Ten The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Saturday, October 21, J939 Slocks Show Firmer Tendency In Active Day New York. Oct. 21 (U.R) The stock market developed a firmer tendency today In volume double that of week ago. Bonds were firm with U. S. Issues and foreign loans high' er. Commodities were steady to firm Improvement in the share market hinged on the German statement denying further peace moves; re ceipts of the first big foreign war order 2,000 trucks valued at $3,500,' 000; and further business improve ment. Truck stocks stood out from the start, many rising to new highs on word that the French had placed the 2,000-truck order. Studebaker open ed 12,00 shares at 9V and then rose to a new high at 9 up ?4. Motors, motor equipments, and rubbers made fractional gains. Chry sler was sustained by announcement conferences would be resumed Mon day between company officials and the union. Steel shares were aided by indica Hons the country's steelmaking op- eratlons would mount to a new re cord high next week. Commonwealth & Southern was active in the utilities. Aviations re sumed their rise under the leader ship of Douglas which gained point. Curtlss-Wrlght equalled its high. Other war issues were firm, in. eluding the coppers and rail equip- menus. Small advances were noted in the leading rails. Dow Jones closing stock averages Industrial, 153.86, up 0.86; rail, 34.78 up 0.20; Utility, 26.05, up 0.16. Stock sales approximated 540,000 shares against 250,000 in the short session last week. Curb stock sales were 86,000 shares against 59,000 last Saturday. Air Fleets Held Better Than Ships Newark, N. J., Oct. 21 (!') A group of 250 "determined aviators of any nation could blow the best fleet ever built right out of the ocean," say Lieut. Richard Aid worth, supcrln tendent of Newark airport and the only filer credited with dropping a bomb down a warship's funnel. "I think if any nation was pre pared to take the losses and used heavy enough bombs tiiey could cripple, if not destroy, a fleet even as powerful as England," he said yesterday in an interview. "And I'm sure, any nation that wanted to take a crack at It could get the men to do it." Aldworth flew for the United States durln gthe World war and was active in aviation after it. A destroyer "went down Ilka rock" lie said when he dropped a 25 pound bomb from his pursuit ship off the Virginia Capes during ma neuvers In 1921. The bomb plum meted down the fnnel of the destroy er when army bombers also sank a lormer German battleship, a cruis er and two submarines.

Plan to Cut Short Debate On Neutrality Washington, Oct. 21 (Pi In face of outspoken opposition administration leadership in senate undertook today to cut short debate on tile neutrality bill and speed the measure toward a final vote. Majority Leader Barkley nounced that before the third week of general discussion ended with to day's adjournment, he would ask lor a debate limitation to be made effective Monday, when considera tlon of amendments is expected to begin. "An overwhelming majority of the senate," Barkiey told his col leagues, "feels tnat the time has come when an effort should be made to bring this matter to a conclusion." Senator Nye R N. D.), and Johnson (R., Calif.), both express ed disfavor of Imposing a limita tion, however, and an effort to ob tain unanimous consent to that end could, of course, be blocked by only one objection. Johnson said that "there has been no effort" to delay the bill. We are getting toward the end now," he said, "and I don't see any reason to clamp on a debate limi tation." Some administration leaders had considered an arrangement where by each senator would be limited to one speech of an hour on the bill and one speech of 30 minutes on any amendment. "I certainly will not agree to that," said Nye. Senator Andiews (D., Fla.). led off the day's discussion with the argument that failure of congress to repeal the embargo, as the ad ministration bill provides, might result In defeat of France and Bri tain and leave the American na- tloas "to face the nazl-soviet bloc on this side of the Atlantic." filar UriTlR Kalp tl thncn Arr,atnn. na,lons lMin non-American en- emies. 1 nus, in me present war, arms could be sold to Canada but llgelenU .

