By Glenn Chafdn and Dal Forrest NO CHANGE IN BUTTER PRICES Portland, Ore., Dec. 31 U There was no change In general butter market conditions for the weekend. Holiday buying caused quite a fair Increase In sales volume but as a rule trade was below normal the season. Trading In the egg market In gen eral was without change in either price or sentiment for the weekend. Price spread is rather wide locally a result of mixed quality and lack of law enforcement. Live chicken market continues to reflect a slow tone with everyone too busy with turkeys to bother with them. All killers have their full Im mediate requirements and therefore are not interested. Very strong call Is showing for dressed ducks with receipts quite moderate during the last few days. Prices are not changed because of the competition of turkeys. Geese are in call with a fair supply. Local cabbage Is moving well. Some unusually good stock is com ing from Oswego. In fact consider able of the local cabbage has not been damaged. The trade In general feels there Is no need to purchase Inferior Callfornlan. There continued a rather steady tone generally In the market for turkeys with receipts on a fairly liberal scale but quality getting more badly mixed. Prices in the main were unchanged at the week end but hens held their lead well over the toms while the spread was even greater at other points.

He hadn't checked today the exact tonnage Increase over the 40 per cent favorable votes cast at the recent meeting here but said he thought It quite appreciable but very far from the necessary 88 per cent. The deadline for voting In Oregon has been set at next Tues day night and if the favorable vote doesnt reach the desired point by that time the plan will be ditched in this state and If ditched here it Is good as ditched all over. Washington, will hold Its state meeting at Yakima next Friday, De cember 27. , About 30 of the proposed contracts have been sent to the McMlnnville DOWNTRENDS IN WHEAT PRICE Chicago, Dec. 21 tfP) July wheat, which represents the 1936 domestic winter crop harvest, led a downward movement of wheat prices today. Notwithstanding that December and May whent contracts, which stand for wheat already available displayed at first comparative firm ness, they soon succumbed to weak ness shown by the July delivery Selling of July was attributed chiefly to enlarged acreage figure: contained in the latest official re port issued after yesterday's trading was ended. The total acreage tnus given was 47,529,000, with a condl tion of 78.2 Der cent. Competent unofficial experts said today that unless there Is a heavy bombardment of acreage of domes tic winter wheat and a severe drop in condition between now and har vest, the probable yield will be con siderable more than the govern ment's estimate of 533,000,000 bush els. It was also pointed out the area sown to winter wheat Is of almos- record proportions. The total has been exceeded only by the years 1919 and 1928. Corn, oats arid provisions, unlike wheat, held about steady. Influenced by bearish aspects of the United States government crop report, Chicago wheat prices aver aged lower early today. The report indicated that the seeded area of domestic winter wheat is 2,000,000 acres larger than the estimates of private experts a few days ago, Opening cent off to up, May 99-9914, wheat soon underwent a general sag. Corn started unchang ed to U higher, May 59, and lor the time being altered little. CUPPER SHIP ON FLIGHT TO GUAM Manila, Dec. 22 (Sunday) WV-The Philippine clipper seaplane took off for Guam Island at 2:39 a.m. today (1:38 p.m. Saturday ES.T.), on Its return flight to Alameda, Calif.

TOWNSENDITESSTAGE STREET FIST FIGHT Aberdeen, Dec. 21 (ff Police, call ed to a downtown comer here by a report ot a fist fight, saw two aged men exchanging furious blows. One gave his age as 74, the other 70. The older claimed it was his first fight. Because both are "fine old gentlemen," their names were with held. They were released after first aid treatment. The fight started after an argu ment over the merits of the Town send plan. ABOUT TOMMY'S SILENCE section to be circulated there and others will go Into other sections in time for growers to pass on the question before next Tuesday. In the meantime reports came in today that efforts were being made yesterday to sign growers up on 12 cent contracts for next year and one report said a few growers had sign ed. This is an indication of how re action is had toward the present setup, indicating It is thought if the deal goes over hops are apt to go up materially. Callfornians are understood to have a counter plan of a flat 25 per cent reduction In the three states Word of this lust reached here to day and there hasn't been time to get a reaction as to local growers on the plan. Santa Rosa, Calif, Dec. 21 (IP) California hop industry leaders to day advocated a flat 25 per cent re duction In the state's 1936 crop pro duction after turning down a pro. posal to Join Washington and Ore gon growers In a "tri-state" curtail ment program under the AAA. One hundred representative grow ers from northern and central Cal ifornla turned down the tri-state plan, approving Instead the so called California plan for market stabilization. Adopted by 80 per cent of the state's growers to become effective for next year. Although not defeated by a clear majority vote of the delegates, the tri-state program was rejected au tomatically when It failed to win a two-thirds margin.

