EGG QUALITY
REDUCED AND
TRADE SLACKS
Portland, Ore., June 21 (LP)
Weakness in the egg trade is gen
erally shown. Weather conditions
re not only against but likewise
retards demand somewhat. The lo
cal co-ops continue their nominal
quotations at the extreme point but
this price is seldom confirmed in
the trade.
Most private firms are now
quoting 2c under what the co-ops
are nominally naming.
There was practically no change
in the butter market situation for
the day. Demand was sufficient to
clean up out-state offerings as well
as local churning.
There has been a complete rever
sal of demand for spring chickens
with the small stuff in best call.
This does not include the skin and
bone offerings. Hens are unchanged.
First Oregon grown bing cher
ries of the season have arrived.
They were small but of good qual
ify. Prices nominally $1.25 per 15
lb. box.
All through the potato trade,
new and old. there is an improved
trend. In all parts of the country
there has been an awakening in
old potatoes which are very scarce.
Badly mixed price list is showing
lor apricots here with the trade
overstocked with Califomian. Sales
arc shown from $1 a lug down to
half that sum. Canning varieties
due within a day or so.
There was practically no change
in the general country meat trade
for the day. Good- quality calves
are moving out within the price
range and hogs are fairly steady.
Lambs alone arc depressed.
Better prices are showing In the
strawberry market Wednesday.
Prices are firmer and generally
higher with a general top of $1.50
for good stuff with some quoting
fractionally higher or lower.
Lemons are very strong; look
higher again.
Watermelons are weaker and
lower; 3 cents lb. top.
Cantaloupes are steady for qual
ity. Tomato market very active at full
prices.
Old onions arc steady while new
onions are lower.
There is only a nominal call for
pie cherries around 5c lb.
Crabs are plentiful ond low
priced.
CANNERY WAGE
FIXED SATURDAY
All Salem canners are expected to
be in Portland Saturday to attend
a conference scheduled between la
bor commissioners of Oregon, Cali
fornia and Washington when It is
expected the matter of minimum
wage fur cannery workers for the
season will be definitely fixed.
Lost year Oregon and Washington
canners maintained a wage scale of
32 cents an hour and California a
scale of 25 cents an hour. This year
Washington and Oregon canners
have continued the 226 cent sche
dule while California canners are
reported to have dropped to 20c an
hour. It is thought that the uniform
wage scale may be adjusted at Sat
urday's conference.
Canncrymen state that labor com
missioners of the three states have
shown a desire to cooperate in the
labor situation this year instead of
playing crack the whip and it is be
lieved any difficulties which may
arise will be amicably Ironed out.
REACH AGREEMENT
ON PROCESSING TAX
Washington, June 21 (AT) Frank
A. Theis, wheat marketing and pro
cessing chief under the farm act,
has readied a tentative basis for
agreement with millers in applying
processing taxes of about 30 cents
a bushel which Secretory Wallace
will order effective July 15 to fi
nance a wheat acreage reduction
Floor stocks held by millers will
be subject to the processing tax. but
as the wheat will have lost its iden
tity it will be necessary to establish
a per barrel rate on flour.
An arbitrary conversion factor has
been tentatively agreed upon. 4.6
bushels of wheat for a standard bar.
rcl of flour of about 106 pounds. If
the processing tax as finally estab
lished is 30 cents a bushel, the tax
on floor stocks of flour will amount
to about $1.38 per barrel.

THREAT MADE
OF DUMPING
GRAIN ABROAD
Chicago, June 21 (P) Secretary of
Apiculture Henry A. Wallace told
the Millers' National federation to
day, it was conceivable that the
United States might "resort to
dumping" its wheat surplus on the
world market if other wheat pro
ducing nations "do not see the
ight."
"You know," the secretary snid,
'that if the hot weather in the Da-
kotas and Montana continues, in ad.
dition to the loss of much of the
winter wheat crop in the southwest,
it is probable that we will have the
smallest total whent crop in a gen
eration this year, and many of you
will ask, Why worry about a sur
plus?.
"The problem is deeper tnan mat,
however. We slill have our 350,000,-
000 bushel carryover July 1 and we
can not count on bad weather and
a small crop two years In succession.
So that, with prices on the upward
trend n, you know that next year's
winter wheat crop may be so large
that the 800,000,000 or even possible
000,000,000 bushel crop will not be
too much to expect next year.
"We know of no market for the
more than 200,000,000 bushels Addi
tional surplus that would result
from such a crop.
It is likely now that it will not
be possible to make any great cur
tailment of next year's crop, be
cause of the fact that the interna
tional wheat conference is still in
session. So it Is conceivable that the
United States, if Australia, Argen
tina, and Canada do not sec the
light, might resort to dumping its
surplus into the world market at a
price os low as 20 cents a bushel
while holding the domestic price at
around $1.
'It would be deplorable if that
had to be done, but I think it is
conceivable if necessary to bring
down our wheat surplus.'

