PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOUKNAL, SALEM, UKEUUN THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1929 EGG QUALITY IS BETTER. VEAL SHORTAGE FELT Portland, Ore. (IP) Quotations on butter and eggs remained unchanged here. Dealers say the market on all dairy produce probably will re main about where it is for the re mainder of the month unless some unusual development results. The cool weather of the past two day. has done much to increase the qual ity of eggs. It takes but two or three days of real ho: weather to make a decided difference in the offerings. Butter production is holding up well this season, principally be cause of favorable production wea ther. The unusually cool summer, taken as a whole, has been a lav- cable factor in keeping produc tion at a high level. Portland price." compared with other centers, are lirm. to say the least. There Is a shortage of first class country killed veal on Front street. Other qualities are in better supply The demand for number one atul. Is keeping the price firm. Country killed beef is moving slowly on the Front street market. Prices are holding, but there Is little doing. Egg receipts are continuing to hold at a good level. Warmer weather has decreased the quality but they still are better than usual for this time of year due to the comparatively low temperature. There has been no new develop ments In the poultry market for some time. Prices are holding firm and demand about equals supply. There have been relatively few heavy hens offered due to the un usual length of the laying seacon First quality tomatoes from The Dalles were easier on Thursday's market. Quotations to the trade were $2.75, off a quarter. Decreased supply of halibut has firmed the price up considerably. The salmon run In the Columbia river has been consistent and slight ly above normal. Prices are steady. There was only nominal supply of crabs in the market Thursday. The closed season in Washington has cut down the supply and the mar ket is very firm at $2.50 to $3.50. depending on size. STEIWER TELLS ABOUT HOOVER'S FARM BOARD Portland, Ore tVP Frederick Stel wer, United States senator from Oregon, In Portland Thursday for a visit, said Oregon did not get a berth on the federal farm relief commission because It did not have a powerful marketing organization to back any candidate It might aelect for the job. The senator declared there was neither geography nor politics con sidered by President Hoover when he selected members of the board to constitute a group created when he signed the farm relief measure. "Oregon has taken only a limited part In marketing." Senator Stel weer said, "and the president in making the appointments took In to consideration the large co-operative associations. "President Hoover permitted those who have been engaged In market ing to select their own board. When I went to the White Home to bid President Hoover goodbye Just be fore leaving Washington, he gave me lists of the organizations that had recommended certain men he has named to the commission. These men had the backing of pow er organization, granges, agricul tural societies and colleges." Senator steiwer said he thought naval reduction and world peace are the most Import subjects which confronts us. he said. "The re duction of armaments represents the greatest element of cost In gov ernment." DRUGGIST INJURED IN RUNAWAY TRUCK Falls City J. Thompson.

FORD FAVORS FREE TRADE IN AUTOS (Continued from page 1) manufacturer had been unable to attend the meeting In person, Ro berge said the elder Ford had not rceived the Invitation. He said he did not know Henry Ford's views In regard to the tariff. Roberge said most of the Ford company tractors now are being manufactured In Ireland where the p.ant was moved, he said, because of lack of space In Detroit. Questioned concerning the com parative costs of production in Ire land and the United States, Roberge said be believed the cost would be greater In the former country. "we don t want to change the tariff In such a way as to move the automobile Industry abroad," Reed said. Roberce testified automobiles were not being imported into this country from the Ford plant in England and probably will not be in the future because the cars made there are of a different type from those manufactured in this country. He also said that because of the high cost of production of tractors in Ireland they can not be Imported into this country in large quanti ties. Reed asked Roberge to request Henry Ford to submit his views on the tariff by letter. The committee chairman an nounced later he would summon Ford to appear before the commit tee if his views are not submitted by mail. Walter C. White, president of the White Motor company, was the last witness before the hearing adjourn ed. He asked for a retention of the 25 percent duty on motor trucks and the counter-vailing levies, saying both were essential to continuance of prosperity in the truck industry. President Hoover discussed the tariff bill with Republican Leader Watson and Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania at a White House breaklast Thursday morning. It was stated at the White House af terward that the chief executive had no definite attitude on the bill. Reports he had urged the senators to frame a bill with "the yardstick of adequate protection," were offi cially denied at the executive of fices.

