New York, Bept 31 OIB Stacks
advanced lor the third consecu

Prices eased when Premier Mus

the problem of all Czech minorities
be settled "Integrally," but the rise
was resumed In late dealings. Ad

more than a point. Some hlgh

Motors reached 46 up and
Chrysler 72 up 1. Moderate de
mand was noted for motor equip
ments and rubber tire shares. U.S.

point.

on the Do-Jones estimate of Its
producing rate which showed a gain
of 4 points from last week. The
stock touched 68 for a gain of
1H. Bethlehem touched 68"4 up
1 and Crucible 34 up . Inland
was up 4 points.
Railroad shares were depressed
after an early rise on word from
Washington that railroad manage
ment would not back down on Its
demands. Farm shares were frac
tions to a point higher. Oils dip
ped. Coppers were steady.
Widest gains were made by Al
lied Chemical, LaClede Gas Pre
ferred, Philip Morris and Pacific
Tin, which were 2 to more than
4 points above the previous close.

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."

Portland. 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.
