ROTON WOOL Boston. July 21 "U.81 Buyer for mills and topmakers were making in quiries for wools in Boston but their rurehsses were very light because bids were mostly below general asking prices, the US AD. reported todsy. A little fine territory in original bags was sold around 8283c scoured bsis lor wools described as Just average SEED GROWERS TO ENCOURAGE NEW CROPS HERE While the newly organized Ore gon Seed Growers association as a marketing setup will handle winter cover crop seeds and other estab lished crops of the valley, it will not use all of Its time in that re spect but also is much interested In bringing new crops to the valley and getting them established, says a statement Issued by the associa tion. Henry Zorn, Aurora, route 1, is president of the organization: J. W. Hamlin, Corvallls, vice-president; Oilmore Hector, Albany, secretary-treasurer and Otto Fowler. Corvallis, manager. The offices are at Corvallls. The statement from the organiza tion says that even now negotiations are under way with eastern people for getting contracts which may place new vegetable seed production in the valley and it Is expected that vegetable seed production which has been carried on profitably here will be worked up into large scale busi ness. The association expects to act not only as a marketing service but a bureau of Information for the grower. The association Is grower owned and grower controlled, says the statement. The Willamette valley thia year will produce approximately 30.000,000 pounds of combined tonnage of Austrian winter field peas, hairy vetch and Hungarian and common vetch. These are principally used in the southern states to grow green cover crops used as fertilizers. The manager of the association says that he found on a recent trip through the southern states that the southern farmer does not com plain about paying a fair price for the seeds but he must be assured of getting them at a fair average price. Plenty of such seeds are available from Europe, he says, and only the tariff gives Oregon growers an as surance of a fair, satisfactory price. PRUNE CONTROL BOARD ELECTING The new Oregon Prune Control Board. Inc.. will elect Its officers and directors at district meetinRS starting tomorrow night with the. first election held at Newberg. Sa lem district vote will be. had at a meeting at the chamber of com merce Thursday night with the Dal las meeting Friday. Albany and Forest Orove Saturday. A report will be made at Thurs day's meeting here on the status of the prune agreement sign-up, states A. M. Chapman, who has had an active hand In organizing the new board. The old prune control board went out of existence when the state su preme court declared unconstitu tional the act under which It was organized. The new set-up Is being perfected as a voluntary organiza tion and voluntary signatures have been received over a period cover ing the past few months with meetings held in various districts. GOOD HONEY CROP HELD IN PROSPECT Portland. July 21 (PI A "good ho ney crop'' is in prospect for Oregon if weather conditions remain favor able, market reports here said today. Colonies west of the Cascades were described as in ''excellent condition" although substantial lainfall kept down the honey flow and starved some bees. The quality of Willamette valley honey will be considerably above the 1935 crops, reports said, despite the fact that near Portland the crop from berries was nearly a failure be cause of ram. New seedlngs of aJalfa In the Umatilla valley have materially aid ed bees and a normal crop Is expect ed. Tourists visiting Austria In the last fiscal year totaled 3.255.207. Fr.nch combing length.

(Asso dated Prat Phetoa) Farmers Kept Busy With Season Crops Broadacres Haying is claiming the attention of most of the farm ers. Gardens are unusually good. The berry season Is over with more or less favorable, reports from growers. Hops that were all but abandoned are- being sprayed and receiving more careful attention due to the attractive prices quoted at this time. Will Brown sprayed his Broadacres and West Woodburn yards the past week. Corn In most fields looks good, also late potatoes. 12,500 WALUNT GROWERS PA ID Payments to 12,500 walnut grow ers of California, Oregon and Washington, touting 5 15.000 are being made by the Walnut control board from Its office In Los Ange les. Individual checks are being mailed directly to growers, cover ing 2 .cents on each pound of sur plus merchantable walnuts credited to individual growers by the board. according to a statement issued from the AAA offices at Berkeley, Calif. Under the AAA marketing agree ment and order for walnuts of the Pacific coast, packers are required to deliver 30 per cent of the 1935-36 merchantable supply to the walnut control board for diversion to ex port and shelling, for protection of the domestic market. The current distribution Is based on such de liveries. These payments are being made to all growers whose contributions to the surplus pool could be defi nitely ascertained from the records of packers who complied with the agreement and order by delivering surplus walnuts to the board In the required manner. Additional pay ments will be made later in the year, reaching a total possible max imum of 9 cents per pound on the surplus. Payments cannot accrue to grow ers who sold their 1935 crop wal nuts to itinerant field buyers now unable to make a sworn accounting of surplus creditable to individual growers, or to growers who sold to packers violating the order or oth erwise falling to deliver surplus walnuts to the board. In such cases the control board and the govern ment lack the Individual records and the actual surplus walnuts upon which to base diversion pay ments. Industry leaders are now submit ting a formal request to the secre tary of agriculture for a similar al location of diversion funds to cover the impending 1936-crop surplus.

CHERRY HARVEST STARTS Silverton Fifty pickers are at the Keenewood ranch taking care of the Montmorency cherry harvest which Is in full sway. The recent heavy hall that occurred during the latter part of June did some damage to the cherries but the ma jority of the yield Is excellent. The F. Glenn McDonalds manage the ranch at Keenewood. GRAZING LAND PROGRAM FOR SOIL BENEFITS Washington. July 31 Iffy-The AAA. officials said today, hopes to submit to ranchers a soil conser vation program for the vast grazing landa of the west. Work Is under way on a tentative plan and officials say they desire to have a program adopted by this fall so ranchers will have time dur ing the winter to adjust their graz ing areas. Two major moves are being studied by the planners: 1. To ar range for ranchers to Increase their supplemental feed crops to relieve the drain upon pasture lands; 2. To encourage ranchers to begin grazing livestock later In the spring than at present and to take the livestock off the range earlier in the fall to conserve the grass. The plan. It is understood, does not contemplate calling upon cat tle and sheep raisers to reduce the number of their livestock. It Is be lieved increases in supplemental feed crops will go far toward con serving the grazing lands. Partici pation in the program would be voluntary, with the government of fering as an inducement certain cash payments to those planting feed crops. No specific figures on these payments are being made public yet. In working out their plan. AAA officials have been assisted by records of the forest service as to the various areas of grazing land and the number of livestock on these ranges. On the basis of the records the AAA men will seek to determine the number of livestock which should graze In these areas and the amount of supplemental feeding that should be undertaken by the ranchers. SLIGHT MOVES IN WHEAT PRICE Chicago, July 21 (IP) Wheat pri ces moved within a narrow range today on the Chicago board of trade. At the close wheat was up to 3t, July 1.04'.3 cents, corn was up 3 to 4. July 91 cents, and oats were unchanged to. up July .36 cents. The market was purely a weather affair. Reports of little or no mois ture In the Canadian spring wheat territory overnight generated a moderate buying movement in early trade. A break In the Winnipeg wheat market in the latter part of the session resulted in a decline in prices here from the early high lev els. Hedge selling and the unsteady tone In the Winnipeg market were depressing factors. Speculative in terests were Inclined to favor the buying side in early trade.
