tire list in amount of transactions.
All the other motors were bid up.
Motor accessories firmed.
Strength in the automobile group
bolstered the entire market when
It was running into a decline on
profit-taking. Today's was the litn
rise in 13 sessions and some opera
tors were anticipating technical
settling.
Copper shares met profit-taking
when leading producers under the
lead of Phelps Dodge raised the do
mestic price of copper by U cent to
9 cents a pound. The copper list,
however, resumed its rise when the
automobile shares soared. Anacon
da and Kennecott made new highs
for the year. The smelting company
issues were especially strong with
U. 8. smelting up more than 2
points.

dull. Allied failed to appear until
near the close and then It was
steady. Monsanto on a few sales
rose more than 3 points.

In the farm group on short cover
ing. Mall order Issues were steady to
firm.

mand on talk of heavy utility com
pany expansion. Westlnghouse Elec

its high since 1930. General Elec
trie made a new top at 42 '4 up VA
points. New highs were made by ah
reduction. Coca Cola, Commercial
Credit, Kennecott, Southern Pacific,
Louisville and Nashville, and Texas

special aesslon of the exchange
Tuesday morning the advance of
cube extras one half cent during
the previous session was eliminated.

desirable stuff. Only nominal ship
ments in as yet from Yakima.
Defuzzed Elberta peaches are be
ing offered from California.
A pear shipping holiday In Cali
fornia is keeping down shipments
of Bartletts.
Watermelons are sharply higher
as a result of very hot weather in
the south. Two cents generally
here.
Banana prices are being openly
slashed here as a result of a light
between two major distributing con
cerns for the control of the busi
ness. Yakima tomatoes are now being
received which has somewhat in
creased local stock but prices are
held steady all around.

steady to firm elsewhere.

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.

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.
Corn prices held a strong tone
throughout the session. Bullish
weather and crop conditions In the
corn belt formed the background for
the bullish trend. Oats held about
steady in a featureless market. Rye
moved within a narrow range in
quiet trading.
CANNERY WILL HAVE
FINE EQUIPMENT
Silverton The local cannery Is
undergoing remodeling painting and
the installation of a number of
pieces of new machinery.
A night and day shift is being
planned with the placing of a bean
snipper as the season opens which
promises a saving of cent-and-a-half
per pound over the expense of
handling beans by the hand meth
od.
The new cook room Is being re
painted and has two large retorts.
FOREIGN WALNUT
CROP BELOW 1935
The estimated production of Eur
opean walnuts this year, according
to the latest statement from U. S.
Agricultural Attache Nielsen at
Paris, indicates a total of 1,505.000
bags (110 pounds each), as reported
in the California Fruit News. This
may be compared with 1.613.000
bags produced in 1935. The fig
ures Include Italy. France, the Bal
kan countries and Turkey and both
table and shelling varieties. The
Balkan countries total a large pro
duction of walnuts this year, with
Turkey the same as last and France
and Italy each less. The report
states that Germany should absorb
the bulk of the Increase of the ex
pected surplus from the Danube
basin. This, Mr. Nielsen sayt, would
leave less European table walnuts
available for the English and other
western European markets, thus In
dicating that the demand for Amer
ican table walnuts will be just as
good and probably better than last
year.
Two Million Pounds
1936 Wool Not Sold
Portland. July 21 () A market
survey Indicated today that about
3.000.000 pounds of the total 1936
clip of Oregon. Idaho and Wash
ington wool remains unsold, a large
part of It being stored here. The
wool presumably is being held In
the expectation that a rather good
market will follow the present sum
mer dullness.

California Cherry
Crop Exceeds 1935
The California cherry harvest
finished during June, the prellmuv
try estimate of production of this
crop standing at 20.200 tons, as com.
pared with 15.000 tons produced in
1935, 16.700 In 1934, 24.900 in 1933
and 18.500 tons In 1932. according
to figures In the current Issue of
the California Fruit News. Rains
which occurred during late May and
the early daya of June damaged un

