HUGE DECREASE
IN EGG STORAGE
NOTED BY TRADE
Portland, June 14 (IP) The great
decrease In storage holdings ol eggs
throughout the country, together
with the abnormally slow and de
pressed trade, creates an abnormal
situation throughout the Industry.
Latest storage holding report Issued
by the department ol agriculture re.
fleets a decrease of 4.093,000 rases In
supplies as compared with June 1 a
year ago. A month ago the shortage
was 2,180,000 cases compared with
May 1 a year ago. This month's fig
urea reflect a decrease of S.8O1.0O0
cases as compared with the average
for five years.
Despite this serious loss In the
current holding of eggs In store,
there remains a lack of snap In the
market. Locally conditions are far
from being good. Hot weather offer,
lngs are congesting the trade. Poor
quality Is the rule and this sort of
stuff Is hard to move. The poor
stock must be sold upon the home
markes Inasmuch as It Is Impossible
to ship long distance.
.Trr.dlng trend in the market for
butter was fully steady for the day.
Butterfat values well maintained.
Very slow trading tone is suggest
ed In the chicken market here, even
though receipts are not heavy.
Market for fresh salmon Is show
ing extreme weakness. Practically
all known points are contributing to
fresh crab offerings on the Portland
market.
Slight delay In growth of onions
In the Willamette valley and at
Walla Walla, Is suggested by W. I.
Bwank, authority. He says, however,
that marketing time may be as early
as usual with the arrival of hot
weather. Acreage la little changed
from a year ago.
Owing to the rather liberal sup
plies, the lateness of the season, as
veil as the low price of competing
vegetables, asparagus Is Inclined to
halt somewhat in Its consumptive
movement.
Quality and price of strawberries
has been affected by the extreme
hot weather, which has not only
forced growth, but has caused much
of the fruit to arrive In condition
unfit for shipping.
FINE BERRY PLANTS
YIELD NO BERRIES
Joe Zimmerman and A. Moore
who have a patch of strawberries,
or rather strawberry plants, up on
the Ablqua, have sent out an S.
O. S. call to County Fruit Inspector
Van Trump asking him to come
up and inspect their planting
they state a very peculiar , condi
tion exists there.
They say that the plants have
taken on a fine growth, look sturdy
and well and apparently are healthy
In every regard but they are produc
ing no berries.
The men are stumped as to what
Js the matter, whether It is the soil
In which the plants are planted,
weather conditions, during the past
year or whether there is some other
cause behind the lack of berries.
Van Trump stated he would look
over the planting as soon as he
makes another trip into that sec
tion.

WINTER BLIGHT
REDUCES YIELD
OF ETTERBERGS
Whole fields of Etterberg straw
berries In the North Howell dis
trict are showing 111 effect from
last winter's weather vagaries, re
ports. County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump, where the berry planta are
said to be dying from root rot and
there are some patches so badly hit
by It they will not be picked at all.
He states he believes that the ber
ries In that section have been cut
fully 60 per cent by the trouble
which Is now making itself shown
in full force with plants dying.
He believes the cause was partly
due to too wet a season and partly
attributable to a series of snarp
frosts which started as early as
November last fall and kept up In
termittently into "January. The
crowns, he says, were badly affected
in numerous cases and now the
root rot is causing many plants to
die. In many cases where the root
rot Is not working damage to the
crown is apparent, he says, and the
plants look small and Ill-developed.
There are exceptions to tnis in a
number of fields in the district and
he states there are some very fine
looking patches.
Charles Hartman, who was In
from his farm home on the Scotts
Mills road reported that he- has
been unable to find an offer for his
Etterbergs better than a cent and
a half and this would only be trad
ing dimes, he stated, to pick the
berries. He has some at his home
place and also has some planted
up higher on the Ablqua. He says
the berries look good but he hasn't
any Idea what he will do with them.
