Local killers are trying to stimu late demand for chickens and es pecially for broilers by naming values on resales that leave but scant margin of profit. There was no change in buying prices for the day. Continued sluggishness is reflect ed in the market for country killed calves and especially anything be low extreme quality. Stale stuff Is still dominating the market. Quiet trade Is showing in the market for country killed lambs with low prices continued gener ally. Market for hogs is fairly ac tive with no change indicated in the price list. Beef remains very slow. First of the season's honeydew melons have arrived here. Initial shipment from California Is re ported by the Pacific Fruit com pany. The stock was packed in flat crates, of good quality, and prices 2. The Pacific Fruit company also had In the first carload of Cali fornia apricots of the season. Ac cording to Ray Ryan of the Gen eral Fruit co.. the stock, which ar rived from Orland, Is of good quality; something likely to prove scarce this season. With increased local offerings and quality not quite desirable the market for peas Is slowing up somewhat. Weaker prices were shown for the day. Shipping de mand is good, but only for top quality, which Is not plentiful. Watermelons are again weaker and lower at 3 'A to 4'c lb. Cantaloupes are doing better for the better stuff, much junk.

WOOLlDYlNG STIMULATED BY STRONG DEMAND Boston, fJP) The Commercial Bulletin of Boston will say Sat urday : "A General buyinc movement on the part of the manufacturers has caused the wool dealers to buy more Intensely in the west and It is estimated over two-thirds of the new domestic clip has passed out ol the hands of the producers, at prices which have snown a streng thening tendency. "In the eastern seaboard mar kets, prices have not changed ma terially during the past week: but clearly in favor of the seller. Pine and fine medium wools constitute the bulk of the business done but there has been a broader inquiry for the medium wools. "The manufacturing position Is believed to be sound and encourag ing, although a large proportion of the wool taken for manufacturers' accounts doubtless has been in an tlclpatlon of needs and in the be ll tf that wool Is cheap. "The foreign markets are steady for the most part. Interest Is being shown in the proposed tariff chang es both here and abroad, although many are more concerned to have the matter definitely settled than they are about the rates in the bin. "Mohair is quiet, with prices un changed.' The bulletin will publish the fol lowing quotations: Oregon : Fine and P. M. stapale, 73-73; fine and P. M. Pr. combing 70-74; fine and P.

SENATE TOLD TO CONSIDER TERMS (Continued from page 1) tion Is giving It overwhelming sup port The nature of the criticism, he added, is evidence that in formu lating the treaty concessions were evenly distributed. He criticized naval officers who testified against the pact before sen ate committees, and praised the stand of Admiral William V. Pratt. who sumiorts the pact. He opposed the movement to have senate ratification postponed until later in the year, predicting If this were done "the bitter efforts of a single group of newspapers which Is now devoted to defeat of the treaty" would be directed toward making the pact an issue In the coming sen atorial campaigns. CHINESE SEEKING AN ARMISTICE (Continued from psge 1 said that Chang Hsueh-Uang, gov ernor of Manchuria, and IA cm- Sen, former governor of Canton, were being urged to undertake m eo lation In the Dresent conflict.

