Practically no changes of moment are allowing for country killed beef. which is steady or of mutton ana lambs of the old crop. There are no spring lambs arriving. Some carload business In onions is confirmed at $4 net to the grower but the general trade Is quiet with only a few cars still unsold In the growing sections. Sluggish tone is suggested gener ally for potatoes with the pep out of the late campaign of speculators. Little new business Is suggested at any point while the local market Is below a replacement basis. Three thousand pounds of north ern halibut, the first from there, are reported here and selling at 27c lb. Troll King salmon is being offered around 24-26C lb. head on. Among scrap fish offerings arc Llngcod at 11c and fillets at 18c lb. with skinned sole 14c and fillets 22c.

"None was granted unless the applicants brought recommendations for such operations from health centers or relief agencies." The California state rclicl organ ization denied any connection with the Contra Costa situation. In Ohio, Davcy cited the ca.se of a woman who charged she had been forced to undergo an operation at the demand of relief workers If she was to continue receiving aid. Ohio Relief Director C. C. Still man announced the relief adminis tration would give no birth control advice. Many universities In Germany are adding compulsory physical training courses.

Wallace announced yesterday that spring wheat farmers. Instead of re ducing acreage by the 10 per cent which was decreed last fall, will be allowed to plant their full acreage and make a larger reduction in their 1036 plantings. Threats of a 1935 drought and a desire to avoid a wheat shortage led the agricultural adjustment ad ministration to this decision. Wal lace declared. He characterized it as "duty of government and the farmers' to protect consumers from a shortage. He also said it was a "duty of government and consum ers" to protect farmers from the piling up of surpluses and resulting low prices. "The drought quite definitely con tinues, the secretary said. He point ed to figures showing the precipita tion percentage of normal during January and February to be: Idaho 67, Kansas 88, Montana 61, Nebrs ka 61, North Dakota 65, South Da kota 70, Oklahoma 83, Oregon 71 Texas 102, Utah 68, and Wyoming 57.- "Adaptation of the wheat pro gram is one of a series of steps tak en by the agricultural adjustment administration, first to help the farmers through the worst drought on record and conserve the nation's food supply in 1934, and second to complete the recovery from conse quences of drought this year, so as to give consumers double assurances of ample national food supplies,' the AAA said. Corvallis, March 21 (yp) The new AAA wheat adjustment contracts. tc run for four years, have been completed by the wheat section and now are in the hands of the general planning section at Washington, ac cording to E. R. Jackman, extension agronomist at Oregon State college, who has returned from special duty at the capital in connection with the wheat program. The new contracts may be out by the latter part of June, Jackman believes. They are intended to pro vide for continuance of wheat acre age control following expiration of tne current three-year contracts. The new contracts in their pres ent state follow quite closely the provisions of the old ones, Jackman said. Much the same base will be used, although in figuring acreage the year 1933 Is substituted for the first year of the old base period. For production computations 1933 is added, making a six-year base. TWENTY GROWERS ATTEND MEETING North Howell A strawberry meeting was held at North Howell Grange hall Tuesday evening with about 20 growers present represent ing 100 acres of uncontractcd straw berries.

On the way down stafrin employed no fewer than four different methods of trans portation. Snowshoes were used on the first part of the trip, the snow was 95 inches deep, then a car succeeded by a train and a plane. Stafrin has not visited here for sev eral years. He was at one time a member of the Carl B. Fenton post of the American Legion. GRAIN PRICES RALLY SHARPLY Chicago, March SI (IP) Heavy "resting" orders to buy May wheat Rt 93 cents a bushel rallied that grain sharply from an early drop to day and the cicse was to high er, with May at 84'i cents, July 91 and September 91. September corn was under pres sure, despite growing fears of chinch bug damage to the crop, and the de livery made a new low for the sea son at 6914 cents a bushel. The mar ket closed to 1 cent lower. Oats were off Vi to up K cent at the close. A combination of adverse influ ences early offer the worst dust storm in the history of the south west as a factor In the wheat pit. Buyers, actuated by further storm news, turned to the selling side later. The market met heavy profit-taking as a result of the recent ad vances, but It was absorbed later. A rally In stocks was a factor. Locals, professionals and "spread ers" pressed September corn. The yellow cereal felt the lack of a spec ulative interest to check the break and prices gave ground readily. Chicago, March 21 Respon sive to official announcements of removal of restrictions on United States spring wheat seeding, grain prices underwent early setbacks to day. The Washington government report on farmers' intentions to plant was also construed as bearish. Opening unchanged to lower, May 9314-14, wheat then held near these limits. Corn started 14 -4 off. May 7814-Vi, and subsequently al tered little. OREGON MOHAIR CROP ESTIMATED Oregon mohair production in 1934 is estimated at 348,000 pounds by the division of crop and livestock estimates, in their report of March 15. 1935. Tills compares with 350. 000 pounds in 1933 and 450.000 pounds produced in 1932. Present prospects indicate considerable de crease in production for 1935 com pared with 1934. However, no ac tual estimate is available for 1935 at this time. Decreased production In Oregon is largely the result of un favorable prices and lack of inter est generally in the goat industry. Substitutes for mohair caused a general decline in demand for mo hair in upholstery manufacture. Mohair production in six leading mohair producing states for 1934, including kid hair, is estimated at 12.409.000 pounds compared with 15.895.000 pounds In 1933. The de cline in mohair production was due to a 22 per cent decrease In the number of goats clipped and 7 per cent decrease in the average clip per goat. LUTHERANS ORGANIZE PERMANENT SOCIETY Silverton John C. Ooplerud was made president of the definite or ganization of the Lutheran Brother hood of Silverton Tuesday evening when the temporary membership met for permanent plans.

