BUTTER SHOWS
STRONG: EGGS
REMAIN STEADY
Portland (IP) Butter and egg quo
tations were unchanged here Satur
day. Market for butter continues to
show a strong tone on the produce
' exchange and on the open market
Butterfat war appears to be sub
siding.
Efforts to make It appear as If
the Portland egg price Is being held
down while the remainder of the
' coast Is advancing are for the sole
' purpose of discrediting the co-ops
who are trying to sell fresh eggs
j while some private firms are seek
ing higher fresh egg values In order
to force the storage movement.
Situation In the market for coun
try killed hogs Is' weak with the
price of live stuff constantly being
cut. Veal steady. Lambs steady for
fancy stuff. Beef In demand.
' Demand for peaches in the local
territory continues greatest on rec
ord. The big rush of Elbertas to
market is nearly over and arrivals
of clings and late Crawfords are
.slightly better. No change In the
. general price list.
Firm price basis Is generally con'
tlnued throughout the market for
potatoes. Active movement Is shown
In the Yakima section with Port
land a leading operator. Little local
stock is being offered.
With offerings of oualltv stock
below requirements, the market for
watermelons Is unusually active with
a continuation of the warm weather.
Cantaloupes are firmly priced.

SALEM Y RANKS
WITH BEST, HUG
ADVISES BOARD
Encouraged by the report of one
of their members that, alter
summer's Inspection trip, he was
convinced that the Salem Y. M. O.
A. is second to none in its building
and the extensiveness of the pro
gram which it offers, and by the
report of the treasurer that from
present indications the budget will
be balanced when the fiscal year
closes, October 1, members of the
board of directors of the local Y.
M. C. A. held their last meeting of
the fiscal year Thursday afternoon.
George W. Hug, one ox the board
members, told the group of 20 lead'
lng business and professional men
of the city, many of whom have
served on the board for 20 and
even 30 years, that the Salem Y
M. C. A. was not surpassed In any
of the Y's which he visited during
his summer trip which took him as
far east as Detroit.
Wesley Heise gave a report of the
junior division work and told the
board that among the activities
planned for September are the or
ganization of model airplane clubs
as junior and senior chapters of the
American air cadets, and the or
ganization of a camp cookery club
under J. Burton Crary.
Paul Wallace, chairman of the
membership committee reported
total of 39 new memberships In
August with 43 continuances.
George W. Hug, chairman of the
physical department reported
health education program with an
adult health clinic, plans for a boys'
exposition for new year s week witn
a water carnival, an enlargement of
the swimming program and the
placement of more emphasis on out
door- sports.
Roy H. Hewitt gave a report of
the meeting of the Y's men's club
and talked Informally on his Im
pressions of the Y. M. C. A. In
China and Japan.
President W. I. Staley appointed
Paul Wallace, Dr. Frank Brown,
and John H. Parrar, a nominating
committee to report at the annual
association meeting which will be
held early In October.
The board members at present
Include W. I. Staley, president; R.
J. Hendricks, vice-president: Jos.
H. Albert, treasurer; Carle Abrams,
Paul Acton, P. E. Brown, O, P. Co-
show, M. c. Plndley, John Par
rar, Oeorge W, Hug, T. M. Hicks,
Roy H. Hewitt. D. B. Jarman. W.
T. Jenks, T. B. Kay, A. A. Lee, T.
A. Llvefley, James Nicholson, Paul
P. Wallace, and R. Lee Wood.
Six of the members' three year
term of office will expire this year
but It Is thought that these same
members will be renominated. Board
members of the Salem Y. M, C. A.
remain practically the same
throughout the years with, an oc
casional new name.
The president, W. I. Staley, has
served for more than 20 years.
Joseph Albert and Tom Kay have
been Y board members since 1892
and Bob Hendricks has served for
the same number of years. In ad
dition to the six members whose
terms expire this year, the asso
ciation will elect a successor to
Byron Wright who has gone to St.
Helens to make his home.
In addition to giving much of
their time to the Salem Y the
board members are heavy contrib
utors to the upkeep and cost of the j
association. At the time the newj
building was started, members of
the board contributed exactly 20;
per rent of the total sum collected
for the new structure. During the
past year the 30 board members
contributed 18 per cent of this
year's budget from their own per
sonai funds.

