NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939. PAGE SEVEN WITH THE MALHEUR COUNTY FARMERS SEED CORN GROWERS FORM ORGANIZATION Temporary organization of the Oregon Certified Hybrid Seed Corn Growers' association was recently completed at a meeting of interest ed growers with staff members of the farm crops department at Ore gon State college. Permanent or ganization is planned at the time of the state com show in Corvallis Nov. 27 to Dec. 1. Much interest is being shown in hybrid corn growing but expansion is expected to be much more rapid when local seed of hybrids devel oped for Oregon conditions is avail able. To provide and safeguard such a supply is the purpose of the nec organization, the officers say. A. C. Heyman, Albany, is temporary president and Dr. R. E. Fore, O. S. C., temporary secretary. Attend Game— Mr. and Mrs. George Mitchell were among those from Nyssa who took In the Idaho-Utah game at Boise on Saturday. They remained over for Sunday. Something New for Men!

STOCK AND GRAIN MARKETS (Editor's Note: The following market information is supplied from material obtained over the Government leased market wire in the office of the extension economist at Oregon state college, The material is in the form of a weekly summary of trends in the livestock market and is not intended to replace spot day by day market reports.) A fairly large run of cattle was reported at North Portland Mon day, when 2300 head were received and all were available tor sale. The market was generally steady, al though trading was slow. Most grain-fed steers ranged from $8.85 to $9.25, while grass-fed steers weihing under 1050 pounds were quoted at $7.50 to $8.50. The prices at San Francisco ranged between $8.50 and $9.00, with one lot slight ly higher, while at Chicago, best 1300-pound steers brought around $10.65. _______ The average condition of'cattle in the 17 western range states did not change during September. In gen eral cattle in areas where ranges were good improved, and declined rather sharply where drouth condi tions prevailed. Although ranges were rather poor all summer gen erally, cattle are in fairly good con dition, and only in the worst areas in the drouth states are there any really thin cattle. Good prices and rather poor range prospects have resulted in a rather heavy early shipment of cattle from some areas. In the few states where ranges are about average and feed supplies are ample, there is some tendency to increase numbers. Sheep and Lamb Markets Only 1500 head of sheep and lambs were available for sale at North Portland Monday morning, resulting in the market holding steady to strong. Good to choice lambs moved at mostly $8, while some 85-pound fed lambs brought $8.50. Feeder lambs were quoted at $6.50 to $7. San Francisco reported a steady market but Chicago was weaker. Trading f.o.b. county points last week was very limited as most of the lambs had already found an outlet. A few slaughter lambs in northern Utah were contracted at $8.50. The condition of sheep showed a small improvement during Septem ber. There was some improvement in all states except the Pacific coast states and Texas. Contracting of feeder lambs in September was fair ly heavy after prices advanced. The number of feeder lambs shipped in to the corn belt since August 1 has been relatively large. Winter sheep ranges are short over all or parts of most of the range states, and rather heavy feed ing of concentrates may be neces sary in some areas. Hog Markets Hog prices continued a downward tendency at North Portland on Monday, when 2250 head were available for sale. The market clos ed around 25c lower than Friday with good to choice daughter hogs bringing $6.75 to $6.85. Choice light feeder pigs brought $7.25. Average hog prices were reduced about 25c in San Francisco while at Chicago the market was slow and generally 15 to 25c lower. Top prices at Chi cago for 200 to 300-pound slaughter hogs were $7 to $7.15.

(Places advertised) the past week, with many Inquiries to feel out the market but few pur chases. Low bids made in connec tion with these inquiries uncover ed little wool available at shaded prices. On the other hand, owners of most wools did not, on the whole, revise asking prices and are unwill ing to make more than very mod erate concessions. The present situation is, to some extent, considered a reaction against the recent sharp advance when do mestic wool prices in September climbed to the highest level since early 1937. The weekly rate of mill consumption of apparel wool in the United States in August was 12 per cent higher than In July, which was the highest rate reported since March, 1937. This increase has been accom panied by larger imports. Because stocks of wool in the United States are now relatively small and mill consumption is expected to continue at a fairly high level, a considerable increase in imports of apparel wool may occur before the 1940 domestic clip becomes available. Origin of United States imports of wool dur ing the European war may be ma terially changed as a result of the agreement by which England will purchase all of the Australian and New Zealand clip not required for domestic consumption. rubber tarpaulin and is successful when temperatures are sufficiently high to diffuse the gas. This method may not be practical because of the limited quantity of hay which can be fumigated at any one time. In addition to the fumigation of baled hay, it is also possible to fum igate chopped alfalfa hay when temperature and other conditions are satisfactory. However, it Is al ready possible to ship chopped hay when it has been run through a hammer mill at a proper ^speed. Chopped hay of this kind can be shipped out at any time of the year. It appears that the shipping prob lem of the local alfalfa grower has been at least partially solved In sofar as the alfalfa weevil quaran tine is concerned. However, the lack of a market outside of the county to coast points is preventing any movement of hay under the fumi gation or chopping provision at this time according to R. M. McKennon, county agent. A possible market may develop on the coast later In the season. Any shippers who want to send hay to the coast market should get In touch with either the county agent or with Hugh Tay lor, local representative of the State Department of Agriculture for com plete information on procedure to obtain fuimgation permits. . quest of Snake River valley growers.

This purchase is an addition to 30 carloads which were purchased earlier in the month and which have already been shipped. Onion growers met at the city hall in Vale on Wednesday evening, Oc tober 25, at the call of R. M. Mc Kennon, county agent, to allocate the fifty car purchase among them selves. The F S C.

On ions delivered must be U. S. No. 1 with a 2-inch minimum size. Another development of interest to onion growers is notice of a hear ing with respect to a proposed mar keting agreement and proposed or der regulating the handling of on ions grown in southern Idaho coun ties and in Malheur county.

Mal heur county hay growers and j granges have contributed to the ex- j penses of the experimental work along with Baker county growers, the Oregon Experiment Station and the Oregon State Department of Agriculture. The experimental pro ject which was started late in August, will continue through No vember under the supervision of Floyd Stephenson, entomologist em ployed by the State Department of Agriculture to carry out the de tails of the test. On October 18 the State Depart ment issued an order which will permit the shipment of baled hay under a fumigation certificate. The fumigation of baled alfalfa hay, using one pound of methyl bromide per 1000 cubic feet in gas tight box cars for 24 hours at 65 degrees F., has killed alfalfa weevil 100%. Un der these conditions Malheur and Baker counties may move hay now when fumigated under supervision. Continued experiments are being I conducted to determine what varia- I tions may be possible using con trolled heat in box cars and in spe cially built fumigation chambers yet to be constructed. If there were a demand for a sub- j stantial quantiy of baled alfalfa hay from this county it is apparent that fumigation In specially built gas •lght chambers with controlled heat might be the most economical and I satisfactory method of meeting shipping requirements.