To avoid hitting a cow an Aiitoist near, Olasgow, Scotland, crashed Into a school bus, injuring 14 children. I 1 OSR- A x v y. STOCKS CLIMB 1 TO 4 POINTS TRADING HEAVY New York, March 21 (IP) The stock market climbed 1 to more than 4 points today, led by a last hour buying movement in public utility issues, in trading which forc ed tickers a minute behind the mar ket. The strength in utilities was founded on a rumor that the pub lic works administration would cease lending money for erection of municipal power plants. The ru mqr was without confirmation but utility stocks and bonds rallied. Other developments Included: Rumors that a favorable railroad rate report might be made soon. Defeat of the LaFollette amend ment to the public works bill which would have almost doubled relief expenditures. A speech by Prof. E. W. Kemmer- er, monetary authority, that "infla tion virus" was working slowly but powerfully at the moment. Bonds were mixed but the cotton market recovered almost all of a mid-day break of around $1.50 a bale. The first four hours on the stock market were dull. Price changes were narrow. Then came a little buying into leading utility issues, which suddenly developed Into a full boom in all utility shares, in cluding low priced issues. Rails and industrials were slow In picking up momentum, but when the utility rally lasted, they too swung into a climbing market. Shortly before 2 o'clock, tickers got behind and prices reached their peak, gains being widest in pre ferred shares of utility companies. Trading volume slackened but prices held around their highs. Better gains included Columbia Gas preferred, up 4 at 49, Con solidated Gas preferred up 414 at 81, Consolidated Gas up more than 2 points above 19. Peoples Gas up 2 at 21, American Telephone up 214 at 10314, North American up 2 at 11?4, United Corporation preferred up 1 to 24. Public Service of New Jersey 8 per cent preferred up 4 at 104 and the common up 214 at 24?i. Continuation of Two Class B One A Prom page One Mill City, another "B" class club was nosed out by Corvallis in the best exhibition of the morning round 25 to 19. LaOrande concluded its performance in this year's show by losing to Marsh field 39 to 26. Ben son, Marshlield and Corvallis will continue in the consolation series playing their third rounds Friday forenoon. The contests late this afternoon and tonight promise to be as close ly fought as any of the entire scr ies. Salem, which had a rather easy time against LaGrande in the first round, ran up against Coach Ed Finne's Columbia preppers sparked by Bill O'Donnell, who performed the remarkable feat Wednesday night of scoring 21 of his team's total of 28. Ashland, picked by the experts as one of the leading learns in the tournament clashed with Jefferson of Portland at 4 o'clock with the southern Oregon champions being the favorites. Astoria, last year's champions and one of the best money quints of the state, will meet Klamath Falls in the 7:30 game of tonight. The Fish ermen had a tough encounter with the inspired Mill City outfit Wed nesday evening while the Pelicans were hard pressed to eke out a two point win over Corvallis. Astoria and Klamath met in the finals of the 1934 series with the Fishermen staging a brilliant second half rally to win. Realizing the endurance powers of Coach John Warren's ag gregation, it is expected the Peli cans will turn on the heat in the first half tonight, hoping to pile up a lead the Fishermen will not be able to overcome despite the ability of Sarpota and Johanscn to collect buckets from all angles. The McMinnville-Oakridge clash at 8.30 promises to be Just as thrill ing with the former slight favorites by reason of their smooth perform ance against The Dalles. The Ridgers, despite being their initial appearance in big time basketball, exhibited an entire lack of nervous ness last night and should give the Bears an exciting 32 minutes. A rather slim crowd, made up for the most part of spectators who pride themselves on seeing everv one of the entire 26 games during the tournament, was on hand for the consolation series Thursday morning. Marshficld In defeating LaOrande, turned in a much bet ter performance than it did in the first round. On the other hand the Tigers from Union county had a lot A DESPERATE CHANCE of tough luck with their shots, the ball banging the rim but bouncing the wrong way. The Pirates garn ered a 21 to 12 lead at half time with Kolen, Rackleff, Ring and Mc Carthy dividing scoring honors. La Orande Just about held their op ponents even during the final per iods but was unable to overcome the advantage registered against them during the first half. Umapine was outclassed but not outfought by their huskier Benson Tech opponents. About- the onlv tiling at stake was the size of the score the techmen would be able to rill up against the tribesmen. Ben son started somewhat slowly but soon warmed up to the task at hand and scored baskets with a great deal of ease. Coach Skippy Stivers took advantage of the situation to use all eight of his men. Plrey Mill City gave Corvallis high several anxious minutes before the latter finally conquered their "B" league rivals during a closing minute drive. The Spartans, coached by Jim Torson, started out In a big way and plied up a 10 to 3 lead at the quarter and 17 to 8 at the half. Mill City came driving back after the intermission to come within one point of knotting the count during the final period. Seim, before going out on personal fouls, kept Mill City In the running by shooting three baskets within the space of as many minutes. The game was rough and in addition to Selm, Catherwood was benched for too much personal con tact on the Mill City squad while P. Sandoz went to the showers ear ly for Corvallis.
