' A few high priced shares dropped abruptly on withdrawal ot bids. Sentiment appeared less uneasy over the war news but there was nervousness over growing anti-inflation talk and a gloomy outlook for corporate earnings, as depicted by several business executives at annual meetings today. General Hectrio common stock drifted down point to a new 1943 low at 22. after President Charles F. Wilson told G. E. stock holders that first quarter earnings this year would be less than In 1941 although the corporation Is working at a record pace. Curtiss-Wrlght common firmed point to 1H when its annual report for 1941 showed earnings equal to 13.15 a share against (1.81 In 1040. However, 1941 tax provisions were up more than 300 per cent, while net profit showed a considerably smaller gain. Douglas Aircraft held a gain of 154 points to 60 and United Aircraft preferred was up 3 to M!4. Ralls met fair support. Norfolk & Western gained 2 points and Bant Fe Nickel Plate preferred and Southern Railway preferred were up almost a point. Utilities were barely steady. Bethlehem Steel still was up to tt and U. S. Steel up 'A to 47', 4 after easing from earlier highs, Motors had narrow advances. Amer ican Telephone slipped down to 113U. Allied Chemical dropped 2 points and Du Pont sold oft a point, while Monsanto gained IK and Virginia Carolina Chemical 3 points. Wide losers Included National Lead preferred A, 160, off 16 !4 National Biscuit preferred 151, off t; Reynolds Tobacco 45, off 5; Gold & Stock Telegraph Co., 76, off 614; and National Gypsum preferred 61, off 3, all new 1942 lows. Dow Jones preliminary closing took averages: Industrial, 97.60, up 0.25; rail, 24.52, up 0.35; utility, 10.87, off 0.02; and 85 other stocks, .79, up 0.15. Stock sales were 270,250 shares compared with 240,000 yesterday. Curb stock sales were 39,000 shares against 38,000 In the previous ses sion. Firm Tone in Grain Futures i Chicago, April 21 (U.R) Grain futures- maintained a firm tone In quiet dealings today. Wheat olosed lVt to 1 cents a bushel higher, corn up to : oats up to K, rye up to IVi, and soybeans up to 1, All futures showed strength at the opening, attributed In part to recovery move from yesterday's seasonal lows. Some traders still were Inclined to take sideline post tlons pending clarification of the government's position on posslblo imposition of price ceilings over basic commodities. Volume was light and trading was featured by scarcity of offerings. Commission house brokers offer ed early support to September wheat and corn deliveries. Much of the later trading in wheat appeared to be the nature of spreads. There was some profit taking noted when July wheat futures reached tho 1,2214 level.

Rieder, acting county agent. The syneta beetles have been ent ering from the ground , now for about 10 days and are causing con siderable damage by their feeding on the buds, blossom stems and de veloping fruit. Rieder says that they can eas ily be controlled with a lead arsenic spray composed of 4 pounds of lead arsenate to 100 gallons of water to which Is added 2 pounds of hydrat ed lime. Satisfactory control of sy neta beetle may also be obtained by the use of a dust containing lead arsenate, 20 or 30 pounds, and lime, 70 or 80 pounds, applied at the rate of 30 or 40 pounds per acre. Some of., the commercial dusts contain some sulphur which Is add ed to the lime and the arsenic and which may be of some value in helping to check brown rot. The blossom blight stage of brown rot disease Is spread by rains during blossom time ard Is now present in most orchards waiting for a chance to be spread to the fruit by rains which may occur during the rest of April. A spray of bordeaux, 3-3-50, applied when most of the petals are off is very effective In check ing the spread of this blossom blight disease. To this spray can be added the lead arsenate spray mentioned above for the control of syneta beetle. If the lead arsenate spray Is added to the, bordeaux spray, the additional 2 pounds of hydrated lime needed in the arsenic spray when applied alone Is not necessary, Rieder says, - 12,300 Japs Ordered Out Fort Lewis, April 21 (JP) Lieut. Gen. John L.

