Fourteen
Stocks Decline
Irregularly To New Lows
New York, March 26 U.B Stocks
declined irregularly today to within
triking distance of the lowest gen
eral level In four years, with the
utility average at a further all-time
low and the railroad component at
at a new bottom for the year;
Losses In the main list were lim
ited to around a point, but a few
special issues had declines running
to 12 points. American Telephone
and Norfolk & Western hit new lows
since 1938, the latter on a wide
loss.
Trading was slightly below yes
terday's dull pace. ,
Bonds followed the trend In the
stock list, edging off after early Ir
regularity. In contract, commodities develop
ed a firmer undertone. Cotton had
late gains running to almost a dol
lar bale. All grains closed higher on
the board of trade.
A drop In the rail average largely
reflected a break of 5 points to 143
In Norfolk & Western, bringing its
loss since last Saturday to 19 14
points. The Issue has been under
pressure because Increased oper
ating expenses and taxes are eating
heavily Into its earnings, Jeopardiz
ing maintenance of its present di
vidend. Chesapeake & Ohio also set
a new low at loss to 28','j, while
Southern Railway preferred equal
ed Its 1942 bottom at 30',4, off VA.
Dther rails, however, did little.
Dividend fears brought selling
Into American Telephone, the issue
slipping down 1 Vi points to lie, or
down 1 points since last Satur
day. Westinghouse Electric, also
one of the old-line "blue chips,"
reached a new low at 68, off ,
Paramount first preferred and
American Sugar Refining preferred
were down more than a point to
new lows and new 1942 bottoms
were reached on fractional losses by
Pan American airways, American
Sugar common, Borden, Federated
Department Stores and First Na
tional Stores,
Homestake Mining, Newmont
Mining, Climax Molybdenum, and
Eastern Kodak were among Issues
down a point or more. Life Savers,
Liggett & Myers preferred, Nation
al Enameling and Stamping, and
Bush Terminal Building preferred
certificates had gains of 1 to more
than 2 points. Lehigh Valley coal
hit a new high In active trading on
a small gain.
Leading steel and motor shares
held close to their previous finals.
International Telephone was the
most active Issue traded, holding
about unchanged. N. Y. Central
and Aviation Corp. also were activo
features, both on narrow changes,
The Dow-Jones preliminary clos'
ing stock averages: Industrial, 101.04,
off 0.44; rail, 26.16, off 0.29 to a new
1942. low; utility, 11.62, off 0.22, to
a new record low; and 65 stocks,
33.39, off 0.24.
Sales on the stock exchange to
taled 301,360 shares, against 316,346
yesterday. Curb stock sales were
61,000 shares against 111,000 yester
day.
Dull Trading
In Grain Today
Chicago, March 26 (U.B Grain
futures were little changed in dull
trading on the board of trade to
day.
All futures closed near their peaks
for the day. Wheat was up to
K cent a bushel; corn up U to
; oats unchanged to up 'A; rye
up H to H, and soy beans up 1
to l.
After opening at prices steady or
fractionally higher, quotations In
most pits dipped under modcrato
offerings, but losses woro minor,
A fair resting demand Imparted
aome support to corn futures early
In the session, and strength In soy
beans together with a short cover
ing flurry steadied wheat futures,
Rye futures dealings were more or
less confined to professional trad
ers. -
General Interest In the markot
was only fair, and there was little
In the news to offer grain men In
centive for fresh operations.
Wheat redemptions remained
light, and frco supplies appeared
adequate to tako enro of tho de
mand,
Congress continued to sldo-trnck
action on the pending agriculture
appropriations bill with Its parity
price rider. Mill support continued
light.
Grain futures were narrowly Ir
regular in other markets.

Agent Gets
Many Queries
About Gardens
Gardening questions are becom
ing numerous at the office of the
county agent and a large number
of these are answerable in bull'
etlns which have been re-issued in
large quantities to take care of the
situation, states Robert E. Rleder,
county agent.
