Newspaper Page TextFriday, August 21, 1942 Ten The Capital Journal, Salem,, Oregon Stocks Advance Irregularly In Some Groups New York, Aug. 21 WV-Rubbers, together with selected rails and industrials, regained their rising stamina in . today's stock market although many issues continued to loiter in the losing column. Transfers were in the neighborhood of 325,000 shares. Wall street seemed more hope ful regarding war developments in Europe and the Pacific but customers, generally, were dis inclined to get too far out on a limb because of possible even tualities over the week-end. Stocks in the new high class included Goodrich common and preferred, Firestone Tire, Good year, U.S. Rubber, Union Paci fic and Texas & Pacific railway. Resitant performers were Bethlehem Steel, Anaconda, Kennecott, Schenley, Jan Am erican Airways, United Airlines. Homestake Mining, Marshall Field, du Pont, Allied Chemical and Intercontinental Rubber. Bonds improved but commod ities were shakey, : Big board sales were 370,960 for the day, against 305,840 yes terday. On the N.Y. curb ex change sales were 75,850 against 49,550 yesterday. Preliminary closing Dow-Jones averages were: Industrial 107.07, up 0.24; rail 27.00, up 0.12; utility 11.74, up 0.07; 65 stocks 35.99, up 0.11. Narrow Range In Wheat Prices Chicago, Aug. 21 (U.R) Moder ate mill buying on nn improved flour business over night and a limited volume of hedge selling held wheat in narrow price range on the board of trade to day. Corn futures closed with the best net gains of to 1 cents a bushel; wheat wan off 'A to up V, oats up V to 'A, rye up to , and soybeans unchanged. Weakness of the cotton mar ket and anti-inflation talk by President Roosevelt, Price Ad ministrator Henderson, and Sec retary of Agriculture Wickard failed to phase the grain market. Traders were more impressed by the limited amount of hedge gelling from spring wheat sour ces. Mills gave fair support in early trading on reports that family trade flour business over night may have totaled 100,000 barrels. The navy took between 15,000 and 20,000 barrels in the east. Minneapolis wheat receipts were slightly larger than a week ago, though still far below nor mal. The Modern Miller report ed favorable harvesting weather, with good progress made through major portions of the spring wheat belt. Commission house buying gave strength to the corn mar ket where general interest con tinued light. Local and scattered interests absorbed oats offered by north western houses. Interest in rye was devoted mainly to changing from near to deferred positions. Hop Picking at Independence Independence, Aug. 21 T h e picking of early hops got under way this week with many of the yards starting on Monday. Sev eral of the larger yards will be gin in the next few days. While fair sized crews are re ported at most of the yards, many more pickers arc needed in this district. The price be ing paid this year, $2.50 per hundred pounds, is a higher price paid than In many sea sons and pickers are expected to earn good wages ns the crop mis year is average. Several of the ynrds are work ing short handed In the earlv clusters and fugglcs. Lato pick ing win begin about Septem ber 1st and approximately 4,000 more pickers are needed. Grow ers have organized and are mak ing a state-wide appeal for ad ditional pickers. Many business people have expressed plans to spend vaca Won days in the hop fields and help the Oregon farmers get their crops harvested. Not only will they help out the farmer but they will have pay days each day they are off their regular lobs. The state employment office Is located at Main and C streets and is glad to help anyone iiv terestcd in picking hops. Hob Plcklnr Start.