Duluth, Minn., is home port for 346 lake vessels with a tonnage of 19,041. CROP REPORT SHOWS GAIN IN WHEAT ACREAGE Washington (IP) Estimates Is sued by the agriculture department Wednesday indicate decreases this season In the acreage of corn, oats. rye, rice, potatoes and cow peas. Increases are Indicated in acreages of wheat, barley, flax seed, cotton, hay, sweet potatoes, tobacco, beans, peanuts, soy beans and sugar beets. Allowing for some late crops still to be planted and for the usual loss of acreage from drouth, floods and other causes, the department said the total crop acreage harvested this season seems likely to be about the same as that of last season. In general the acreage planted appeared to be close to the intend ed acreages which farmers report ed in March. The chief exception was in those areas where wet weather has interfered with the planting of corn and oats. The estimate of the area in corn this year of 98,333,000 acres is 2.3 per cent below the acreage harvest ed In 1928. Condition of corn July was 77.6 per cent, or one-half point lower than a year ago. The first report covering all classes of wheat indicates a prob able production of about 834,000,- 000 bushels In 1929 compared with 902,000,000 In 1918 and an average production of 810,000,000 during the five year period 1923-27. Winter wheat production indi cated by conditions Julv 1 is 582.- 000,000 bushels a reduction of j 14,000.000 bushels since June 1. This decrease was largely in the four states of Kansas. Nebraska. Oklahoma and Colorado, where hot winds and insect damage were se vere during the month. Condition was reported at 75.9 per cent, com parea with the 10 year average conaiuon 01 ri.o per cent. SUPPLYPACK TRAIN OFF FOR MARION LAKE For the purpose of getting camp arranged as much as possible be fore the main group moves in, an advance party of two left Salem Wednesday night for Marion lake, where headquarters for the first annual outing or the Chemeketans will be established. Richard Upjohn and William Albert were the two to make the advance trip with the pack train which is taking in aonroximatelv 2500 pounds of material. Eighteen norses were necessary to transport the equipment and supplies of the hikers. A great many of the main party will leave Salem Saturday after noon and spend the night either at Detroit or at Mile Post 9, the end of the road. Others will leave Salem early enough Sunday morning to reacn tne "jump oil" place at 8 o'clock, the hour set for the start to the lake. Miss Catherine Gaylor, an ex pert photographer, has been se cured to take motion pictures of the experiences of the hikers. Dr. D. B. Hill's modern movie camera has been loaned to the organiza tion for the period of the encamp ment. The camp and hikes, Including the climb to the summit of Jeffer son, will be conducted along lines of safety first, those in charge state. They point out that Jeffer son, with its extra covering of snow, will not be difficult to climb from the south and that there is little chance of the element of danger entering into the ascent Thirty-two persons have signed for the outing. A few more may make the trip. - LACK OF PEP DUE TO BALULCOHOL (Continued from page 1) history. And bad alcohol is very con ducive to braip fag and lack 01 energy." Dr. Riussel M. wilder, .Chicago, and Dr. Frank N. Allan, Rochester, Minn., In papers read In a sectional meetings, showed that the remark able effects of -insulin in the con trol of diabetes and the disastrous results of failing to use It properly are widespread. "Now that Insulin Is available. the paper stated, "deaths from dia betic coma should not occur." Dr. Clare Shepardson, San Fran cisco, continuing the debate on the use of insulin, said that treatment has not only lengthened the lives of sufferers from the disease, but has greatly reduced the possibility of developing hardening of the ar teries. Continuing the discussion In the mental hygiene section. Dr. George S. Stevenson, New Yont, director of community clinics for the national committee for mental hygiene, said that fear of disease, especially can cer, causes many persons to magni fy symptoms and drives them to a doctor. Dr. Stevenson, who Is a nschlat- rist, told of interviewing 150 patients at the Cornell clinic, and how he found that there is often a big dif ference between the patient's com plaint and his motive In coming to the doctor. Other sectional meetings opened Thursday morning but probably will adjourn In the afternoon when the house of delegates convenes.

Machines To Replace 3500 Women Working In Canneries, Claim That within five years ployed in Salem canneries of the 3,500 or more who are now employed, but that their places may virtu-ally all be taken by improved machinery, was an intimation given by a man prominent in the canning industry here. Long strides have been taken in improvement in local canneries In the past lew years, such long strides in iact that anyone visiting a cannery here five years ago and now would scarcely know It was the same place, as far as the operation of machinery is concerned. Numerous improvements are Just in the offing, now being held back from publicity for further experi mentation or for time to construct the necessary machinery, which, when installed and under success ful way will make still more won derful changes in the mechanical appliances than those now in use and which no doubt will eliminate quite a percentage of women work ers in themselves. Others are Just in the experimental stages, while still others are being evolved in a hazy way in the brains of the me chanical wizards who have brought the cannery machinery up to the point it now has reached, which promise, or threaten, as the case may be, to virtually , revolutionize all of the present methods. As a sample of what Is being done, the operations In the big Hunt brothers cannery have In many ways changed over the winter, particu larly as to the conveying of the fruit. The cannery now, upstairs and downstairs, is connected under one continuous operation. Where last year for instance, cherries were barreled in the basement and pre pared for canning on the main floor, the plant now works as a unit. The barreling is done at night and the canning in the daytime. The entire first and second floors are so connected that by use of an auto matic elevator system Installed last winter cherries are prepared for canning both downstairs and up stairs and conveyed-automatically upstairs where they are carried to the sorting stables and on to the cooking and canning machines. After going over these preparation tables the cherries are nri touched by a hand, save only the quick fin gers which pull out the culls, and are carried on through water con veyers to the cookers. It is predicted It will only be a question of time, and probably not such a great length of time, before all of this work of culling, and sorting will be done by mechanical means, as the work of grading Is now done by mechanical means. When that time arrives the em ployment of women in the canneries will be practically a thing of the past. And when the time comes the canneries will operate contin uously for 24 hours a day with a few men tending to the machin ery. While there will still be trucking and such Jobs left it will only be a matter of a little time, and this probably will be developed along with the rest of it, when the trucking as well will be virtually eliminated and conveying entirely handled by machinery. An automobile manufacturer re cently announced that his plant turns out 8000 bodies a day with the employment of only 120 men. It is iikeiy that the big canneries here will turn out from a million cases of fruit up during the summer and not employ more than half a dozen or so men about the plant. wowever, the 3500 women who are emploed In the canneries still have a few years left to make arrange ments ior tne changes which it is asserted are bound to come up soon er or later. WILSON FOR FARM BOARD Washington, wv-Charles A.
