Newspaper Page TextSATURDAY, JUNE 21. 1930 ha;eten THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON - BUTTER BARELY STEADY, HEAVY HENS STRONGER Portland (IP) Market for butter Is just holding Its own as regards price. Decreasing make continues In all Pacific slope sections although this Is having very little Influence upon the price. There continues a lack of change In egg market trading here, Shad ing of values continues especially among northern Interests. The co ops here report no change In selling Values. Market for heavy hens Is Just about steady: the recent easiness having disappeared. Light hens and broilers are generally unchanged In price, although some are quoting card prices lower. Recent offering of kippered shad by local interests has made an un usual hit in the trade. Owing to the extreme quality of the fish, repeat sales have been unusually liberal for a new offering. While lambs appear to show a slightly better demand since the heavy price reduction, the market for country killed meats in general Is very quiet. This applies alike to veal and beef. Hogs are fairly stea dy. With Increasing local supplies and with promise of a carload movement from central Washington, the mar ket for nen potatoes Is losing some of Its recent strength although no general change In the price Is as yet noticeable. ADVERTISING AS BOON TO PEAR GROWER URGED Wenatchee, Wash. fP) The neces sity and value of advertising and merchandising as a means of In creasing the sale and improving the price of pears was stressed in a statement Issued by the Pacific Pear O rowers' association of which David H. Rocnberg, Mcdford, Ore., is presi dent. Approximately $80,000,000 Is In vested In 10.000,000 pear trees now growing in Pacific coast states, the association pointed out, and the sig nificant fact brousht out was that less than one-half oT these pear trees have yet reached bearing age. This means, the report said, that the future will bring lower prices and poorer returns unless something Is done to make people eat and use more pears. The California orange and lemon growers faced a similar situation several years ago, the pear association reported, but they met It by establishing an advertising and soiling fund ranging all the way lrom 5 to 15 cents a box. As the result the output of orang es and lemons has more than dou bled during the past 20 years, the average price per box also has dou bled.

CITY PROTESTS PLAN FOR LAKE Preservation of power rights In the Marion lake district is still de manding the attention of the city and Friday a formal protest against the approval of the application of the Northwest Power company for permiftion to appropriate water lrom Marion lake and the North Santiam for the power development project estimated to cost $6,000,000 was liled with Rhea Luper. state engineer, by the city.. The protest was drawn by William H. Trindle, city attorney, with Dr. O. O. Olson, Hal D. Patton and Chris Kowitz, representing the city public utilities committee. The pe tition sets forth that the city may desire to utilize at least a portion of water available for a municipal power and light development, fol lowing in with the purchase of the water plant authorized at the pri mary election !ast month. The application of the power com pany contemplates the storage of 38.300' acre feet of water In Marion lake and the construction of two canals, one from the take four miles long and developing 26.600 h. p. and the other, eight miles long, extend ing from the lake, Santiam river and Water creek, developing 42.900 h. p. In addition a dam 75 feet high would be necessary at the lake. The original application was protested by Salem, Albany, other municipalities in the valley and sportsmen. Though Luper has the decision as to the application of the power company, the federal power com mission also has Jurisdiction insofar as use of government land is con cerned. FIVE THROWN FROM CLIFF BY LUNATIC (Continued from page 1) rain, 7; Raymond, 5; and Donald, 3. Raymond was alive when he was picked up near the base of the cliff but he died at St. Raphael's hospital within an hour of the tragedy. The others died Instantly and their bodies were recovered from various positions on the rocky slopes. Scores of persons saw Spang throw the bodies, as the cliff was in full view of the streets of suburban Westvillc. While the excited observers ran toward the park, they saw Spang start down the perilous face toward the body of his wife, which had caught on a crag. William Hague fired four shots from a shotgun in an attempt to frighten the killer away in hope Mrs. Spang might be alive. One shot whistled iast a policeman who had started for Spang. Spang was unable to reach his wife's body, which he apparently Intended to toss further down, and paused on a narrow kdge about 250 feet up the cltff. Police and firemen went to the top of the rock ami one fireman, William Barube, was lowered on a rope toward Spank's ledge. Spang shouted to the fireman to halt or he would dash himself to death. Barube paused 10 feet away while Spank moved about on the ledge nervously, muttering to him self. He told the fireman in response to questions that he was Raymond Spang of Ansonia and had been un employed. The scene remained thus for about 15 minutes, with Spang cow ering on the ledge, the fireman afraid to scare him Into suicide and hundreds of persons, mouths agape, standing In the streets far below. Then Spank carefully took off one shoe and attempted to take off the other, but it stuck. He crossed him self and before Barube could inter vene, dived.

Department of agri culture says: "Adu'iticaal motor truck receipt of several hundred boxes of apples from Yakima storages are expected Saturday, to repteni&h jobbers stocks. Demand for apples during the last few weeks has surpassed all expectations of the Jobbing trade at Portland. Receipts of new-crop apples, mostly Yellow Transparents. from Kennewlck, Wash., are in creasing daily. "Strawberry receipts are light again Saturday. Quality is mostly ordinary, and" prices advanced an other 25 cents per crate, to about $2.75 for best berries. Hood River loaded probably their last carload of the season, last Wednesday. Al though the Hood River crop was light this year, prices were excel lent, carlot sales ranging from $3.25 per crate upward. 'Cherry shipments from Yakima and Umatilla county Oregon have netted disappointingly low returns in the east. This is due to mc small size characterizing this years cherries from those districts.

EXPANSION OF WHEAT LANDS GROWSYEARLY Oklahoma City, (LP) Virgin prai ries in the Panhandle sections of Texas and Oklahoma promises to soon become the "bread basket" of the nation. With farming rapidly replacing ranching as a paying business, thousands of acres of land over which buffaloes and longhorns once roamed in countlesss thousands are being broken each year by the plow. Estimated: wheat yield in west ern Oklahoma this year is 40.000.- 000 bushels, while that of the Texas Panhandle Is between. Growers face a problem in getting the grain to the market each year, but tuts tm son railroad officials have announc ed that 200,000 cars are now avail able for transportation of the grain. Landowners have found that whea farming is more prifttabie than raising cattle, and are anxi ously watching the fuccsss or fail ure of the Federal Farm Board's efforts in ftabUzing the nric; of the grain. Should the price of wheat ever be dtab!izd to any murkeif de gree, virtually every aco.ou of land in the sparsely settled territory would be planted in grain. State Grain Im-psctor E. H. Linzee be lieves. If such an agricultural program is carried out. and it appears highiy probable. Linzee says the small wheat farmer may just as well quit raising grain and devote his land and labor to some other phase of farming. Linzee ba5cd his contention on the fact that the western states have Increased wheat acreage to a remarkable extent since the ad vent of the tractor and combine, while there has been no decrease in the older states and little, If any, increase in consumption. The matter of supply and de mand always has caused prices to regulate themselves eventually, but it would seem that to stimulate the price in a manner that will helu the small farmer will only cause an increased supply from the cheap lands of the west, ' Linzee said. Linzee pointed out that there are two classes of wheat farmers In the western states, the one who plants from 50 to 100 acres on land valued at from $150 to $209 an acre, and another who Is plowing for the iirst time thousands of acres ox ranch land valued at from $20 to $30 an acre. The latter can use tractors and combines and raise from 1.000 to 5,000 acres of . wheat each year wnirn makes the cost of produc tion low.
