MARKET SAGS
New York, March 21 IP) Build
ing, power equipment and farm
equipment shares advanced In an
Irregularly lower stock market to
day. Advance In construction and pow

tations of great replacement de
mand in the. Hood zones. These is
sues made numerous new 1935
highs.
The remainder of the market,
however, was dull and prices drop
ped under lack of buying power
The" foreign situation continued to
be a stumbling block to trading,
operators withdrawing to the side
lines uncertain of the outcome of
week-end conferences over the Ger
man situation. The French eco
nomic situation, with the franc
continuing to decline in foreign
exchange trading, also served as a
market retardant.
Among the "flood stocks" which
were pushed higher were Atlas
Portland cement at a new high of
25 up lVa, Lehigh Portland cement
at a new high of 20',4 up IS, Long
Bell lumber A up at a new high

BUnERPRlCES
DROP SHARPLY
San Francisco, March 21 (flV-Pacific
coast butter markets, which
have been developing an increasing
tendency toward erratic movements,
broke sharply this week.
The price of 92 score butter in
wholesale outlets here dropped 4tt
cents this week, Today's quotation
was 30 cents a pound. The decline
came suddenly, with a recession of
lb cents Thursday night followed
by a 3-cent drop Friday night,
F. H. McCampbell, federal observer,
said the drop followed reports that
cars of butter were rolling eastward
from Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Three cars have been received here
thus far.
Apparently the effect of this
movement of midwest butter was to
shut off distributor purchases, with
the expectation of lower levels to
come. Holders stuck to their policy
of clearing stocks, not being willing
to risk storage at these prices.
Production Increased somewhat.
McCampbell's report on represen
tative Pacific coach creameries
showed an outturn up 3.5 per cent
over the preceding week and 4.1 per
cent higher than last year.

PACIFIC HOP
MARKET QUIET
DURING WEEK
Pacific coast hop markets were
extremely quiet during the week
ended March 18, but maintained a
steady tone, according to the Week
ly Hop Market Review of the U. S.
bureau of agricultural economics.
Demand was slow trom domestic
consuming Interests and foreign
buyers, but lack of selling pressure
from growers was a steadying mar
ket influence, and price." paid grow
ers were practically unchanged from
those for the previous week. Sales
bv growers in the const states weir
confined to Oregon markets alone,
and totaled 370 bales of 1835 crop
Clusters, at prices ranging from 7c
to OHc per pound, net to producers,
variation depending upon quality.
Oregon markets furnished the
only activity in spot hops during
the past seven days, a total of 370
bales of new crop hops bringing 7c
7'ic per pound, net to grower, the
OU'C price being for prime to choice
hops. The market tone appeared
about steady with prices showing
unchanged from the previous week.
Lack of selling pressure from grow
ers tended to offset the dull mar
ket inquiry and current offerings
were only about equal to the light
trade requirements. There was no
interest reported, in hops of older
growths. Some moderate activity
developed in the contract market
and a few three-year deals were re
ported consummated at 12c; 13c and
14c per pound, net grower, for the
1P36. 1937 and 1938 crops, respec
tively, according to ;rade reports.
Washington hop markets were ex
tremely quiet during the period un
der review, with no sales by grow
ers reported in either the Yakima
valley or western Washington dis
tricts. Growers in the Yakima val
ley area were reporten asking 9c to
10c for best quality 1035 crop Clus
ters, 8c to 9c for primes, and 6c to
7c for mediums, but dealers were
not interested at these prices.
California hop maikets were In
active during the week ending
March 18. with no sale reported by
growers in the three main produc
ing sections. ,
The New York hou market was
steady as remaining stocks of 1935
hops are not considered burdensome
and selling pressure was lacking on
the part of growers. Most of the
large brokers there have enough
supplies on hand for the near fu
ture and see no necessity for mak
ing further purchase? while hops
are selling at prevailing lfevels.
Imports of foreign hops into the
United States for the five months
period, Sept., 1935, through Janu
ary, 1936, have totaled 2,869,712 lbs.
compared with Imports of 2,525,988
lbs. during the same months a year
earlier, or 343,724 lbs. more import
ed this year than a year ago. De
cember imports this year totaled
854,625 lbs. and January imports
997,497 lbs., compared with 592,618
lbs. imported In December and 669,
525 lbs. January, a year ago.

