SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1930
EGGS, BUTTER
STEADY; HOGS
IN ACTIVE GALL
Portland (IP) Erratic prices con
tinue at most American trading cen
ters tor eggs and butter although no
change was shown in the general
local situation for the week end.
There was a lack of change in the
price of butter locally for the day.
Cubes and prints were held station
ary, as was butterfat.
Shortage of country killed quality
calves is still unrelieved here and
prices are held high. Hogs are still
in active call and full price is re
tained. Lambs also. Beef demand ts
cleaning up current arrivals.
Extreme dullness Is showing In the
market for nuts and especially wal
nuts. Held over stocks of walnuts
are liberal and prices are reported
as weak. Despite the smallneut of
almond stocks previous to the holi
days, holdings by retailers are rather
liberal.
Steady trading tone Is indicated
for eggs locally with no general
change in the price list reported by
either co-ops or private distributors.
Increased demand is taking care of
the greater supply.
Supplies of live chickens contin
ues extremely limited with buying
prices still at the highest noted for
a number of years at this period.
The shortage applies to all offer
ings. Very limited supplies of dressed
turkeys are shown here. Heal No. 1
birds are practically missing but
some in-between kinds are arriving
and selling around 32c for toms.
SHORTS CAUGHT
IN WHEAT MART
AID PRICE RISE
Chicago (LP Wheat rebounded
sharply Saturday morning on the
board of trade and alter opening
lower recovered rapidly. Short cov
ering found an over sold market
and prices reacted quickly to the
better demand, " both commission
houses and 'ocala seeking grain.
McKelvle denied making a state
ment that there would be a crop
of BOO million bushels next year.
Corn and oats were up with wheat.
At the close wheat was 1 to 1
cent higher; corn was a to cent
higher, oats was to cent high
er. Provisions were firm.
Cash prices were wheat I'a cent
lower, corn cent lower to 1 i
cent higher, oats was lower.
Receipts were wheat eight cars,
corn 101 cars and oats 20 cars.
Chicago (fV) Wheat prices un
derwent fresh setbacks early Sat
urday influenced a good deal by
downturns in Liverpool quotations.
Besides, Liverpool dispatches to one
of the largest grain houses here
said the market at Liverpool was
nervous owing to the reports of dls
sentlon in the farm board. Open
ing k to cent lower, Chicago
wheat underwent a further drop
and then rallied somewhat. Corn
and oats were easy with corn start
ing H to a to cent off, and sub
sequently holding near to the ini
tial range. Provisions advanced.
POPULATION FIGURE
UNCERTAIN BELIEF
Drs Moines iPi Present estimates
that the population of the United
States will be 196,000.000 in the year
2100 have been questioned by Prof.
Henry Schultz, University of Chi
cago. Speaking of a Joint session of the
American Mathematical society and
the American association for the
Advancement of Science, he Raid
that "the chanres are even that the
estimate will differ from the actual
population by 10.500,000."
The flaw in the forecast, he claim
ed, resulted from errors due to pro
jecting into the fot ure curves made
on graphs according to post popu
lation trends.

24 GRANULES HELD
BASE OF HEREDITY
Drs Molnrs MT Twenty-four tiny
granules In cells of the human body
may govern the resemblance of a
child to its parents.
Dr. P. O. Adamstone of the Uni
versity of Illinois presented this con
clusion rerently before the Ameri
can Society of ZooloKlsts, meeting
with the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
The statement was bused on an
actual count of the granules, min
ute rod-like bodies known as chro
mosones and so small that they had
to be magnified 2,tK!0 times to be
seen cclarly.
His study revealed that "the num
ber of chromosoes in the cells of
man is 24. or a number very close
to it." In contradiction to another
count of 48 that has been generally
accepted since 1923.
The cromosocs lie in the nuc
leus of the cells of the body which
differentiate and compose the tls-
Mies, organs and ollk-r parts of a
human being.
The! rmiportance ts such that
their number and shape are bjlieved
not only to determine the character
istics inherited by an offspring from
Its parents, but to govern whether
an egg will develop Into a mammal,
bird or reptile.

