POULTRY TRADE
Portland. May 12 (LP) Continued
strength in the local poultry trade
Indicates the shortage of holdings
. on farms of the Pacific northwest
together with an increasing con
sumptive call as a result of com
paratively low prices.
Consumption of fowls has been
practically a third greater during
the season than normal, according
to a survey recently made. This ap
plies to wholesale and retail out
lets and includes all sorts of offer
ings. Demand remains best for hens
and for broilers that are not in the
pepper' class. The latter are in
mall call.
Demand for turkeys remains lib
eral for hens and at full late prices.
Quite plentiful supplies of butter
an: now arriving from out-state
points and even local churning Is
Increased. Trade as a whole is
therefore inclined to show further
degree of easiness.
Practically no changes of note
have been shown recently in the
market for eggs here or along the
coast generally. Local trade is con
sidered fairly steady.
Full strength is continued for
cheese in all parts of the country
although there has been a slight
gain in the seasonable output
Speculative demand is being
aroused.
Strawberries were down a trifle
or so In the local market for Cali
fornian. Best Sacramento 24s old
$1.85 2 crate generally with Fresno
20s $1.65 crate. Quality generally
favorable.
Even though local offerings were
scant, the price on asparagus was
sent lower here because there was
a greater abundance from Walla
Walla and some from California.
Mid-Columbia growers were willing
to meet competition on that ac
count. There are very plentiful supplies
of fresh salmon here; receipts from
ail sections of the Columbia increas
ing materially. The price of Chi
nook has been reduced to 12-13c
with steelheads down to 8c.
Weakness Is showing for halibut
with medium down to 12c and chick
en 9c pound for best.
There Is- a scarcity of crabs on
account of the rather wild seas.
Fresh sturgeon from the Columbia
1b plentiful around 12-13c lb.
Old potatoes continue to weaken;
also old onions.
New potatoes and onions are
steady.
A small supply of fresh horse
beans is offering.
PRICE CUTTING IS
HIT AT MEETING
A committee was appointed by the
Northwest Dried Fruit Association
at the nnmml meeting In Portland
this week to Investigate means of
enforcing some reasonable control
over price cutting by weak pack
ers. The sentiment among the pack
ers was In favor of some attempt
being made to give the growers re
lief from needless price cutting on
dried prunes,
Because of the pressure of debts,
tlie prune growers cannot maintain
resistance against continued lower
offers. Unless the packers them
selves enforce some protection
Against this practice, growers claim
that another price cutting year Is
ahead. It Is understood that the
growers themselves are quietly dis
cussing means of enforcing a fair
price from the packers. Just what
means is contemplated Is not
known, some suggest joining the
farmers holiday organization In pro
test, other are advising holding for
a set price of 5c for forties.
Growers arc studying the new
farm relief law to see if it offers
any hope to the distressed prune
farmers. Something is In the air,
prune speaking, and some drastic
action is likely unless packers and
growers can come to agreement be
fore opening prices are made.
NEW BUSINESS IN
PINEJACTORIES
Portland. May 12 yp New busi
ness amounting to 37,9(i!).000 feet
for the week ending May 0 was re
ported by the Western Pine asso
ciation here today. This was 17
per rent below the previous week
and 25 per cent, less than the three
year weekly average for May. Of
the 114 reporting mills, but 53 were
operating.
Shipments were 3l.R8l.000 feet,
and production 27.40fi.OO0 feet, put
ting production at 20.2 per cent of
capacity as compared with 18.fi per
cent for the previous week, and 9.8
per cent for the year to date.
Current orders were 28 per cent
of sawmill capacity,
RAIN BENEFICIAL
TO BERRY OUTPUT
Tne continued rains are beneficial
to logans and other cane berries,
according to local growers, because
leaf and shoot growth has every
possible chance to develop before
hot weather appears.
Due to the weak condition of the
logan plants after the sharp winter,
wet cool weather now will allow the
logans to produce some fruit regard
less of the weakened condition. The
Liberty district south of town con
tinues to show up the poorest of
any logan section in the slate. In
the Woodburn and Portland dis
tricts the yards will yield a better
crop than in the Salem territory
Canncrs estimate not more than
a 30 percent crop at best. Thirty
percent ol last year's crop would
yield only 50.000 cases of logans in
the northwest as against 150.000 last
year and a pack of 900,000 cases In
926 which was the peak season.

