EGGS STEADY,
POULTRY FAIR,
CALVES STRONG
' Portland (LP) There remains ft
general lack of change In the egg
market situation. The price list is
stationary 8ome decreases In the
supply continues to be reported
from most sections.
With a shortage of offerings, the
price of lightweight broilers indi
cates an early advance. Expectations
are that light broilers will move
above the heavy stuff during the
week.
Demand for lightweight hens ap
pears fair but the country gener
ally is preparing to ship its entire
output within the immediate luture.
At least more coops have been or
dered than for some time past.
Market for country killed calves is
of strong character. Prices are hold
ing firm especially so for fancy
lights. Hogs are rather uneasy with
ft general top of 17 cents while
lambs are scarce and firm. Beel
quiet.
That the peach crop 01 The Lai-
les section is somewhat better than
expected is word brought back from
them. It is said that on many of
the trees there is a minimum of 10
boxes of J. H. Hales. These are small
trees, too. Further strengthening of
.the peach market situation is re
ported by the trade generally.
First of the really worthwhile
Oravensteln apples from the home
territory are arriving. These are
selling $2.75 box for face and fill.
Sweet potatoes lower at nine cents
pound. General potato market firm.
Onions steady. Mountain huckle
berries being offered at 20 cents a
pound. Watermelons weaker and
generally lower. Tomato market is
buoyed with sales around 60 cents
for fancy The Dalles. Cantaloupes
showing a wide spread with sales
$1 to $1.75. Celery market very ac
tive and lirm for carloads.
ROOT BORER IS
SPRAY TARGET
Peach and prune growers of Ore.
ion are advised by Don C. Mote, ex.
nerlment station entomologist, to
begin control measures or one of
the worst Insect enemies of their
trees the peach and prune root.
hnrpr
The root-borer can be controlled
easily and cheaply by the use or
paradichlorobcnzene. which may be
obtained under several auiereni
commercial names. This white crys
talline chemical Is sprinkled lightly
In a ring around the base of the tree
and then covered over with dirt. It
gives off a gas that permeates the
soil to the tree and penetrates the
burrows of the borers poisoning
them.
The most satisfactory time to
make the application of paradlch
lorobenzene Is from August IS to
September 15. It Is desirable to de
lay the treatment to as late a date
as weather conditions permit, Dr.
Mote says, in order to avoid reln
festatlon from moths which may be
flying and to allow the worms to
collect about the crown or tno tree.
While borers above the ground
are not killed by this method, repel
lant whitewashes have been found
very effective In experiment station
tests.
RUNNING MOTOR
CAUSE OF FIRE
Dallas Jack Neal was painfully,
but not seriously burned and the
motorcycle belonging to A. M
Strayer, Capital Journal agent ftnd
correspondent, " badly damaged,
when gasoline Ignited while the
tank was being filled at the Hubert
service station Saturday afternoon.
Neal, who had been asked to
have the machine serviced, was sit
ting In the saddle when the gaso
line overflowed the tank and soaked
his overalls. He had failed to shut
off the motor and the fluid Ignited
from ft short-circuited spark plug.
Before he could dismount he was
burned about the legs.
Prompt action by the fire de
partment prevented the complete
loss of the machine and poaslblly
the destruction of the service sta
tion which was threatened when
the gasoline pump became Ignited.

