Rogue River Peaches Bring High Price Medford, Sept, 21 WV-Three car loads of Rogue River valley Hale variety peaches sold this week on the San Francisco market at 11.16 per box, the Bear Creek orchards (Rosenberg brothers) shippers, have been notified. It was reported the highest price paid for Rogue river peaches m ten years. The peaches were grown In the Eugene Thorndlke, O. E, pierce and Ashland district orchards. Some Deliveries Of Filberts Made Lebanon Although some filbert deliveries have been made to the Lebanon nut plant, deliveries In any substantial volume are not ex pected for another day or so, re ports E. B. Bdes, manager of the Lebanon Nut Orowers. Edes said that this year's yield, from all Indications, will be two- thirds of that of last year. On the other hand, the nuts are for the most part larger and should grade better, he added. While the price Is about a cent higher for all grades of nuts than last year, the reduced yield still will make a smaller return for growers, Edes believed. The local plant, which Is plan ning to start drier and grading op erations within a few days, will re ceive Its greatest number of de liveries next week.

Cost Studied on Fiber Flax Show Industry Status Oregon noer flax (rowers are using modern and efficient methods of production and have been grow. Ing their flax for somewhat less than past average prices. Future de velopment of the Industry, however. depends largely on cost of process' ing. wnicn Is now just as vital to growers as cost of original produc tlon. These are soma of the facts brought out In a bulletin Just Issued by the agricultural experiment ata tlon at 06C, entitled "Cost and Efficiency In Fiber Flax Production In the Willamette Valley. Oregon." This bulletin, by O. W. Kuhlman of the state college staff, and B. B Robinson, federal flax specialist. Is one of a series of cost of production studied dealing with Oregon farm products, carried out by the depart ment of farm management. The conclusions reached confirm the wisdom of the recent move to in vestigate processing methods with the idea of Improving the efficiency or this phase of the fiber flax In dustry. The study was carried on by making actual records of farm op erations on 239 farms In Clackamas. Marion. Linn, Lane and Yamhill counties. Study of the data gath ered led the Investigators to the following conclusions: 1. Further reductions In the cost of production are not to be expected In the near future, save for some possible improvement in harvesting machinery. The best methods of growing known to the Industry are generally practiced. 2. Present costs of production are about the same as prices that have been paid by the state flax Industry. Costs during the years of the study averaged 117.50 a ton, compared with an average selling price of 132.81 a ton, exclusive of federal subsidies. Adjusting for longer periods, how ever, It was estimated that average costs since 1931 have been about $21.83 a ton, compared with an average selling price over the same period of $21.54. These data indi cated that flax has paid the grower for his labor and the use of his land, but not much more. 3. An unusually large amount of cost of production Is for hired labor or other contract work. 4. The future of the flax Industry and Its ability to compete with foreign flax and. with other fibers largely hinges on the cost of pro cessing. In the past the state flax industry has cared for the processing, but with the necessary shift to co operative plants, members will be obliged to assume the risks of pro cessing as well as growing. Large Increases in flax production are not expected until processing costs are lowered. President Asked To Probe Probers San Francisco, Sept. 21 UP) demand for an investigation of the Dies investigating committee was made today in a letter to Prest dent Roosevelt from the Maritime Federation of the Paclflo district council here. The letter, made publlo by Z. R. Brown, Secretary of San Francisco Bay area district council No. 2, protested against the activity of the congressional committee Inquir ing into subversive . activities and headed by Rep. Dies, (D., Texas) The letter urged Mr. Roosevelt to direct the LaFollette civil liber' ties committee to investigate the congressional group's activities. It also asked the LaFollette com mtttee probe "anti-labor forces in California, such as the activities of (Stanley M. "Larry") Doyle and activities of vlgllantlsm In Orass Valley and Westwood, Calif. Doyle was described In the let ter as connected with "many antl- labor, anti-union and spying actlv Itles. There is indication he was instrumental In planting a dicta phone, with the knowledge of Oov. (Charles H.) Martin's office, In a hotel room occupied by Harry Bridges during the 1937 Maritime Federation convention in Portland, Ore." alls City Pastor Offered Reception Fallas City A surprise reception and pound party was given Satur day honoring Rev. and Mrs. Oeorge Edward of the Free Methodist church at their home.