CANNERS BUSY
WITH CHERRIES
Canners In Santa Clara valley
(California) are now active on the
cherry pack there, both In canning
and for Maraschino use, says the
California Fruit News. Packing op
erations on cherries will run for
only about two weeks. The crop Is
small In California this year and
there Is no present need for a large
pack of cherries, In the present con
dition of canned fruit demand. The
California Packing Corporation,
Pratt-Low Preserving company,
Richmond-Chase company, Barron
Orav packing company. Hunt Bro
thers Packing company, BiscegUa
Brothers Canning company and the
United States Products Corporation
are among the Important operators
In this line In the Santa Clara val
ley, and are starting up work this
week.
About the same volume of pack
of cherries in the Santa Clara val
ley Is forecast as that of last year.
The quality of the fruit there Is
said to be as good as the best ever
produced. The Diana Preserving
company In Santa Clara Is packing
cherries for Maraschino use. This
product Is now being put up in bar
rels and later In the season will be
packed in tins and glass for retail
trade.
HEAVY PRODUCTION
OF HONEY FORECAST
Corvallis, Ore., June 14 WP Heavy
production of honey this spring
was reported today In the weekly
market review of honey and nut
prospects released by the O. S. C.
extension service cooperating with
the U. S. D. A. bureau of agricul
tural economics.
Early sales of honey reported
ranged from 6 cents a pound for
large lots to 8' cents for small
lots of certain grades.
East of the Cascades orchardists
have rented fewer bees this spring
than usual for pollination purposes
and fruit set In some sections is
much below normal as a result.
The review said the California
walnut crop will approximate 29.000
tons, of which about 25.000 tons
arc expected to be of merchantable
quality. While the total crop Is
not expected to equal last year's,
the output of good quality nuts will
be greater.

SHOWS FIRM
TRADING TONE
New York. June 14 (LP) Quiet
strength was displayed on today's
session of the New YorW stock mar
ket. Some Drofit taking near the
close reduced early gains which had
ranged above two points, but tne
undertone was firm.
There were further Indications
congress would soon clean its slate
and adjourn, a move that would be
considered highly favorable to the
market in that it would remove all
uncertainty Involved In this con
gress. The sugar market rose In heavy
turnover. Firmer prices In raw
sugar were immediately reflected In
an advance in tne refined product
by several companies.
A distinctly favorable factor was
further strength In the American
dollar. Yesterday's figures showed
a gain of $88,500 In our monetary
gold supply.
Late In the day Western Union
omitted Its dividend. Earlier, sim
ilar action was taken on New Haven
preferred and Adams Express pre
ferred. Standard Gas reduced its
annual payment from $3.50 to $2.
Auburn rose to 71 '4 in the early
trading, fell back to 64K and then
rallied slightly. It closed last night
at 68X. Shorts who borrowed the
stock today were forced to pay a
premium of 75 cents a share, or a.i
annual rate of more than 350 per
cent.
Steel common swung ahead,
touching 27'i, up 14 points. It later
lost half the gain. Other Industrial
leaders were fractions to more than
a point higher.
Standard Gas issues spurted ahead
following the dividend cut on com
mon. Utilities generally were firm.
Railroad shares held small gains.

TIME TO SPRAY
FOR CHERRY FLY
Get busy and spray for the cherry
fly now, Is the warning Issued by
County Fruit Inspector Van Trump.
While so far there have been no
reports cf appearance of the fly
the county inspector states that if
any files are going to appear this
year the present brand of weather
will bring them out and he states
It doesn't seem very probable that
the valley will escape the fly al
together even though none of them
are expected so far.
He also repeats the warning to
be careful about too much arsen
ate of lead as government inspectors
watch for the poison In the packed
fruit and the spraying should be
such as to exceed the tolerance al
lowed by the government.
Statue Proves To Be
Lost Art Treasure
Mllawaukee, Wis. IIP) A statue
which has ornamented an altar at
Gesu church here since 1894 has
been discovered to be a rare work
of sculpture, long believed lost.
