SUTTER SUPPLY
SHORTAGE FELT,
PRICES STRONG
Portland (IP) Strengthening of
the position of the butter market
at mid-west and eastern points at
this time Is more or less of season
able character. Along the Pacific
slops there Is little material change
In the price ,11st or in conditions. -Shortage
of butter In the Port'
land territory continues unabated
with a consequent strengtnening ox
the Price situation. No change,
horn-ever, was made In quotations for
the day.
Scramble for butterfat has be
come the greatest of the season to
date. Sales of butter continue to
gain faster than the Increase In
production, which now appears al
most general along the coast.
Continued steadiness of the egg
market situation is reflected here.
In fact steadiness Is Indicated gen
erally along the coast storage op
erations continue to gain heavily In
all sections.
So scarce are live chickens at
this time that some of the killers
are offering up to 23 cents pound
for both light and medium weight
hens. Purchases of heavy stock are
reported up to 25 cents pound. No
Improvement in the supply.
Market for dressed turkeys Indi
cates no change either In price or
condition for the day. Hens are
selling 28 cents pound generally for
number 1. with toms at 30 cents
pound. Receipts are of fair volume,
Likewise demand.
Pi.ce of cheese Is down 1 cent
pound at Tillamook, according to
announcement of Carl Haberlach,
sales head. The new price there ks
24 cents for triplets and 25 cents
for loaf, both 1 cent below any
mark a year ago.
Active trading tone Is continued
In the market for country killed
hogs. Lamb situation Is just steady.
Beef Is In good call.
Further advancing tendency Is
noted In the market for citrus fruits.
The California exchange continues
to stiffen the price of oranges. Re
ports indicate an early upward swing
for lemons. Uusually the marketing
of lemons Is greatest In March and
April, says Harry Larsen of the
West Coast Fruit company.
Owing to the fact that the price
advanced to such a point that con
sumption was curtailed, an easier
situation Is reflected in the broccoli-cauliflower
market here. Re
ceipts are still curtailed from the
Umpqua.
Mexican tomatoes are firm at full
prices. Quality good.
Choice hot house rhubarb Is a
trifle scarce. Others unchanged. -
Hothouse cucumbers In larger
supply and prices are easier.
Imperial peas are firmly . priced
up to 1ft cents pound.
Potatoes are firmly priced with
an active local call.
Walla Walla spinach Is scarce and
the price higher.
Mrket Is well supplied with ripe
bananas. Price unchanged.
Lettuce Is showing firmer tone
In the south.
HUSTON DENIES
RUMORSOFQUITTING
" (Continued from piur 1)
clation's activities In connection j
with Muscle Shoals legislation, Hus- i
ton, a former president of the or- j
t animation, said that J. W. Worth -ington,
executive chairman of the
association was probably the only I
person who could give the commit-;
tee the desired Information. He pro
mised, however, to attempt to obtain
the records. j
Chairman Caraway of the com
mittee had previously charged that
Worthing on was "dodging' the
committee. After Huston said the
secretary was HI In a Detroit hos
pital, Caraway remarked that he
would remain "sick'' until there was
no danger that the committee would
question him. Huston suggested that
U the committee members did not
believe Worthington was "really ill"
they should make efforts to have
him appear.
Huston said his former organisa
tion had collected between 9400.000
and $500,000 since It was created
several years ago. He said It had re
ceived as much as 975,000 In ft year
and as little as $30,000.

LARGE VOLUME
SHARES TRADED
IN STOCK MART
New York (IP) Trading on the
stock exchange Wednesday broke all
records for 1930 In volume witn
prices moving Irregularly.
Total sales were 4.470,080 snares
compared with 3.993.740 shares on
Friday ana .s,vu snares on
February i, the previous 1930 re
cord.
According to preliminary cal
culations the Dow Jones and com
pany Industrial average declined
3 5 to 272.71, and the railroad
average lost 0.31 to 152.23.
This irregularity was orougnt
about chiefly by reports of lower
steel production and car loadings
that fell below this time a year ago
though they were above the previous
week. The market was lower at tne
opening, rallied around noon and
then sagged again.
Easy money the rate leu to S'i
from 4 per cent and a sharp rally
In the oils on decreased production
and a firmer price tendency, failed
to bring about a recovery that would
hold.
Most of the oil shares went to new
highs for the year in the best move
this group has seen lor several
months. On the late decline the pe
troleum group eased only moderately
compared with the remainder of the
list. Instead of selling off, the group
turned dull.
Adjustment of prices in Issues
whose earnings might be Impaired
went ahead vigorously. Simmons was
considered in this category and bears
forced it to a new low since 1926 at
53, where It was off 4;i. Gillette
made a new low on the move, 88 3-8
off 2;. United States Industrial Al
cohol suffering from price reduc
tions in its line fell to 104 i, a new
1030 low and decline of T points.
Sharp breaks were made by Unit
ed States Steel, Radio. Bethlehem
8teel, Westinghouse Electric, Amer
ican and Foreign Power and General
Electric. American Water Works
dropped more than 3 points, and
Toungstown Sheet at Tube more
than 6. The latter was depressed be
cause of the hitch which developed
In its plans to be merged with Beth
lehem Steel.
Motor shares eased off after a
spurt of strength In the afternoon.
Yellow Truck, an exception, rose In
the late trading as did Nash. Gener
al Motors and Packard, early lead
ers, declined from their highs, rec
ords for the year.
DEMAND FOR PLANTS

