Department of agriculture said today. The deterioration of the late crop In July, the Improvement of demand and prospects of a crop as well as those of 1925 and 1929 combined to offer unusual price opportun ities, the department said. A recent forecast of the depart ment put the Oregon production at 6.880,000 bushels, compared to 5,670, 000 bushels In 1935 and a five-year average of 6,084.000. The United States farm price of 70 cents in the 1935-36 season Is expected to be doubled this year and may go three times above the 47-cent average of 1934-35. On July 15, the average farm price of po tatoes was $1.41 a bushel, compared to I1J7 In June and 51 cents a year ago.

Original lets of HIGHER WAGES ESTABLISHED IN CANNERIES HERE Wage raises by three local can nerlea have been announced and others may follow In line. The wage boost for women Is a jump from 27 "i to 32 S cents an hour and lor men from 32 'i cents to 40 cents an hour. The piece work provision thai at least half the women working on piece work shall make 30 cents an hour will be retained. California Packing corporation Reid. Murdoch & Company and Hunt brothers have posted notices as to the Increases and report here was that Libby, McNeil & Llbby Is doing the same thing in Portland. While there was talk that other canners might take the same steps some were pondering iu feasibility as they stated future sales had been made on a basis of the former wage and also California competition was referred to as another fly in the ointment. The raise was offered voluntarily by the canners based on increased hvlng costs for the workers and al so possibility of higher prices for fruit. While the raise was being extend ed here reports from Washington were to the effect that 250 workers In the Hunt brothers cannery at Puyallup had gone on strike when the concern refused to sign an agreement with the new cannery workivs' union, although the con cern offered wage Increases there, An agreement had been signed by the Washington Packers. Inc., an other large cannery there. It was Indicated that the bulk of the pear pack which would otherwise have been packed at Puyallup will be packed at-the plant here. NO CHANGE BUTTER, EGGS Portland, Ore., Aug. 21 (IP) There were no open changes In egg prices lor the day but values were mixed as were qualities on so-called ex tras. Undertone of the butter market Is weak but there is a general dis position on the part of the trade to uphold values to bolster their spec ulative positions. No change for the day. There Is a good demand, for can taloupes but prices are relatively low for the early movement. Dil lards are generally selling $1.50 with some selections 25c higher. Peach movement is quite brisk with liberal supplies. Tomato market Is 5 to 10c box higher with an extremely good call. Pea market Is quite active for both Seaside and Roads' End offer ings. Price steady. Onion market is firmer. Watermelon trade is slower, es pecially the tee creams. Continuation of Governor Landon From Page 1 of the great Jury of the people. Devoting most of his remarks at stops late yesterday to government, Landon asserted: "We have seen in the last three years more Important measures Jam med through congress without any consideration whatever slapped to gether in hasty fashionthan we have ever seen In any other three year period of our country.H "We need a congress that will not abdicate one of Its most Important functions under the constitution: that is. of consideration and debate." "The way to remedy that situa tion Is to elect a republican con gress" "There are many things that gov ernment should do, but I think we want those things without squan dering our money . ETHIOPIA LACKS MINERAL RICHES 1 London, Aug. 21. (IP There Is no authentic evidence to warrant the view that Ethiopia is a country of vast potential mineral wealth, the Imperial institute reports in a cur rent bulletin. Oold. it Is said, is the most Im portant mineral p.-oduct so far de veloped, the annual output being In the neighborhood of 22.000 ounces. Platinum was discovered last cen tury near Yodo, but the amount present was not eonugh to Justify working the primary rock. Deposits of mica near Harar, exploited by an American company, have scarce ly as yet paid tne cost of extraction. High transport cost checked -the post-war development of potash de posits in the Asm! hII plain, which was discovered In 1911. Referring lo oil deposits, the bul letin stales that while oil accumu lations are possible beneath the Afar plain, the presence of recent erup tive rocks over a wide area suggests that oil-bearing strata are likely to be limited. Coal has been proved at various loca lilies, but only a "brown coal" and "lignite" are usable. PICKINO STARTS Talbot Hop picking of the early fugsles In the Jackson yard, oper ated by William Krebs, started Thursday morning. The early hops will only last a short time and the late hops will be ready to pick about the first of September, Ostes Visiting at tha home of the C. H. McKeea are former neigh bors from Covins.

