Newspaper Page TextCM'.V TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1931 BUTTER STRONG EGGS WEAKER POULTRY FIRM Portland (tf General straighten tug of the butter trade is relict-ted in not only the Pacilic slope states, but in the country as a whole. Port land market is stronger. On the op en market conditions arc very strong, in fact the stramble for sup plies sugeesta that an advance in the price here is somewhat overdue. Generally weak unoerlone ana trade continues reflected in the mar ket for eggs here with prices shad ing more or less among the out aiders. Heceipts arc burdensome al though storage operations arc gain Inc. For the week-end there was pr.K'- tlcally no changes in the price of live Don try. Chickens snowed a gooa ac mand for all torts while turkeys lully held their own lor heavy weights. Country killed lamb market re flects liberal strength here with late price advances well maintained. Hogs are a trifle dull but unchanged In price. Veal is holding up fairly well. Intense weakness is showing in the market for potatoes. Entire lack of speculative interest at primary points keeps the voiume of bu-sine. down. Many rollers congest tne. Dig consuming markets. Limited offerings of hothouse to matoes continue lo arrive. Practical ly all the supply Is from the Forest Grove section. Demand Is far great er than supply. While there remains little action, the market, for wool has an increas ing interest. Sales at big eastern markets are disappointing but there Is a slight increase in advances on the coming clip. ALFALFA GETS CLOSE STUDY Independence A number of alf alfa growers and other farmers gathered t the ranches of Ernest Zlelescli and Ed Velth, In the Par ker district, the first of the week for a demonstration on the silage and feeding of alfalfa. These fann ers have been experimenting Willi alfalfa for a number of years and have arrived at the conclusion that It is feasible both as silage and feed, for all kinds of stock. It was fed 111 the presence of the group of men to cattle, sheep, horses and chickens and all seemed to relish the food. The farmers who have opened their silos and started feeding find that the further down in the silo they go Ihe belter It has been pre served. The difficulty heretofore has been In curing the crop and they recommend leaving the hay la y in the swath to wilt for 48 hours after cutting. Then put It Into the till without water. Among the interested spectators were Prank Lowrv, J. R. Heck, coun ty agent, and other authorities on alfalfa.

Closing prices were gener ally the best throughout the list and such week end profit-taking as appeared during the busy two hours caused only momentary pauses In the upward movement. HOUSE PASSES NEW ROAD LAW (Continued from page 1) grratlv exceeded this, it carried by ft wide majority. The object of the measure. Representative Bnon explained, Is to supervise the opera tions of the pa wi .broking business and to seirreKate this type of busi ness from that conducted by small loans people. Loan sharks have, he said, gone way beyond the bounds of reason In their action In the past and It is to correct these evils the bill was desired by the state superintendent of banks. Wildcat or "gyp" auto clubs will have hard sledding in the future if the senate follows the action tak en by the house. The measure regu lating automobile clubs waa re quested by the insurance commis sioner. It provides that before a license is Issued showing must be made that the assets exceed liabil ities by $2.s.0(r0. a public heaving will be held and a bond of $2:UO0 posted. It does not exempt the A. A. A. which led to a previous law being declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court. Tle hotise aU-o passed H. B. No. 22, pertaining to professional en gineering and similar matters. Noon adjournment interrupted lebatr upon H. B. 290, providing for the pre-qnnlif lent ions of bidders on public work and defining terms. A similar bill approved by the last legislature, was vetoed by the late Governor Patterson on the ground tthnt It provided no adequate) me thod of appeal by disqualified bid ders. The new bill, Representative Hamilton declares, remedies this defect, requiring the qualifications be et forth only In event the work is In excess of ilfUXK) and provides that ouiUifU-Httons for the work regarding financial standing, equip ment, ability, etc., be set forth be fore a bid is submitted.

O. Lunn, head of the poultry de partment here. Increased volume of production is one of the greatest needs of lndl vidual commercial poultrymen at present, if costs are to be kept low, Lunn said. Larger flocks, making for more efficient handling and more frequent shipment, would mean higher quality eggs and eon sequent higher prices on eastern markets. Lower prices for eggs are likely to prevail until late 1931 wnen im provement may be expected due to reductions In farm flocks generally throughout the country and fewer chickens being raised this season, Lunn believes. Hatching operations are being sharply reduced this spring both In Oregon and In the nation, he said. While egg prices are low, feed, building materials and labor prices also are low and with efficient management, losses can be mini mized and even a small profit rea lized during the slumD Lunn claims. Actual cost accounts kept by a num ber of commercial Oregon poultry- men showed that small returns for labor are being made above cash costs. The complete outlook report for Oregon, which was Issued In two sections this year, oan be obtained from college officials or from coun ty agents. Also copies of comments made on the various divisions by specialists of the Oregon experiment station are obtainable, officials re minded. LOBBY LDG ROLLING TO SAVE PENSIONS (Continued from page 1) lobby Friday night and Saturday were the four police officers and two firemen from Portland wno nave been doing duty in Salem continu ously since the session opened. The results of their activity were being reflected directly upon the 16 sena tors who Friday expressed witn their votes the opinion that It is none of the state's business to pro vide for Portland's police and fire men. As the lines drew tighter Satur day several members of the senate began lnqulruig as to why certain of the bills In which they arc per sonally Interested arc being held up in the house, wnere the pension bill went over with a bang. It was no secret about the lobby that the police and firemen were seriously endeavoring to interest Governor Meier In the proposition of doing a little whip-cracking on their behalf. The task of converting two of the senators who voted against them to their cause, neces sary for success of a move to re consider, was not being made any easier for the lobby generals of the bill by the activity of the opposition senators themselves .In seeking to pry loose some of those who Friday stood with the police and firemen. Frldav night the pension seekers were reported to have collected two vote from the opposition ranks, but Saturday morning It was Indicated with equal authority that they had lost two other votes. Beneath the surface Saturday. speculation was also rife as to what was actually going on In relation to the governor's state police bill, which has been In the hands of the senate revision of laws commltlec since February 4. Friday Governor Meier conferred with members of the committee, all of whom are said to be opposed to the measure as It has been drafted, but no decision or agreement was readied.