The county agent states that In
formation on blossom end rot of
tomato Is being sought by many
growers. This is not a disease in the
strict sense of the word, but Is
caused by unfavorable growth con-
dltlons. It is discussed in extension
circular 372. The potato flea beetle
is another garden pest causing fre
quent inquiries. Circular of lnfor
matlon No. 227 covers this subject.
while extension bulletin 551 handles
the Insect pest control situation
more broadly. .
Crown division for propagating
everbearing strawberries is explain'
ed in extension bulletin 488. Some
of the widely used everbearing va
rieties do not produce runners,
hence their Increase is by cutting
the crowns into several pieces and
resetting annually.
Western yellow tomato blight Is
really one form of the curly top
disease that attacks a number of
vegetables, particularly in eastern
Oregon where the leafhopper which
carries the virus is abundant, Clr
cular of Information 180 covers this
questom. Spittle bugs are a wide
spread pest that are controlled by
dusting with rotenone, Circular of
information 168 gives the details of
how to handle this problem.
Two closely related extension
bulletins Issued In extra large
quantities recently are "The Farm
and Home Vegetable Garden," ex
tension bulletin 587, and "A Plant
ing Plan for the Farm and Rome
Vegetable Garden," extension bull
etin 589. Another one recently re'
ssued is "Planning Your Family's
rood supply," extension bulletin
a.
Any of these may be obtained
at the county agent's office,
i- .
Simpler Type of
Duster Used
A new and simpler type of duster,
designed for dusting peas and
vetch for weevil, has been develop
ed by the agricultural engineering
and entomology departments at
Oregon State college and Ms now
described In detail in station circu
lar of information No. 262, reports
Robert E. Rleder, acting county
agent.
The . new duster is known as a
tapered boom type, which is easier
to build and operate than earlier
models, and is so light that it can
be mounted on a small truck or
pickup body for field operation
Two 18-foot booms are used on the
new machine, supported at the
outer ends, by bicycle wheels.
When traveling five miles an
hour, this 37-foot duster will cover
approximately 20 acres per hour.
The entire cost of the dusting ma
chine, exclusive of the blower unit,
is estimated at about (84.
The new duster is not as effi
cient In aphis control as the plain
boom type developed two years ago,
but it is so much cheaper and larg
er in covering capacity that it is
believed superior for most uses,
The bulletin is available at the
county agent's office.
Grange Leader
On Farm Issues
Portland, Ore., March 28 (IP)
The real farm issue of the day Is
whether farmers can be self-supporting
or whether they must ac
cept government subsidy to produce
what is expected of them, National
Grange Master Albert S. Goss de
clared in a prepared statement to
day.
Goss, now In the northwest con
ferring with Grange leaders re
garding a site for the 1042 conven
tion, asserted;
"The statement recently made by
Leon Henderson that the farmers
are more Interested In raising prices
than crops Is absolutely false.
He asserted that farmers got be
hind the administration 18 months
ago when the policy of crop curtail
ment gave way to Increased produc
tion, even though many of them
lost heavily through surplus pro
duction after the last war.
"They did not quibble over
prices, hours of labor, over time,
guarantee on investments or any
thing else. They went to work and
raised the biggest crops in history
with yet bigger crops coming," he
said.
Farmers don't want subsidies.
They merely want fair prices for
what they produce. They are
strenuously objecting to a policy
which will set them aside as a sub
merged Industry which must come,
hat in hand, to the treasury each
year for its living."
Big Tomato Order
Waldo Hills, March 26 Oeorge
Yetter, owner of the Evergreen
greenhouse reports that he now has
an order for 25,000 tomato plants
from canneries for farm plantings
supplying these plants. More and
moro space in the greenhouse this
year, said Yetter. Is being devoted
to vegetables.