FOR 75 CENTS
While 75-cent ideas still per
meate the minds of hop growers
who have some hops to sell, as near
as can be determined authentically
the market is at 67 cents, with that
price offered but at noon today
there were no reports of that price
being paid. One holder of quite a
considerable lot stated he had a 67
cent offer and he thought in all
likelihood he might take it on be
fore night. But inasmuch as he had
the same idea when the market was
50 cents, but did not take on the
offer, there is a bare chance he may
change his mind before night.
A checkup made this morning by
Henry Cornoycr, secretary of the
Oregon Hopgrowers association
showed a total of 0484 bales yet left
unsold In Oregon in both growers
and grower-dealers hands, including
ID32 crop and older.
The segration shows 3577 bales of
the 1032 crop still in the hands of
growers and 1412 bales of older
hops still resting with the growers
or 4495 bales altogether. Grower
dealers stocks not segragated show
ed 4405 of both 1932's and older.
Cornoyer also received advices
today from Prof. G. R. Hoerncr of
radio KOAC at Corvallis that every
Thursday evening at 7 o'clock
starting last night, that station will
put on special information of in
terest to the hop industry. He also
stated tlie station hoped to have
officers and committeemen of the
association appenr from time to
time to broadcast hop ititormatlon.

STOCK MARKET
PRICES HOLD-UP
DESPITE BEARS
New York, May 12 (IP) The stock
market overcame all attempts to
depress prices today and In a last
half-hour spurt moved up in all
sections.
The major item to bring the turn
in the trend was unanimous agree
ment of major nations to a tariff
truce to prevent retaliatory tariffs
pending the outcome of the world
economic conference.
A hoard of favorable items pre
ceded that declaration, but profit
taking predominated until the late
trading. Copper metal advanced to
new high for the year at 7 cents
a pound; the president signed the
farm bin; Dun and Bradstreet re
ported contra-seasonal gains in
retail and wholesale trade; hog
prices made new highs; steel prices
advanced; one of the largest steel
companies was reported to be oper
ating "in the black."
Oil stocks were whirled up while
the general list was declining in the
early afternoon. Practically every
issue of the group made a new
1933 top and gains ranged to more
than 2 points. Traders anticipated
federal action to rectify the over
production. Some companies in
Texas closed wells until oil prices
advanced.
Communications were strong fea
tures throughout the day. American
Telephone was carried to a new
high on the movement at 108 up
3',h points from the previous close
and only a point under the 1933
high. It held most of the gain.
Short covering was mainly respon
sible for the raise as traders re
vised recent predictions the direc
tors would reduce the dividend. A
majority now believes the payment
will be made when directors meet
next week. It was learned from
well-informed sources that the New
York Telephone, major subsidiary
of American, has experienced its
first upturn over the previous year
in the number of telephones in use
since 1929.
Western Union made a new top
for the year at 43, while Interna
tional Telephone equaled its top
and Postal Telegraph preferred ap
proached its best level of the year.
Profit-taking reduced prices of
wheat small fractions, but corn
closed up fractions to more than a
cent. Cotton rallied and spot closed
unchanged. In cash markets gains
were made in butter, flour, copper,
hogs, steers, sheep, lambs, tin, corn,
oats, lard, rubber, hides and silk.
Silver, coffee, and wheat declined.
Automobile business was report
ed at a high level. General Motors
equalled Its high for the year of
24ni . Chrysler came up. Nash made
a new high for the year at 17 's.
Sears Roebuck and Montgomery
Ward made new highs for the year.
Sales totaled 4.560,000 shares, i
against 66,160,000 shares yesterday,
curb stock sales reached 637,000, the !
heaviest for the year except for
one session.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
were: industrial 82.16, off 0.32; rail
road 37.31, off 0.12; utility 28.67, up
0.19.
Aggregate market value of 10
leading issues was $6,694,626,236,
against $6,696,120,244 yesterday, a
decline of $3,494,008.
LUMBER ORDERS
SHOW AN INCREASE
Seattle, May 12 HP In a mount
ing Pile of unfilled orders, the West
Coast Lumbermen's association to
day saw tlie lumber industry "gain
ing in market strength every day,"
but continued to caution that east
ern buying appears speculative "as
incirased building Is not yet no
ticeable.'1 A sharp gain in Atlantic coast
sales was attributed to an announc
ed freight rates advance for June
loading and an increase in the mill
price.
Orders for the week ending May
6 were 69.4 per cent more than pro