GRAF COVERS TOKYO
LAP IN RECORD TIME
(Continued from page 1)
from Los Angeles to Lakehurst,
about 3,500 miles, or 7,970 miles to
tal.
The average speed of the sep-
pelin from Frledricluhafen to To
kyo was Just In excess of 64 miles
an hour. This, when It Isconsid
ered that but three of the dirigi
bles five motors were kept running
during most of the trip, was excep
tionally good ftnd about 15 miles
per hour In excess of what Dr.
Hugo Eckener, the zeppeltn's mas
ter, had estimated It would make.
Aboard the zeppelln were 60 per
sons, 40 crew and officers, and 20
passengers of whom Lady Grace
Drummond Hay was the only wom
an. With the exception of ft knick-
knack or two. Including a bust of
oaron Enrenieid, there was
freight other than 50,000 -pieces of
mall, the revenue from which
broguht the zeppelln nearly fts
many dollars.
Five hundred Japanese bluejac
kets brought down the silver queen
of the air on Kasumlgaura field
at 6:27 a. m. Forty minutes later
they stowed her safely away until
the start of her flight of 5,420 miles
across the Pacific ocean to Los
Angeles, next stage of her flight
around the world.
The Graf will probably start for
the Pacific coast of America on
Thursday.
This flight over the waste
stretches of the Pacific never yet
Traversed by an airship, marks the
third stage of the globe-circling
Graf's Journey. Together with the
run across the American continent
from Los Angeles to Lakehurst, the
zeppelin must still fly nearly 8.000
miles to her goal on the New Jer
sey airfield from which she set out
on August 7. !
A round of entertainments and:
festivities in the lavish tradition
of Japanese hospitality began for
the 20 passengers and the 40 offi
cers and men of the Graf as soon as
the last rope had been colled and
the last Inspection given to the
engines In the Kasumlgaura han
gar. While Immense crowds of excited
Japanese broke again and again
through police and military cor
dons. Dr. Hugo Eckener and Ad
miral Takarable, Japanese minis
ter of the navy, exchanged formal
feliciations on the field. j
The passengers, all of whom were
wtll and In good spirits, went
through ft brief customs Inspection
and then boarded a train for Tokyo,
40 miles away. The Japanese cere
monial meal, traditionally extend
ed to visitors, was served by air
port ana government officials be
fore they left. It consisted of
dried chesnuts, dried cuttlefish and
sakl, the national alcoholic bever
age fermented from rice.
The officers and crew of the
Oraf . were distracted from the
strain of four days and six hours
oi constant strain and resnonsibll
lty over the wilds of Siberia by an
cuimiimicij given uj uie com1
mandant of the airport. They
relaxed from the -tension of the
night from Friedrtchshafen bv din

Geisha girls, professional Japanese
entertainers.
Meanwhile, the staff of Ameri
can, Oerman and Japanese engi
neers who had been waiting to go

GRAPE GROWERS
GET $9,000,000
OF RELIEF FUND
Washington 0P The federal farm
board has gone to the rescue of
the California grape and raisin trade
in Its first large-scale attempt to
assist agriculture under the new
Hoover program. The industry,
which has tripled since 1920 has
however, been In financial trouble.
The board announced Mondav
that 19,000,000 was being advanced
to the Sun Maid Raisin Growers
cooperative of California. Half of
this is to be advanced by the farm
board out of the $150,000,000 re
volving fund appropriated by con
gress. The other half 1$ to be ad
vanced by California bankers. The
board had also decided to advance
sufficient funds to finance the fresh
grape crop through the federal fruit
stabilization corporation, the exact
amount being undecided at the mo
ment. This program, the most ambitious
the farm board has launched. Is
designed partly to relieve the hard-
pressed "raisin-bowl" of California.
In the "in lty of Fresno where
President Hoover has ft model farm.
The board has other ventures un
der consideration including the
formation of a $20,000,000 grain
marketing corporation at Chicago.
a national wool marketing corpora
tion, to do launched in October, and
material assistance to cotton grow
ers. The California srane industry
however, already was organized, and
in position to receive support at
once. This lndust-y has the con
fidence of President Hoover and sev-1
era! of his closest friends, In an!
effort to put It on a sound basis. I
These Include T. T. C. Gregory, San
Francisco lawyer, who has devel
oped the grape stabilization cor
poration, and Henry M. Robinson
neaa ox the security First National
oank of Los Angeles, regarded bv
some in une to succeed Secretary
of Treasury Mellon.
C. C. Teague of California, now
a member of the federal farm board,
had much to do with building up
me jajiornm cooperatives before
coming to Washington. George E.
Farrand, the new general counsel
of the farm board, has been a di
rector In Robinson's bank and Is
known on the Pacific coast
"grandfather of the legal features
oi tne cooperative marketing move-
mem."
Thus the California eraoe indus
try came before the farm board
under sponsorship which Inspired
confidence, and encouraged the farm
board to go as far as It could toward
aneviating its difficult situation.