Business Increases, Production Shorter Portland, Aug. 1 W A sharp in crease In new business but a (ailing oft in production appeared in the western pine industry in the past week, a weekly review of the West ern Pine association showed today. While orders leaped ahead to 15. 242.000 board feet against 67.647.000 a week ago and 41.626,000 for the same week a year ago. production slumped to 76.851.000 feet against 76.997.000 a week ago and 72312,000 for the same week a year ago. It was the first decline in pro duction In some weeks. HOP YARDS SHY OF PICKERS AS SEASON OPENS A shortage of pickers Is said to be still facing the larger hopyards al though with prospective shutdown of WPA work to assist In harvest ing of the crop it is expected the labor situation may change as the heavy demand for pickers comes on with advent of late cluster picking. As a sample of the situation the Livesley Lakebrook yard where pick ing Is expected to start next Tues day will need 1200 pickers and 950 are registered. This Is said to be about proportionate to the situation in the other large yards. At the Livesley yard fuggle pick ing starts Tuesday, a little later than the average yaro as the plan Is to work right through when pick ing starts. Early clusters in this yard are expected to start about alcng with the lates. Report was had today that Ray has bought 75 bales of the 1935 crop at 30 cents and 22 bales of me' diums at 26 cents, also from the 1935 crop. No new contracts are re ported and otherwise the situation In the spot market remains quiet with probably 7500 bales of last year's crop still left unsold in the state. Report received today advised that beer sales in July of this year ag grevated 6.808.934 barrels as com pared to 5.611.365 during July of 1935, or 1,197,469 more barrels sold this year, an Increase of 21.3. This in itself, dealers said, indicated one of the strong and very valid reasons for a rising hop market. Clyde Livesley who arrived in the city with his family from Yakima yesterday afternoon for a visit said that picking Is just getting under wav there. Hushes being ready to start in early clusters yesterday. He says there has been some spider in the Yakima yards but not ser ious and downy mildew has done no damage. LIVESTOCK OFFERED TO CLUB EXHIBITORS Corvallls, Ore., Aug. 21 Pi The Oregon 4-H club said today twelve purebred head of livestock, includ ing four hogs, five lambs and three dairy calves, will be awarded to the outstanding boy and girl club mem ber exhibiting the various breeds at the Oregon State fair September 7- 13. The animals will be awarded by prominent breeders and breed asso ciations as'a means of encouraging the young farmers in the use of high quality animals. They are known as "specials" and are in ad dition to the numerous other prizes offered. Continuation of Liberal Leaders From Page 1 Coughlln's National Union for So cial Justice which has endorsed the union party ticket, was made this week by Olson. He telegraphed Senator Robert M. LaPollette, (Prog., Wis.), co-sponsor of the pro gressive conference, that the 1936 choice lay between Mr. Roosevelt and Governor Landon. He insisted "liberals must unite in 1937 to re elect Franklin Roosevelt." "If we liberals." he continued, "by splitting our vote place Landon In office we will have performed an act for which we never will be for given." Olson will not be present at the Chicago meeting but the LaFollette brothers. Senator Robert and Gov ernor Phil, are expected to pledge the Wisconsin progressive organiza tion to the new deal. This alliance, with Mr. Roosevelt however, will not extend much be yond November.

Dun & Bradstreet said today in Its trade review of the week. Consumer buying assurrred a more leisurely pace, the agency said, the hot weather making for less Inter est in fall merchandise, but remain ing stocks of summer items moved out rapiqly. Wholesale volume was about the same as in the preceding week with more attention devoted to higher priced items. With the unexpected rebound of industrial operations, some of the heavy goods divisions were near the high rate for the year, the review said. "Record high temperatures in some districts, as the heat wave worked Its way across the country. reduced distribution at most cities by 3 to 8 per cent for the week." the review said. "This shortened the es timated increase of retail sales to 10 to 12 per cent over the corres ponding 1935 volume, taking the country as a whole." The rise from last year's total in the New England states was 8 to 12 per cent; in the east sales aver aged 12 to 15 per cent above a year ago; retail volume in the. mid-west ranged from 10 to 20 per cent high er than in 1935, while the Increase In the south and southwest was 20 to 25 per cent.

The association said the lumber industry was protesting through it the proposed increase in the east bound freight rate from $12.50 per thousand board feet of lumber to $13.00.

Aug. 21 (IP) Record breaking shipments of corn report ed on the way to the United States from the Argentine generated sell ing of all corn futures today on the Chicago board of trade. At the close corn was off 1 to I1!. Sept. 1.12'. wheat was unchanged to up . Sept. tl.13'.; oats were off U to S. Sept. 4314 cents. Reports were that preparations are being made to handle the larg est volume of imported corn on rec ord, and a heavy selling movement resulted in the corn pit. The lower trend was accelerated by good rams over-night In Iowa. September and May futures led the Initial setback. Commission houses were prominent sellers. Trading In new crop futures was rather small but . relatively wide fluctuations were In evidence In September. Reports that 2.250.000 bushels of corn were shipped to the United States from the Argentine this week confirmed fears that for eign corn will be available in inter ior markets and placed additional pressure on the futures. Wheat prices rallied alter an ear ly setback in response to the upturn in Minneapolis.

The failure of Winnipeg and Kansas City to re flect the rally here was a depress ing factor. Oats displayed an easy tone in a relatively quiet market. Rye prices fluttered within a narrow range. ORDER HEARING ON SATIN MOTH Washington, Aug. 21 (Pi The de partment of agriculture today called a public hearing for scptemDer 14 to consider the advisability of revis ing the domestic satin moth quaran tine. In the event of a decision against adding Oregon, department officials said they would consider revoking the quarantine since they believed It would be ineffective unless It In duced all infested territory. "Rcently the Insect was discovered In Oregon." a department announce ment said. "It appears necessary, therefore, either to revoke the quar antine or to Include Oregon in the quarantine now governing the other infested states." The satin moth, the department said, has been known to exist for several years in some areas ot Con necticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampsire. Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. The quarantine applying to those areas prohibits the movement from infested areas of poplar and willow trees or parts of these trees capable of propagation. PRUNE DIVISION PROGRAM PUZZLES Washington, Aug. 21 AV-Diffi culty in determining the tonnage to be included in a proposed sub standard prune diversion program for the Pacific coast was reported by farm officials. With estimates of the sub-stand ard fruits in this year's prospective crop of 189.000 tons running as high as ten per cent, general crops sec tion experts were "finding it con siderable of a struggle" to deter mine the tonnage to be diverted to by-products channels. "We do not expect a decision now before next week," a spokesman said. Earlier In the week H. C. Dunlay, president of the California Prune and Apricot Growers association. had indicated California growers would harvest a crop of 156.000 tons this season, with Oretton and Wash ington growers contributing an ad ditional 33.000 tons. Slightly more than 10.000 tons of substandard prunes were diverted by by-products uses last year, but they were of the 1634 crop. RIGHT VLVS Proof cotmitw 20 Fit Yur Otd O D.