GRAIN PRICES
Chicago, May 12 (fl1) Profit taking
late today led to reactions for all
groin values after new top prices
for the season had been reached.
Wheat and com were both up more
than 5 cents since Tuesday.
An over-bought condition for at
least the time being as to wheat In
particular was disclosed. Signing of
the Roosevelt combined agriculture
and Inflation bill had little effect on
tlie grain markets, as for some time
the majority of traders had been
operating on assumption that the
measure would become a law.
Wheat closed irregular ,i off to
M up compared with yesterday's
finish, corn M-Vn advanced, oats
Vfe-'i gain and provisions a rie of
12 to 40 cents.
Grain prices averaged higher ear
ly today after a wavering start.
Public appetite for commodity own
ership soon manifest itself on price
downturns. Corn displayed the most
strength, influenced by further gen
eral rains adding to field work delay.
Opening at 3-8 off to up, wheat
later,, scored gains. Corn started un
changed to ?i higher, and subse
quently advanced all around.

The hundreds at the camp, how

Tlie self-styled "right wing" group,
which refused to accept the Fort

Shot After Accident
Garden, Mich. IP Tod, famed
36-year-old rodeo horse, is dead. He
was shot after falling on the ice and
breaking a leg near here.
Named after Helen Todd, one ol

Tod was widely known for his ac

but was trained to throw an unwary
rider, a characteristic which made
him popular in rodeo rough riding.
Tod's last owner, Mrs. Catherine
Hughes. Fayette. Mich., brought him

JOBS DELAYED
Letting of highway contracts set
for May 17 was postponed by the
state highway commission today.
The five jobs, which would total
in excess of $100,000 will be let at
a later date. The postponement
action was taken pending action
by congress on the public works
fund, it was announced. Should
federal aid be obtained, the money
involved In these contracts would be
saved to the state for right of way
purposes, it was explained.
The commission in the mean
time expects to hold a meeting or
meetings to obtain the official ap
proval of the $25,000,000 program of
work sent J. M. Devers at Washing
ton for presentation to congression

lic works committee. It was hoped
all or part of this amount could
be appropriated for highway work
in Oregon. Tlie projects, listed by
the highway department, will be
made public following action of the
commission.
Tlie projects for which the receipt
of bids have been postponed are