BIDDING HIGKER IN HOP MARKET DUE TO MILDEW Portland 'Jl Reports ot possible damage to the crop Irom hat Is known as downy mildew has Inject ed sudden life Into the hop market and one result Is a material ad vance in prices, with considerable Inquiry as to production. The 1929 crop is reported as attracting bids at 10 cents, while 1930 contracts are reported as 12'i to 13 cenU lor clusters and as high as 15 cents for higgles, the earlier variety. There Is much speculation as to how much damage is being done or will be done by the mildew, a plant disease discovered In Europe 10 years ago. The extent of Its spread in Oregon yards has not yet been determined. CONTROVERSY ON FARM BOARD UP TO SENATE Washington (JP) The controversy over the federal farm board's activ ities In the grain market was placed squarely before the senate' Friday by the nomination of Alexander H. Legge to serve a second term as chairman of the board. Intensive criticism of the board's policies has been expressed In busi ness circles, particularly by tne United States chamber of com merce. This was based upon the contention that the board's use of its $500,000,000 revolving fund In buying grain hampered competition and was detrimental to private in terests. Announcing Legge's reappointment late Thursday, the White House also made public the nomination of G. C. Teague of California, to serve a second term the board. At the same time the nomination of W. Cameron Forbes of Boston as am bassador to Japan was announced. Legge and Teague were originally appointed to serve one year terms these ending at midnight Saturday. The confirmation of Legge was op posed a year ao by farm organiza tions and senators irom tne norm- west. A close watch was kept Friday for an indication of renewed opposi tion from this source, as well as for signs of a contest based upon the criticism of grain dealers and other business men. With the Forbes appointment the last ot the major diplomatic vacan cies was filled. He succeeds Wil liam Castle, who served at Tokyo temporary during the London naval conference and is soon to re turn to his post of assistant secre tary of state. BIEHN PREDICTS 65 PER CENT OF BERRY CROP Probably a 65 per cent soft straw berry crop Is predicted by Ed Biehn, well known local fruit handler who for a number of years has had charge of tne R. D. Bodle & Com pany strawberry inwresta in the valley and has handled their big shipments out of Lacombe. The Bodle company has a receiving of fice here this year at the Terminal Ice 6z Storage company where receives the Lacombe berries. Blehn states that the quality of berries has never been better and" the Lacombe output Is wonderful this year. In addition he states there will be a pretty nearly full crop in the Lacombe, Union hill and similar sections where there was more moisture at a propitious time and the plants have produced in great shape. But straight through he figures 65 per cent would cover the total tonnage for the valley as compared to a normal year. Nevertheless the qualty Is holding fine on virtually all valley Marsh a lis, he states, and large, highly flavored and luscious berries are the prevailing rule. The fact that the Lacombe. un ion hill and some other sections where moisture conditions were bet ter over other sections last fall are showing fine crops with some patches having indications of crops right up to normal, I think it pretty good evidence of wliat is causing a short crop this year," stated Biehn. if we had had something diner ent than the dry fall last year with the usual amount or moisture at the right time no doubt the valley would have seen one of the biggest strawberry crops in history. "Up at Union mil t.vrc are some wonderful berries and they are get ting big pickings now of some ox the finest berries ever aeen any where. And Lacombe Is also pro ducing a wonderful crop of line bt rrles. 'Of course, this year It Is hard to say when any peak Is coming along but I should say this week wouia be about as near the peak as could be picked out this season. If we get one real hot day It la liable to close up the season on Marshall as quickly as any mm? else and the kind of weather we are getting now is letting them ripen off in good shape. Strawberry pick ing has been going on since May 30 and it Is lengthennlg out Into a long picking season. TEACHERS ARE HOME Scio Misses Hazel and Maysell Delong were in from the farm east of Solo the fore part of the week, having recently completed their school work near Parkdaie, ore. where they expect to teach again next year. They were accompanied to Scio by their father, wno is on crutches as a result ot an auto col lision with a truck at the Hannah bridge. He Is slowly recovering from h injuries. Jersey Club Enjoys Picnic Dinner on Successful Tour Brush Creek Over 35 members of the Marion County Jersey Cattle club and their friends enjoyed a picnic dinner lit the farm home of Victor S. Madsen here Wednesday noon. This was the first tour the Mar- Ion county club has taken and everyone making It expressed him i and herself as being greatly pleased I at its success. During the day nine j Jersey farms, representing a total ; of over 300 fine head of registered i Jerseys, were visited. The tour began shortly before 11 o'clock at the M. O. Gunderson farm in the Bethany district. Here 23 head of splendid animals were seen, not least important of these were the famous herd sires.

