QUIET TRADING
FEATURES EGG,
BUTTER DEALS
Portland, Ore., (IP) There was no
change in the price of eggs here
for the day in general.
Generally quiet trading tone la
shown for butter In the local ter
ritory as well as in the north and
south. Speculative interest appears
lagging. There was no change In
the price for the day.
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.
Yellow onions are lower with
mose sales $2.50 cental.
Fancy quality eastern Texas to
matoes are finding a better call at
$3 lug repacked. Market overstock
ed with junk.
Asparagus market continues weak.
Strawberries were scarce, firm
and higher generally.
Both old and new potatoes are
steady and fairly active.

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:

He opposed the movement to have

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

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.

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. Im
ported Eagle's Double Boy and Im
ported Lion Farm s Successor, a
son of Sybil's Successor.
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, -

closed sharply lower, stop-loss or
ders being picked up on the way

and some short covering serving to
check the decline. Lack of aggres

factor, all grains feeling the ellect
of this. Rye and oats also hit new
bottoms during the day, corn hold

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

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.

YOU HAVE A DOCTOR'S
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE
In 1815. an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. 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.