Continuation of Roosevelt Purge from pag 1 Satonstall won the republican nom (nation in a landslide which gave him almost three times as many votes as his three opponents com blned. Former Sen. W. Warren Barbour was an easy winner of the republican senatorial nomination in New Jer sey, defeating Oeorge O. Pullen of Trenton, Townsend plan advocate, and C. Dan Coskey, Jersey City engineer. William H. J. Ely, former New Jersey works progress administra tor, won the democratic senatorial nomination without opposition. Sen. John Milton did not seek another term. Mrs. Madeleine Edison Sloane, daughter of the late Thomas A Edison, lost her bid for the repub lican nomination In the 11th New Jersey, district. Wisconsin progressives put Oov. Philip Lafollette far out in front In his campaign for a fourth-term nomination. Despite efforts by some politicians to consolidate the La follette opposition, Robert K. Henry, fusion candidate, trailed his repub lican opponent but was ahead in the democratic gubernatorial con test. In the Wisconsin contests for senatorial nominations, Rep. Tho mas Amite trailed Herman L. EKem on the progressive ticket and Alex ander Wiley led a field of six for the republican designation. Sen. F. Ryan Duffy was unopposed for democratic renominatlon. Wisconsin republicans led In total votes for the first time since the Lafollette group organized the separate progressive party in 1934. Roosevelt Names Rail Committee Washington. Sept. 21 UP Presl dent Roosevelt said Tuesday he hnd asked three railway executives and three representatives of railway la bor organizations to serve aa an Informal committee to draft recom mendations for legislation to ease the plight of the carriers. Mr. Roosevelt said he hoped U have a report from them within i month or six weeks. He conferred with the six lndl' vidua Is for an hour and a half pre ceding his press conference and aaid they had gone into the broad prob lem of putting a sound system of railroads in operation in the Untied States as a part of a sound trans portation system generally. Railroad wages, the president asserted, is only one element In this broader problem. Plenty of Turkeys Holiday Promise Washington. Sept. 21 (Pi a pro mise of plenty of turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners came today from the department of agriculture. Experts said the 1938 turkey crop was about 3.7 per cent larger than last year and the festive gobblers were somewhat heavier because of plenty of green feed In most sec tions of the country. Turkey toms will average 17.S pounds llvewelght at tune of marketing, the depart ment said, while hens will average 119 pounds. Staffords Entertain Waconda Mr. and Mri. Henry C.

Ore., Sept. 21 (Ft There was a day when to the western cattlemen the only good sheep man was a dead Bheep man. and vice versa, but the feeling has softened somewhat. Where once they settled their dis agreements with shooting Irons and rope, they take them to court now. yesterday in the polished sur roundings of the U, S. circuit court of appeals, Harry Noh. southern Idaho sheep man, verbally fought out his feud with cattlemen. Noh was charged with violating the Ida ho range law and countered with a claim he acted within the con fines of the federal Taylor grazing act. He got an injunction in the Idaho federal district court against the state court procedure. The cat tlemen appealed to the federal cir cuit court. Ashurst-Hannon Feud Slumbers Klamath Falls, Ore.. Sept. 21 W A feud between Circuit Judge Ed ward B. Ashurst and Walter Han non, clerk of court, climaxed Mon day In a bloody fist fight on the back steps of the Klamath county courthouse, appeared to have pass ed temporarily Into a somnolent stage.. Neither 'Ashurst nor Hannon wus at his desk. County Clerk Mae K. Short, of whom Hannon is a depu ty, said the circuit court clerk had suffered a relapse in his recovery from a recent attack of Influenza and was remaining at home. Judge Ashurst was also at his home, ostensibly nursing the severe head and facial Injuries he suffered In the fracas. The Judge Issued an other order for the county grand Jury to convene "forthwith," al though absence of at least one mem ber of that body on a deer hunting expedition made its Immediate cop vocation impossible. Courthouse talk was that the grand Jury, when it does assemble, will meet at Ashurst's house.