later, however.
United States Steel broke below

Bethlehem Steel was depressed after
early gains. Westing house Electric,
Oeneral Electric. American Can and
other leading industrials met similar
fate. Trading was very dull, barely

parity and effectiveness of the na
tional machinery for enforcement."
In addition. It declared that care
ful consideration is being devoted to
the prohibition question, with spec
ial attention to the manufacture
and sale of industrial alcohol, coor
dination of federal enforcement
agencies and measures intended to
relieve congestion in the federal
courts.
"A considerable portion of the ac
tivities of the committee has been
given," the statement said, "to the
development of proposals for action
on most urgent questions" arising
from the prohibition laws.
Simultaneous with the publication
of the commission's statement came
an expression from senator LaFol
lette of- Wisconsin, a mcmbor of
the indcpcndcnt-rcrpublican faction,
that the crime study group be al
lowed to conduct its survey un
hampjred by outside influence of
discussion.
"The violent outcry over the en
forcement of prohibition and the
too free criticism and abuse of the
president's commission on law en
forcement," he said, "are not con
ducive to the careful, patient, scien
tific rtu'arch which the country
has a lvht to expect and demand
of that tribunal. That a deliberate
effort is being made lo hamstring
the commission and discredit its
work Lh the only fair conclusion to
be drawn from the untimely, bitter
attacks now being made upon it hi
advance of Its report."
PARROT FEVER FATAL
TO TWOJANY SICK
fContlnued from pafre 1
er. A number of friends were ex
posed to the parrot from which the
Kalmeys contracted the Illness and
the unconfirmed report of three
more caes in Maryland, placed them
within tills group. In Baltimore,
four employes of a pet shop were
sick with the disease. At Warren,
Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. McEn
tire and Miss Blody McEntire were
ill and under quarantine, with psit
tacosis and the widower of the dead
woman at Toledo was seriously 1L
from the same ailment.
Dr. dimming has no fear that
the disease will becoms epidemic,
but urges caution. He advises that
contact with newly imported par

Weaker Demand For
Pears, Stronger Call
For Logans Forseen
Ii statistical re3ults hold good from the 1029 cannery pack
in the northwest as shown following other years, next year
the pear situation should rhow a material weakening while
loganberry situation should streng
then up comewhat. However, inas
much as farmers generally have
contracted their loganberries at 5
cents, it will not make so much dif
ference to them. Or rather, it Is
likely the canneries hustled out and
contracted for 5 cents due to the
statistical condition as much as any
thing else.
The pack as revealed by figures
recently Issued show that p?ars
eclipsed anything in his Lory In the
northwest. A tremendous pack ol
2,286,012 cases cf pears wa3 made
as compared to 1,978,283 in 1928, th?
next biggest year, or an increase of
307,729 cases, the Increase being
nearly as much as was packed al
together ii the pear fine in the two
stares In 1919.
The nearest approach to the Xwo
bL P?ar years was in 1926 when a
total of 1318,233 cases was packed
in the two states and the next to
that In 1925 when 1.275.844 cases
w. a oacked in the two states. Pol-
Inwintr th Ivn hitr vars of 1925 arvt '
1926 the pear pack slumped way
down In 1927 to 818,914 cases or in
dications were that the two succes
sive big packs meant an overpack
which aided in holding conditions
down in 1927. Then came a reaction
in 1928 with the bis pack of that
year, followed by the bigger pack of
next year. If history repeats itself
it doesn't look so good for pears
next year.
However It Is the loganberry sit
uation, In which growers are more
Interested here than in pears be
cause cf the heavy acreage in this
section.
The loganberry pack in the north
west last year totalled but 354,552
cases, with 293,488 cases packed in
Oregon and 61,064 in Washington.
In 1928 there was a pack of 544,181
cases in th two states, Oregon
packing 453,857 cases and Wash
ington 90,342 cases. In 1923 there
was a banner year in the loganber
ry pack when 895.387 cases were
packed In the two .states, with 694,
758 cases packed in Oregon and
200.629 cases packed In Washing
ton. The following year in 1927 the
pack slumped to 480.975 cases in the
two states. With these figures avail
able to car. tiers probably sometime
before they reached the public a 5
cent loganaerry market was almost
automatically established and they
went out and got the berries, al
though all of them are not under
shelter. But from what can be pick
ed up it atcsnt look as though
these who haven't sold will fare
much better than those who have
unless a freeze or same other dis
turbance cuts the crop way below
normal and a 6-cent price Is forced.
If that happens probably all grow
ers will share alike in it.
Disposition of loganberries In the
can Is of interest to growers here.
it chows that the biggest bulk of
them went into No. 2 cans which
took 81,697 cases. This used to be
the biggest end of the pack but
with the advent of the mechanical
grader it was pa-sible to get out the
quality berries ftt a cheaper price
and mada it more profitable to
swell the pack in No. 2 cans and
cut down on the water erade. A to
tal of 43.966 cases of 8 ounce cans
was put up and 6.668 cases of No. 1
cans while there were only 175 cases
of the No. 2'.
On the other hand in the near
pack the No. 2'i cans took the big
gest portion, 708860 cas?s in this
size being packed while 258,444 were
packed in the No. 10 cans. A total
of 85,152 cases of peal's was packed
in No. 2 cans: 50,430 cases in No. 1
cans and 83,895 cases of 8 ounce
cans.

