EGG DEMAND IS
FIRM, CHEESE
PRICES HIGHER
Portland LP There is a good de
mand this week for strictly first
class frosh teas. Fresh extras, al
though more plentiful than they
were some days ago, still are scarce
enough to hold the market lirm,
Instead of Improving from the
consumers' standpoint, It is consld
ered Quite likely that the next
change In the market will be on the
up side.
Poultry prices are Improving
somewhat. Light Leghorn broilers
under a pound and three-quarters
are quoted up to 21 cents. Heavier
offerings are around 16-17c.
Butter prices were unchanged at
the Monday session of the exchange.
Watermelon prices were reduced
to IVi to 1 cents a pound to the
trade here Tuesday. This is the lowest
point reached by watermelons this
season. The cool weather, as in the
lemon market, has had much to do
With the decline.
First shipment of Conlshan grapes
to arrive this season was received
by the Pacific Fruit and Produce
Co. here Tuesday. The shipment was
from California and will go to the
trade at $1.75 a lug, it was stated.
Tillamook county Creamery as
sociation advanced the price of
cheese one cent a pound effective
Tuesday, This makes Tillamook
cheese triplets 21c and loaf 22c. The
advance was made because of In
creased production costs. The asso
ciation reports a very active demand
lor cheese at this time.
Lemon prices were reduced 50c
again Tuesday. The first reduction
came Monday, also of 50c. The cooler
weather and increased offerings are
considered responsible for the weak
ness. Green corn was slightly higher In
wholesale trade here Tuesday as a
temporary shortage of first class of
ferings was felt. The market moved
up to $1.50 a six dozen sack to the
trade.
CORN FEATURES
GRAIN TRADING,
WHEAT LOWER
Chicago (IW A late rally In corn
to around the previous closing fig
ures brought a corresponding rise
In wheat on the board of trade
but the market again failed to hold
and prices eased to close sharply
lower. At one time December corn
advanced to a premium over the
same delivery of wheat, the first
time this year. The uncertainty of
the hedging action of the pool was
a disquieting factor during the ses
sion. The weakness in wheat check
ed the corn advance. Oats were
lower with wheat.
At the close wheat was l?i to
1 cents lower, corn was to 1
cent lower and oats were 'j to 1
cent lower. Provisions were firm.
Chicago Lower prices both
for wheat and corn were formed
the rule early Tuesday, Influenced
by downturns of wheat quotations
at Liverpool and good harvest op
erations In Europe, buyers abroad
were reported as holding off. Op
ening k-c down. Chicago wheat
future deliveries underwent addi
tional declines later. Corn started
unchanged to 5-8c off, and subse
quently sagged all around.

Boston (VP) The Boston wool
market report Issued Tuesday by lo

riculture follows:
"The quietness of the wool market
appears to be due lamely to seasonal
factors, such as vacations In the mills,
shutdowns for overhauling machinery
and the waltliiK period likely to oc
cur just previous to the opening of

SALMON PACK
SHOWS A GAIN
OVER YEAR AGO
Astoria, Ore. OP) The pack of
canned salmon put up by Columbia
river canneries during the spring
fishing season which closed Monday
noon, totalled 377,000 full cases of
48 pound cans each, an Increase of
55,000 cases over the 1029 spring sea
son pack, an estimate compiled by
the Astoria Evening Budget Indi
cates.
In addition, 1039 tiers of mild
cured salmon and 6725 boxes of froz
en steelheads were packed on the
Columbia. Mild curing operations
were 500 tierces under trie 1929
mark, due to a weak market for this
type of fish In Europe, where all
mild cured fish Is sold.
Fishermen received approximately
$3,100,000 for their season's work,
while the wholesale value of the pack
is around $6,000,000, the estimate
Indicates,
The season was characterized by
an unusually large run of fish. The
pack during the preceding three
months of the season was behind
normal, but the August run was
large enough to make up for the de
ficiency.
The prevailing price to fishermen
during the months of May, June and
July was 17 cents a pound. As the
quality of ftsh fell off during Au
gust, the price fell to 15 cents, then
to 10 cents and finally to 8 cents a
pound during the closing days of
the season.
BABSON PUTS OUT
OPTIMISTIC ADVICE
Wellesley Hills, Mass. (IP) The
Babson statistical organization

market prediction since its fore
telling of the 1929 market crash.
The organization Tuesday ad
vised its clients "to use a small
percentage of their liquid funds to
buy selected stocks.'
"This Is the first broad list of this
kind which Babson's has recom
mended since 1924 and is the first
modification of the bearish posi
tion taken before the big break of
1929(,, the statement said.