ON FAVORABLE
BUSINESS NEWS

with oils in active demand at new
highs for the year, sugars up sharp
ly, and the main body of stocks
quiet but steady.
A late rally followed word from
London the dollar would be pegged
around $4.40 for the pound. The
dollar, however, remained steady in
terms of foreign currencies, slight
ly higher in relation to the pound
and franc and off a small amount
in terms of others.
Traders paid more attention to
business conditions and to crop
prospects than to dollar news.
Higher prices for gasoline aided
the oil division. Major business
indices were up sharply. Steel op
eration hits 50 per cent of capacity
for the first time in more than 2
years. Electricity output rose 9:5
per cent above a year ago.

gains of 2 to 2 cents a bushel;
corn up 1 to 3 cents; oats up
IV to l'i; rye up ITi to 2?i; and

more than 5 points and others
made corresponding gains. Beach
Nut made a new high In the pack
ing group. Air reduction Jumped
more than 4 points to feature the
chemical division.
Alcohol issues were bid up sharp
ly. They eased later on profit-
taking. Early demand for the "wet"
group was based on addition of 3
states to the group favoring repeal.
HAILS STRONGER
Rails had a spell of strength in
the early afternoon. The gains
were not held in all the issues and
they turned quiet before the close.
Leaders, however, moved higher on
the day. Uutilities quieted down
but their prices held well.
Motor issues were steady around
the previous close. Gold miners
moved irregularly throughout the
day. Steels were firm all day on
the continued gains in the indus
try. Steel common closed at 56,
up for the day. It crossed 57
in the early dealings. Bethlehem
closed at 35 , up - point.
Sales totaled 3,890,000 shares, the

with the workings of the new farm
relief acts, especially the industrial
control act, as it will apply to the

50 PERCENT OF
FRANQUETTES TO
BE HARVESTED
That there will probably be about
50 per cent of a crop of Franquettes,
comparing the crop to that of last
year's when there was an extra
big production, was the belief ex
pressed by some leading walnut men
of the state gathered here today.
The men are chairmen of various
committees of the North Pacific
association, met here to discuss
problems confronting the industry
from various angles, especially plant
problems, such as grading as well
as marketing.
In the party were A. E. Wright,
McMinnville; F. W. Meyers, Dun
dee; W. G. Brown, Portland, and
M, P. Adams, Salem.
After a session at the Marlon
hotel they adjourned to the local
plant of the cooperative, where they
were engaged in discussions the
better part of the day.
Mr. Wright, who has one of the
large franquette orchards in the
McMinnville section and has paid
particular attention to the fran
quette problem, said from appear
ances this nut was not pulling out
from the effects of the freeze as
well as It might have and he would
place the 50 per cent estimate as
to last year's crop, taking into con
sideration new acreage coming into
bearing. On the older trees he
would say that there would not
be more than 25 per cent of last
year's large production from the
same trees. However, he stated it
was a little early yet to be at all
definite as the leaves hide the nuts
when they are small and the trees
may have an entirely different ap
pearance a month or so from now
as the nuts develop and make them
selves known.

