Record Number of Workers Placed CORVALL1S, July 27 (TP) A record number of 30,800 place ments of farm workers was made by Oregon county farm labor of fices In June, J. R. Beck, state farm labor supervisor, said to day. This exceeds by more than 14,000 the placements made In June Inst year. Adult men workers accounted for more than 27,000 of the placements, primarily due to the largo number of Mexican nation als Drought into Oregon for agri cultural work. At the same time, nenrly 7000 boys and girls and almost 2000 women were placed in farm jobs. 1 1 PILES . SUCCESSFULLY TREATED NO PAIN . NO IIOSNTAMZATION No Lou of Thnt Pirminonl Roioltil OR. E. M. MARSHA Oalropraotlo Pbrilolu Its No. Tib Klqolro Tbiltri BtSs Phono IMS Br STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON, July 27 CP) The first war agency head to liquidate his own bureau, Rub ber Director Bradley Dewey, declared today that this coun try's new $750,000,000 synthe tic rubber Industry will survive Into tha peacetime era. Dewey, who yesterday an nounced his own resignation and the dissolution of his office on or before September 1. said tho Industry now was producing at tho full -rate recommended by tho Baruch committee nearly two years ago about 830,000 tons a year. This is some 250, 000 tons more than the coun try's consumption o f natural rubber before the war. "I can not see any capitalist planting rubber trees and wait ing seven years, for them to grow," said Dewey, " against u future of unknown labor costs In competition with chemists wnp nave won every battle they over entered between syn thetics and nature." For a period after the war synthetic rubber probably will bo one or two cents cheaper than crude rubber, he said, and thereafter may run a few cents higher than the natural pro duct. Dewey's sixth and final pro gress report on the rubber pro gram disclosed the agency is turning back 35 per cent of Its funds to the treasury for the current fiscal year. Besides meeting military needs and pro ducing an estimated 22,000,000 passenger car tires this year, Dewey said, a stockpile of 104, 000 tons of synthetics has been built up. Dewey's exit, to return to the presidency of Dewey and Almy Chemical company, Cambridge, Mass., overshadowed another major rubber development the disclosure that a deep cut in heavy truck and bus tire rations must be instituted on August 1. Although 495,000 tires were scheduled for rationing distribu tion in July, August and Sep tember, only 230,000 tires now remain available for the three month period. Wage Stabilization Board Named for Oregon Farms Responsibility for the wage stabilization in Oregon agricul ture has been given to a wage board recommended by Dean Schocnfeld and appointed by Colonel Philip G. Bruton, direc tor of labor, war food adminis tration. This board Is composed of the following members: Carl Izctt, chairman, assistant state supervisor of the office of distribution, WFA. William E, Klmsey, state labor commissioner. Verne F. Llvcsay, state direc tor farm security administration. N, I. Ntelson, agricultural stat istician, bureau of agricultural economics, - E. L. Potter, department of agriculture economist, Corvallis. John Shepherd, vice chairman state AAA committee. E. L. Peterson, director of agri culture for the state of Oregon. This board has appointed Leo D. Hollenbcrg as executive offi cer with his office in room 784, Plttock block In Portland. Field offices have been set ud In Pen dleton and Eugene with James o. bager in Charge of the Pendle ton office and Frank W. Squire In charge of the Eugene office. Chester Preston will do field .work out of the Portland office Authority to stabilize agricul tural wages was established un der the anti-Inflation act of Octo ber 2, 1942, according to Hollen berg, but was not exercised un til 1943 when farm wages made the greatest rise ever recorded In a year s time, with the Pacific states 36 per cent higher than In iu42 ana 10a per ceni over ine 1935-1939 average. Thus far specific wage ceilings have been applied only to the harvesting of peas in Malheur county. California placed ceil ings on the harvesting of aspara gus, picking of canning tomatoes. picking of sun-dried grapes and the picking of cotton in 1943 and have several others now operat ing In the 1944 crops. Florida put the entire citrus crop under ceiling last year. Success In keeping wage rates at reasonable levels and m hold ing to a minimum the pirating of workers among farmers was cited by the chairman as a strong factor in trie expected extension ot celling regulations to other crops and operations, particular ly since the lurtner extension of OPA ceiling prices to cover most, of the commodities that fanners will have to sell makes it neces sary that farmers protect them selves against unreasonable rises in production costs, of which la bor Is often the largest item. "Since it is the policy of the war food administration to pre vent inflationary wage increases in agriculture, it Is highly desir able that farmers take immediate steps to suggest ways and means or accompnsning.inis ena, - hoi lenberg declared. "It is the wish of tho WFA and the Oregon state An executive committee of the 4-H and FFA Junior 'Live stock show met and set the dates for the ninth annual Klam ath Junior Livestock : show which will be held September 24 and 25. In attendance for this purpose were Ed Geary. Fred Peterson, L. A. West, C. A. Henderson and Ucorge Peters. ' ; This show Is sponsored by the Klamath Falls Rotary club, and offers many opportunities for 4-H and FFA members throughout Klamath county in that they are able to participate in special contests relating to tneir livestock projects, unese coys and girls not only win fine