RECORD PACK
EXPECTED OF
BLACKBERRIES
Indications are that the largest
canned pack of blackberries put up
for years will be turned out at the
canneries this year. All of the cul
tivated crop Is going through the
canneries and quite a quantity ol
wild ones of sufficiently good qual
ity are being canned. While around
275,000 eases of blackberries were
put up last year In the state and
no definite figure can be given yet
on this year yet some estimates
make a possible double sized pack
of blackberries for this year. It
is not known what per cent of last
year's pack was made In the Salem
canneries so It may be the state
pack win not be quite tnat large
but the &alem canneries will prob
ably run out a double pack over
last year.
Pear packing Is going on in very
heavy shape also here. Two of the
biggest canneries are not running
on Rogue River pears but are buy
ing elsewhere, notably in Yakima,
Grants Pass and the Umpqua. Other
Salem canneries have bought Med
ford pears in quite considerable
quantity but a difference on price
stui existing between two large
canneries here and growers there
has resulted In a deadlock on their
Medford buying although they have
had buyers on the job pretty con
sistently.
The pear pack this year, regard
less, will be very large despite the
fact there Is still quite a big carry
over of the dearly bought pears of
last year.
It is Indicated by the packs be
ing made in many lines that there
is a feeling of some commence
among canners that conditions gen
erally over the country are getting
about ready to right themselves
and the start on the upgrade back
to normal conditions Is In the offing.

Vandevort's Changes
In Proposed Milk
La w Disapproved
In the absence of Alderman Henry Vandevoi-t his or
dinance for the repeal of the present milk reeluatory ordin
ance had no friends at a hearing before the ordinance com.
mlttee of the city council Monday
night. While the committee did
not decide what report It Is going
to make on the Vandevort bill there
were strong Indications that the re
port will be against the repeal.
Fred A. Williams, ex-city at
torney, appeared at the meeting as
the first speaker and asked some
very pertinent questions that quick
ly brought the meeting aown to
cases on the main Issues of the sit
uation, the cost of milk to the con
sumer and the ability of the small
producer to stay In business under
present regulations. What Williams
wanted to know specifically was
why the price of milk to the con
sumer Increased very soon after the
enactment of the present ordin
ance. Williams recalled that as city at
torney he had worked with Drs.
Brown and DeKlelne, former heads
of the Marion county health unit,
In getting a milk regulatory ordin
ance on the city statute books. In
1827 and 1929, Williams said, fed
eral health bureau men had com-
plplmented Salem for having the
best milk ordinance on the Pacific
coast.
"In the light of that." said Wil
liams, "I don't understand why the
present heads of the health unit
had to put through a new ordin
ance and the milk dealers immedi
ately thereafter raise the price of
milk from 10 to 25 per cent With
the health people preaching 'more
milk' to the school children all the
time It doesn't look right If this
additional money that the consum
ers are paying for milk Is going to
the producer then I have nothing to
say. But If It Is going to the dis
tributor then I am against It.'
Williams said he didn't see why
the price of milk should be In
creased when feed, cows and labor
are cheaper.
Producers who were present were
of the opinion that the price In-
crease was due to the recent organ
ization of the producers and to the
necessity of the local distributors
meeting prices to the producers that
are being offered by Portland dls
tributors who have been Invading
the Salem territory. A. D. Hurley
and Hans Hofstetter, distributors,
declared that the present ordinance
had nothing to do with the price
Increase.
J, E. Blinkhom, milk Inspector
for the health unit, said that Port
land, Eugene and Corvallis have
aliout the same milk prices as Sa
lem. Medford, he believed, had 10
cent milk, and Dr. V. A. Douglas,
county health officer, said that
Grade A milk can also be bought
in Salem for that price.
Blinkhom said the present or
dinance has proved of advantage
to the producers, since some who
were shut out completely under the
former ordinance had come back
into the trade under the present
one.
It was brought out that the Van.
devort ordinance would remove
about 20 of the 24 sanitary require
ments of the present ordinance.
Blinkhom said that among others
it would remove the requirement
that dairy employes be free from
disease. Disease carriers in Port
land dairies, he said, caused epi
demics of septic sore throat and
typhoid fever In that city.
The Inspector said that about 81
out of 130 producers in the Salem
district have complied with the ex
isting ordinance, or about 72 per
cent or the milk coming Into Salem.
When all the testimony had been
offered Attorney Williams seemed
to oe more reconciled to the exist
ing ordinance. If nearly 75 per
cent of the producers had equipped
tnemseives to comply with the reg
ulations Williams conceded that It
would hardly be fair now to remove
the regulations.
Alderman Purvine spoke in de
fense of the health unit, declaring
It was not "In cahoots" with the
distributors and that it's sole pur
pose in regulation was pure, clean
milk.
Alderman Hughes declared him
self in favor of the present ordin
ance "in view of the fact that it
has not yet been tried out thor
oughly. In view of the fact that
there has been no opposition to it
at this meeting, and in Justice to
the council that enacted It."
The members of the ordinance
committee that held the hearing
are Aldermen Kowltz, O'Hara and
Johnson.

