checks was pushed through the gov

to farmers before the end of the
month. They" represent only about
two per cent of the total payments
to be made under the $470,000,000

WORLD WILL
HEAR MORE OF
OREGON PRUNE
Another step toward the adver
tising of Oregon prunes was taken
last week when growers' represen
tatives and packers met together in
Portland and made verbal agree
ment on basic phases in the pro
posed plan. Formal confirmation
papers are now being prepared to
ratify these verbal agreements and
observers look forward to appearance
of advertising on Oregon prunes in
selected markets during the com
ing winter in time to aid in mar
keting the 1936 crop.
The Portland meeting was the last
one to date in a scries held during
the summer and early this fall. Ted
F. Mankartz, of Salem, was named
by local growers to represent Mar
lon county, and J. G. Hogg, RFD
No. 3, Salem, to represent Polk
county. Similar growers' gatherings
in other counties also named repre
sentatives to confer with packers on
ways and means of regaining lost
markets for Oregon prunes.
The growers' committee thus nam
ed and composed of all representa
tives from the principal prune
growing counties of Oregon and
Washington, will incorporate as
"Oregon Prunes. Incorporated," to
receive funds from prune growers
through the packers and "to disburse
said funds to promote consumption
of Oregon prunes through adver
tising, research, or by any other
means."
Packers represented at the meet
ing predicted that all members of
their group would fall in line to
act as collection agencies, deducting
$1 a ton from payments to growers,
thus creating the fund for an ad
vertising campaign. This rate was
arrived at by the growers' commit
tee as being equitable for all sizes.
Agreements for collection of funds
will be made by the packers between
themselves and with Oregon Prunes,
Inc., thus assuring that every man
who markets prunes will contribute.
Money raised will be turned over
to the new corporation, according
to the plans, and this group, made
up entirely of growers, would as
sume responsibility for effective ex
penditures. Members of the industry present
last week were: For the growers
C. L. Firestone of Clark county.

county, Oregon, Glenn Riddle of

Jones & Co.. reports an increased
velocity of turnover of bank funds

WHEAT PRICE
SHOWS PAINS
Chicago, Oct. 21 (IP Weakness
in Buenos Aires again provided
a lead for wheat prices on the Chi
cago board of trade today. The locai
market ran up for net gains of a
cent a bushel in the eaily part of
the session of buying that wis more
active than in recent seions, but
reacted later. Outside participation
in the market was hcav.tr.
At the close wheat was unchang
ed to up ts, Decembei Si.M'a a
bushel; corn was off ' to up
December 93 cents a bushel; oats
were to ' higher, December 40
cents.
Strength in Liverpool and firm
ness at Winnipeg induced buying in
the first two hours here. The Brit
ish market closed to l'ac higher
in response to reports of frost in
Argentina but this influence was
offset by cables which showed a
break at Buenos Aires. Selling pres
sure increased here towards the
close and all of the early gains were
erased.
Increase in outside interest In tht
local market was attributed by grain
traders partly to the reduction in
margin requirements on grain fu
tures put into effect today. Some
traders believed yesterday's heavy
milling demand for cash wheat, in
dicating a revival of flour business,
also drew speculators into thirty's
market.
Corn prices advanced along with
wheat early but reacted. Wet weath
er which has delayed the gathering
of the new crop induced a fair
amount of buyin?. .This support,
however, dried up later.
Soy beans scored a sharp gain in
response to unfavorable weather re
ports and managed to hold on to a
large part of the advance at the
close. Oats and rye were steady to a
shpde riigher for the day.
Thompson and McKinnon. in a
review of the world wheat situation
predicted a shortace of 22.000.000

EASTERN OREGON
IN NEED OF RAIN
The Dalles, Oct. 21 (Contin
ued lack of rainfall in eastern Ore
gon is making planting conditions
for wheat growers desperate, gram
buyers and ranchers said today.
Thus far this fall, precipitation
has been Insufficient for seeding.
with the result that almost the en
tire district has been torccd to de
lay autumn planting. Some seeding
has been done "in the dust," as
ranchers put it, but most growers
have held off in hope of rain.
The danger lies in the fact that
wheat, if seeded too late in the fall,
docs not grow much before the cold
of winter sets in, growers pointed
out. Thus tender grain, unless pro
tected by a blanket of snow, is
quickly frozen out.
Unless substantial rainfall occurs
shortly, eastern Oregon will be forc
ed to plant a tremendous acreage
of spring wheat always a hazard
ous undertaking in this region, or
risk a winter kill, growers said.

FORMER BROOKS
PRIEST CALLED
PLANT WIZARD
The current Issue of American
Magazine contains, in its Interest
ing People department, a picture
and sketch of Father Schoener,
priest who once lived at Brooks and
who even then was widely known
as a plant wizard.
He suflered a severe loss by fire rr
at Brooks about 20 years ago when r
his gardens were damaged and
much of his seed and plants des
troyed. Shortly after that he mov
ed to Portland and later to Cali
fornia where he now carries on his
studies and investigations at San
ta Barbara.
The American says of him:
"In Father Schoeners garden in
Santa Barbara, Calif., roses are red
and roses are blue, and sugar peas
grow six feet high. Apples taste
like oranges, and plums come four
to a pound. Father Schoener, one
of the world's greatest plant wiz
ards, is called the successor to Lu
ther Burbank. In youth he collect
ed and classified plant specimens.
When he ran out of plants, he began
to invent new ones. His "little
coal-black rose" is the 256th new
rose variety he has developed. It
is named for the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who collected
$150,000 to establish the padre at
Santa Barbara a few years ago
when his work at Brooks, Ore., was
destroyed by fire. Now Fathcf
Schoener makes California soil pro
duce giant rose trees, September
cherries, gritless quince-pears, and 7
gold medals. He has developed so
many different kinds of roses
evergreen, thorn less, green, and
even edible that he is known as El
Padre de las Rosas the Father of
Roses."
