Go Forward in
Day's Session
New York, July 21 DIB The stock
market today pushed Into new high
ground since late January In the
Industrial average and Into new
highs lor the year In railroad shares.
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.
Sidney Blumenthal preferred gain
ed 7 points on a few transactions.
Other Issues had gains ranging to
more than 3 points.
Steels were prominent on the re
covery with Bethlehem and Crucible
up more than 2 points. Coppers had
gains ranging to more than a point
in American smelting.
Stock sales were 910,000 shares,
of which 420,000 came on the last
hour rally, compared with 420,000
shares for Friday's full session. Curb
stock sales were 114,000 shares
against 71,000 Friday.

Farmers Very Busy
Hazel Green, July 21 With the
berry season overlapping the hay
and .grain harvest, farmers are un
usually busy these days. 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. ,

Lower Alsace
Hops Limited
In Acreage
The following la an excerpt from
a report from the American em
bassy in Berlin. 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.

Report Made on
1941 Hop Crop
The crop reporting board of the
TJ. 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. The acreage of hops in
British Columbia in 1941 Is expected
to be Increased to approximately
1,450 acres. Early season crop con
ditions are exported to have been
excellent.

Wheat Prices
Lose a Cent
Chicago, July 21 (U.R) Wheat
prices lost about a cent a bushel
today before a rally in the final
hour recovered most of the loss.
Scattered hedge selling was ap
parent with trade generally at a
slow pace.
Wheat closed K to U cent a bu
shel lower. Corn was off M to M
oats unchanged to lower, rye up
1 to off 1A, and soy beans were
down to 1.
Outset dealings in wheat showed
little change. Resting order sup
port tended to push prices up from
the day's lows.
Soy beans climbed more than a
cent a bushel at the start, reflecting
strength in cotton. Around top lev
els demand waned and with scat
tered pressure prices dipped sharp
ly.
Rye was Irregular, while corn and
oats were lower.
Skies over the grain belt gener
ally were clear. The forecast was

Flax Pulling Machine
On Rosfvold Farm
Hazel Green, July 21 The oo ore
Rostvold of Monitor Is pulling 20
acres of flax on the Pater Wil
liamson farm, using a flax pulling
machine Imported from Belgium by
the Mt. Angel Flax Growers asso
ciation. It takes three men to op
erate the machine. They 20 acres
gave promise of being a bumper
crop, being unusually tall, but on
close examination was found to be
badly damaged by the Iris worms
that have been the cause of so much
damage to strawberry acreages the
past four years in this and other
communities.
Raising of flax is a new venture
for farmers in this vicinity. Among
those who have acreages this year,
besides the Williamson field, are Al
len Looney with 11 acres, Louis
Wampler five acres, Ray McKlbben
10, Joseph Schneider 12 acres, Ed
Haslebacker five and Albert Hasle
backer four. Threshing of crimson
clover for seed Is being accomplish
ed by Ed Hynes and Ray McKlb
ben with excellent yields reported.
Hop growers report the hot sun
shine Is checking the downy mildew
with which the yards have been
suffering.
The blight on the onion seed crop
has been treated and the spraying
used on the celery crop has checked
all evidence of Wight.

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.