Time to Spray For Control of Filbert Blight For those filbert orchardislu troubled with filbert blight, it is now time to spray filberts for the control of bud and twig blight, announces Robert E. Rie dcr, county agricultural agent. For this spray we recommend the use of Bordeaux mixture 4-2-50 (4 pounds of copper sul phate, 2 pounds of quick lime, or 2 pounds of hydrated lime, 50 gallons of water). A good spreading agent should be added to the spray mixture to facilitate the coating of the host parts. The spray must be applied be fore the first fall rain occurs if satisfactory control is to be se cured. The spray application should thoroughly cover the trees in addition to being prop erly timed. Spraying is not a cure for filbert blight; it serves only as a measure of protection. The degree of protection afford ed by spraying will be in pro portion to the thoroughness of spray coverage. A film of spray must coat the host parts par ticularly the buds in the axils of the leaves during the criti cal period for infection if satis factory control is to be attained. Further information about the spray program for the control of this disease may be obtained by consulting Oregon extension cir cular 383 entitled "Spraying for the Control of Filbert Blight in Oregon." This bulletin may be obtained by calling or writing the county agent at Salem, Note:, In case Bordeaux spray was used with the lead arsenate sprays for filbert worm, this spray notice can be disregarded. 9-Cent Price For Evergreens Woodburn Evergreen black berries handled by the Wood burn Fruit Growers' association and North Marion Fruit com pany, which will receive the bulk of that crop in this area, have been sold at 9 cents per pound to the growers, their of ficials stated Wednesday. Although yields are running only about 75 per cent of expec tations, 600 or more tons will be handled by the two outfits. Pick ing price in most fields is 3 cents per pound, with 1 cent bonus. Picking will continue possibly another month. The Woodburn Co-op is selling evergreens direct to Hudson Duncan', Portland, and Oregon Fruit Products and Starr, in Sa lem. Some are going to Dundee where Hudson-Duncan is dehy drating them, a new process in this area for blackberries.- North Marion is barreling all receipts at present and has sold in advance most of the expected output, John Ramage, manager, said Wednesday. The concern also has completed this year's purchases of prunes from local growers, agreeing to pay $40 for No. Is and $30 for No. 2s. About 1000 tons are expected, the har vest to open next month.

Tracy dehy drator plant, east of Dallas, which has been processing pota toes on government orders for the past three months, has closed until this year's crop of potatoes is available. The plant operated on a three-shift basis, had an employe payroll of ap proximately 175, Producer gas is being used to run stationary motors in Sweden Prune Men By Government Ukase Long telegrams from the office of price administration in Washington to local prune packers analyzing the situation as to dried fruits prices, and especially as to dried prune prices here and on the coast generally, are making them wonder whether it will be possible for them to han dle dried prunes on the basis laid down, according to a state ment of a local packer today, The several page telegram when digested down by a local packer gives about the following picture on the situation as to 45-50 prunes, others to be fig ured in proportion. The gov ernment will support a price to the growers of $7 a hundred on 45-50s. The telegram states that 3 per cent Is to be deducted for swell which is something that Timely Advice To Save Tires And Casings If your tire goes flat on you this summer, either through a blowout, puncture, or . other cause, stop just as swiflty as you can, and stay stopped until the tire is changed! That is the advice of tire en gineers of The B. F. Goodrich company, a friendly tip to mo torists during the critical tire shortage caused by the war. Why is this? It is because the almost price less casing, in these days of no new tires, may be damaged be yond repair if driven flat, even though the distance travelled is only a few hundred feet. Stop, and you have a good chance to save the tire, have it repaired, and keep the automo bile operating. Run on it while it is flat, the cords and fabric will rupture, no repair will be possible, and the car may have to be laid up. So etiher change the tire your self, then and there, or call a service station or garage to do it for you. Even the extra ex pense will pay if you can save the tire and haveit repaired for further mileage, B. F. Goodrich engineers point out. , Don't take off the -tire and drive on the rim! These env'neers say that such a practice may bend or scar the rim badly, it may even crack or dent the brake drum. Repair ing or replacing these parts in war-time .is difficult, might be impossible, and this too, might result in putting the car out of service. OPA Dodges Responsibility Portland, Aug. 21 (U.R) The Oregon office of price adminis tration, deluged with requests for alleviation of serious short ages throughout the state, today disclaimed responsibility for most and "forwarded" them to companion agencies. The fuel shortage problem was turned over to Brig. -Gen. Brice P. Disque, new northwest fuel chief who has arrived to "take appropriate steps .to avert a threatened coal and wood emerg ency." Simultaneousy, the office call ed a special investigator from Washington, D.C., to study the milk situation, threatening in most communities, and passed the problem over to the war man-power commission. At the moment, the office has shelved the meat shortage ques tion, terming it as "for the most part temporary." But the last of the major shortages tires, the most seri ous of all is still in the hands of the office and is becoming more acute every day. The of' fice has called in regional offi cials in one last effort to narrow the list of cligibles. "It is not a question of essen tial or non-essential users," the office asserted, "but rather, who is the most essential of the es sential users." To make matters worse, the office believes allotments for September may be smaller than those for August. Markets Briefed (By th Unltfd Prpsul Stocks firm in moderate trad; ing.