Kansas City, Mo., June 21 (IP)
Searing heat scorched the southwest

to crops on the first official day of
summer today.
The mercury shot above SO to
mark the beginning of the 13th day
this month of 90-100 degree temper

only by the torrid June of 1911.
Only .03 of an inch of rain has
fallen thus far in June, 3.23 inches
below normal and 2.18 inches below
that of the same date last June.
Pastures were drying out and
livestock was being shipped to mar

livestock in western Kansas was so
acute that Gov. Landon appealed to
federal and Red Cross for aid. Corn
has been least affected but will fire
soon unless rain comes.
Truck gardening in the Kansas

when it is expected E. L. Burns,
will make a report on the recent
up until it has been definately de
termined how far price fixing and
industrial control will be extended
over the canning industry under
the new powers conferred by the
government.
Underground information which
has been received here is to the ef
fect that Dr. H. R. Tolley of the
Glannlni foundation, will have
charged of fruit canning and similar
activities as far as the department
of agriculture takes charge of the
situation. And it it expected the
department of agriculture will be
the ruling factor under a section of
the bill which gave the president
authority to delegate his powers
to that department in any instance
where these powers are too extensive
and intricate for him to deem he
should handle alone. A report from
Washington stated that Dr. Tolley
was on his way there from Califor
nia to take up his duties with the
department. The Giannini foun
dation was established in California
for the purpose of research work in
matters of fruit production and
marketing and it is understood that
the selection of Dr. Tolley will
meet with general approval among
cannerymen as he is well known to
them and not only that, his gen
eral ideas as to marketing and
various phases of the situation as it
might come up under the new con
trol bill are also pretty well known
The belief is that if any price
fixing is attempted in the fruH
canning line this year It will not
be restroactlve and In fact it Is
considered that a control to this
extent will not be set up to gov
ern this year's crops, but this is not
definitely known as yet and there
is still such a feeling of uncertain
ty as has held back much dicker
ing, especially in the cherry market.
As far as is known the contracts
written by Hunt brothers with an
open end are still the only contracts
for this year's crop known in this
Immediate section, although Fruit
Products company, a big eastern
concern, has made some buys di
rectly from growers in The Dalles

NEWSPAPERS TO
BE UNDER STATUTE
Washington, June 21 P Hugh
S. Johnson, administrator of - the
industrial recovery law, said In re
sponse to inquiries today that he
assumed newspapers come under
its provision.
The law applies to all industries
operating in interstate commer
ce; but no Immediate effort is be
ing made to bring within its scope
minor industries or those in which
there are vlrtualy no sweatshop la
bor conditions or trade practices
leading to unwarranted price cut
ting. At present, formation of trade as
sociation agreements is being left
entirely to initiative of industry, al-
tnougn tne administration is urg
ing speed on the part of tlft major
groups.
Johnson said that the first goal
is to obtain agreements fixing min
imum wages and maximum hours
or work.
FIRST CHERRIES
FOR CANNING IN
MARKET TODAY
The first few cherries for barrel
ing locally have been received for
that purpose by Hunt brother, these
being Eltons and some Governor
Woods were expected in today.
From now on it is expected there
will be something doing in the pack
at that plant pretty well up to the
conclusion of the Royal Anne sea
son. The cherries are expected to
come in with first the Eltons and
Governor Woods, then the Centen
nials, Waterhouses and the Royal
Anncs. The latter are expected
around the first of July.
The Eltons are a small, long
cherry, very early and arc not so
desirable as later cherries as they
have about as much pit as meat.
But the Governor Wood variety has
met with considerable favor on part
of barrelers who like its small size
and general shape, which is a trifle
more round than the Italian cher
ry so much used for barreling but
nevertheless is considered by them
a fine barreling cherry when pick
ed at its right stage of develop
ment which is getting to be right
along about now. The size gener
ally is better than the Royal Annes
although these pickd at the right
stage are getting more and more
acceptible as they are being tried
out. Black Rpublicans are also be
ing used for barreling and bleach
out well for that purpose when
properly handled.
STEEL OUTFUT
AT 50 PERCENT
New York, June 21 (LP) Steel
production has reached 50 per cent
of capacity, the highest since April,
1931, Iron Age reported today. Mills
were said to be having difficulty
keeping up with the demands.
The 50 per cent capacity, an in
crease of three per cent for ingot
output over the preceding week,
represents a figure where many
companies probably will be operat
ing at a profit.
Some mills were beginning to fall
behind in deliveries, Iron Age said.
Increases in the industry include:
Pittsburgh from 35 to 40 per cent;
Chicago from 46 to 50 per cent;
Buffalo from 36 to 48 per cent;
the valleys, from 50 to 55 per cent;
eastern Pennsylvania, from 23 to
26 per cent; Cleveland.-Lorain, from
63 to 67 per cent.
Continuation Of
Orders Cabled
From Page One
noon to be considering the radical
step of suspending discussion of all
monetary matters ana dealing only
with economic problems in order to
prevent the possible wrecking of
the conference over the currency
stabilization imbroglio.
Gold standard countries were still
talking about forcing adjournment
of the conference pending stabiliza
tion of the American dollar and
other major currencies.
Conference leaders late in the day
were canvassing the possibility of a
satisfactory compromise being ef
fected by a temporary abandonment
of monetary affairs.
London. June 21 UP) What was
taken by many delegates to be an
indication of weakening In the gold
bloc drive for adjournment of the
world economic conference pending
stabilization of the American dol
lar, came dramatically in an im
passioned speech by Finance Min
ister Georges Bonnet of France
Just before this morning's session
was adjourned.
The forceful French minister took
the floor in the sub-committee on
temporary monetary affairs and,
while again demanding stabiliza
tion, pledged "France's full aid to
ward the success of the confer
ence."
M. Bonnet's speech, in which he
painted his picture of the dangers
of inflation and currency deprecia
tion with a broad brush, was one
of his most eloquent efforts In the
conference. He put his whole driv
ing force into the address and held
the closest attention of the other
members of the committee.
We demand concrete decisions
and not signatures at the bottom of
papers which the wind will immedi
ately carry away," he declared.
"To arrive at this end we bring
you our entire aid."
Later he emphasized this with:
'I repeat that the French delega
tion brings here France's full aid
to the success of the conference."
The French finance minister as
serted that the conference would ze
total failure unless it marked
progress toward political, economic
and financial security. He asked:
"How are you going to conceive
a lasting upturn in business with
out, first, political security; second,
economic security and reorganiza
tion or production; and, third, fin
ancial security which assures the
stability of money as the common
measure of exchange?
'We believe these are fundament
al points, and if the world econ
omic conference does not mark
progress in these subjects the con
ference's failure will be. total."
At another point he said: "Large
currency fluctuations not only im
peril national moneys and economic
structures but also threaten mod
ern society, which Is founded en
tirely on credit."