The three Torvend brothers farms, also In the Bethany district, were next visited, Henry and Silas Torvend each had 17 and 24 heads respectively. At Samuel Torvend s home Lad's Lady Rinda's Eagle, the herd sire and the grand champion winner at the Marlon county spring Jersey show, was a big attraction. Mr. Torvend has 15 head n all. Prom the Torvend farms the tour shifted from the Bethany district to the Brush Creek district, where the picnic dinner was enjoyed. Cof fee and cream were served by Mr. and Mrs. Victor Madsen. Following the picnic dinner some time was spent in viewing the 16 head of Jerseys owned by Madsen. Here again the herd sire, Eagle's Eminant Progress, the son of Im ported Eagle's Double Boy, came In for considerable Ivaorable com ment. The Madsen bull won the ieserve champion cup at the suing show. At 1:30 the long line of cars made its way to the Merton De- Quire herd within the city limits of Silver ton. DeQuire, who runs a dairy of 75 fine head of pure bred Jerseys, has gained an enviable rep utation for his continued refusal to sell anything from his herd for breeding purposes which Is not up to his standard. From the DeGulre dairy the Jer sey tourists made their way out to Jack Fox" dairy where a splendid herd of 50 head was viewed, and the fine herd sire, Golden Glow's Chief of Silver Cliff, called forth many "oh's and ah's.' Another big herd. 75 head all told was visited at the Fred Rorden farm. The St. Mawes' blood was very prominent here. The old herd sire, Zoe's St. Hawe's Lad, now 10 years old. is being replaced by younger sires of equally good blood, noticeable among them Christmas Volunteer s Lad. The last herd visited was also the smallest herd visited during the day. This was that of Sander Johnson, who Is building up a fine herd east of Silverton. Johnson has but eight head at present but what he lacks in quantity he quite makes ud for In quality. Two daughters of Lion Farm's Oxford and one of Imported Eagle's Double Boy were particularly attractive. M. G. Gunderson, who managed the tour Wednesday, announced that the next Marion county Jersey tour would be held sometime in July in the north end of the county, the exact date to be set later, - NEWSPAPERS WORK FOR CITY CLEANUP (Continued from page 1) that "civic decency and security of life and property must be restored to Chicago," was signed by the pub lishers of the -Evening American, the Daily News, the Evening Post, the Datlv illustrated Times, tne Herald and Examiner, the Journal of Commerce and the Tribune. The Intolerable outrages of the last year against civic decency and public security In Chicago nave culminated dramatically in the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, a news paper reporter," tne declaration read. "The undersigned newspapers in terpret that murder as an especial ly significant challenge to the mil lions or accent cilisens wno nave suffered the vicious activities of some paltry hundreds of criminal vagrants known as gangsters. "Considering the causes and con. notations of the unbelievable total of 100 gang murders in little more than a year, we pledge our organ izations and our resources to the cleanup of gang, police, officials and other public vlclousness wnerever it may appear, in order that cor ruption may be brought to an end. and thereby restoring to tne ciuzens of Chicago civic decency ana secur ity of life and nroDety. Added to tne cold type appeal of the newspapers were the voices of dozens of ministers, headed by Dr. John Thompson, pastor of the Sky scraper First Methodist church, and the Rev. Phillip Yarrow, chairman of the political action committee of the Chicago federation of cnurcnes. Progress of the police, with their sharpshooter squadrons, was kept under cover In the hopes that they could pounce on the murderer un awares and get a confession before chancing advance publicity.