Brighfmore Name
Of New Strawberry
Corvallls, March 28 W Bright
more is the name of a new hybrid
strawberry variety Just released by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
through its small fruit breeding pro
ject at Oregon State College,
The new variety originated here
In 1932 as a cross between the
Blakemore and another unnamed
cross between the famous Ettersburg
121 and Marshall. It has been tested
extensively in Oregon and Wash
ington for the past eight years and
found unusually disease resistant,
productive, and of excellent quality
for the freezing and preserving
trade, says George F. Waldo, fed

Churchill Sees
Turn for Worse
In the Atlantic
(Continued from page 1)
Churchill said, there has been an
enormous improvement in Britain's
war position.
'A year ago we were alone," he
said. "Now three of the greatest na
tions in the world are sworn to us
in close alliance and are fighting
at our side with all their growing
power.
"Whereas a year ago all we could
do was fight stubbornly and dogged
ly on, as we have done when we
were alone in former war and not
without ultimate success we have
now at our side mighty allies."
Victory Gardens
Get Spotlight
Radical changes In the women's
food exhibits and competition,
tuned to the defense and victory
garden theme, will be found at the
1942 Oregon state fair, Manager
Leo. G. Spltzbart reported this
week as the premium list copy went
to the printer.
Spltzbart urges that housewives
(and of course any man who has
the temerity to pit his culinary
skill against the women's is wel
come to compete) keep in mind pre
paration of a display for the state
fair when they plant their victory
gardens this spring and as they do
their seasonal canning.
'We expect to have the finest
and greatest food displays . ever
brought to the state fair and we
have plans made to supplement the
competitive exhibits with some
thing entirely new, a victory food
fair," the manager stated. In fact.
Food for Victory" will be one of
the 1942 fair slogans. Dates are
September 7-13.
The food exhibits will include four
divisions, two of which defense
food conservation and dried foods
are entirely new.
Fancy arrangement of canned
foods ' will have no t bearing on
awarding of premiums in the de
fense food conservation displays.
The cash awards for the best display
of quality canned foods grown In
victory gardens of three acres or
less will be 85, $3 and (2 for first,
second and third, respectively. Sim
ilar money will be awarded for the
best display of canned foods grown
in victory gardens over three acres.
Other classes in this division; best
Jar canned fruit, vegetables or meat.
In the dried fruits exhibits,
awards will go in two classes: best
display of dried fruits and best dis
play of dried vegetables.
Breads and domestic canning are
other divisions in the food com
petition. The breads competition will
be in 16 classes, with three prizes in
each class; the domestic canning Is
set, up in 16 classes, with two prizes
in each.
All women not on the regular
premium book mailing list may re
ceive a copy by sending name and
address on a postcard to the Oregon
State Fair, Salem.

my country and all the blood of my
countrymen.
"Mr. Prime Minister, tonight will
be an unforgetable memory for me
Your inspiring words and those of
your compatriots will be emblaz
oned always in my memory as
though they had been carved on
stone or bronze. Under their in'
spiratlon I am taking the liberty
of assuming the high honor of rais
ing my glass In salute to your
great country and its great leaders.'
Curtin Sees Plans
Prime Minister John Curtin, who
poured over battle plans with Mac
Arthur before the dinner, declared
that under the American general's
leadership "the war can be fought
with dynamlo energy and inflexible
purpose." , ,
Curtin declared that MacArthur
had the .fullest confidence of Aus
tralia's war council.
Curtin said MacArthur "Gave us
inspiration for the struggle and his
direct and clear thinking in all that
is Involved have impressed us deep,
ly."
Outlining the matters discussed
at the war council meeting with
MacArthur, Curtin said ' The ene
my's tactics were reviewed and a
basis for counter-action was fully
explored."
Curtin for Surprise
'Forced as we are to battle on
our own soil," Curtin said, "the
plans we are making are not mat
ters for publication. I have no
doubt that just as we can surprise
the enemy we will gratify ourselves
News of what we have done and
not news of what we Intend will be
the only kind of news which the
war council can from now on make
available."