Dennison's statement that "there has not been yet any true test, of the prohibition laws." 5 Reports of enforcement con ditions In 32 states. The material was submitted in response to a resolution offered by Senator Tydings, democrat, Mary land, in compliance with the ex pressed privilege stated In the res olution, Chairman Wickersham In formed the senate in a covering letter that much Information ob tained in confidence had been with held. This unrevealed material ap parently Included testimony of Sec retary of Treasury Mellon, assist ant Secretary Lowman, former Pro hibition Administrator Doran and Attorney General Mitchell. They were not represented among the 42 items sent the senate. Woodcock's "confession," which he conceded would be challenged, In no wise represented an opinion by him that the prohibition experiment must fail. He contended, rather, that prohibition cannot actually and completely prohibit consumption of alcoholic beverages. He suggested recognition of that fact in the fed eral enforcement policy by a sys tem of what he termed "home op tion." With specified qualifications, "home option" would permit manu facture and consumption of liquor by any householder without moles tation. Woodcock suggested that this might provide the final solu tion of prohibition. "It could be put into effect by a simple administrative policy to make no effort to overcome the difficulties that legally exist in get ting evidence as to violations in the home. "The householder could not claim the right to buy or sell liquors; but if he possesses liquor, or makes li quor in his home, and in such a way as not to be observed by the pub lic, this policy would require that he be not disturbed. "If he fails In a single public duty, breaks the peace in any way, fails to take care of his family, or falls to keep himself fit to perform any public duty, the state steps in and punishes. This plan makes unlawful an commerce in liquor, does not compel the dry to support a state dispens ary and leaves the wet in full en joyment of any rights he believes he has which may be exercised with out affecting anyone else." WOMEN HELD ON POISONING CHARGE (Continued from page 1 Erickson, he said, withdrew the money by means of a note of auth orization from Mrs. Carlson. The officer said also that a week before Lindstrom died the two wo men inquired at the bank as to how the money could be withdrawn in event of Lindstrom's death. Mrs. Carlson, according to Captain Bright, said tnat Lindstrom's last food consisted of pea soup and a piece of pie prepared by Mrs. Erick son. Mrs. Erickson became ill shortly after Captain Bright had questioned the two women at Lomita. Mrs. Carlson, after questioning by officers, admitted Mrs. Erickson had been at her home last Thursday. She had a cup of coffee," Mrs. Carlson said. "But I didn't put any thing in it. I couldn't have. She poured it herself." The investigation Into Lindstrom s death was started at the request of his son, Peter H. Lindstrom, wealthy Chicago resident. When the body was returned here, County Coroner rance reported that Lind strom's vital organs were "literally saturated' with arsenic. Captain iiright said that Lind strom and Mrs. Carlson had a Joint bank account in Lomita, Cal. A week before his death, Mrs. Carl son and Mrs. Erickson inquired at the bank how the money could be withdrawn in the event of Lind strom's death. It was said. On the day alter Lindstrom died, Mrs. Erickson allegedly drew the money by means of a note of authoriza tion from Mrs. Carlson.

Such was the prediction of L. R. Briethaupt. extension economist of Oregon stale agricultural eol.'ese. According to Bntthanpt, "It is fair ly certain business conditions will improve during- the '31-32 market year." - "Farm labor supply Is expected to continue in excess ef demanr.s dnrinc 1931 building material prices will remain unchanged lower fertilizer price; and lower feed costs it ill prevail.

I In three Pacific Northwest MitU.r, nearly five per cent more milch cows and over three per cent more liclfcis were on hand. Compared to the ctnerni level of all lann product combined, beef cattle prices will average relative: nood, Breithaupt said. Providing 'lie expected improvement in business conditions is fulfilled, beet demane-s should be better next year. "Tlie moderate increase in beef cattle be-uan in lf-28 and continued in 1930 may be expected to con tinue during tne next two years. Dairy cattle expansion reluiveiy g.-eater. may not last sj, long. Bfef and cattle impor;s, sn-.aii in 19:'0. r.ro expeeted to 1 even less in 193!." Mf.rket outlook for hops lrom 1931 pig crops is relatively favorabie, Breithaupt said. Only slight reduc tions in hog production is e-xpet'td to take place in 1931. Market out looks for 1931-32 appear more fav orable than during the next Itw mouths due to prospective demands. "Only if sheep breeding flocks aro reduced, as teeiij-s jikeiy to e-ccur, can any improvement in the indus try be expected." the survey said.