WHEAT DRIVEN SHARPLY DOWN TO LOW LEVEL Chicago (IP) General commission house and local selling drove July wheat to a new low on the crop just before noon on the Board ot Trade, bringing in the first real buying of the day. Prices, however, closed sharply lower, stop-loss or ders being picked up on the way down and only buying against bids and some short covering serving to check the decline. Lack of aggres sive buying has become the chief factor, all grains feeling the ellect of this. Rye and oats also hit new bottoms during the day, corn hold ing better than the other grains. At the close wheat was 2 to 2 3-Bc lower, corn was ,i to 7-Bc lower and oats was to 7-8c lower. Pro visions were steady. Chicago (m Quick rallies from initial downturns In values formed the rule early "rlday In the wheat market here. Additional rains in Canadian wheat territory helpful as a further relief from drought were responsible for price setbacks at the opening, but Canadian reports of severe crop damage were a' at hand stimulating, buyers. Starting l:-lc lower, wheat afterward more than recovered. Corn, oats ana provisions developed firmness like wise, with corn opening 3-8-',ic off, and subsequently showing an all around advance. BLIND CROSSING MENACE STILL HANGING FIRE Elimination of the hump of ground at the deaf school near the Oregon Electric crossing over cner rv avenue has not been forgotten but Just delayed, siatca uounty En gineer Hedda Swart when asked what steps were Demg unten u) clear up crossing complaints at that point. The hump of ground virtual ly shuts off view of the railroad track for all traffic coming from fhe north and even driving up to the crossing and stopping does not make an entirely safe passage across the track as the view from the track to the south Is still somewhat shut off. The matter of cutting down the hump was brought before the court last year and a number of confer ences had been held between rail road, state and county officials. The survey made by the county, how ever, provided unsatisfactory to the deaf school head wno iouna tnai the cut to be made in the hump would also make a cut well out onto the state grounds and into the lawn in front of the state buildings. He made a .protest against that plan and It was abandoned. Engineer Swart then made anoth er survey based on a new calcula tion of filling the road' for some distance back from the crossing to the north. This fill would give but a gradual incline up to the crossing and lift the road to such an extent that a car approaching from the north would be lifted up sufficiently to have a good view ol the track In boin directions, jnis plan would also obviate the neces sity of a cut into the state land at all. The plan would require the ap proval of Oregon Electric officials. slated Swart, and he has been so tied up getting market road work under way he has been unable to get In touch with the railroad offi cials. However, he expects to take it up with them at a date as early as possible and It is likely some steps toward the Improvement may be made this year. Traffic on Cherry avenue gets heavier every year and considerable demand has been made for a change In conditions at this crossing. PANTAGES' CASE HELD PUBLICITY STUNT (Continued from page 1 charge of burglary, he was freed by Pitts and. given $15 to leave Los Angeles.

Pantages was convicted of as saulting Miss Pringle when she railed at his office to see about ob taining a booking for a dancing act. DOWNY MILDEW DATA SECURED BY POLK AGENT Information on the downy mil dew of the hop which has been dis covered in Oregon yards Is given in a pamphlet Just Issued by J. R. Beck, county agent of Polk county, in whoso county the worst ravages have been reported. The Informa tion Is mainly from English sources where considerable experience has been had in fighting the tunsus. The Information In the pamphlet Issued by County Agent Beck Is as follows: "The downy mildew of the hop is a fungus disease that Is causing serious losses in most of the hop growing districts of the world. J. W. Eastham, provincial plant path ologist of British Columbia, states that mildew Is present In all yards of that province. So far this dis ease has not been found in our yards but it Is the purpose of this leaflet to acquaint hop growers with the nature of the disease so that they can be constantly on the alert to recognize it and if possible pre vent its introduction. The following material Is quoted direct from a publication of this same name. Issued by Professor E. S. Salmon and W. M. Ware of the Southeastern Agricultural college. Wye, Kent, Eng., and Is reproduced here by permission of the authors. Space did not permit complete re production. "The damage caused by the hop Downy Mildew may be of the gret est magnitude; in the severest at tacks it may result in the total loss of the crop. In less severe attacks, when the cones are turned dark brown but are not destroyed, the losses are still very considerable, since the market value of the hops is greatly depreciated through loss of color in the dried sample. In Ger many and elsewhere on the Conti nent, total destruction of the crop has