farmers are scouring the country
in an effort to get plants for new

fall last fall was such as to prevent
a good percentage of the plants
from rotting properly. Quite a bit
of new acreage Is going out here
and there both In Marshall! and
Etterbergs where thj plants are

"I haven't been out the past few

Washington ijft The additional
tlOO.000,000 for the federal farm
board recently ' requested by the
board' was approved Wednesday by
the senate without opposition.
The fund was added to the first
deficiency bill after sharp debate
over the policies of the board during

board with the Canadian wheat pool
In opposition to England, France

Brooknart expressed a belief that

blamed the board for not asking

he believed the board was doing all
it "poesioiy can at mis time.
Senator McKeliar, democrat. Ten

that the board was "gambling" to

such a practice. ;Nary denied the

STRAW VOTE
ON DRY LAW TO
INFLUENCE HOPS
Hop men ore beginning to discuss
the possibilities forecast by the pro
hibition poll being taken by the Lit
erary Digest In terms of immediate
effect on the situation in the valley
If the vote continues to indicate an
overwhelming sentiment In favor of
the repeal of the prohibition law.
It is declared by some that reports
continuing on this basis are apt to
cause a slump In the movement to
cut down hop production by discon
tinuance of hop yards and Is apt to
result in some farmers who are now
seriously considering such, a move
thinking twice again before they
take definite action. .
While the returns so far taken
give only a very small percentage of
the expected vote and to a large ex
tent Indicate that the cities are vot
ing overwhelmingly for repeal while
some country sections are more or
less for retention of prohibition.
some of the hop men declare that
the final outcome will even go
stronger In favor of repeal With
that sentiment among the growers
many of them will think twice be
fore following up the plan to reduce
acreage expecting a distinct reaction
throughout the country with pos
sible resultant favorable legislation.
They point out how closely the re
turns on the Hoover-Smith straw
vote forecast the actual returns and
that because of this result the final
result on the prohibition straw vote
will be taken much more seriously. ;
At the -same time hop men arc i
not counseling any change in the
talk of reducing production by re-:
ducing acreage. They say if any re-1
action is felt tnrougn legislation it
will take some time even if the
country should vote by an enormous
majority in favor of repeal and tnat
definite action along that line is
doubtful for a considerable length
of time at best. And in the mean
time the hop men ale confronted
with serious market conditions that
cannot be disputed, they declare.

