Experts explained the rise as caus ed mostly by technical factors. L.acK of pressure following the recent at tempt of rails to break through their high attracted new buying. Reports of continued stiff Russian resistance to German attacks also aided senti ment. President Roosevelt's message was In line with Wall street expec tations and when It was released prices moved ahead. Numerous Issues moved into new new high ground for the year and longer. Ralls featured. A long list of oil Issues made new nigns or equaled their tops for the year. Special Is sues made wide gains. Steels and other heavy Industry shares made substantial gains while motors ral lied after a decline that carried Chrysler to a new 1941 low. Motor shares failed to Join the re covery with the vigor of other groups. They were retarded by an order by Price Administrator Leon Henderson over the week-end that automobile production be cut 50 per cent next season. New highs for the year were made by Santa Fe, Atlantic coast line, Louisville & Nashville, Southern Railway Issues, Lehigh Valley, Nick el Plate preferred and Gulf Mobile & Ohio preferred. OH Issues to make new tops In eluded Socony-Vacuum, the most active Issues, Standards of Califor nia, Indiana and New Jersey, Texas Corporation, Indian Refining, and Continental.

Alexander Sharp finished harvesting a three ton yield of Boysenberrles from a two year old planting. This yield proved the wisdom of the irrigation system Installed last season by Sharp and son. Some fields of Youngber rles and Boysenberrles were defin itely harmed by the heavy frost last spring while others seemed to have escaped harm. The new laterals are the ones escaping Injury as they bloomed later and produced a measure of a crop. The unusual am ount of rainfall also Increased the yield In many fields. Charles Zicllnskl reports an un usual yield of strawberries from a four-year old planting. As a rule, three years ends the profit bearing crop, but Zlellnskl reports four and one-half tons per acre from the four year old field. A number of farmers are experi menting with hay cutters this year and as there Is such a tremendous crop the cutting has a distinct ad vantage In allowing many more tons to be stored In the hay barns. Her man Wacken and Ed Kuenzl are operating hay balers In this district. Ralph Worden has harvested his first cutting of alfalfa and there will be a ton more this season. , Salem Markets Compiled from report ot Sa lem dealers, for the fuldanc tf Capital Journal reader.

On the basis of a decree issued by the chief of the civil administration in Alsace, hop cultivation will In future be limited to a specified hop area in the lower Alsace comprising 85 communities, In these communities hops may only be grown by persons whose chief profession Is farming and who can prove that in 1939 they grew and delivered hops. In all other communities (263) hop plants must be removed by May 1, 1941, Persons who have their domicile in the officially recognized hop dls tricts, but who, as non-farmers, will no longer be allowed to grow hops, must also have their hop plans re moved by May 1, 1941. In consequence of this decree the hope area in Alsace, which Is re ported tu have been unnecessarily large, will be reduced to one-third of its former size. According to this press announce ment, for the last 12-15 years hop cultivation In Alsace has been un profitable and owing to continued sales difficulties, areas devoted to hope cultvatlon had already been reduced by about 50 per cent of their pre-war size. Areas thus cleared of hop will be devoted to the cultivation of tobacco, which is said to grow very well in Alsace, and to the growing of beet roots, corn and other crops. The decrease In the German hop area, which commenced in 1936 has continued since the beginning of the war. According to a regulation of the "Central Association for Ger man Hop Production" hop growers in 1940 had to reduce their hop area by 15 per cent. This same reduc tion is in effect the crop year 1941. The aforementioned regulation. however, does not apply to hop growers, who, In 1940, reduced their area according to those regulations and who have not planted new hop vines since then. The regulations likewise provide that sales quotas for hops shall be fixed by the chairman of the "Cen tral Association for German Hop Production" on the basis of 1939 hop yields. Higher quotas may be fixed for districts which In 1939, on account of unfavorable weather conditions, harvested below average yields. Preliminary quotas are be ing fixed at the present time while final quotas will be allotted at the beginning of the hop harvest. The sale, purchase or utilization of hops in excess of Uie fixed quo tas is forbidden. The carrying out of the provisions of the regulations has been entrusted to the hop as sociation in the various districts. The locks at Sault Ste. Marie take care of a difference of 18 feet in the water levels of Lake Superior and Lake Huron. most 240-270 lbs. 11.20-60; bulk 270 300 lb. averages 11.00-26; smooth 350 500 lb. packing sows generally 9.50 10.25; with lighter weights 10.35-65. heep 2,000; closing active: all classes 10-25 higher: five double decks closely sorted 86 lb.