Continuation of Dallas, Silverton Prom Page One families who will not have a Christ mas dinner nor toys unless Salem's more fortunate folk look out for them. Below we list several pathetic cases which need your help. CASE 30 How would you feel Christmas eve if you were In this man's place? He is too ill to work In WPA. His wife expects to be con fined soon and he has not been able to make arrangements for the con finement. His three little boys and the seven year old girl can t under stand why their daddy is worried and cranky when they ask what Santa will bring them. It's a pretty hopeless situation. Aren't you thankful you aren't this daddy? How about showing your thankful ness by sending a Christmas basket. CASE 31 Remember when your children were little Betty only tvo years old but she understands ail about Christmas? Bob was three years old and all he could talk about was the drum Santa would bring. Jack at six was a real bov and wanted a gun. We know a Bet ty, Bob and Jack that have been told that Santa wouldn't be able to visit their old shack this year but that they might have a nice dinner Mother and dad won't ask for a basket but Christmas Is only a few days away and dad hasn't found a Job yet. CASE 32 Santa Cluas was very much surprised to find a large en velope in his mall. In this huge en velope were letters from four broth ers and their sister. That of little Jerry, aged three, was almost Illegible. The only thing that It conveyed was that Jerry was almost delirious with Joyful anticipa tion of the nice things he would find in his stocking Christmas morning. Ralph, eleven, and Lots, nine, ask ed for nice things too, but a vein of uncertainty ran through their letters a fear that they might not be remembered. Wistfully they ask ed for things they would like to re ceive without much faith that their longings would be gratified. Leon and Wayne, 15 and 14, also wrote letters. They don't really be lieve that there Is. a Santa Claus or that they will receive gifts on the good Saint's day, but Ralph and Lois and little Jerry insisted that they write too and In their heart they secretly hope that they wont be forgotten on December 29. Several companies having build ings in Ottawa, Km., recently took eut caxthg.salu Insurance policies. POTATO MEN WILL GATHER NEXT MONTH Oregon potato growers will be given opportunity In the next month and a half to file application for tax-free quotas under the federal Warren Potato Control act, accord ing to arrangements announced by the Oregon State college extension service. Community potato meet ings In Marion county are planned January 24, 29, 27, 28. This act, which toon effect De cember 1 and will apply to all new crop potatoes unless repealed by congress at the forthcoming ses sion, will be administered by po tato growers themselves, but the extension service has been given the tasK oi arranging meetings where the law will be explained and where applications for quotas will be made. A state potato committee consist- lng of a. J. Hillyard, Klamath Falls; E. B. Eby, Redmond, and Robert Warrens, Forest Grove growers, has been appointed. Servu.g with them will probably be a member of the bureau of crop estimates staff In Portland and a member of the ex. tension service. O. K. Beals, coun ty agent at large, has been appoint. ed to head the educational work in explaining the plan to growers. under a recent ruling the ex emption has been raised from five bushels to 50 bushels This means that any grower whose average an nual potato sales for 1932 to 1935, inclusive, were not more than 50 bushels, may apply' tot and receive exemption stamps for such an amount. It does not mean that every grower will have a 50-bushel exemption, but that it he can show average sales of 50 bushels or below, he will not need to make any reduc tion in order to sell all his usual crop, tax free. It is emphasized, however, that every grower who In tends to sell any potatoes will need to apply for such exemption. All other growers will apply for a quota for which they will be is sued tax-free stamps. A national sales quota has been established which Is still considerably above the total required to supply all of America's needs. In holding sales of table stock to this level, the growers will merely be removing the pressure from the market of excess potatoes which In years of large crops only rot in cellars anyway, according to those who have spon sored this means of adjustment. There Is nothing in the law to prevent any grower from planting as many potatoes as he wishes, ac cording to J. L. Maxton, principle field officer for the potato section, who was in Oregon recently helping set up the plan here. It is quite probable, he said, that efficient growers in specialized potato grow ing sections will want to plant their usual acreage. Then In case their production of first grade potatoes exceeds their quota. It will still be profitable for them in many cases to dispose of this excess by pur chasing tax stamps from other growers who have been issued them but who, through crop failure or other reasons, have not filled their quota.