CASHBENEFFfS
FOR FARMERS IN
NEW MEASURE
Corvallis, Ore., June 21 tP) First
details of the plan by which Oregon
wheat farmers are to share in cash
benefits under the new agricultural
adjustment act this fall were re
ceived here by the extension news
editor today direct from the office
of information hi Washington, D. C.
The plan is now decided upon by
the wheat division of the agricul
tural a d just ment administration
calls for decentralized administra
tion by counties, payment of two
thirds of the first cash benefits by
about September 15, acreage reduc
tion by those participating of not to
exceed 20 percent, and the inclusion
of what amounts to partial crop in
surance. The domestic allotment plan has
definitely been selected as the one
to put in force, the word from
Washington shows, and it will be
based on the proportionate domestic
use of the average wheat production
in this country for the five year pe
riod 1928-32.
The government has complete
production reports by counties for
that period which list Oregon as
13th in the wheat producing states
with an average annual production
for the period of 21,205,000 bushels.
Average wheat acreage in Oregon
for the same period totaled 1,046,
000, of which 869.Q0O was devoted to
winter wheat and 177,000 to spring
wheat. The wheat adjustment pro
gram provides for paying cash ben
efits to farmers on the basis of the
percentage of their average wheat
crop for the past three years which
Is domestically consumed as food,
contingent upon agreement to re
duce acreage.
Processing taxes recently an
nounced will be levied to meet this
cost, but warning is given that the
secretary of agriculture will exer
cise his power to enforce fair trade
practices to protect consumers
against undue rise in price of wheat
products.
CURIOUS INSECT
PROVES LACE FLY
The insect brought in yesterday
by Mrs. E. A. Sharp of Route 2 and
turned over to County Inspector
Van Trump is a neuroptera, stated
the county inspector. It is one or
a race which is very deadly to aph-
ids although this particular variety
which looks like a small winged din-
asaur may not be of the particular
aphid eating variety, although the
county inspector says he wouldn't .
recommend to an aphid that it get
in the way of the insect. The county
inspector says the term neuroptera
means "nerve winged", as the wings
of the insect are intersected with
small lines like nerves. The family
is commonly known as the lace fly
family. He will take the bug to
Willamette for more definite identi
fication.
