Newspaper Page TextHE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1930 TURKEY TRADE OUTLOOK MUCH AS LAST YEAR'S CURATOR SAYS GOLDFISH ARE CHINA PRODUCT PARDON BOARD CALLED TO MEET HERE THURSDAY TELLS HOW NATURE CONTROLS SEX PAGE FOURTEEN Portland (IP) Conditions that are likely to arise in the marketing of turkeys for the coming holidays are more or less obscure at this time but tii general the ideas of traders indicate lit'le change as compared with a year ago. Several factors present them selves at this time. Crop condi tions show little material change from a year ago in general so far as latest surveys Indicate. Sections that are short of turkeys find that others have a greater supply than a year ago. Trade In the butter market con tinues to reflect a very sluggish and even weak tone here. This applies to both cubes and prints. However, butterfat values are steady to strong with a spread of prices con tinued. Somewhat steadier tone is re flected in the market for eggs here as a result of some betterment in the Atlantic coast situation. Prices Jjcre are mroe generally maintained. In spots the market for live ehickens Is reported easier by kill ers. Colored roosters are down to 90 rents In some quarters with col ored hens down to 21 cents pound. Very liberal run of silverside sal mon along the Tillamook coast has forced a considerable supply upon the local market. Sales reported down to 12 cents pound. Chinook are 18 cents. Halibut 22 cents for medium. There Is again a short age of Olympia oysters, reports Ore gon Fish Co. Fancy Salway peaches from east ern Oregon are selling up to $1.35 to $1.40 box, according to West Coast Fruit Co. Supplies of Orange Cling from thee aLso, fancy stock. Yakima Krummels offering $1.25 reports Pacific Fruit Co. j WHEAT LOWER AT CLOSE WITH TRADE NERVOUS Chicago IP Fluctuating rapidly In a very narrow range, wheat had a nervous and choppy session on the board of trade Wednesday. There was buying on all bears and selling on the bulges, several sharp rallies coming on attempts of shorts to cover but failing to hold. Most traders were keeping an eye on the stock market. Corn was generally steady though lower with wheat. Oats exhibited great firmness throughout. At the close wheat was ?i to 1 1 cents lower, corn was to N cent lower and oats were U to 'i cent lower. Provisionsw ere strong. Chicago fVT) Influenced by re ports of coplus rains in Australia and improved crc-p prospects in Argentina, grain prices here aver aged lower early Wednesday. How ever, Chicago offerings of wheat future deliveries larked volume, and the market showed rallying power, responsive to advices that large amounts of Canadian wheat re mained unLhre.shed and were dam aged badly. Opening unchanged to i off, wheat values here sagged all around, but in some cases recov ered afterward to above Tuesday's finish. Corn stnrted to i cent down, and subsequently swayed With wheat.

U Goldfish were un known in Europe before lt91. In that year they were Imported from St. Helena. Thy had come to the bland of St. Helena from Batavla. Chinese settlers who emigrated to Java had originally brought them from China. Dr. Berthold Laufer, curator of anthropology at Field Museum of Natural History, traced the history and development of the goldfish as a household pet In an article In the September l&sue of museum periodical. According to Dr. Laufer, Charles Darwin knew that goldfish had their origin In China and believed they had been kept in confinement there from an ancient period. The gold fish still occur In Chinese rivers in a wild state. Not only has It been brought by the Chinese Into a complete state of domestication, but also the numerous varieties and the many fantastic and grotesque monstro sities with proluding eyes or with three and four lubed tails are the products of Chinese Akill and in dustry. These varieties were pro duced by a studied and conscious method of interbreeding. As early as the 11th century the Chinese understood perfectly the principle of breeding to a point and the experiments to which Ihey have subjected the fish are prac tically indentical with those carried on by modern biologists. The plastic material of which ths gold fish is shaped can, within certain limits, be molded into almost any thing in the hands of a skilful breeder. The great variability in the color of the skin, as well as in the form of the head, fins and tail, is the result of many centuries of domestication. m In China the goldfish is kept in garden ponds or in large poltery or porcelain basins, but never In glass globes as in America. LITTLE NOTICE GIVEN PICKETS AT WASHINGTON Washington (LP) Picketing the White House was once an unfailing means for a person with a grievance to get himself arrested and thereby gain a bit of unpaid for publicity. Today, unhappily or otherwise, ac cording to one's point of view, the system no longer seems to work. Back in 1917 women suffragists could parade before the Executive Mansion and be certain that they would be rewarded for their pains. In fact, some 200 of them were ar rested, and of this number 98 were sentenced to serve terms of 15 to 30 days in the District of Columbia workhou.se. A few days ago two men, one ti Venezuelan and the other an Amer ican, put on what they described as a demonstration before the White House. According to t-he typewritten notices they distributed, they were anxious to have the United States government do something about the political prisoners in Venezuela, and to emphasize their argument one of them, the American, was photo graphed wearing leg irons such as are said to be used by the Venezuel an government in keeping political prisoners from straying too far away from the dungeons in which they are incarcerated. Captain Clarence Dalrymple of the White House police, taking no tice of the more or less bored crowd of about 20 persons who were watch ing the demonstration, wandered over to inquire as to the meaning of the gathering. The demonstrators looked up expectantly and one of the bystanders explained: "Oh, is that all?" Dalrymple ask ed, and wandered back to his office, the two demonstrators meanwhile withdrawing obviously crest-lallen and defeated. lambs mostly $8 50-$fl.75 to packers, few $9-$9.25 to city butchers; rang ers unsold.

FREE VACATION FOR CHILDREN Rome IIP) The initiative, started some yi-ar sago by the Fascist party of providing free or semi -gratuitous holidays for poor city children has grown to extensive proportions. This year the organization dealt with thousands of children all over Italy sending them for a fortnight's or even a month's holiday to summer camps at the seashore or in the mountains. The whole system is un der the direct control of the Fascist party, which collects funds for the purpose during the winter and spring months by means of exhibi tions of pictures, athlete shows, pri vate contributions and lotteries. The exhibition of paintings of Old Spanish masters held during the spring here at the gallery of mod ern art, brought in over 1,000.000 lire for the children's summer camp funds.

BRITISH WHEAT RICE PLAN TO. LIMIT MARKET Washington Contemporary economic history may never record a more important dntc than the departure of R. B. Bennett, prime minister of Canada, officials of the Canadian wheat pool and member;, of the Canadian grain commission. for the Imperial economic confer ence of the British empire. The Labor government is propos ing an import board to buy all wheat required by British consum ers and fix the price of it. The economic realignment of ag- rciulture, in which every nation may retire within its own bound aries to become sufficient unto it self, is a probability to consider in connection with the proposed board. In a broad way, the board would be financed and controlled by the government. It would buy direct from producer through their iwob and cooperative organizations and sell to English millers at cost. It would take all the element of gambling out of tiie British wheat trade and insure a grain market for the Canadian and Australian farm er. England imparts 80 p Trent of the wheat she consume';, the 80 percent now largely determining the price of the 20 percent grown at home. By buying oil two or threc-ycar contracts, the import board would be able to tell the British farmer what price he would get for his wheat before he sows it. The underlying purpose of the board would be to give the pro ducer more for his wheat without increasing consumer cost. The farm board says the British proposal is just another example of the narrowing world market for American wheat and another argu ment for the adjustment of Ameri can acreage to American demand.
