MODERATE SALES
OF HOPS IN WEEK
Portland, Ore, Deo. 21 W) Pacific
coast hop markets again displayed
some Irregularities during the week
ending December 18, but for the
most part were about steady to
lightly firmer, the Federal Bureau
of Agricultural Economics reported
today.
Moderate sales of 2,053 bales
brought from seven to nine cents a
pound net to growers for 1B3B clus
ters, traders reported.
Lack of any selling pressure from
rowers, light remaining supplies of
strictly top grade new crop hops
and continued fairly steady demand
were the principal steadying mar

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.
LUMBER BUYING

Seattle, Dec. 21 UP) Unusual lum
ber buying activity noted during No
vember has carried through into the
first two weeks of December, report
of the West Coast Lumbermen's as

California Rejects
Hop Control Plan But
Oregon Voting Goes On
While the tri-state plan for a hop production control
protrram suffered a severe setback by its rejection by Cali
fornia growers at San Jose yesterday, votes for the plan still
arc coming in from Oregon growers,
reports Frank Needham, secretary
of the growers' association In Ore
gon. 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

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

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.

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.