MacArthur, In his new role of
United Nations supreme command
er In the southwest Pacific, plunged
deep Into conferences with the
commonwealth's leaders as soon as
he arrived here today on his first
visit to the Australian capital.
MacArthur listened to a warm
debate in the house of representa
tives and, when he left, shook hands
with the speaker and commented
If the rest of the Australians can
fight as well as these argue, the war
Is as good as won."
Wearing his usual loose fitting
khaki blouse, without decorations
or insignia, MacArthur spent two
hours with the war cabinet before
going to the dinner.
At the end of the dinner, later,
the strains of "For- He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" followed by a tre
mendous ovation betokened Mac
Arthur's reception and the reaction
to his speech.
What I liked," one listener said
as they streamed slowly out of the
building, "was that three and six
suit he wore. Our blokes go around
in 12 guinea outfits."
(Three and six is about 75 cents;
12 guineas about (50.)
First See if
Thrips Present
Dallas, March 28 Prune growers
in Polk county were notified ' the
first of the week that ir they were
planning to spray prune trees for
(he control of thrips that it should
be done Immediately.
Apparently some of the orchards
in this county are somewhat later
and it is recommended that ' no
growers plan on spraying without
first determining that thrips are
present, states W. C, Leth, Polk
county agent. The presence of
thrips can easily be determined by
selecting at random a sufficient
quantity of buds of an entire orch
ard keeping them in a tight Jar
while collecting, and then picking
the buds apart on a large white
sheet of paper. If thrips are pres
ent to the extent thtat they will
average nearly one per bud, spray'
ing is recommended. A second spray
is recommended If thrips continue
to appear and if they can be found
In about this same proportion. It
Is recommended that spray be ap
plied even though fewer than one
per bud are found for the first
spray. It is not advisable to wait
for a heavy Infestation as It is pos
sible for one thrlp to blast a blos
som.
The recommended sprays are
Lime sulfur, 3 gallons; nicotine sul
fate 40 per cent, 1 pint; water to
make 100 gallons. Oil emulsion,
having the following viscosity; 70-75
seconds Saybolt; sulphonatlon test
of 90 per cent, diluted to give 2 per
cent actual oil; nicotine sulfate 40
per cent, 1 pint; water to make 100
gallons.
Thoroughness of application is es
sential and high pressure Is very
desirable. At least 350 pounds of
pressure Is required.
Those not having sprayed previ
ously and who have not had experi
ence in the control of this Insect
may receive additional Information
at the county agent's office.

Insurance of
Wheat Sets
Record in 1942
Nearly half of the atate'a 1M2
wheat crop will be protected against
all risks by federal crop Insurance,
Clyde Kiddle, crop Insurance assist
ant at the state AAA office, has Just
announced. Crop insurance will be
In effect on the greatest number of
Oregon farms since Its Introduction
four years ago.
A total of 3,802 applications for
Insurance have been received, cov
ering 1942 wheat production on 6,123
farms 1,432 more than last year
Kiddle reported. An estimated pro
duction of over six million bushels
on nearly 350,000 acres will be cov
ered by crop Insurance, he said.
Winter wheat policies were writ
ten -last fall for. 8,576 farms, and
applications for spring- wheat In
surance on 547 farms were received
'in February, final reports show.
Insurance will be In effect In 26
counties. Umatilla has the largest
number of farms, 1,051, covered.
Clackamas county is second . with
production Insured on 814 farms.
Kiddle credited simplification of
forms, introduction of a convenient
note premium payment plan and a
growing awareness of the protec
tion afforded as reasons for the
Increase.
"Everything from birds to bugs
took a bite out of Oregon's 1941
wheat crop," Kiddle said. "Nearly
1.300 claims were paid for 19 causes
of loss, with plant diseases In west
ern Oregon taking the largest toll.
As more growers realize that crop
insurance is protection against all
hazards, 'more of them are deciding
that they can't afford to be without
It."