It is stated the cost in normal times for this is placed at $1.50, but now boxes are double the normal price, as are . nails and other materials, and labor is up from 20 to 25 cents an hour or more over last year, yet, it was pointed out, a 36 cent leeway is given on these items. Consider able difficulty in even securing boxes and nails is contemplated. All of these being figured leaves a price to the government of $8,658 on 45-50 prunes. An extra 5 per cent, or 43.2 cents is allowed to the trade making a total of $9.09. This one packer states the set up makes it virtually impossible for the prunes to be packed on that basis. It is reported that from $35 to $40 a ton has already-been of fered for green prunes by can' ners, but the support price by the government as figured on dried prunes would leave, says the packer, a price of roughly 75 cents a green bushel or $25 a ton for green prunes to be dried, as compared with $1.25 a bushel offered for canning prunes. This prune packer stated that growers as well as packers are much concerned over the situa tion. Hop Markets Show Strength Hop markets on the west coast developed further strength during the week ended August 19, according to the department of agriculture. Prices in the principal producing areas of the three coast states advanced around 5c per pound as com pared with the previous week, to register ne seasonal high points. Prospects for smaller domestic outturns than a year ago, increased production costs, and lack of usual offerings of European . hops, were factors contributing to the stronger mar ket tone. Picking of the new crop was becoming fairly gen eral in the Sacramento valley of California, just beginning in earliest yards in Oregon, and was expected to start in the Yakima valley of Washington the first of next week. Oregon markets were firm and higher.. Trade reports in dicated that some deals were made during the past week at 60c per pound to, growers for regular seeded hops from the 1942 crop. This price repre sented an advance of 5c per pound over quotations for this type during the previous week. While no transactions were re ported on the seedless qualities in Oregon during the period, trade reports indicated a nomi nal price of around 70c per pound to growers for this type, to maintain the spread of about 10c per pound between seeded and seedless hops which has pre vailed recently. Picking was reported to have started in Ore gon yards producing fuggles to ward the close of the period. Growers reported that pickers were reporting in fair numbers thus far, but that some difficulty was. being experienced in ob taining labor for the heavier work around the yards, Some damage was reported from red spider in scattered sections due to high temperatures on some days of the period. 110,326 Bales Hops on Hand Total hops on hand as of July I were 22,066,340 pounds or 110,- 326 bales, accordinr to figures released b,y the hop control board, of which 15,233,239 pounds or 76,168 bales were in the hands of the brewers; 5,757,- 644 pounds or 28,788 bales were in the hands of dealers and 1, 074,457 pounds or 5,372 bales were in the hands of growers. As to years of production these hopes are segregated as follows: Growers' stocks in bales: 1941 crop, 82; 1940, 13; 1939, 15; 1937, 5,165; older growths, 263 bales. Dealers' stocks in bales: 1941 crop, 12.128; 1940, 2,368 19,39, 31; 1938, 13,296; 1937 and older, 1,393. Foreign hops held by dealers, 19,853 pounds The data as to growers was com piled from the records of the control board, as to dealers came from reports from 52 dealers and grower-dealers, and reports as to brewers' holdings came from various federal sources. Patrol System Established in Slayton Area Sheriff Burk was at West Stayton this morning establish ing the patrol system in the bean section which had been delegat ed to his office this year and he is placing Special Deputy Sher iff Kelly in charge for the seas on. Policing the West Stayton bean section during the harvest season has been a more or less hot potato for the county court and enforcement officers for. a number of years, mainly due to some conflicting ideas among the growers themselves as to how they should be policed and also the question of adequate funds and where they should come from. Two years ago the situation was handled by a man delegated from the sheriff's office with his charges being paid from contri butions collected from the grow ers. Last year Constable Earl Adams handled the situation, the county court putting up $100 to cover the expense. This year an appropriation of $200 has been made by the coun ty and the work is being done again under the direction of the sheriff's office. So far, the situation has not been a very difficult one, ac cording to reports, although a few arrests have been made on drunken or disorderly charges and for some other more or less minor law infractions but gen erally speaking the officers have reported the situation to date pretty well in hand. At the sher iff's office it was said today the $200 approrpiated probably is insufficient to carry through the season but it will be applied as far as it will go in an effort to carry through.
