After Advance
! New York. May 21 CU.R) Leading
(locks sagged in late profit-taking
$$day after an early rise.
..German activities In Crete were
considered the principal factor In
(lowing the advance since most do
mestic news was favorable.
' Steel shares sagged fractions,
feteel news today Included an au
thoritative estimate that the princi
pal producer, U. S. steel, was oper
ating at 100 per cent of capacity,
equaling the record high established
In January.
Coppers were active with prices
tnlxed. OU issues were the most ac
tive as a group. Consolidated Oil,
Ohio Oil, Standard OU of Ohio, Tex
as Corporation and Texas Pacific
land trust, made new highs for the
year.
Railroad issues encountered some
profit-taking by traders who feared
ill effects of labor demands for
higher wages. Losses were relative'
Jy small. Utilities also eased on the
average.
American Telephone rose more
than a point when directors an
nounced they had recommended flo
tation of a debenture Issue of $334,'
000,000 for construction purposes.
Sills Issue, If stockholders authorise
It at a special meeting June 35, will
provide valuable rights for present
holders of the stock.
Some mercantile Issues were high'
cr on improved trade reports. Farm
Issues continued to rise on anticipa
tion of heavier business resulting
from higher parity payments. J. I
Case gained two points.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
stock averages: Industrial 117.83 up
0.17, rail 38.12 off 0.13, utility 17.36

Grains Close
Higher Today
i Chicago, May 21 (U.B Grain and
soy bean futures moved higher to
day. All deliveries of soy beans and
July and September corn reached
the best levels since 1937, Profit-
taking sales halted the advance.
Wheat finished uo to K. Corn
.was up K to I, oats unchanged to
'.up rye unchanged to up H, and
sov beans UD 3H to 4tt.
Wheat opened fractions of a cent
above yesterday's olose. Offerings
were limited at the opening and the
market easily responded to buying
through commission houses. Prices
rose nearly 1 cent a bushel then
settled back.
The firmness I . wheat was a re
flection of growing belief that the
.85 percent of parity bill would be
allowed to stand as a law by the
president. Strength In other com'
inodltles also encouraged demand.
Strength In cottonseed oil and
fats Inspired general buying of soy
beans which encountered only light
offerings.

Time fo Spray
For Control ol
Cherry Flies
Cherry fruit flies have made
their appearance In emergence
cages placed In the Macleay area,
announces Acting County Agent
Robert E. Rieder. The first flies
were found on May 19, which is the
earliest emergency since 1934 states
Mr. Rieder.
The first spray for control of this
fly should be applied at once. It
is the early files which cause the
most serious Infestation in pro
cessed cherries if they are not
controlled, according to the 'county
agent.
The recommended spray is lead
arsenate 5 pounds, cheap molasses
S gallons, and water 100 gallons.
This should be a thorough bait
spray, reaching every part of the
tree.
Some growers have indicated that
they will use the lime sulfur spray,
as follows: Liquid lime sulfur 2
gallons; lead arsenate 2 '.-4 pounds;
water 100 gallons. If this spray Is
used, It must be remembered that
it should be applied very thorough
ly and is not a bait spray, but a
coverage spray.
Growers will be notified by the
county agent's office through the
newspapers and by circular letter
when the time comes to spray
again. The first spray should go on
as soon as possible, and Mr. Rieder
warns that any delay means that
worms may get into the cherries.
Time to Fight
Two Nut Pests
Walnut blight and filbert aphis,
two pests to Marion county orchard
Ists, should be fought against now,
states Robert K. Rieder. acting coun
ty agent, who is warning walnut
and filbert growers this week to act
at once.
It is time now to apply the third
or early post-bloom spray applica
tion for the control of walnut blight
to grafted Pranquette and Mayette
orchards located on the valley floor.
Orchards located in the foothills
above the valley floor will not be
ready to spray until sometime later,
which will have to be determined
locally by each grower. In past years
orchards located at elevations rang
ing from 100 to 800 feet above sea
level have been anywhere from one
to four days later than those on the
valley floor.
The same strength of Bordeaux
mixture, namely 3-1-50, should be
used for this application as was used
for the earlier treatments. It is not
necessary to use oil with this appli
cation, as the leaves are now largely
resistant to spray Injury.
Filbert aphis are very numerous
In many orchards now, and since
they are a month to six weeks ahead
of ordinary infestitation time, .they
can do serious damage. A nicotine
dust is the recommended control
measure by Mr. Rieder. Growers
should watch their orchards and
when the aphis become numerous
on every leaf, the dust should be
applied at once. Best results have
been obtained with a 5 percent nic
otine dust,