FUGGLE YARDS
The 1929 hop picking season open-
ed Monday, on a small scale it is
true compared tb what it wl I be by
September 1, but nevertheless some
thousands cf people have moved Into
the yards, and Sunday saw strings
of cars : .ovlng along the roads to
ward the hopyards. During the
week from day to day yards will
be opening up with picking of fug
gles and then on to the early clus
ters and the clusters.
The Lakebrook yard of T. A.
Llvesley is the largest around here
to get down to business this week,
picking of tuggles to start there
Thursday and a crew of 800 pick
ers wtll be at work In this yard.
There are '5 acres of fuggles in
the Lakebroou yard, 43 acres of
early clusters and 245 acres of late
clusters. At this yard every sort of
effort Is made to keep the pickers
happy and contented, even to pic
ture shows, prize fights, the publi
cation of a newspaper, trained nur
ses for the children and playgrounds
as well as a school for them.
The Arch Jennan yard in the
Lakebrook section opened up Mon
day on fuggles. This yard hires
around GOO pickers and has 95 acres
of fuggles, 114 acres of early clus
ters and 92 acres of the late clus
ters. The Brown Island yard, with 110
acres which employs about 100
pickers. Also got under way Monday
on its early clusters and expects

295 acres of late clusters, will prob
ably not start picking until around

men and women, are used in the
ileitis oi the state.
Pickers will be paid on the same
general basis this year of 50 cents
a box or a dollar a hundred when
picking Is by weight. Most of the
picking is by the ba'kct, or by the
box, two baskets filling a box and
checks being given when the box Is
filled.
The crop generally speaking Is
expected to run about the same as
last year with the fuggles possibly
a uttie oettcr,
in tne meantime there Is some
holdover from last year, around
2500 bales, with the market quiet.
recent sales Being around 14 and 15
cents. Quality of the new crop Is
good, without a louse in the yards

SWISS FLIERS ON
WAY TO NEW YORK
(Continued com page 1)
their fuel consumption was too
heavy.
The plane was a Farman mono
plane of French construction, bear
ing on its fuselage near its 230
horsepower motor the name "Jung-
scbweizerland," or "Young Switzer
land." It was similar to that used by
the Frenchman, Bailly and Reei-
nensi, who recently flew from Paris
to Saigon, French Indo China.
The fliers received an enthusias
tic send-off from a crowd which
gathered at the lonely spot to watch
their departure. Contrary to fears
tnac tne plane might nave trouble
in getting up because of its heavy
load. It made a splendid take-off
and disappeared from view 20 min
utes later.
The aviators received what they
considered a favorable weather re
port from the meteorologists. It pre
dicted clear weather and good winds
at the Azores but fog beyond, espe
cially around Newfoundland. The
fliers estimated that it was 3060
miles from Lisbon to New York
while their plane has an estimated
range of 3750 miles and had speed
of 105 miles per hour.
If their long hop should prove
successful, it was estimated they
should reach Roosevelt field about
6 p.m., eastern standard time Tues
day. FARMERS BLAMED
FOR GUTTING POWER
Farmers who have broken into the
gravity ditch of the People's West
Coast Power company near John
Day and Canyon City are partially
at fault for the shutting off of light
and power in those two towns, says
a letter from the company to the
public service commission.
Business firms of the towns have !
complained at the condition and are j
inclined to blame the company for I
failure to provide an auxiliary plant.
In its letter the company says it is j
negotiating for auxiliary equipment. I
The farmers who have interfered
witn operations apparently are
lacking water for their livestock, due
to the general shortage of water.