Workmen remodeling the altar
found the signature of Giovanni
Dupre, noted I nth century Italian
sculptor, near the base of the statue.
Dupre was known to have made
three such statues.
The statue shows the body of the
crucified Christ, recumbent, leaning
against the knee of His mother. It
was purchased by the late Mrs. Wil
liam E. Cramer, former publisher ol
the Evening Wisconsin, at the Paris
exposition of 1867 and presented to
St. Gall's church that year. It was
transferred to Gesu church In 1894.

ON PARADE IN WASHINGTON
WHEAT DOWN
TO LOW PRICE
FOR NEW CROP
Chicago. June 14 UP) In general
selling, wheat today for the first
time this season fell below 49 cents
a bushel for July contracts, repre
senting the new 1932 domestic
crop.
July wheat In Liverpool smashed
down to but little above what
could be obtained here, and this
development coming ahead of deal
ings here had much to do with
overturning values in United States
anad Canadian markets. Export
demond for wheat from North
America shriveled to almost tero.
Wheat closed nervous, under
yesterday's finish, corn at de
cllne to a shade advance, oats un
changed to U-H off. and provi
sions carying from 5 cents setback
to an equal gain. Sharp breaks In
wheat values here took place early
today following sudden downturns
in European quotations and re
ports of heavy selling at Liverpool.
With stop loss orders dislodged, all
deliveries of wheat and rye in Chi
cago outdid the season's bottom
price record. Opening H-l! lower.
Chicago wheat future.; continued to
drop. Corn started off and
later held near the initial limits.
Portland. June 14 ur The bear
element was in full control of the
price fixing machlnercy for cash
wheat today. Current option, July,
was unchanged for the day but
cash wheat was cut another half
cent a bushel. September option was

changed. There was no trading be
cause none were willing to offer
at the forced price reductions. Oats

the ones traders sell at.
CHARGE SCHOOL
INTERESTS DECEPTIVE
(Continued from page 1)
sponsoring nor supporting the meas
ure which proposes to move tne in
stitutions of learning."
Pointing to the fact mat tne
name of the organization sponsor
ing the Initiative bill Is identical to
that of the organization he heads,
with the exception of the added
words, "Marion county," Burdette
told tlie court that "it Is reasonable
to Infer that the name used by the
organization which has initiated
the measure to move the university
to Corvallis and the normal schools
to Eugene was conceived for the
purpose of misleading the voters
into believing that the organization
is other than It really Is. and it be
comes highly important that the
ballot title be so framed as not to
permit voters to be mislead."
That the distinction between the
Taxpayers Equalization League of
the state of Oregon and the organ
ization sponsoring the initiative bill
should be more clearly set forth in
the ballot title, which will appear on
the initiative petitions. In the offi
cial Voters' pamphlet and on the
ballots at the November election, In
the further Interests of fairness, was
also argued by Burdette. He set
forth that the organization he heads
is now sponsoring three initiative
proposals to "carry out the economic
program of the governor," which he
enumerated as the Tax Debt and
Control Constitutional Amendment,
the Personal Income Tax Law
Amendment bill, and the Tax 8u
pervlsing and Conservation Bill;
that petitions to place these meas
ures on the November ballot are now
being circulated under the name of
his organization, and that to permit
the use of the similar name of the
Marion county organization on thr
bill to move the university would be
both misleading and confusing to
the voters.
"We think we are justified in
drawing the inference that the name
used by the organization which has
initiated the proposed measures tc
move the institutions of learning
was intentionally employed for the
purpose of misleading the voters
into believing that the measure for
moving the institutions of learning
is sponsored by the same people
who are initiating the three meas
ures designed to cary out the gover
nor's program for economy," said
Burdette, arguing that the bailot
title should be "so framed that ev
ery voter in the state who reads It
will know that the university will be
moved to Corvallis. the normal
schools to Eugene, the law school to
Salem and two junior colleges not
now existing will be established."
