SPRING WHEAT
ACREAGE WILL
ADD 2,300,000
Washington, March 31 (VP) AAA
officials expect the acreage planted
o wheat to expand as much as 2,-
300.000 acres as a result of Secre
tary Wallace's action in removing
all restrictions on sowing ol spring
wheat.
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.

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.

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.

He said the military class of 1913,
now In service, wbuld not be dls
mlssed and the reduction of the
conscription term from 18 months
to one year, although decided upon,
would not be undertaken until
"when the moment was opportune."
"However," he said, "this is not
the moment either to reduce ths
conscription term or to send the
present class under arms home."
This means the men of 1913 will
stay under arms, despite the fact
the class of 1914 will begin its mili