awards but also gain valu able knowledge in general live stock work and among other things gain experience In lit- ting, showmanslno. herdsman- ship and the feeding of their animals to a point of good con dition for qualification in the auction sale. Wallace Eyed to Head Food Group WASHINGTON. July 27 (Pi- Vice President Wallace was sug gested in official quarters today as a possible head for a post war International organization to stabilize prices and -supplies 01 food and farm products. Such an organization- was ad vocated by the United Nations food conference held at Hot Snrings. Va.. a year ago. A re port on a proposed constitution for it is expected within two weeKs. wage board that farmer-groups within tne state help develop and administer programs that will prevent agricultural wages from getting out or line." Elaborating on the regulations mai weni into euect on January 17, 1944, Hollenberg said that all agricultural wages above $2400 per year are frozen, requiring WFA approval before increases can be made. Increase up to 52400 at the rate of. '$200. per month can be made without ar proval,.he aid, unless.a specific wage or salary ceiling applying 10 ine woricers job is m effect in the area where the'worker is employed, in which . case the worker can receive no more than the ceiling rate, which may amount to more or; less than $2400. Jurisdiction over salaries and wages in agriculture above $5000 annually is vested in the bureau of internal revenue. Weekly Market Trend HEdltor'a Nat: Tha follAwin marital Information U upplief from material obtained over the government leased wire In the office of the extension economlit at Oregon State college. The material. In the form of a weekly sum mary of trend! In the livestock market, la not Intended to replace ipot day by day market reports.) LIVESTOCK MARKETS Heavy ofieMnK of livestock were re ported In all divisions at North Port land on Monday, July 24, but trading ranged from very slow on cattle to active on hogs. Some good grass steers sold up to $15,75, hut most of the sales were on a nasis or sis to 91 oood to choice sorlne iambs were about steady at 911.50 to $12, but common kinds were very slow witn no interest in feed ers. At the close of last week good to choice (W-pound lambs were not selling above (13.50 at San Francisco and In last Monday's trading, July 24, S13 was considered toD there. Prices of homi at North Portland advanced 25 to 50 cent from the close 01 the previous week with 170 to 270 pound hogs in carloads going at $15, Increased costs of Com. har. and protein supplement materially decreased cattle feeders' returns this past winter and spring from those of the previous three years. Bureau ot agricultural economics figures show that the feeder's margin m tne corn oeit in 104.V44 was less than half what It was In either of the two previous seasons and only about 80 per cent what It was In 1940-41. This has tended to discourage feeding operations with the result that numbers in feed lots this spring and summer are less than usual. Demand for such cattle rontinued strong, however, and prices firm. During the past month choice steers have been selling at Chicago at around 17.50. That is the highest price paid for choice steers in 24 years and the highest ever paid at this season of the year. Marketinas of Brass cattle are Increasing rapidly and make up a larger man average proportion oz ine current supply. This tends to depress the price of these offerings. Follow tnu several weeks of declining prices the midwest stocker and feeder market has leveled off on a steady basis. AH points reported scarcities of real good and choice grades, generally quality averaging below normal for this season 01 tne year. - Demand has been reliable for steers weighing over 800 pounds, but hardly broad enough to absorb the abundant supplies of common to low good lighter weight s toe Jeers, most of which have sold from (8 to $11.50. In fact, a great many of these little graasers went into slaughter channels. Country outlets have been narrow for cows and heifers except In the case of good fleshy yearling feeder, some of which have sold at sii to S1I.25. Cattle and calf slaughter In the first rive months ox 1B44 has been much larger . than In the first Dart of 1043. However, slaughter was about normal in relation to totals numoers on farms. WOOL MARKETS - The - Boston wool market continued active and a little broader in scope during the week ending July 22, and three-eighths wools, for the first time airce January, were in active demand. Sales of fine and half-breed staple and fine and half-blood French combing Utah choice wools were made. Fine staole sold at 49A cents: the- fine French at 46.8 cents; the half-blood staDie at 50.7 cents, and the average staple half-blood at 49.1 cents, grease basis. CONSTRUCTION OF CANAL AT CENTER BEGINS TULELAKE Construction on an irrigation canal that will pro vide water for use in the residen tial area of the Japanese segre gation center has been author ized by the WHA office at Wash ington D. C, and crews are work ing two shifts a day to permit the waterway to be completed In time for late plantings of gardens and flowers within the area this season. Paul G. Robertson, assistant project director in charge of operations, reports that two drag lines and a carry-all are being employed to speed up the work. Distribution of water within the colony area will depend on the cooperation of the residents. It is planned to run laterals off the main canal through the cen ter, Japanese residents of the various blocks to be responsible for digging ditches to their own barracks' grounds. The canal will provide water also for land scaping the administration staff housing area.
