Need Pickers
For Filberts
Ordinarily the Salem employ
ment office takes the filbert1
picking season "in stride," but
this year appears to be an ex-j
ception, stated W. H. Baillie,
manager, Tuesday as he issued
a call for additional pickers.
A half dozen growers who1
appeared at the South Cottage
and Ferry street office of the!
employment service Tuesday
morning, returned to their homes
without a single worker.
The filbert crop is reported
good and growers are paying
two and three cents a pound for
picking.
From Hood River comes the
report that apple pickers are in
demand there with camping
privileges available at many or
chards. However, pickers must
provide their own cooking fa
cilities as well as bedding.
Oregon Wool Sale
Set for Wednesday
Portland, Ore., Sept. 20 (U.l
The first local test of economic
trends since the devaluation of
the English pound is expected
Wednesday with the opening of
bids on 5,000,000 pounds of
Oregon wool.
Buyers expected that prices
might be down 10 to 20 percent
compared to last week's quota
tions bcause of devaluations in
the sterling countries including
competitive Australia.
In the longer run, some north
west lumber dealers were appre
hensive lest Canada's 10-cent de
valuation of the Canadian dollar
softens the already soggy lum
ber market.
Malt and flour industries in
Oregon also expected some set
backs but until the foreign price
picture clarifies the doubts were
all speculative.
Farm Income Now
Exceeds Lumber
Hillsboro, Ore., Sept. 20 W
Farm income now is more im
portant to Oregon than lumber
ing, previously regarded as the
No. 1 Industry In the state.
So asserted Lowell Steen, pre
sident of the Oregon farm bu
reau federation at a regional
meeting of the organization here
yesterday.
He told the 75 delegates from
northwestern Oregon counties
that farm income had outstrip
ped lumbering in recent years.
The delegates drew up a series
of resolutions to be presented at
the state convention of the fed
eration in La Grande, Nov.
14-16.

thorities through remote area?
of the Idaho Panhandle and
western Montana yesterday,
then said he was too "confused"
to find the grave he claims holds
the body of John O. Pinson, am
other escaped prisoner.
William Benson clung stead
fast, however, to his story that
Pinson was shot as the two fled
the Oregon penitentiary at Sa
lem May 30 and that he buried
him in the area.
But his Inability to find the
grave strengthened belief of po
lice that Pinson is alive. They
say he has been identified "posi
tively" from pictures as being
the Joseph Anthony Dorian now
being sought in Idaho for armed
robbery.
Benson, who was recaptured
in Columbus, Ohio, two weeks
ago, returned here with officers
last night.
