'S
Portland, Aug. 21 (IP) Butter ex
tras advanced one cent today; stan

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.

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.

IN TANGLE OVER
EXPORT QUOTA
London, Aug. 21 (P) Attempts
to reach an agreement on export
quotas were definitely abandoned
today by the world wheat confer
ence, which has been in session for
a week.
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.

Marshall Berries
Doing Double Duty
Sllverton Hills The Marshall
strawberries In tills community are
vieing with the dogwood and are
doing double time this season. The
fruit is ripening in quantities, witn
green berries and blossoms on the
vines. The growers are not using the
berries commercially but merely for
their own and their neighbors' ta
bles. Yards producing the second crop
of Marshalls are Knauf Brothers,
Grant Ross, F, H. Hadley, Charles
Alexander and J. A. Reinhart.
New York, Aug. 21 (IP) The stock
market today duplicated Its per
formance of exactly a week ago.
Prices rose 1 to more than 3 points
without much pickup over yester
day's dull session, the lightest In
11 years.
A better tone was noted from
the opening when prices were frac
tionally higher. The whole list gath
ered strength in the morning and
some Issues added to their gains
in the afternoon. Volume was con
siderably above yesterday in the
first two hours but thereafter the
rate of increase diminished.
U. S. government issues were de
pressed. Commodities generally
moved higher. Corn led the grains
upward. Rubber, silk and sugai
firmed. Cotton was bid up for a
time but It gave up gains near the
close.
The railroad group made the best

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.

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

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."

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.
