OREGON TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1934 8 BUTTER PRICE ADVANCES IN 'S Portland, Aug. 21 (IP) Butter ex tras advanced one cent today; stan dards and prime firsts were up one half cent, and firsts jumped one and one-half cents a pound. Butt erf at was lifted at least one cent. Trading In the local egg market Is firmer with almost general advances In list prices. Soft price spots are shown for cantaloupes because of quality de terioration. Quality In general is not up to the average of recent years which has hurt consumption some what. Demand lor best quality tomatoes Is firmly held as Is the price but ordinary to poor stuff, which forms the major portion of the supply is celling generally below code figures. Good demand is showing for peaches but chiefly for The Dalles and Willamette valley offerings. Country killed hog prices are gen. erally at least closely following the advances made In the local livestock market yesterday with sales report ed to 13c for light butchers. Dressed veal continues very firm and at full prices with not enough coming In to fill demand. Dressed lambs are moving out well at late prices. Late pears are beginning to ap pear but the public is still after the disappearing Bartletts. Potatoes and onions are generally without price change. Huckleberries ire finding a fair call around 7-8c lb. PRUHEHARVEST NEARS FINISH The prune harvest in this district Is expected to be pretty well over by this week with indications that every prune will be saved. This will be largely due to the heavy prune tonnages taken In by the canne ries which are putting on one of the biggest packs in history in this district. In drying it Is reported that the sixes are coming out a little dis appointing, a report from the hills stating tli at the average is run ning about 48 to 50 points which possibly is about five points smaller than was expected. But the qua. lty Is said to be fine and the crop large and now it is hoped that Ger many will loosen up and take on Its share of the buying which will materially aid the situation from a marketing standpoint. Silver ton Rev. W. O. Livingstone fif the Sllverton Christian church, is it tomato grower as well as a min ister, and he wonders if any one a biRRcr and better story than lie enn truthfully furnish in respect to size, . He has 30 plants, 24 of the Ore gon Special variety, and 12 of the Marglobe, a new tomato. The plants are trained upon a three foot wire arrangement, and average well over 8 feet in hclghth, with the stems an inch and a half in diameter af ter the plants are In conjunction with the wire supports. Near the ground, the plants are small in diameter. The tomatoes, ripened, run from three and a half to six Inches In diameter and are round and smooth. The Marglobes are a meaty variety with scarcely no weds. Two thirds of the large plants now have from fifty to fifty-five tomatoes, large ripe and green, small growing green ones, and num erous blossoms. Mr. Livingstone said that he makes It a practice to allow the plants to grow very large before setting them in the ground of the garden from the boxes, and that he places thcin 12 or 14 Inches deep In the ground, removing practically all the leaves at the time of trans planting. ' NEW SPRAYING METHOD QUICKER Seattle, Aug 21 (P) A new meth od of testing for the residue of lead left after spraying fruit for Insect control which produces results in about half an hour Instead of the three days needed by the old meth od was announced today by the U. 6. department of agriculture. "The apparatus Is simple and the tests will be less expensive, a de partment bulletin said. "The new test is also being employed by fed eral chemists in connection with regulatory control of sprayed fruits under the federal pure-food law." The new method, which the bul letin did not describe, was devel oped by H. J. Wichman and asso ciates In the food control labora tory of the federal food and drug administration.