Commercial Holly Growing Profitable Silverton Two fine commercial holly orchards have been planted west of town on the new Salem-Silverlon high way. A six-acre tract has been site or the old pheasant farm, while Dr. Smith, who recently purchased the Underdahl place, also is devot ing a considerable portion of his newly-acquired land to holly. The growing of holly for commer cial purposes Is an industry little utilized in this country. England has, for hundreds of years, grown holly in vast quantities for the holi day season. The demand here is so vast It can scarcely be realized. Many factors enter to complicate this novel and profitable industry, according to Benson. In the- first place there are about 300 species of holly and while many of them make beautiful ornamental trees, there are but very few who lend themselves nicely to a "commercial trim." Another difficulty has been the impossibility of interested growers to Range Conditions Reported Not Good Seattle. Oct, 21 (VP) Range condi tions for livestock in the Pacific northwest continue bad, due to drought, the U. S. division of agri cultural statistics reported today. The conditions, as of October 1. throughout the 1 1 western range states, was among the four lowest on record. The conditions in Wash ington state were but 66 percent of normal, lowest reported since 1917, with the exception of 1924 when they reached the same general level. In Oregon, ranges continued to decline last month; rainfall was far below normal; most livestock has been removed from high ranges and cattle and sheep shipments have been heavy due to good market de mand. ! Idaho range conditions Improved In the southwest and northeast, and demand also was reported good. j In Washington, after an unseas onably hot, dry September, livestock men reported ample feed supplies for a normal winter except in the northeastern section. Yakima valley was receiving heavy shipments of feeders, and there was a brisk de mand for stockers and feeders in areas with ample feed. Nationally, the agriculture depart ment indicated, most of the increase In cattle feeding this winter will be in states east of the Missouri, with the numbers fed in western states much below last year. Statis ticians reported the number of Iambs fed this winter will be greater than last season, particularly in the corn belt, though it may be offset by de creases in the west. Mail to Germany Going Through Italy Washington. Oct. 21 (U.R Officials of the poMoffire department, paid Friday that all mail addressed to Germany will be routed through It aly for Ihe duration of the war to avoid international complications In case of interception. Mall to England and France is be ing sont directly to its destination. Department officials said that there had been only one instance of American mail beinc censored by British authorities. Two days after the war began a Black Diamond line freighter was searched in the Eng lish channel and mnll destined for Germany was censored and return ed. The mail involved, postoffire of ficials said, was re-sent promptly on an Italian ship, retire Bear Trapped Mill City A large bear was caught in a trap by E. F. Groblebe this week on the place of John Sta mos. When Stamos had entered his barn in the morning for the purpose of feeding his stork, the animal was seen to Jump down from th barn's loIL i planted by Carl Benson on the obtain trees that are ail alike. A tree with medium-sized deep green leaves and medium berry formations is ideal and when such a combina tion is found, grab it up, said Mr Benson. Benson has been interested in hol ly culture for a great many years and the difficulties mentioned are the only reasons he has not plant ed Kooner. A couple of years ago he discovered a small nursery ex perimenting with Bisex holly. This Is a self-pollinating variety with a purplish-blue stem. The plant has every qualification desired for the best commercial planting for each and every tree Js exactly like all others of the same variety. Producing holly trees for com mercial orchards is a slow and ex acting process. The slips are taken at the proper time and placed in an elect rically heated hot bed. Exact temperature and moisture is main tained about ten months at which time about 30 per cent of the slips have rooted and are then moved into a hothouse where they are kept for several months prior to set ting outside in nursery beds. Trees baled and ready for planting have been transplanted many times a factor which creates splendid root systems. The Bisex holly tree is a cross be tween the French and English varieties. The parent tree was brought over from France in the late 70's and is growing in the Se attle district. While there Is a widespread In terest in holly culture one should remember that It is not get-rich-quick enterprise, for it takes several years before the trees enter com mercial production. Also growers should investigate before planting, since very few varieties offered are suited for clipping. Fat Lamb Show Plans Being Made lamb show, annually held at Scio for the last few years, is several months In the offing, plans already are under way for the 1940 exhibits according to Hazel Barta Pague, Scio sheep grower, chairman of the wool products committee at Scio the last two years. Needlepoint work is to be an add ed feature next spring, Mrs. Pague announced in Scio this week. Changes In wool lists are being con sidered at this time, she adds. "The Scio wool and fat lamb show committee is making an early' announcement of changes in the list of all wool articles to be entered in prize competition," Mrs. Pague continued.
