There was no change In Jie general trading basis for eegs locally tot the week's opening. The lecline of two cents made by the :o-ops at Ian week's closing was generally followed by private dis tributors. General conditions in the live chicken market continue favorable here with no change In either buy ing or selling vallues despite the nearness of the holiday. The sup ply of dressed stock has not yet generally started. Only about 3'j carloads of cran berries are held unsold on the Oregon-Washington bogs at this time, a conditiop which Indicates a famine of the holiday fruit late In the season. Prices held strong. While little change is as set shown In the local prices, sweet po tatoes market here indicates an etarly advance due- to the hlaher values being asked at the source. Cellar stock Is being quoted around Jour cent f. o. o., according to Manager McLaughlin of the Pacific Fruit company. Owing to the fact that every one is Interested In turk'ys and other fowls, there Is but little call for country killed meats of any sort. The trade In general asks the coun try to withhold Its st iff until after the holiday. With the California season get ting more advanced she lower prices a.'ked In the south have innuenceo the local trade. The Portland Cauli flower association finished loading car at $1.60 f. o. b., for the week end.

PLANNING TO PLANT BLUEBERRY RANCH John Diem ol Salem has purchas ed a tract ot land on the south side of Yaquina bay, known as South Beach, and Is preparing to put blue berries under cultivation. The land is a marshy soil and has native blueberry plants growing, and to these will be added 400 plants that have Just arrived from New Jersey, This portion of the county has na tural conditions for the culture of these berries, which have always grown to a very high state of per fection, even in the wild state. This 1 the first attempt of putting them under cultivation. PORTLAND TURKEY MARKET SUPPLIED. Portland, (IP) Turkey sales over Sunday were generally 31. to 35 cents pound ler the selected birds, few moving at the- higher mark. The bulk were around 31 to 33 cents for this grade. Others were down to extreme low levels. Ke celpts were not so heavy but this Is due to the fact that the trade has discouraged further offerings. Market for gtre is well supplied around 20 to 23 cents for fancy dressed with fancy quality ducks in UDeral oiiermg around 25 to 27 cents pound.