S, department of agriculture makes the following report on the 1941 hop crop in the United States as of July 1. On an acreage 7 per cent larger than that of 1940, the indicated production of hops in the Pacific coast states in 2 per cent smaller than the crop of 1940, but is 19 per cent larger than the 10 year (1930-39) average production. Acreage for harvest In 1941 is esti mated at 35,100 acres, compared with 32,800 in 1940 and the 10 year average 29,660 acres. Prospective production, as indicated by condi tion on July 1, totals 41,500,000 pounds compared with 42,522,000 pounds In 1940 and the 10 year average of 34,784,000 pounds. Acreage in the three states con tinues to show an upward trend, with increases over 1940 indi cated in each state. The largest percentage is In Washington where the acreage for harvest in 1941 is 18 per cent greater than in 1940. The California acreage Is 6 per cent larger and that of Oregon 4 per cent larger. The prospective yield per acre Is smaller in each state than in 1940 and for the three states combined averages 1,182 pounds compared with 1,297 pounds last year. In Oregon, the most important produc ing state, cloudy, damp weather has caused considerable downy mil dew to appear in some areas ana a few yards are believed to be almost a total loss. Although this condi tion has taken Its toll, clear weath er would help check the damage and possibly Improve crop prospects, Mildew has also injured the Cali fornia crop, particularly in the So noma county district. In this state the crop is reported to be later than usual. In Washington, the vines have been quite free from dis ease and the prospective yield Is high, although not as high as In 1940. British Columbia Hop Crop Estimated The 1940 crop of hops in British Columbia Is now estimated at 1,- 691,500 pounds Instead of 1,440,000 pounds as previously estimated. The crop was smaller than In 1939 but compared favorably with the 1934-38 average. The quality of the British Columbia crop as a whole was very good. In addition to the British Columbia acreage of 1,303 acres in 1940, about 200 acres were grown In eastern Ontario and 10 or 15 acres in Quebec.

Gravity of Situation Told By President (Continued from page 1) acknowledge this national emer gency either for a specific period or until revocation by the congress or the president." The objective, he declared is the all Important issue. The chief executive said he was confident men In the ranks realized better than the public the "disas trous effect'1 which would result from permitting the present army to melt away and set back the training and expansion program at least six months. Noting that last year's selective service legislation definitely provid ed that the one year training pro gram could be extended by congres sional action if a national danger later exclsted, the president added: "I do not believe that the danger to American safety Is less than It was one year ago when, so far as the army was concerned, the United States was In a woefully weak po sition. I do not believe that the danger to our national safety Is only about the same as it was a year ago. Wants Limit Removed "I do believe I know that the danger today is infinitely greater. I do believe I know that In all truth we are in the midst of a na tional emergency." In addition to recommending continued service, the president said he thought congress also should re move restrictions on the number of selectees inducted each year. The limit now is 500,000. He also urged congress provide that employers be asked to continue keeping open jobs for men who have been held in the army. He promised to direct the return to civil life of those whose retention on active duty would "impose undue hardship" and that guardsmen and selectees who had become 28 would be transferred from active service to a reserve component of the army as rapidly as possible. In his message, the president em phasized that the national Interest of the United States and the other American republics was "definitely imperiled" by the war sweeping through Europe. But occasionally individuals, he said, basing their opinions on un supported evidence or no evidence at all, may with "honest Intent" as sert that this country need fear no attack on its own territory or on other western hemisphere nations, Nazi Sequence Pictured Mr. Roosevelt called attention, then, to the sequence of German conquest or moves from Austria to the Russian campaign. "Every move up and down and across and Into Asia, and Into Af rica," he declared, "has been con ducted according to a time sched ule utilizing in every case an over whelming superiority not only in material but in trained men as well, ''Each campaign has been based on a preliminary assurance of safe ty or non-aggression to the intend ed victim. Each campaign has been based on disarming fear and gain ing time until the German govern ment was fully ready to throw trea ties and pacts to the winds and si multaneously to launch an attack in over-whelming force. "Each elimination of a victim has brought the Issue of nazi domina tion closer to this hemisphere, while month by month their intrigues of propaganda and conspiracy have sought to weaken every link In the community of Interest that should bind the Americas Into a great western family." Declaring he thought no branch of the government was willing to let America risk the fate which has destroyed independence of other nations, the chief executive said that "We Americans can not afford to speculate with the security of America." Responsibility Acknowledged He cited also "a definite responsi bility" for the United States to aid every other western hemisphere democracy against attack from without and asserted that in his judgment it would be an act of "bad faith" toward our neighbors to weaken the army at this particu lar time. Emphasizing the Importance which the chief executive attaches to tfie message, the White House disclosed he would make a record ing of It for radio broadcasting. This would be released when senate and house clerks began reading the document and the expectation was that it would be broadcast then or shortly thereafter.