Benef it Payments of
$10 An Acre Offered to
Farmers by New Plan
Washington, March 21 (U.R) Benefit payments averag
ing $10 an acre were offered farmers today for removal of
30,000,000 acres from intensive cultivation under the new soil
conservation program replacing tne
AAA.
Details of the program, announc
ed by Secretary of Agriculture Hen
ry Wallace, provide expenditure of
$440,000,000. in conserving the na
tion's soil fertility this year, the
first of the two year temporary
program.
"The new program represents a
GIVES EXAMPLE
OF WORKING OF
FARM PROGRAM
Washington, March 21 (P) A
specific example of how the new
soil conservation farm program
would operate on one farm was
outlined today by John B. Huston
an AAA regional director.
The example follows: Midwestern
farmer owns 100 acres. He usually
plants 60 acres of spring wheat; IS
acres of rye; 10 acres of oats and
the remainder in pasture of some
form.
His "soil dep'ting base acreage"
would be those acres usually plant
ed in wheat, rye and oats, a total
of 85 acres.
The AAA says, except in the case
of cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sugar
beets, sugar cane, flax and rice, that
a farmer may not receive a subsidy
payment for shifting more than 16
per cent of his "soil depleting" base
to "soil conserving" crops.
Fifteen per cent of 85 acres would
be 12 acres.
The farmer might elect to shift l'!
acres of wheat land to a soil con
serving crop. (His rye crop already
would be planted at this time.)
Supposing that the farmer had
average yields, he would receive
about $10 an acre foy shifting each
acre of wheat land to a soil con
serving crop.
This would amount to $120.
In addition, he might receive as
much as $1 an acre for planting the
12 acres in a soil conserving crop.
This would raise his payment to
$132.
Finally, if the farmer plowed un
der his rye to improve the soil, he
might receive as much as $1 an acre
for the rye, or $15 for the 15 acres.
The farmer's . payment for "soli
conserving,' under AAA definitions,
would be $120. His payment for "soil
building" would be $12 for a crop
replacing wheat, plus $15 for rye.
The farmer thus would get a to
tal of $147.
LARGEST PAYROLL
MAY QUIT STATE
Portland, Ore., March 21 WP)
Portland faced the loss of the larg
est Individual payroll in Oregon to
day. Harry A. Green, president or the
Doernbecher Furniture company,
ordered the night shift of 450 men
laid off and said the remainder of
the 1,600 employes will be released
gradually. I
The announcement followed a
verdict in municipal court holding
the Doernbecher company guilty of
violating Portlands smoke-density
ordinance. Municipal Judge Donald
E. Long did not levy a penalty.
Green said "We don't want to be
a nuisance to our neighbors so we
will move to another state." He de
clared the furniture business was
too highly competitive to permit In
stallation of a new power plant, and
remarked "We have prided ourselves
on keeping men working during the
depression, but we cannot continue
in the face of this ordinance." The
Doernbecher plant was established
here in 1900 when the company
moved from Chehalls, Wash.
Walter. W. B. May, of the Port
land chamber of commerce, said a
special meeting of the chamber
committee will be held today and
commented "We did everything we
could. It is terrible this had to
happen "
OREGON STUDIES
TO BE COMPILED
Bend, Ore., March 21 (P) C. C.
Fisher, bureau of reclamation en
gineer, headed for Denver today to
compile extensive studies of irriga
tion canal and dam sites in central
Oregon.
Test borings under his direction
in 1934 Indicated that leaks might
occur if a dam were built on the
Deschutes river at the Benham Falls
site. Subsequently he recommended
the Wlklup site for the Deschutes
dam.
Last fall he charted a canal to
carry water from the upper Des
chutes into the Madras country, and
made a soil depth study of north
unit lands ' '
He projected a canal over Crooked
river into Jefferson county.
In the Crooked river area, Fisher's
studies revealed that the post site is
ideal for a reservoir location, water
from which would be taken into the
Ochoco basin from a low diversion
dam near Prineville.