REID MURDOCH
CANNERY PLANS
(Continued from page 1)
the not too far distant future when
this goal is reached.
"Our capacity here will be equal
if not larger than any cannery In
the northwest," stated Mr. Madden.
Canning of all kinds of available
fruiu will be done as well as a full
line of preserve.? as the crops in
the territory will permit. The pos
sibilities of the preserving produc
tion here v.era indicated when he
stated that preserving done at Se
attle lest year included 200 tons of
strawberries, 200 tons of raspberries.
100 tons of tour Mommorency cher
ries. 100 tons each of apricots and
peaches and 50 tons each of black
berries and loganberries.
A new note wa3 sounded to cheer
same growers here when he said
that while all the peaches used for
preservmg heretofore had been
Yakima trihprtno. nvtwrimoiito will
made with local' peaches and 11
mey prove suuaoie an tne peaches
available from this Ctrict will be
used in the preserves. He has even
contracted with a local grower for
seme ground cherries to make an
experimental prewrvs with them as
jclden cherries.
Vegetable packing; In the local
plant will be mereiy in an e:xp2rl
mental stage this yer.r with some
experiments to be made in beans
to be sent to eastern branches for
trial. If it is fcund that these beans
can go Into competition against the
middle west it is likely a pack of
beans may be made in the future.
The sams trial will probably be
made with carrots.
While Mr. Madden would make no
prediction as to next year's pack he
did state that If the crop was suf
ficient is was expected from 800 to
1000 women would be employed in
the plant at the p.k of the straw
berry season.
He stated also that he hoped to
see jellies packed here later and ex
periments along that line will be
made next year. In the jellies, cur
rants, grapes, crabapples, gooseber
ries, plums and quinces are used and
it is possible all of these may come
into commercial demand here even
tually through the operations of this
plant.
Machinery Is now beginning to
arrive for installation in the can
ning rooms. Purchase has Just been
made of the largest sized closing ma
chines or sealing machines for cans,
available. These machines will seal
130 enns a minute. There will be two
machines to each cooker and four
cookers will be Installed. One of
these cookers is 35 feet long with a
capacity of 2013 No. 2'i cans at a
time. It weighs 25,000 pounds and
special concrete floors were put in
the basement to hold the weight.
Four machines of this kind will be
installed for various type cans.
The cans will be carried to the
preparation room from the tracks
by an automatic conveyor and the
conveyors are to be installed at a
cost of $10,000 in themselves. The
operation "after the preparation
room wlil be automatic through the
exhaust, drainer, syruper, sealer and
to the cooker and Itoin there au
tomatically into the basement for
cooling. The receiving room 167x60
has been remodeled and a basement
placed under the whole of it. The I
main canning room 316x102 will hold
the preparation room and Allen
graders and machinery and cocker.
A complete line of W. G. Allen's
cannery equipmnt will be installed, j
uver tne mam noor win oe put a
half inch Johns-Manviile mastic
floor at a cost of jiaOO. A complete
automatic sprinkling system is being
installed through all buildings at a
cost of $30,000.
Preserving will be done on the
west side of the main room with 16
preserve kettles and syrupers will be
on the floor above delivering syrup
automatically to the preserve kettles.
A cafeteria ft ill be installed on the
mezzanine over the main prepara
tion room and the new woman's lav
atory now being constructed of con
crete at a cost ot 6000 will be at
the rear of the preparation room in
a separate building. This building la
now half finished waiting for cold
weather to end to pour the concrete.
At the west cf the main room a
huge sterilizer for preserves has
been Installed and these will be
cooled in a large cooler and also
automatically run to the basement.
The entire basement has been
renovated, much of it made over.
The entire floor capacity of the
basement is 483 feet with part of It
102 feet aide and part 60 feet wide.
This will be used largely for stor
age of canned fruits and preserves.
The two upper floors each 50t:20J
feet have been remodeled and being
placed in shape for use. The top
Uoor will be used for storage of re
serve supply of empty cans. On
the third floor where were the old
prune bins a portion will be used
lor that purpose. The plant ex
pecU to use 200,000 sacks of sugar
the coming year. Here also will be
installed the syrup kettles.
The concern has installed a new
sewer. A machine shop has been
placed In the south end of the
tasrinenti Thf w horse vom
boilers In the boiler room have been
remodeled. A 20.000 gallon oil
tank Installed near the bojer room.
A new water tower for the sprink
ling system has been placed at the
rear. This has a capacity of 60.000
gallons and Is 100 feet high.
It ts planned to grade, park and
beautify the grounds both front and