AUSTRIAN PEAS MAY BE DOUBLED SAYS SEED MAN Austrian peas, a comparatively new seed crop for the valley, intro duced here three years ago, have been planted on more than 4000 acres of valley land this fall for purely seed purposes and although conditions are adverse, if they work out, and a good rain Is all they need, it is expected double that acreage will be put In next year, reports Harley O. White. The Austrian peas are used ef tensively ln the south -as a cover crop for cotton and tobacco fields, particularly tobacco fields and a huge acreage is planted every year from entirely imported seed, as this is the only section of the united States where they are now grown. The Austrian pea is similar to tne vetch plant, but grows more like a pea. It is handled the same as vetch, planted the same time and with oats, but, state the seed men, produce for the farmer double the revenue of that secured from vetch seed. The contracts this year and last were made on a basis of four cents a pound to the farmers and the yield is around 1000 pounds and better of good cleaned seed to the acre. The Austrian pea, they state, dues not shatter as badly as vetch when threshed. Germination is very ready and a good rain will bring it up in four days, they state. While the crop has been planted so far, purely as a seed crop it is stated that the pea plant while pos sibly not producing quite the ton nage of 'vetch, nevertheless makes a fine hay, especially for cattle, pos sibly better in some ways than vetch, as the peas are not so coarse and are sweeter and more tender for the cattle to eat. While the peas arc suffering from dry conditions like all other grain and grass crops a good rain, it is believed, will insure a very heavy acreage in the valley, next year, which is expected to constantly in crease as the value of the plant for seed and hay purposes as well is better known. Tne demand in the south is tremendous for the seed, it is stated. FARMERS BRINGING IN CORN FOR SHOW Already farmers are bringing In corn for entrance in the corn show of the United States National bank which opens at the bank Wednes day and runs through November 30. several entrants were on had Monday and the bulk of them are expected to be in Tuesday to they may be arranged and in place by Wednesday morning. The show this year is confined to 10 cars of Yellow Dent corn ex chisively and exhibits of other class es of corn such as shown in the past are not included. This is done be cause the Yellow Dent is the main corn for this section and the idea of the show Is to put on the best ears for the purpose of giving farmers idea of seed selection of greatest value to this valley. FISH STORY Pittsburgh, N. Y. (LP) Trout arc caught in Schuyler Falls, near here, even out of season and by means not generally approved of by dt ciples of Izaak Walton. A farmer of Pittsburgh went to the Saranac river near his home, recently, to get a pail of water for the reser voir of his stove. Later in the day his wife discovered a fair sized trout, cooked, in the water. ARMY TO AII1 SANTA Washington (LP The army has undertaken to assist Santa Claus and the postoffice this year by loaning spare motor trucks for handling Christmas mall. Cambridge, Mass. (LP) A survey taken at Harvard university here brought forth fact that 103 Smiths are registered there this year. The "Brown" family is a poor second with only ffl being reritered. r.ne KS It Appointment L- , J FORECAST BIG PRUNE YIELD FOR NEXT YEAR "While as a usual thins: after a heavy prune crop the trees seem to suffer from a draught on their vitality and the next year the crop Is apt to be small, this year no such condition seems to exist and barring some adverse conditions at blooming time there should be a heavy crop of prunes again next year," is the prediction of Earl Pearcy. well known local prune man. The bud formation should be fine as there is no indication of bud injury whatever. "It is also probable that there will be more pruning and fertil izing in prune orchards this year than anv time during the last 10 years. Pruning work already has started in the Liberty district and the one good year seems to have given something of an additional lease of life to the prune Industry." Pearcy, who with Roland Jory : :t year purchased the 110 acre Lone Maple orchard in the Rose dale district, states that the or chard yielded 129 dried tons and a little better. These were sold to the California Packing corpora tion. For the past few weeks he has been at Scotts Mills at his pack ing house there taking in prunes for the Allen Fruit company and they are still coming in. He states that the Scotts Mills district, while It was spotted this year and not with as heavy a crop as some dis tricts nevertheless produced a good quality prune. Peary estimates that the total tonnage for the northwest will run as high as 85,000,000 pounds. "At first the estimate was around 65,000.000, then it jumped to 70. 000.000 and there is a pretty gen eral feeling now that it will run to 85,000,000 and the crop is en tirely cleaned up. For the first time in some time there are no prunes left to feed the hogs. SEEK REPEAL OF WATERPOWER ACT (Continued from page 1) a not a natural farmer," he declared. Other commission members also criticized the homestead law, saying ti.e nomstead in the states con cerned is not an economic unit, and has offered false promises to set tlers. Chairman Garfield set for the In dividual representative of each of the 11 states the tank of working out a compendium of all laws of his state which would be pertinent to the present problem. He asked par ticularly for a report on state laws which conflict with federal laws in land administration. A question was raised as to whether existing forest reserves should be retained, or whether graz ing lands should be taken off of forest reserves. Chairman Garfield suggested it migh bte advisable to consolidate all national forests, now scattered in forest reserves, Indian administration, national parks and military reservations. He pronounced oil one of the mast difficult of problems, involving over-production, waste and conflict ing control. Community grazing difficulties, he said, might be solved by a return to the old Spanish system of common grazing grounds surrounding each irrigation settlement. He a-sked the commission to con sider whether Interstate watersheds should be withdrawn by the fed eral government and administered as units or should be given to the states. It was decided to establish three principal committees on disposal and use of public lands, on disposal and use of sulvoil minerals, and on reclamation policies. Tentative decision was made to ask congress for a $50,000 appro priation for work of the commLsssion but further conferences will be held on this matter between Chairman Garfield and Secretary Wilbur. Mary Roberts Rhinehart, woman member, said she believed President Hoover is sympathetic with the de sire of the western state to re tain their mineral and sub-surface reights. She expressed the opin ion that, with reasonable reserva tion, the lands fhould be turned over to local administration. The commission adjourned its formal session to meet again at the call of the president, pending ap propriation by congress of funds to carry on its work. NO DANGER IN Til KM Beaver, Pa.