The attack of Custer E. Boss, ap
pearing for the appellant, Clarence
TUESDAY. JUNE 14, 1932
W. Keens of Silverton, centered
about the contentions that th
-nrdinir of both the proposed oiu
and the ballot title are unfair, de-
cplive and that the oamn uo
falls to state the true purpose of
the measure. In place of the title
prepared by the attorney general,
'Bill Moving Consolidating and
Changing State Institutions ol
Higher Learning," the appellant
proposed one reading. "Bill Moving
University and Normal Schools and
Establishing Additional Colleges."
There Is no consolidation provided
for In the initiative bill which does
not already exist under the pro
visions of the legislative act cre
ating the state board of higher edu
cation. Ross argued. He pointed -out
that the actual consolidation
of the various institutions under
a single administration Is now in
the process of consumation under
the state board of higher education;
that physical consolidation is pos
sible only In theory, inasmuch al
the construction of additional build
ings at Corvallis would be required
vere the university moved there;
that two entirely new units would
be added to the system of nigncr
education, the Junior colleges, and
that there would remain the same
number of individual Institutions
on the same number of campuses
to maintain.
Ro6 also charged that the group
ing of the normal schools on the
Eugene campus would leave a large
amount of classroom and other fa
cilities unused, and that under the
terms of the proposed bill this sur
plus of scape could not be used for
overflow from the Corvallis insti
tution or for anything else.
Under the proposed measure, Ross
argued, the state board of higher
education would be continued as at
present, and that the argument of
the sponsors of the bill that it would
abolish the office of the secretory
of the state board is false. The
bill, Ross stated, does provide that
the Salem office of the board shall
be moved to Corvallis, but continues
the office by providing that presi
dent of the institution created there .
shall be ex-officio the secretary of
the state board of higher education.
The extended ballot title as pre
pared by the attorney general set
forth that one of the purposes of
the bill was to abolish the office
of the secretary of the board.
"This Is a moving bill and noth
ing else." declared Ross. "It effects
no consolidation that does not now
exist. These schools already have
actual consolidation and unified
control."
Defending the ballot title as pre
pared A. B. Ridgway, appearing for
the officers of the sponsoring or
ganization, said that both the title
prepared by the attorney general
and the suggested substitute title
prepared by the attorney general
are fair statements oi the purposes
of the measure, and that no two
men, however teamed, could without
consultation and agreement frame
a title worded identically. He fur
ther argued that the ballot title
need not be a complete summary
of all that is contained in an ini
tiative proposal.
"No one could consolidate the
complete text of 10 sections of this
bill into 10 words." said Ridgeway.
Ridgcway argued that actual con
solidation would be accomplished
by the proposed measures; that the
Individual institutions would lose
their identity and become one.
whereas they retain their integrity
under the present administration by
the state board of higher eduiation.
He declared that the office of sec
retary of the board would be abol
ished and the duties of the office
performed by the president of the
combined Institutions acting in an
ex-officio capacity.
How could he perform the duties
of an office that did not exist?
Justice Percy R. Kelly Interposed.
Ridgway explained that only tne
duties of the office would be con
tinued. He asked that in view of the
fact that he had only just this
morning received for scrutiny a
copy of the brief of the appellants
that he be given additional time In
which to study It and file any reply
he might wish to make. The court
gave Ridgway until S o'clock this
afternoon to make his reply, and
gave Ross until Wednesday morn
ing to file his reply to Ridgway
typed brief.
The court stressed the need for
haste in completing the arguments,
because If the ballot title is chang
ed it will be necersary for the spon
sors for the measure to prepare and
complete circulation of new peti
tions before July 6.
In response to this warning by the
court Ridgway stated that such
haste was not Imperative, and that
more than the 18,000 signatures re
quired were secured during the first
week of circulation of the petitions
and that there are now 20,000 names
on the petitions and the sponsors
expect to have 40.000 before the time
for filing expires.
