertone much
more favorable than normal
for this period of the season.
While in spote the undertone is not
to good, the pressure as yet has been
Insufficient to force any material
reduction In the price. This la more
plainly Indicated in top score offer
ings than In lower grade but the
market as a whole retains Its former
good feeling.
Market for eggs continues to show
strength In practically all positions.
While quality of eastern Oregon
stock Is deteriorating, western Ore
gon arrivals are holding up well.
Prices are holding up well in the
market for poultry. It now looks as
If the price of broilers had reached
the low point and that other offer
ings would find demand fully equal
to supply.
Practically all arrivals of country
killed lambs were cleaned up over
the week end, leaving the new week
with a clean slate. There appars a
steady demand around recent prices.
With most of the late trading of
top quality at 21 cents pound, and
only a sprinkling of good stuff mov
ing down to 20 cents a pound, the
market for country killed calves Is
showing an unusually good position.
Everything in the country killed
hog market was cleaned up for the
week's opening. Late arrivals have
not been liberal while demand has
taken everything in sight. Most
sales top blockers 16 to-16',4 cents
pound.
Casabas are here and the market
Is In good position. Quality is re
ported unusually good for this time
with sales six cents pound. Honey
dews are offered at $5.50 for stan
dard and $2.50 for flats.
Hot weather has caused a sharp
advance in the price of lemons. A
further liberal advance Is due with
in the next few days. At the same
time there Is a general scramble for
watermelons and cantaloupes, the
latter being advanced. Some dealers
believe that the price of lemons will
soared to a new high mark.
CREAMERY MEN
MEETJUNE 27
Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallls, Oregon A meeting
of the Oregon Creamery
Operators' association has been call
ed for June 27 on this campus by P.
M. Brandt, president of the organiz
ation and head of the dairy depart
ment here.
The main purpose of the meeting
Is to discuss the results of four
months of butter grading, which has
been conducted this year by the
dairy department, and in which
some 40 creameries of the state have
been received every 30 days, analyz
ed chemically and according to mold
and yeast content, then scored by
experts and rescored after being
stored 30 days.
LARGElCREAGE
IN STRING BEANS
An enormous acreage of beans if
(trowing this year up in the West
Btayton country, states P. E. Thom
pson, who was In Salem Monday,
and he declares that an enormous
crop will be harvested as the beans
never looked better. He nas
Idea as to how many acres are In
but states the bean crop is Retting
nretty well consolidated on the sub-
Irrigated section. While most of
the beans are (trowing lor the Ore
gon Packing corporation here, some
will be sent to Silverton and some
to Albany to canneries there. The
beans are under contracts at $75
a ton. and the land will produce,
he states, from three to nine tons
to an acre, with an average of around
five or six.
Thomason states that while flax
will be harvested late this year,
probably in early August, it Is look
ing fine and this has been a good
growing year despite the late plant
lng.
AT 10 PERCENT
New York, iT Beginning of the
mid year call money stringency
today brought a flood of selling in
to the stock market which retarded
but failed to check completely the
recovery in stock prices which has
been under way for more than a
week. Trading showed a marked ex
pansion in volume, due to increased
activities of pools which are count
ing on a huge reinvestment demand
next month.
Many of the popular shares sold
well under Saturday's close when
mil money went to 10 per cent in
the final hour. General Electric
tloodyear Rubber, Johns Manville
and United Aircraft lost from 3 to

WALNUT CROP
LIGHT DOE TO CROP
County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump has veered around on pre
dictions for a big walnut crop and
takes the opposite view as to this
year saying it now looks like a light
crop ahead due to the fact that the
trees have started shedding tneir
croDS badlv.
Tile walnut are going line
everything else, cherries, pears and
other fruits and what looked like a
big crop will turn off into a light
one," he stated. "Apparently there
will be no blight, but something
happened, either some trouble with
pollenlzatlon or some iruit spur in
juries which is causing the nuts to
drop.
SEVEN SPECIAL RISKS
FOUND IN BUILDING
New York (P) Because 10 con
struction workers are killed daily
in the United States, a death rate
higher than any other except the
mining industry, the American In
stitute of Architects has devised a
safety code for construction.
It includes placards for new
buildings pointing out seven kinds
of hazards. These are demolition,
excavations, blasting, flooring,
boards, floor openings, temporary
stairs and scaffolds.
For each the worker Is given
few safety rules. He is advised to'
wear heavy soled shoes and gloves :
as a protection against splinters In
demolition work, not to leave loose
overhanging boards In temporary
Honrs, nor openings without rail- ;
lugs. i
Temporary stairs are to be Unit
securely, and blasting caps should
not be carried in pockets. No care- 1
fill workmen will Jump on a scaf
folding from a higher elevation.
There are several cautions about
keeping out of the way of tilings
falling from above. j