Cuddlhy, one of the navy's most experienced pilots, was killed Monday when the Britisn Bristol Bulldog airplane he was testing crashed in a dive from a 10.000 foot altitude and buried it self so far ln the earth that only the feet of Its pilot were visible above the plowed ground. More than half an hour alter the accident the naval personnel at the Anacostla air station here were digging In an effort to extricate the body. The crash took place at 9:53 a. m. Cuddihy had taken the plane aloft to test It. The ship had been delivered to the navy only last week. It was constructed to make 180 miles per hour with full mili tary load and Is of the class of latest fighting ships used by the British air forces. Visibility was none too good when the veteran navy pilot took the craft aloft. Persons at the air fta- tlon estimated he lost control at an altitude of 6,000 feet. Air station officers said Cuddlhy was testing the plane's diving speed. He had reached an estimated ele vation of two miles before entering the dive, and when he attempted to draw out of the dive at about 6.000 feet, they said, the ship re fused to right itself and tore down ward nose first at terrific speed. The nose of the thip plowed 10 feet into the earth. Cuddihv was one of the navys racing pilots. He was born at Al to. Michigan, in J896. His moth er, Mrs. A. K. Cuddihy, lives at Grand Ranids. Michigan. In 192 Cuddihy estabiisned a world record for seaplane speed at 188 miles per hour and the follow ing year piloted a navy plane ln the Schneider cup race. He graduated from the naval academy in 1817 serving until lirci on the U. S. S. Mississippi. In that year he entered the aviation service.

Province of Huelva, Spain, (LP) A movement is on foot to perpetuate the memory of Rod rigo de Jerez, a citizen of Aya monte, whose claim to distinction lies in the fact that he was the first person in Europe to smoke. Rodrigo de Jerez was one of the three Ayamonte citizens to accom pany Christopher Columbus on his voyage of discovery. Tradition has it that Columbus personally re cruited these men, and that Col umbus himself lived ln Ayamonte for a short while. When Rodrigo returned from America he rejoined his family and ceased his wanderings, but he had brought back with him a habit which was to get him into trouble that of smoking. He also brought an ample supply of tobacco leaves. When Rodrlgo's wife saw him smoking for the first time, she thought him posssised (II devils. and as a true faithful churchwo- man that she was, immediately in formed the Inquisition of what had transpired. None other than the famous Father Tomas de Torquc mada heard the case, and consigned Rodrigo to prison and ordered the house purified and blessed. By the time that he had done his sen tence, there were several hundred tobacco smokers ln Europe. Ayamonte has already honored Rodrigo by naming a street after him, the very street on which he lived. The house still stands, and now the town council (Ayuntami enlo) wants the Spanish Tobacco monopoly which derives great wealth due to the popularity of the habit brought to Europe by Ro drigo to pay the expenses of hav ing the house suitably designated by placing a marble marker point ing out its historical significance.

CLOSE CANNERY WEST SALEM No attempt will be made to re vive operations of the West Salem cannery which was under lease to Ried, Murdock & Company but turned back to W. G. Macauley, mortgagee after the Reid. Murdoch company finished its run. That company will start operations in its new Front street plant with the next canning season. Old stockholders say that the co operative which operated the West Salem plant for a while is dead and while every cooperation will be giv en by them in an effort to assist the mortgagee in securing an occu pant or a purchaser for the plant there will be no effort made to re vive the defunct concern. "The day of the small cooperative cannery seems to be pretty weil moving toward a finish especially here in Salem" said one of the stockholders. "The canning busi ness is getting to move on sucl; a big scale new cooperatives have not much chance. The Producers is operating successfully and no doubt will but new canning projects must have a big backing and a reserve to take them through the lean years whicl: mast small cooperatives can not secure."