been experienced In many dis tricts. "The disease appears first in March or April in the form of ab normal, pale green or silvery-gray, spike-like shoots coming out of the crown of the hill amons the normal young green vines. On these spike like shoots, which may conveniently be called 'basal spikes,' the fungus produces on the underside of the curled leaves and also often over the surface ot the stem, black masses of snores which serve to spread the disease to the leaves of healthy vines In the neighborhood. "As soon as the leaves of normal vines become Infected, pale yellow spots arise, which in the course of a few days become brown and of sharp angular outline. Dark masses of spores are produced on the under surface of the leaf opposite the brown angular soots and these, un der favorable conditions, spread the disease to the young leaves as they are produced higher up the vine, leading finally to the appearance ot the fungus on the leaves of the la teral branches among the cones. When the fungus Is established there and Is producing spore3. the danger arises that the cones will be attacked and irremediatle injury caused. "The disease may also affect the growing vine when it is about five to seven feet high and suddenly transform the tip Into a spike-like or tufted growth, more or less rigid and non-climbing, with the . leaves close together. These terminal spikes and indeed all spiked growths, when cut off and split with a knife, show that the pith has been Invaded by the spawn of the fungus and turned a brown color. "The hop cones when ripe or nearly so, may be suddenly attacked and in wet weather ruined In color, within two or three days. "Since the chief sources of infec tion are the 6pores produced, often In great quantity, on the basal spikes, the latter should be searched for and removed throughout the season. Where terminal spikes occur, these should be cut off and a heal thy lateral trained up. The vines should be stripped of their leaves in stages up to the breast wire or 'belt', as soon as it Is safe to do so: in this way the gradual upward passage of the fungus from the low ermost leaves to the top of the vine may be Intercepted and prevented. It Is of the utmost importance to clear out from the hill all super fluous, shoots and runners' and to remove any lateral shoots that arise from the stripped part of the vines. Thus, at the time when the hops are In 'burr' and afterwards, no green leaf should be found between the ground and the breast-wire. "In Germany where since 1923 the outbreaks ot Downy Mildew have been far more severe than in this country (England), spraying with Bordeaux mixture Is becoming a regular practice. On an average the hop growers have sprayed ten times. "It appears safe on the whole to recommend In this country a one per cent, home-made Bordeaux mixture, which Is the strength commonly used on the Continent. "It Is suggested tentatively that four applications be given: (1) When the vine Is three-quarters up: 2) when the vine has reached the top: (3) Just before the hops are 'in burr'; and (4) Immediately the burr stage' Is passed. ' Any hop grower finding vines which seem to be Infected with this disease are urged to report them at once to the county agricultural ag ent or to the plant pathologist of the Oregon Agricultural college, com plete detailed information of the experimental work, extracU of which are quoted above, are avail able in the office of the Folk county agricultural agent.

TOWN GROWERS TOLD TO SPRAY Owners of cherry trees in town producing black cherries who expect to sell their cherries for shipment mu&t be just as careful with their spraying as owners of commercial orchards if they wish to dispose of ihem to shippers, declares Roy Hur&t, local cherry shipper. "Cherry trees must be sprayed Im mediately," stated Hurst "and thi application should be followed ui each week until after harvest. Wt buy several tons of Lamberts and Bings each season from trees in town. In case growers have no spray gun a rose sprayer will do. A simple expedient is to mix the spray in bucket and throw it onto the leaves with a whisk broom. This will bo just as effective. There is no more excuse for wormy cherries at horn in town than in the commercial orchards."' Hurst states that In event -meth ods of spraying mentioned cannot be followed he can supply the nam of a man who will do the spraying with a regular spray outfit. DR. DAVIS LEAVING Amity Dr. O. A.

As a family doctor, he caw the harm in harsh puga lives for constipation and began to search for something harmless to the sensitive bowels. Out of his experience was born ft famous prescription. He wrote it thousands of times. It proved an Ideal laxative for old and young. As people saw how ajarrelously the most sluggish bowels are started and bad breath, headaches, feverishness, nausea, gas. poor appetite, and such disorders, are relieved by the pre scription, it became necessary to put up ready for use. Today. Pr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the world's most popular laxative. It never varies from Dr. Caldwell's original effective and harmless for mula. All drug stores have it. adr.
