Carrot Pack
Started by Jory
The Jory Packing company at
Liberty started a carrot pack yes
terday which It la expected will last
lor about three weeks. The pack will
not be overly large, from 8,000 to
10,000 cases, will be put up In Nos.
2's and 10's, the carrots being diced.
The carrots are coming from the
sandy bottoms in the Jefferson dis
trict and are reported of fine qual
ity. The Jory Packing company this
year completed one of the most In.
teresting vegetable packs yet at
tempted here In the shape of frozen
beans and com now In storage at
the Terminal Ice & storage com
pany and ready for shipment to the
east where It already has been sold.
Roland Jory, manager of the can
nery, believes that the vegetable
pack Is destined to be the main pro
duction In this section and In a few
years will eclipse the fruit pack
which now leads the field by a heavy
margin.
Just ' such packs as the one put
up at his plant this year, however,
Is the forerunner of what can be done
with vegetables In this section and
the demand Indicates that the pro
duction could go to great limits.
The pack in question Is a frozen
pack of Blue Lake beans secured
from the Clear-Hill Co-operative at
West Stayton and of Golden Cross
corn coming mainly from patches
grown by Alderman ec Son near
Dayton and Jake Gllmore and Char
ley Hunt near Jefferson.
Both beans and corn are packed
In cardboard cartons, the beans and
corn being frozen solid and main.
tained In that condition until ready
for use. The corn pack In the main
Is made up of whole kernels cut from
the cob although some of the com
was packed directly on the cob. The
resultant pack is something very
pretty to look at and very edible
when prepared, and what is of more
importance to this section, very at
tractive to buyers and consumers.
'I look for this form of pack to
be one of the most Important in this
section," stated Jory, and many
others who keep In close touch with
food production developments here
agree with him.

Predict Increase
In Lamb Crop
Washington, Oct. 21 (AV-The
agriculture department forecast to
day an Increase in market supplies
of fed lambs and a decrease m
prices for the - season. December
through April. ,
The report predicted;.
Corn belt states will increase the
number of lambs fed this fall and
winter to more than offset a de
crease In western states. -
The price of slaughter lambs In
December probably will be higher
than a year earlier, but the season.
al advance from January to April
will be less than for the same
months this year. v
A probable weaker demand for
meats and wools will lower the av.
erage price for the coming season,
compared with last season.
Total supplies of sheep and
lambs for the December-April per.
iod will be no larger than In 1938'
37.
The report said lamb prices
strengthened early-this month aft'
er a decline in September, with
prices at Chicago for the week
ending October 16, 81.50 a hundred
weight higher than a year earlier.

Test of Corn
Aurora Over 100 Clackamas
county farmers viewed the results
of a com variety trial on the Phil
Wlegand farm near Aurora Sunday
and Monday. The farmers were ful
ly conovlnced that hybrid corn will
play an important part In Willam
ette valley agriculture.
Under direction of Clackamas
County Agent J. J. Inskeep, more
than 50 varieties of corn. Including
local, were planted in separate
tracts on the Wiegand farm, to car
ry out further a similar trial made
last year. Last week the com was
harvested and the results tabulated.
The hybrid varieties mature ear
Her, the stalks stand better, the fo
liage greener, when the com Is ma
ture, and more silage-Is produced
than on the open-pollinated varie
ties, the trials show.
All of the hybrid varieties pro
duced more than 60 pounds of com
per 25 hills.
Cora from the W. H. Jackson
farm, Canby, was the leading local
variety. This com produced 63.5
pounds on 25 hills.
The corn from each variety will
be dried, weighed and re-checked
before definite results of the test
are announced.

Italy Thanked
By Eden for
Co-operation
(Continued from pas 1)
ranean route to bar colonies).
The foreign secretary declared
both Italy and Germany had "sub
stantially modified their views" on
the relation of withdrawal of vol
unteers from Spain and the grant
ing of belligerent rights to the
Spanish combatants.
He added the Italians had pro
posed the "acceptable plan" for de
ciding on the proportions of with
drawal of foreign volunteers from
either army on thegbasls of figures
to be submitted by a commission
to be sent to Spain.
Turning to the far eastern situ
ation, Eden pledged Britain's de
termination to "do everything" In Its
power to Insure success" of the Nov.
30 nine-power conference in Brus
sels which will attempt to mediate
the Chinese-Japanese war. He said
Italy would send a delegation and
that French Foreign Minister Won
Delbos would represent France.
Eden said British rearmament had
no "overt or latent strains of re
venge, either in the Mediterranean
or anywhere else," but he added:
'Our position In the Mediterran
ean Is simply this we mean to
maintain the right of way on this
main arterial road. We are Justi
fied In expecting such a right of
way should be unchallenged.
We have never asked and we do
not ask today that the right of
way should be exclusive."
Then he promised "our whole
hearted cooperation" In the gen
eral Mediterranean friendship
scheme "on condition this problem
of non-intervention In Spain Is
resolved."
Sheep Nomads
Out of Luck
Bums, Oct. 21 VP) F. R. Carpen
ter of Washington, D. C, Taylor
grazing act administrator, told 400
eastern Oregon stockmen yesterday
"nomad" sheepmen will receive no
recognition.
Carpenter, who described the no
mad as a "man with a band of
sheep and a frying pan," added:
"There Is no longer a place for
such operators in American agricul
ture. They are on the way out and
the sooner they understand It. the
better it will be for all concerned."
The rangemen favored the adop
tion of permanent rules to govern
long time permits under the act on
federally-owned range lands. RegU'
latlons adopted In other sections
were discussed by Carpenter und
Theodore A. Walters, first assistant
secretary of the Interior,
Those attending included Walter

trict congressman, former U. S
Senator Robert N. -Stanfleld, and
representatives of the forest service

Time to Buy
BabsonSays
London, Oct. 21 (U.R Now Is the
time to purchase selected American
equities, war or no war, Roger W.
Babson, noted American economist,
advised British Investors yesterday.
In a message in the financial news
he warned British investors not to be
panicky regarding the United States
provided they own their shares out
right in companies that have not
been attacked by labor difficulties
which he termed "Lewlsly."
"I am very glad to see this break
because labor has become most un
ruly," Babson said, "on the assump
tion that there were no limits to pro
fits while labor leaders themselves
were gambling in the stock market
and even employes felt that Wall
street was a one-way street with
stocks going up.
"This bear Is bringing everyone to
his senses and should be most bene
ficial to actual owners of American
Industrials. With exception of four
railroads, rail shares are the most
vulnerable and the least attractive.
"The most attractive Issues are
chemicals and oils with motors about
half way. ... In fact It would not
be surprising if motors do not return
to their former highs. But I believe
that chemicals, oils and some steels
will see higher prices next year than
this.
"English Investors must not forget
that the whole world Is headed for
Inflation which should materially
benefit companies owning large na
tural resources."