PROFIT TAKING
SUCCEEDED DY
RALLY IN MART
New York (IP) Railroad shares of
some of the utilities advanced In
Saturday's short session on the stock
market. Irregularity continued as
many took profits not caring to re
main in an uncertain market over
the week-end.
Carrier shares were stimulated by
reports of an increase ox 24 percent
in earnings of class one roads in the
first seven months or this year as
compared with last year. New York
Central ran up three points while
B. and O. gained more than two
points to a new high record and
New Haven rose a point.
United Corporation continued
very active, rising more than
point. Public Service rose more than
two points.
Standard of New Jersey and Stan
dard of New York were In demand
in the oils. Radio Corporation and
Radlo-Kelth-Orpheum-were strong
er. Steel common declined after an
early rally and heavy profit taking
was noted In May Department Stores
and Pullman. Republic Iron and
Steel made a new high and retained
its gain.
A good rally set in toward the
close. Commercial Solvents was an
outstanding feature of the high
priced stocks, running 31 points to
530, a new record nigh. The stock Is
to be split 10 for V and Saturday's
advance was belated recognition of
the split announced Friday.
Toward the close U. S. Steel, Ra
dio, Anaconda, American and For
eign Power and A. T. and T. were
lower but other leaders were brought
to the front, notably Standard of
New Jersey. The latter closed with a
sweep at 80 H up 3 on a block of
10,000 shares.
Case Threshing Machine ran up
15 points to 450, and .strength was
exhibited in other Issues doing busi
ness In the agricultural regions.

Prune Harvest Will
Open Monday; No
Shortage of Pickers
Prune harvest in the valley will start in earnest the
coming Monday and it is expected, barring upset in weather
conditions, tnat around 60 days will have passed before the
prunes from this year's crop are under cover. As near as
can be learned there will be no
dearth of prune pickers such as
faced the hop men,
Hop yards have been releasing
pickers daily the past few days, and
a signup of many ya-is has been go
ing on for weeks. . . m Phillips at
the employment agency here stated
that the picking situation for prunes
looks rosy and he believes the crop
should be handled without trouble
from the picking angle. The aver
age price paid Is 8 cents a bushel
green for Italians and 10 cents for
petites.
The general Impression around
here among growers Is that the
dried crop will run around 6,000,000
pounds. Locally, reports are, that
in sections where they have a crop
the crop will run slightly above
the estimates and the quality is" I
fine.
Around 95 per cent of the prune
crop has been sold this year at
prices running from 7 cents up
to 10 cents, witn an average of
around 8 cents. It Is r. banner
year for prune growers, all condi
tions taken Into conslderattcn, for
many years and now the only ques-
tlon is one as to whether the weath
er will hold up.
One authority stated that under
conditions as they are now 12 hours
of rain would put half the prune
crop on the ground. However, the
same authority states that the sal
vation of the prune crop would be
two weeks of good weather. By
tnat time the prunes would be in
such condition so that It would take
a lot of rain to do any very great
damage, he stated. The barometer
has been sticking pretty close to
given point lor some time and
considerable optimism Is now felt
about saving the crop In a year
when its salvation will mean big
things for the valley.
it is estimated that while fhc
canned pack will be large it will
possibly not run quite as heavy as
last year when 700,000 cases were
packed, the largest canned prune
pacx in tne history of the valley
At first there was no thought of
canning anything like that amount
of prunes this year, but a second
thought will probably run the can
ner pack up pretty close to last
year's mark due to the fact that
canned prune prices are looking up
because oi snortage on other can
ned fruits and. the consequent
nigner prices on them.
Whatever happens It Is estimated
that not to exceed 10 per cent
or the crop will go Into the cans
and probably not that much, more
likely around 8 per cent.
A heavy share of the crop has
passed Into the hands of big hold
ers, the California Packing cor
poration. Roseberg brothers and
the Allen Fruit company, although
quite a bit of buying has been done
by smaller holders. It was-the race
between the two big mooses In the
prune game, the packing corpora
tion and Rosenberg that kept shov
ing the prices up until the 10 cent
point was reached.
ACTIVITY IN WOOL
MARKET MODERATE
Boston VP) Activity In the wool
market was only moderate during
tne past week. A Uttl eslowlng up
In sales was noted In -fine wools
in some quarters because of the
desire to see what happened In the
opening sales at London before
making commitments on raw ma
terial. As a consequence of this
attitude, domestic fine wool prices
are not quite asstrong. Inquiries
were good on medium grades, but
sales rather slow, owing to Increas
ed firmness in asking prices.
PEACH TRADE CLAIMS
MARKET ATTENTION
Portland UP) The peach trade.
which reached Its peak during the
week, has absorbed most of the
market's attention for some time.
There has been a liberal supply of
the fruit and many housewives have
availed themselves, of the quantity
and prices for canning purposes.
The first of next week Is expected
to see the supply dwindling and
prices tending higher.
Tomatoes continue to arrive lo
large quantities and prices are ex
tremely low. The best stock may be
bought at 35 to 90 cents a box.
Good cauliflower is reported to be
scarce.
Butter and eggs are firm, but
prices remain unchanged, despite
advances at other coast markets.
Poultry and fresh meats were stea
dy.