dle of the lawnmower no longer

WHEAT PRICES
BOOM THEN SAG
UPON REPORTS
Chicago (IP Realizing took a
heavy toll from the Rains made by
wheat before noon Monday, as the
selling which followed the uncover
ing of offers forced futures as much
as two cents below the day's high
time. Pinal prices, however, were
strong for the sessicn due to the
heavy buying 01. the sharp advances
weakened corn. Oats were little
changed.
At the close wneat was i w
cents higher; corn was off to
Vi cent and oats were V4 cent lower
to (4 cent higher. Provisions were
unevenly higher and lower.
As a result of the flood condi
tions prevailing in parts of the
southwest, the absence of any gen
eral rains in Canada and the strong
action at foreign markets, there was
a general rush to buy wheat at the
opening dvances up to two cents
were made in the first spurt and,
although prices eased slightly with
the early profit taking, there were
too many bull reports coming from
the spring and winter belts to pre
vent the market from making fur
ther advances during the morn
ing. Cash prices were L to 2 cents
higher. Receipts were 93 cars. -
Traders were inclined to back
away from the buy side In corn be
cause o fthe larger receipts and the
generally favorable crop weather.
Cash prices were unchanged. Re
ceipts were 31 cars.
Oats held around Saturday's clos
ing levels throughout a great pan
of the morning. Cash prices were
unchanged. Receipts were 69 cars.
WOOL GROWERS ASK
DOUBLING OF DUTIES i
(Continued from page 1)
the domestic output amounted to
but a third of the demand.
Termination of the reciprocal
treaty with Cuba was advocated be
fore one sub-committee by Chester
Gray, Washington representative of
the American farm bureau federa
tion ( who said that organization
favored a tax on agricultural im
ports from the Philippine islands.
Many farm organizations, he con
tinued felt that the placing of the
same rates on agricultural products
grown in this country and its col
onies was a mere gesture. Such
duties nullified the benefits domes
tic producers should derive, he said,
adding "this would apply to sugar."
Hagenbarth urged a rate of 39
cents a pound on top waste against
31 cents now and 34 cents in the
bill, 36 cents on garnetted wastes
against 24 and 26; 38 cents on .nails
against 19 and 21 ; 29 cents on
thread or yarn waste against 16 and
18; 36 cents on shoddy and all
wastes not expeclally provided for
for against 16 and 18; 12 cents on
Mungo, a new Item which is duti
able at 10 cents in the bill; 29 cents
on wool rags against 7!4 and 8.
Hagenbarth said a lower grade of
imported waste, which displayed
large quantities of American vir
gin wool, are dutiable at present
at about half rates on cleaned
wool. Should domestic growers be
put on reasonably probitable basis,
the witness said, they would be in
position In ten years to supply
the entire American wool demand.
Hagenbarth said the carded wool
manufacturers undoubtedly would
oppos his proposals for a higher
rate on wool wastes as they con
stituted their raw mateial, but he
felt that growers should be amply
protected from imports of these
products from Asiatic and South
American countries.
These Imports, he argued, were
largely responsible for the fact that
the grower does not obtain full
benefit of the raw wool tariff. The
wool grower, he added, had agreed
to lower rates on wool known in
trade as 44's and in order to help
carded wool manufacturers, although
he foresaw some dangers in these
concessions.
The bill provides a duty of 24
cents a pound on thee grades of
wools, or ten cents less than the
rate on finer grades.
While growers would be satisfied
with a 36 per cent rate on virgin
wool, witnesses said they were en
titled to 40 cents based on differ
ences in cost production here and
abroad.