sincere effort both to conserve the
soil in the interests of producers
and consumers and to preserve the
economic gains that farmers have
made during the past three years,"
Wallace said.
Wallace said he believed from an
Immediate point of view that the
new program may not be quite as
effective as "the old one destroyed
by the supreme court," but that
from a long time point of view it
may be "even more constructive."
A soil conserving crop, it was ex
plained, for which the farmer is
paid $10 an acre may be turned
under to qualify as a soil-building
crop, adding the extra $t an acre.
For the purpose of payment
farmers who apply for payments will
have their crops classified as soli
depletion, soil -conserving and soil
building. A fanner may claim payments
only upon 15 per cent of his "base
acreage" the amount he planted in
soil-depleting crops last year. Soil
depleting crops were defined as:
Corn, cotton, tobacco, Irish po
tatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, sugar
cane, sugar beets, cultivated sun
flowers, commercial truck and can
ning crops, melons and strawberries,
peanuts, grain and sweet sorghum
and small grains including wheat.
oats, barley, rye. buckwheat, flax,
emmer, speltz and grain mixtures.
Payments are to be divided be
tween landlord and tenant where
each shares in the crop or its pro
ceeds. Administration will be through
state committees, county and com
munity committees and the AAA.
Every farmer will be eligible to
participate in the new program.
whereas the AAA was restricted to
certain crops. AAA officials esti
mated 80 per cent of farmers would
cooperate.
A base acreage will be established
for each farm. The AAA will estab
lish ratios of soil depleting crop
lands to total farm lands for each
county. Then the county committee
will set up the Individual bases.
WHEAT SHOWS
SOME DECLINE
Chicago, March 21 (Pj Likelihood
of crop benefits by rain or snow
predicted for Kansas and Nebraska
had a bearish effect today on wheat
values.
Something of an offset was com
parative steadiness of wheat quota
tions at Winnipeg. Export sales
there were estimated as totaling
500,000 bushels, not including fur
ther sales of No. 5 northern to Chi
na, marking an aggregate of 10,000
tons of that grade to China from
Canada this week.
Wheat closed easy,- at the same
as yesterday's finish to lowei,
May July 88, corn
down, May 59-59, oats unchanged
to off, and provisions 2 cents to
20 cents up.
Wheat sold down today to a new
low on the . present movement of
prices.
A cent a bushel overnight drop
was quickly witnessed. On top oi
prospects of some drought relief for
domestic winter wheat crops in the
southwest and west, sellers fout.d
incentive in reports that the spring
moisture situation northwest was
exceptionally favorable.
Corn and oats weakened, ignor
ing an official estimate making the
probable Argentine corn crop near
ly 100,000.000 bushels smaller than
last season's record yield.
Provisions reflected signs that ex
port business was in progress.

APPLICATIONS
FOR CROP LOANS
BEING RECEIVED
Applications for emergency crop
loans for 1936 are now being receiv
ed at the county agent's office in
the postofflce building in Salem, by
County Agent Harry L Riches, ac
cording to an announcement by the
local emergency crop loan commit
tee, consisting of Roy Melson, S. H.
Van Trump and D. W Eyre.
The emergency crop loans will bo
made only to farmers who cannot
obtain credit from any other source,
as provided by regulations issued by
the governor of the tarm credit ad
ministration. The money loaned will
be limited to the farmer's immedi
ate and actual cash needs for grow
ing his 1036 crops and in no In
stance may exceed $300 to one far
mer. Fanners are not eligible for em
ergency loans If they can borrow
from an individual, production cre
dit, association, bank or other con
cern. Farmers will also be considered
Ineligible if they have an uppllcu-
tion pending with the re-settlement
administration, have received assist
ance from that organization this
year or are indebted to the re-settlement
administration for an un
paid loan.
As In the past, the security for an
emergency crop loan will consist of
a first lien on the crop financed.
Landlords or others having an inter
est in the crop to be financed will
be required to waive their claims In
favor of a lien to the governor of the
Farm Credit administration until the
emergency crop loan is paid.
Checks in payment of approved
loans will be issued by the Regional
Emergency crop and feed loan office
at Spokane, Washington.
ALLOMNTACT
PROGRAM READY
Corvallis A workable program
putting into effect the soil conser
vation and domestic allotment act
will be ready by Saturday, moulded
out of the recommendations of four
regional conferences, if national of
ficials make the progress they expect
in coordinating the various reports.
Such is the work brought back lo
Oregon by the state college dele
gates to the Salt Lake conference
where for three days representatives
of western agriculture worked to
formulate a proposed program adap
ted to western conditions.
What will be in the final draft of
the working program no one yet
knows, but the western conference
certainly served in this and many
other respects to give the Washing
ton representatives a clear picture
of what agriculture needs In order
to have fair treatment under the act.
Oregon delegates were active on
the nine committees in which most
of the work of the conference was
accomplished. F. L. Ballard, vice di
rector of extension at the college,
served as chairman of the important
committee on proposed organization
for carrying the act into effect. L.
R. Breithaupt, extension economist,
was chairman of the committee on
planning for 1837, am E. L. Potter,
head of the agricultural economics
division, was secretary of the live
stock committee.