LEGOE ADVISES
REDUCTION IN
WHEAT ACREAGE
Washington IP Chairman Lcgge
of the federal farm board, has be
gun an Intensive campaign to get
wheat farmers to reduce their acre
age next year, which he sees as the
only salvation for depressed prices
as the result of his experience with
the present emergency. -
The farm board chairman and ag
riculture department officials hith
erto have recommended a 10 per
cent cut In acreage, but Legge is
sued a virtual ultimatum Tuesday
in which he, said, in effect, unless
farmers reduce their production
there is nothing the board can do
for them.
In a letter to Governor George P.
Shafer of North Dakota, he pictured
very critical situation, pointing
out there is no hope for an export
market of any size, and that the
board will have 100,000,000 bushels
of grain on its- hand at the end of
the present year.
If farmers are going ahead to
produce an additional surplus
the basis that some way will be
found to take care of it on a fan
price level another year, they are
going to be mistaken, Lcggc said,
bluntly.
"If they will cooperate the stabil
ization corporation will be Justified
In paying storage charges and car
rying this wheat tor a tune In the
hope that a crop shortage some
where In the world will give them
an opportunity to Unload It, but on
the other hand, the farmers' atti
tude is to let George do it all, the
natural procedure would seem to be
to dispose of this wheat the best
they could and write off the loss."
This, however, "would probably
adversely affect the price of the
1930 crop, he added.
ROTARY HEARS"
MILLER TALK
ON STATE LANDS
Each slate is a sovereign state and
should control Its public domain.
Milton A. Miller, of Portland, stated
before the Rotary club Wednesday
noon, in support ot President Hoov
er's proposal to return something
like 200.000,000 acres back to cer
tain states, directly affecting eleven
western states or 13,221.141 acres in
Oregon alone, mcst of which Is In
the southeastern portion of - tne
state.
Proper management and supervi
sion of the land In question .now
used only for grazing purposes.
would bring a sevenue of at least
$1,000,000, Miller pointed out. hold
ing that the acreage, if sold for
$1.50 an acre, would bring the state
some $20,000,000.
There Is no Question but at pres
ent this land Is subject to use and
abuse without Tegular restrictions
and this condition exists because
present land laws are wholly un
suited to their efficient develop
ment," Miller said. "We are there
fore led to the conclusion that If
they were under state supervision.
conditions would be much better."
Practically none of these lands can
be commercially reforested, but in
any event the forest reserves could
be rounded out from where mis is
desirable, he added.
Miller closed his addras with the
statement that the people as a
whole, and people of the western
states, the small stockmen and
farmers by whom the lands are
primarily used, should direct the
management and policies governing
their use through state ' govern
ment. He estimated that in the
next Quarter-century the population
of the nation will increase from 40
to S0.000.000, much of which will
be in the west, and that Oregon, In
particular, with Its soil, - climate,
ports, fishing and lumbering indus
tries, should preserve all Its natural
resources, particularly water power.

WHEAT DECLINE
AT LIVERPOOL
DRINGS SLUMP
Chicago (IP) A good rally which
began Just before noon the board
of trade recovered a good share of
the early losses scored in the early
trading when the market . verged
upon ta collapse The sensational
drop at Liverpool was the chief
undermining factor. The support
was attributed to houses with east
ern connections and farm board
agencies but th -market' was still
off sharply at the close. Corn and
oats were very weak.
. At the close wheat was 1 to 2?fc
cents lower, corn was 131 to 2 '.4
cents lower and oats was H to 1H
cents, lower. Provisions were off
10 to 12 points. -
Chicago (Pi Under pressure of
general selling, wheat, corn and rye
all smashed down here early Wed
nesday to low price records for the
current season. Demoralized mar
ket conditions at Liverpool, where
wheat showed an vernight drop of
4 pence a bushel, was largely re
sponsible, together with reduced
estimates of world Import needs, as
well as official announcement that
for 60 days yet there was no likeli

OLD CHERRY TREE
.- TROUBLE APPEARS
Reports are coming: In from var
ious farmers to the effect that
here and there the condition which
has been prevalent In cherry or
chards the past few years of spurs
failing to mature properly Is again
showing up in the cherry orchards
to a certain extent this year. The
present reports do not indicate any
great prcvalency this year as yet
although a number of the reports
have come In from different sec
tions. This trouble has never been def
initely analyzed although college ex
perts have been working on It for
the past three or four years. It
will sometimes hit the spurs on
whole branches and there will be
no complete -development.
county inspector Van Trump says
he is inclined to the opinion that
it might be caused by winter injury.
One of the college specialists was
working on the theory that lack of
moisture caused it but Van Trump
said it has been shown that often
orchards which have been culti
vated showed it worse the next year
than those which were not.

sayer .
The potato market at Yakima
valley points became excited again
and further price-advances were
made. At Portland, however, liberal
offerings of local potatoes prevented
any great activity in the movement -of
Yakima stock. A stronger under
tone was shown through, and good
Yaklmas were advanced 10-15 cents
per cwt.
The shipplng-polnf lettuce mar
kets were l.rmer, with f. o. b. sales
advancing 10-15 cents per crate.
The Portland lettuce market ha
not reflected this advance yet.
"Oranges continue firm, with ad
ditional slight advances again Wed
nesday, especially on smaller sizes.
'Fresh green peas were featured
on the wholesale market from the
Imperial valley, at $6.75-7.00 per
45-lb crate.
"Asparagus weakened again, to
22', cents per pound as a result of
more liberal arrivals.
"Oregon onion growers are sell
ing No. 1 stock at 65-75 cents per
cwt., plus sacks. Probably 56 per
cent of current loadings are being