Important reduction of the total
crop harvested. Records show that
790 cars were shipped.
CODLING MOTH
SPRAYING TIME
County Agent Harry L. Riches
announces that apple and pear
growers in Marion county should
apply the third cover spray now for
the control of codling moth. Sec
ond brood moths have been emerg
ing for the past two or three days
and a considerable number of eggs
have been laid. Under ordinary
Willamette valley weather condi
tions, these eggs will hatch In seven
or eight days. The spray should
be applied before these eggs hatch.
The recommended spray Is pow
dered lead arsenate used at the rate
of 3 pounds to 10 gallons of water.
In orchards where codling moth is
not a serious problem, two pounds
of powdered lead arsenate to 100
gallons of water is sufficient to give
control.
Calcium arsenate, used at the rate
of 8 pounds powdered calcium ar
senate to 100 gallons of water, has
also been used successfully In this
vicinity for codling moth control.
Thoroughness of application Is es
sential In codling moth control, says
Mr. Riches. The foliage as well as
the entire surface of every apple and
pear should be thoroughly covered
with the spray solution if worm In
jury Is to be prevented. Special
care should be taken in spraying
the upper portion of the tree, as
more than half of the codling moth
eggs are laid In the upper third of
the tree.
COPPER MARKET
SHOWS ADVANCE
New York. July 21 Leading
producers today advanced the do
mestic price of copper to 9 cents
a pound from the 9'4 cent level
which has been in effect since Feb
ruary. This is the highest level for cop
per since 1931 both for domestic and
foreign metal.
Today's advance was foreshadowed
by a large increase in demand start
ing last Friday. For the past fort
night the foreign market has been
exceptionally active at rising prices.
The mark-up was initiated by
Phelps-Dodge Corp., one of the larg
est producers. Some other leading
companies continued at the 9'i cent
level, but It was understood that
they would advance to 9 cents to
morrow. Anaconda Copper Mining Co.. also
lifted its price to 9- cents. This
company with Phelps-Dodge led the
field last February with the rise to
9H cents from 9'i cents. Certain
other producers did not meet the ad
vance until April.
Conforming to the higher basis
for refined copper fabricating com
panies advanced prices for wire and
kindred products. Anaconda Wire
& Cable Co., subsidiaries of Ana
conda Copper announced a rise of
M cent on bare and magnet wire.
GLADIOLUS GRADES
RECEIVE APPROVAL
Fnllowlnar hearings held at Grants
Pass and Portland ' the state de
partment of agriculture reported
today the approval of 10 different
grades for gladiolus bulbs.
The large or top grade wul be
known as Oregon Jumbos, which
must be 2 Inches In diameter, Frank
McKennon, head of the plant divi
sion, who stated the quality In the
higher grades were the same, the
differences being accounted for by
size.
Other grades by numbers, all
preceded by the term "Oregon" are
No. 1, l' Inches In diameter, and
one-quarter less for each number
to 7. which Is of an inch In di
ameter. In addition there will be
the Oregon mixed, the same quality
as the jumbos except as to size,
and the unclassified as the bottom
grade.
These grades have met the ap
proval of a majority of the bulb
growers, McKennon said.
Prunes Up Quarter
Cent in California
Prunes are up V, cent right
through the list and with the short
est crop of prunes in California for
some years before us. old crop!
prunes are bound to advance from
the very low price at which they
have been quoted for so long, says
the California Fruit News. This
year's prune crop In California will
undoubtedly show the smallest out
put in the last ten years, except the
frost damage year of 1928. Pacific
northwest prunes also have been
marked up this week by some quot
ers H cent In several of the sties.

RED SPIDERS
DAMAGE HOPS
A dispatch from Portland to the
effect that hot weather stemming
the downy mildew tide will add
from 8.000 to 10,000 bales to the hop
crop estimate for the state is more
or less discounted by hop men here.
As an Instance, Bud Stutesman,
well known hop man, stated today
that mold was found yesterday In
some early clusters; that because
of downy mildew berries are be
ginning to turn brown on early
clusters and have shrunk to half the
normal size.
In the uncultivated yards he de
clared as an added menace to tht
crop red spider Is developing rap
idly and this scourge, he asserts,
will more than offset any benefits
from the heat to the downy mildew
attacks.
He declares that a 40.000 bale crorfL,
is the outside estimate that can be f
considered for the 1936 crop.
There was also a report today
that offers of 40 and 45 cents de
livered in the east have been made
for hops from the 1935 crop, which
at a nickel less out here would mean
from 35 to 40 cents a pound tor
1935 hops.
No sales were TeDorted and grow
ers are said to be holding firm on
their 1935 hops.
FULLER PLACE SOLD
Silverton The W. E. Fullers have