Unrestrained shipping of wheat by oil countries is assured, at least until November. No meeting of the full confer ence was held today, although one had been announced yesterday In an official communique. A sub' committee held a further meeting to work out details of a new agree ment which will be submitted to the governments. A plan for a quarterly adjustment of quotas. Instead of the fixed an nual figure, ts the chief feature of the proposal on which the sub committee is working. The refusal of Argentina to ac cept less than 150,000,000 bushels, coupled with a favorable world wheat situation because of the drought, led the conference to abandon a plan for establishing annual quotas during this session. If all governments favor the quar terly scheme for quotas the ques tion will be taken up this fall. Another meeting of the full con ference probably will be held to morrow to pass on new proposals before they are submitted to the 21 governments represented in the negotiations. The wheat conference decided to set aside 5 to 10 per cent of the world import demand of 600,000,000 bushels as a reserve to guard against another crisis arising during the next year similar to that which followed when Argentina exceeded her allotment last May, it was learned from an official source. The reserve quota would be dis tributed to countries which may turn out to have bumper crops dur ing the course of the year. If any country suffered crop failure, In creases would be made In this re serve quota. Chicago, Aug. 21 (P) Grain prices moved upward again cau tiously today on the stimulus of fresh advances in foreign markets. Although overnight gains of almost two cents in wheat and more than a cent in corn were scored at times, the net change was held to a slight ly narrower range largely as a re sult of hesitancy on the part of buyers. Failure of outside buying to broaden in sympathy with pro nounced strength in wheat and corn abroad was disquieting. wheat closed Vj to 114 cent high- er compared with yesterday's fin ish, December new at $1.05 to $1.06, off from the doy's high point, May deliveries closed at $1.07 to , wliile September new ended at $1.04-. Corn showed a day's gain of 1 to 1 cent, down 14 from the high, December closing at 78 to 78. Oats gained to . Rye and barley were up more than a cent. Fresh upturns of grain prices here were witnessed early today in tho wake of higher quotations at Liv erpool. Strength developed at the opening bell and wheat was pushed up well above a cent within tho first five minutes. Opening Vi to 1 cent up, December new 1.05 to 1.06, wheat later ad vanced further and then reacted Corn started xk to lid up Decem ber 77-, and then held the in itial limits.

New York, Aug. 21 (IP) The stock market today duplicated Its per formance of exactly a week ago.

NEEDHAM WHS UP PICKING OF FUOGLES Frank Necdham reports that he has finished picking the 52 acres of fuggles on his Brown island ranch, picking winding up at 5:30 last evening and gives the further in teresting report that his fuggle crop will run around 300 bales, not five bales off one way or another from the crop secured last year. He also reports that all of the crop has been dried in his new automatic drier which requires the services of no fireman or no dryer man. A kiln of hops Is put on, the dryer set and a siren advises the men in the fields when the hops are dried. He says his fuggles are now about half baled. He expects to start picking on his 10 acres of early clusters next Mon day and on his late clusters about September 3. His hops are irrigated and he says for that reason he doesn't expect many of the yards will come down with as good a crop as his did last year. HOG PRICES JUMP Kansas City, Aug. 21 (JP) Boosted along by continued small receipts, hog prices again scored advances ranging from 15 to 25 cents here to day, and carried the top on choice zuu-2uu io. weignts to stj.vo, tne highest since August 21, 1931, Users of London subways are de manding installation of parcel racks In cars. E AT STAYTON Stayton Over 2000 boxes of Ken tucky Wonder Santiam beans and about 700 of the Blue Lake beans were piled on the Stayton cannery porch Sunday morning, making it necessary that the entire crew of 250 people employed there work all day to be ready for the new week's start Monday. The average pack is between 4000 and 5000 cases per day. Additional warehouse space to handle the pack, the largest in the history of the cannery, has been secured by en closing a large porch on the north side of the building making a room 20 by 67 feet. The new Blue Lake beans, a small fancy salad variety, Is being run this year. George A. Smith, man ager of the cannery, invented a ma chine to snip the beans. By its use the beans are all cut the same length and an attractive product Cans to the amount of $2500 are be ing used daily. The beans are at their peak at this time and a con tinuous line of cars Is being unload ed. The new beans have aroused con siderable interest In the commun ity and throngs of visitors were shown through the plant during the day Sunday. The cannery is caring for the yield from about 20 acres of Blue Lakes. TYPHOID SCARE Precautions against typhoid fe ver should be exercised constantly over water and milk supplies, the state board of health urged today. The disease, no longer the menace it once was, is most prevalent in the late summer and fall months. Out breaks usually are seasonal. "The disease," the board said, "is usually contracted by way of the mouth from the use of water, milk or other foods that have been con taminated by disease-producing germs. "The disease-producing organisms are discharged with body wastes of the person who is ill with the dis ease or who has it at sometime and is a carrier of it." Water should be boiled If used for drinking purposes or washing the teeth unless its purity is estab lished, the board warned. "Among other worth while pre cautionary measures," the board continued, "are attention to general cleanliness of surroundings, the proper disposal of sewage and safe guarding of water supplies, and the use of milk and food handled only by persons who are known to be healthy. "Typhoid fever Is an unnecessary disease. Every case is due either to community negligence or the carelessness or Ignorance of some individual. Eternal vigilance in maintaining a pure water supply is necessary."