VAN TRUMP TO
INSPECT BULBS
FOR GROWERS
After a second conference Tues
day morning between members of
the county court and Col. W. B.
Alrd, member of the state board of
horticulture, relative to Inspection
of Marion county grown narcissus
bulbs, decision- was reached that
County Inspector Van Trump will
be Instructed to take charge of the
work and also to keep control over
the cooking plant being established
at the L. J. Chapln farm In Kelzer
Bottom.
Col. Alrd stated that J. H. Stans
berry. head state Inspector, will be
sent here next Tuesday when the
bulb cooking starts and will 6pend
a day or two with Van Trump lining
him up on his duties in connection
with the work at the plant. A fuin
lgation plant which is being estab
lished on the Butterfleld place near
Woodburn will also be put In opera
tion, but Col. Alrd stated that he
will send the Clackamas county In
spector to that point to get the work
under way.
Col. Alrd has completed making
a survey of the narcissus situation
in Marlon county and finds 28
growers here with an approximate
crop of a minion and a nan ouios.
At a conservative wholesale price es
timate this crop has a present sell
ing value of around $135,000 in ad
dition to planting stock for future
plantings and he declares tne in
dustry in this county is just In its
Infancy. This does not include glad
iolus and other bulbs raised on a
considerable scale in the county.
Col. Alrd pointed out that the fed
eral government has Issued certain
regulations in regard to the handl
ing of narcissus bulbs which must
be carried out or the crop is un
marketable and cannot be shipped
or even replanted unless under full
compliance with these regulations
and the state board must see that
the federal regulations are obeyed
if the narcissus industry is to sur
vive In Oregon. CoL Alrd stated that
the narcissus crop gave promise of
being one of the major horticultural
industries in the state in time.

PLAN TO STUDY
SDN'S ECLIPSE
IN SOUTH SEAS
Nluafou Island, Tonga ArchlpelU
go, UP) Preparations were made.
Tuesday by members of the United
States naval observatory expedi
tion here to study the total eclipse
of the sun October 21.
The party arrived here last Tues
day from Tutila, American Samoa,
on board the U. s. S. Tanager and
the U. S. S. Ontario. The landing
was made with much difficulty at
the village of Anaha, the only avai
able spot on the Island to dlstm
bark.
Oa'ing to the precamns and re
stricted landing conditions all
stores and equipment had to be
landed on a lava spit at the foot
of a 100 foot cliff In a small native
boat.
Two days during which good
weather prevailed were required to
land six tons of material and 1Z,
000 feet of lumber needed In set
ting up the scientific apparatus
which will be used by tne expedi
tion in Its observations.
The natives greeted the members
of the party In a friendly manner,
premier of Tonga had instructed
them to use their utmost endeav
ors to make the stay pleasant and
the object of the expedition suc
cessful. Two white traders and the
priest are the only white men ca .

destroyed, no lives, however, being
lost.
FARMERS PLAN
TO PLANT LESS
WINTER WHEAT
Washington CP) The agriculture
department announced Tuesday
farmers throughout the country had
expressed the Intention of planting
4.5 per cent less ol winter wheat
than last fall.
The announcement was made on
the basis of data received during
August.
An Intended Increase of 13 per
cent in fall seedings of winter rye
for grain over seedings in the fall
of 1929 was reported to the depart
ment by crop correspondents. The
indicated acreage of winter wheat,
amounting to 41.392,200 acres, is the
lowest since 1923.
This is the third consecutive
year of decrease of intended seed
ings since the peak year 1927 when
farmers reported in August an in
tention to seed over 49,000,000 acres
of winter wheat," the department's

tions and other causes prevented
seeding of the full acreage In
tended.' The indicated acreage for winter
rye was given as 3,882,000 acres
compared with a seven-year avtr
age intention of 4,411,000 acres.
The intended seedings are one or
two per .cent less than wa3 planted

which have about 75 per cent of
the total acreage bsing 44 per cent
less in orth Dakota but heavy in
creases tre shown In many south