SPRAY TIME NEARS
EXPERT DECLARES
Dallas "Spray with bordeaux be
fore fall rains," says C. L. Long, ex
tension horticulturist of the state
college.
One of the best forms of Insur.
ance for many of the horticultural
crops of the state Is a well applied
coat of bordeaux before the fall
rain, he says. This should be an
plied In such a way that all those
portions of the tree or plant above
ground are thoroughly coated. Un
less the spray has already been
applied, it should be applied at
once to remedy the following diseas
es: antnracnose ox the apple; Eur
opean canker of pear and aDDle:
peach blight of peach, apricot, and
tn some sections, cherry: anthrac
nose of the black cap raspberry;
and septorla of the bramble fruits.
The effectiveness of this bordeaux
spray will depend largely on Its
spreading and sticking qualities.
There Is nothing superior to a care
fully home-made bordeaux. The
county agent's office has complete
directions for making home-made
oorueaux.

WEfiONDSES
BULK OF PEARS
Around 12,500 tons or over halt of
the Medlord and Umpqua pears
used by canneries were used by Ore
gon canneries, the balance going to
California, according to an estimate
made by Ralph Allen of Hunt bro
thers who was In the two taller
watching after his firm's Interests
during the pear picking season
which bas just closed. He has re
cently returned to Salem and Sat
urday morning started out for Pay
allup, Wenatchee and Yakima to
handle the apple situation for his
firm In those valleys.
He expects one more carload of
pears will land in Salem from Mrd
ford for the Hunt canneries to def
initely wind up the season.
According to his estimates Ore
gon canneries handled pears out of
me two valleys about as follows:
Oregon Packing company, 1000 tons;
Northwest cannery 1200 tons; Llbby,
McNeill Sc Libby. 2000 tons; Hunt
Brothers 3000 tons; Starr cannery
for Portland plant, 1000 tons; Held,
Murdoch, 500 tons. Ray Mating for
both Hillsboro and Woodburn about
half and half at each. 2500 tons. Th
balance went to California.
He expects Washington apples to
start moving this way about next
week but the canning season on ap
ples here will not start for about
three weeks.