FRENCHMEN AGAINST
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Paris UP Woman suffrage, 01
which parliament is divided, re
ceived another setback in the Sen
ate. Year after year the Chamber has
indicated Its approval of giving the
ballot to women but the senate nev
er could bring itself to that mod
ern view.
A seven to five ratio vote de
feated the last attempt to bring the
matter to an issue, opponents of
the women inking refuge in the
contention thai, this is no time to
raise such a problem as there arc
other more pressing Issues await
ing solution.
Premier Poincare long has been
friendly to some form of woman
suffrage but he never felt impelled
to make It a primary matter on
which the government would stake
its power or prestige.

STRAWBERRY
PACK BELOW
ESTIMATES
It is safe to assert now that the
strawberry crop In this district will
be quite considerably below early
estimates and canneries have been
running far short to date on their
pack as compared to some of the
immediately preceding years. In fact
not a cannery has been put
ting In any full time to speak ol
and half day runs have been the
rule. It Is expected the peak will
come Wednesday of this week and It
is possible a full day's run may be
put in that day but It Is likely this
will be the only full day's run of the
season, when it often happens that
the canneries not only work full
days for quite a period but some
times put on night shifts to handle
the strawberry situation alone.
Rain and cold weather are con
sidered responsible for the condi
tion. While rain and cloudy weather
hurt the Ettcrbergs as far as the
set was concerned the berries are ol
very fine quality, some of the best
ever seen here.
One of the top notch patches of
Marshalls this year has been the
big 70 -acre planting of W. A. Heat
er in the Union hill country. Not
on' Is this one of the prettiest
patches, but one of the best kept
ranches, everything in spick and
span condition and he has been
producing some wonderful berries
this year under adverse conditions.
These have been handled under a
term contract with Hunt brothers
and It Is understood he will renew
this after it expires next year. He
has had around 120 pickers on the
place and has been delivering from
1500 to 1700 crates a day to the
Hunt cannery for barreling and
frozen pack.
. Three big strawberry buyers from
the east who looked his place over
an well as the other plantings in the
Union hill section declared that
that it was as fine strawberry sec-1
tion as they had seen in all the
northwest plantings and they ex
amined all of them of any import

SPRINGFIELD TIRES
LIBBY CHERRY
OFFER BELIEVED
TO BE BLUFF
A keg of dynamite sets under the
local Royal Anne cherry market In
the shape of a question as. to how
many if any Royal Annes have
been purchased in this locality by
Libby, McNeill & Ubby since George
Gibson, their northwest man, came
through here a week ago or so an
nouncing that Ltbby's would take
all the Royal Annes In sight at
10 cents a pound. It is understood
that since then Libby's buying force,
or a good share of It, has been up
to Its neck in the Rogue River val
ley buying pears there, which in
cidentally have been virtually clean
ed up in the past few days with
over 15,000 tons being bought up
in a sw p made on the valley
by about all the buyers in the
fame,
The situation as to the Royal
Anne cherries here is interesting as
heavy share of the cherries In
this locality have been bought on
open end contracts or contracts call
ing for eight cent minimum price
plus the market. A considerable
quantity has been bought at a
straight 8-cent price.
The 10-cent oiler ol uobys was
particularly interesting as it relat
ed to the open end contracts
which would have meant a 10-cent
instead of an 8-cent price had Libby
established a 10-cent market here.
The question now Is as to whether
It did or not. ii LiDoy nas pur
chased any cherries around here at
the JO-cent price the deals have
been kept rather quiet as none can
be run down.
Inasmuch as it Is the general
talk that 90 per cent of what Royal
Anne ferries there are in the val
ley have already been covered by
contracts there is not a great per
centage of buy yet if Libby gets
very active the last week or so De
fore picking time.
The California Packing corpora
tion, of which the Oregon Packing
company here is a part, has bought
up a lot of cherries at iewiston,
where it has a cannery and also in
the Mi.ton-P.ee water district for
delivery either at its Lewiston or
Its Vancouver cannery. uni
brothers have bought cherries up in
the Wenatchee district which has
always been considered Libby ter
ritory ft having bought there for its
cannery at Yakima. Libby has
bounsht a big wad or cherries at
The Dalles and some at Lewiston
and the Freewater district. The
act that some Salem canneries have
invaded Libby territory for cherries
this year in light of the short crop
here i&inieresting In connection
with the late 10-cent offer from the
Libby company in the Salem dist
rict. As stated there is some explo
sive material under the offer and
subsequent events, and what nap
pens between now and harvest time
will be -7atched with interest.