West Point has been a military post since Jan. 20, 1778. This Week Given to China Relief Drive The United China relief drive is underway throughout the city and contributions are being received by the solici tors. The drive in Marion county to raise money for needy purposes In China lasts tnis week and those not contacted may leave their donations at the Ladd and Bush Salem Branch of the United States National bank. Chandler Brown who heads the city of Salem campaign says: "Millions of chlldrens are starving In China for want of food, nourish ment, medical supplies, etc.; and I wish to appeal to the citizens ot Salem to help and do so as quickly as possible as we want to finish this drive this week.

Labish Japs Leaving Farms Ninety per cent of Marion coun ty's Japanese colony who have been operating In the Lake Labish dis trict, mostly on a tenant basis, have closed deals whereby their projects are being taken over by white farmers, Frank J.

Growers and Spittle Bugs Start Argument Warnings are now being Issued by County Agent Robert Rieder that the time is at hand to prepare for the battle against the spittle bug and root weevils In the strawberry patches as well as to plan for spraying for the gooseberry fly. Rieder states that the gooseberry fly has begun to emerge and the first spray application should be made by April 27, he states to pre vent the early fly from laying eggs In the developing berries. He rec ommends a spray made of lead ar senate, two ounces, cheap molasses, one quart, and water to make three gallons. . The first spray should be applied when the berry is about the size of. a small pea seed. Spray ing should be thorough with the spray reaching every part of the plant and especially the under side of the leaves. For the strawberry spittle bug he recommends a rotenone dust con taining one-half of one per cent of actual rotenone. This should be applied with either a hand or power machine and he states lt Is Impor tant that the dust reach the under side of the leaves and the heart of the fruit spurs. Between 50 and" 70 pounds of this rotenone is the quantity needed in dusting an av erage field for one effective ap plication. When a second dusting is necessary it should be applied in about two weeks to catch the bugs which have hatched since the first dusting.; Baiting for root weevil should be done twice in order to catch the two groups of the pest. The first of these baitings should be done now and the second in June. Bait for the weevil may be bought al ready mixed and comes under va rious trade names. . Or a grower may make his own bait using 50 pounds of bran, five gallons of wa ter, 10 pounds of sugar and five pounds of either calcium arsenate or sodium . fluosilicate.-. The bait should be placed either down in the crown of the plant or close by the side of the plant and not just broadcast over the leaves as with this method the bait dries too rap Idly and becomes ineffective. Ap plication should be at the rate of about a tablespoon per tflant or approximately 50 pounds per acre.

At a meeting of George Burke, state department of fores try, Merrill Ohling, county fire chairman, and W. G. Nlbler, assist ant county agent, plans for such a movement were outlined to reduce rural fire hazards to a minimum and to prepare to meet any fire emergency. The OSO extension ser vice has been assigned the Job of organizing the campaign, - The plan provides for organizing in each critical rural area a'volun teer fire fighting unit designed to protect from 60 to 100 farms, de- pending on local conditions. For each district a captain and an as sistant will be appointed. These men will later attend at least two training meetings, at which co operating agencies will instruct In latest methods of fire preventionjK and fire fighting in rural areas, tl I One of the main purposes of " thorough organization In advance is to eliminate fire hazards and to construct fire breaks around and in fields and around buildings. Crops, equipment, farm homes and buldlings are especially valuable and difficult to replace during war time, and they are essential to at tainment of production so badly needed by the nation, Nlbler points out. v Farmers will be asked to lend or list fire fighting equipment Includ ing shovels, rakes, water buckets and cans, tractors, trucks, plows, spray rigs, hand spray pumps, and other material necessary to have available Immediately for emergen cy use. The extension service has assign ed Art King, extension specialist In soils, as state leader of the program to devote full time to rural fire pro tection work for the next three months. He will be assisted by Rob-rJ ert Sterling, assistant In land use ' planning. It is hoped to have the units organized and functioning by the middle of May.