EXPLAIN FARM
AID MEASURE
Corvallis, May 12 (JP) An Increase
in agricultural purchasing power as
a prime means of relieving the na
tional economic emergency is the
central purpose of the farm adjust
ment act signed today by President
Roosevelt.
Extension service experts at Ore
gon State college believe, on the
basis of information received direct
from officials at Washington, D. C,
that the evident intent of the ad
ministration is to begin at once to
put some of its provisions gradually
into effect by making use of existing
federal and state agencies.
A digest of the bill, the college
experts said, discloses that it con
tains three distinct parts, "The first
dealing wu)h production control and
benefit payments, the second with
farm mortgage credit, and the third
with possible currency control. The
first section will be administered
through the department of agricul
ture, the second is to be handled by
the farm credits administration, and
the third directly by the president
and his aides."
Tlie summary said three broad
means of obtaining proper adjust
ment of domestic production of ba
sic farm products to meet world
demand levels are provided in the
bill, although "the application of
any one of these to any individual
farmers is entirely voluntary with
the fanner." Every effort, it was
said, will be made by the national
administration to bring about far
mer participation through explana
tions of intended advantages, but
there will be no coercion whatever."
E GROWER
SHORT 10,000
CONTROL TON
The United Prune Growers of
California needs, as has been pre
viously stated, ten thousand or
theerabouts additional tons to be
signed into either the California
Prune Pool or the California Prune
and Apricot Growers Association by
May 16, to bring the total control
up to the required 80 per cent says
the California Fruits News. This is
owing to losses during the past
operating season, through property
transfers and such like causes and
withdrawals from the Association.
The United prune organisation's
pooling contract requires that re
placement of this lost tonnage dur
ing the past season be made up by
May 16 or the organization will
have to liquidate and can not go
into the 1933 season.
This general prune pooling plan
has been so successful in the short
time of its existence that it has a
performance record which ought to
appeal to all possibly concerned.
Packers want the deal to go for
ward and the growers have ma
terially benefittel in price as well
as in clearing the market of past
carry-over. The prospects for both
growers and packers in the 1933
dried prune season is tremendously
improved over the prospect a year
ago. It was, accordingly, thought
that this small neeaed tonnage
would easily come in. Experience
to date has been disappointing,
however, and only a small propor
tion had been added up to the last
few days. Now, however, the emer
gency of the matter has been more
impressed upon outside growers
and additional acreages are being
more freely signed. The prospect
is that the necessary tonnage may
come In in time but it is going to
be a big last-minutes effort, appar
ently. CHILDREN GAINED
WEIGHT ON MILK
Tlie feeding of one pint of milk
daily to five underweight school
children resulted in an average gain
in weight of 1 2-5 pounds over a
period of six weeks, according to a
report made by Lyle Murray, prin
cipal of Englewood grade school, the
place where the experiment was
conducted. The report of an experi
ment tried in the James John school
in Portland, prompted the teachers
in the lower grades in the Engle
wood school to try the same thing
on a smaller scale.
For the local experiment four
children, all underweight, were se
lected from the three lower grades.
One pint of milk daily for the five
school days were added to the diet
of each. Each child was weighed at
the start of the experiment and a
careful check was made each week
following. One child weighing 414
pounds at the start increased two
pounds during the six weeks. An
other increased from 40 to 4016, an
other 44 to 44, the fourth from 60
to 62 andn the fifth from 45vi to 47.
The latter had made no previous
gain since September.
"We believe that a longer period
would have shown a greater propor
tionate gain," the report added.
"There were definite gains shown in
vitality as well as weight."
Dairies assisting in the project
were the Producer's Milk company.
Hazel Dell dairy, Capitol Dairies,
Salem Sanitary Milk company and
Waldo Hills dairy.

Tlie school equipment lacked films
suitable for work being done by his

Berries From South
Of Excellent Flavor
Berry men are interested in the
flood of fine tasting California
strawberries that are appearing on
the northwest markets. These ber
ries are admitted to be as attractive
and as tasty as local berries and are
being sold at reasonable prices. It IM
said that these berries are being
moved north from California over
night In fast refrigerator trucks so
that the fruit arrives in fresh con
dition in contrast to the poor con
rtiiion in nast vears. The berries re
semble the famous local Marshall
somewhat. Growers are concerned
with the effect on the consumption
of local berries when they appear.

New York, May 12 (IPi Vigor ol
the upswing in business is becom
ing more pronounced even though
the period of normal seasonal ex
pansion has passed, the weekly re
view of Dunn & Bradstreet, we
said today.
That authority found the current
revivial on a firm foundation "which
has been built slowly and solidly
during the last two years.
"Of its own momentum, it au
tomatically will provide increased
employment, place more money In
tlie hands of the workers and farm
ers, and thus furnish the purchas
ing power needed to maintain an
increased movement of goods Into
the hands of consumers."
Both retail and wholesale trade
were reported at a fast pace. In
some lines prices have been marked
up as much as 25 per cent in retail
lines.
The review found automobile pro
duction has climbed to a new high
for the year and sales are Improv
ing; steel ingot production is at ft
new high in 18 months; softwood
lumber orders and shipments havtt
passed last year's comparative
level; food products, hardwood, dry
goods, and shoes appear to be tak
ing the lead in retail business; rural
buying is improving and garments
of cotton have reached a new sales
record this year.
The business activity barometer ot
Dunn & Bradstreet, Inc., now stands
at 53.4 per cent of the 1928-30 av
erage, as compared with 51.1 per

it also stood at 53.4 per cent.
EXPERIMENTS TRIED
IN ONION FIELDS
Labish Center A large number
of onion wheel hoes of a design
created by H. p. Hanes, onion fore
man at the large Hayes farm, had
their first workout this week. The
hoes are said to reduce the labor
and to work better than those
formerly used.
As an experiment tills year, the
Hayes people are trying out over
head irrigation, with equipment re
cently purchased. For the past sev
eral years controlled sub-irrigation
has been practiced with the onions,
accomplished by a series of dams
constructed in the main drainage
channels.