He said a great deal of the vio lence ot the recent strike was due to union longshoremen's "false" doc trine "thnt the men workimr on the waterfront owned the position which they had left to go on strike." "Any assemblage which Is riotous in its nature Is unlawful and may under the law of this state be dis persed by the sheriff or the mayor or other city official of any city or town," Carson continued.

DROUGHT CUTS CROPS BELOW LIMIT OF AAA Washington, Aug. 21 (LP) Drought and destruction surpassed the new deal planned reduction of the na tion's grain reserves and supply Dy nearly a billion bushels, analysis revealed today. The AAA sought to limit wis year's combined harvest of wheat and corn to about 3,000,000,000 bush els. Drought will hold it to about 2,000,000,000. Wheat plnnners have pushed up their calculations a year because the drought will restrict produc tion to 491.000.000 bushels the smallest In 40 years whereas they anticipated a crop of between 74U,- 000,000 and 780,000,000 bushels. "The drought has done In one year what It would have taken us two to do," George E. Farrell, chief of the AAA wheat section, said. He explained his program called for a carryover of approximately 125,000,000 to 140,000,000 bushels by July 1, 1930. Now a surplus of about that omount Is expected July 1, 1935. Farrell's present problem is to so arrange the, wheat program that it will take care of shortage if more dry weather prevails. In the case of corn, the AAA plans to cut acreage about 13,000,000 acres under the average, 1932-33. Assuming a normal yield of 30 bush els per acre, 390,000,000 bushels would have been kept from market, storage, or farm use. The total crop, therefore, would have approx imated 2,0111,000,000 bushels. But the drought attacked corn in its crucial stage and the indi cated harvest Is only 1,607,000,000 bushels, which not only would be the smallest since 1894 but would be 621,000,000 bushels less than the AAA goal. For cotton, the story is much the same, althout-h the differences are not as striking. A 31 per cent net reduction in hog numbers is foretold. On this basis America's pig population will total about 45,000.000 head on Jan. 1, 1935. That is 21,000,000 pigs less than the average, 1032-33. The AAA corn-hog program, officials said, may be said to be responsible for 13,000,000 of this reduction. The rest is chiefly attributable to the d"Ought. The shortage and high price of ?eed may cause hog raisers to sell many of their sows before the fall and winter breeding period, indicat ing a still greater reduction In pig numbers because there will be less little pigs born in the spring ot next year. CITY TO SAVE ON PHONE SERVICE The city of Salem hopes to tave $25 or $30 a month by adoption of telephone economy recommenda tions submitted at last night's meet ing by E. C. Bushnell, city building inspector. Bushnell has been in structed by the council to investi gate the telephone service for city departments. The city's present monthly bill Is $111.30 a month. Bushnell advised discontinuing two extensions in the fire department not considered es sential, the playgrounds phones at the end of the playground season, and the city install its own wires on company poles for the V-h miles of line between fire stations. The wires can be installed at $90 a mile an the city has been paying $3 per mile per month. The recommendation relative to the fire department will be further Investigated before It Is adopted. PRUNE OUTLOOK IMPROVES SOME With the California prune har vest early and in some localities quite well along, growers are ex pressing a slightly improved opin ion of the crop, says the California Fruit News. This forecast is for a total crop of 195,000 tons. Some reports indicate that the first pick has included more than the usual percentage of defective fruit, al though the later harvest Is quite satisfactory. Estimates of Califor nia prune production for other re cent years show; 182,000 tons In 1933; 172,000 In 1932, of which 4,000 tons were not harvested; 214,000 In 1931; and 274,000 in 1930. The Aug ust 1 forecast of dried prune pro duction in the northwest states shows: Washington, 3,245; and Ore gon, 28,500 tons. Peons in Mexico are receiving 35 cents a day for shellins; corn.
