THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1931 PAGE TEN TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS DAIRY PRODUCE STEADY; BERRY 125 GARS OF BLACK CHERRIES TO BE SHIPPED WHEAT SCORES SHARP ADVANCE ON CROP SCARE 6 -9. Apricots atendy, standard lie; choice 14-14c: extra choice 15c Hop Crop Threatened By Heavy Infestation Of Downy Mildew Only possible favorable breaks in the weather as the season advances may stand in way of virtually a total loss of the Oregon hop crop or such a big percentage of it as to make and the second year of its appear The Willamette valley, barring bad weather breaks, will ship from 125 to 150 cars of black cherries this year as compared to 74 last year, according to an estimate by L. W. Wells, black cherry shipiier, who was in Salem Tuesday on his way to Eugene to line up the deal there. Eugene cherries are shipped by him to Salein and pre-cooled in the Terminal Ice Cold Storage plant here from where he handles his deal and pre-cools all cherries he ships east.

The Eugene tonnage he places at about 15 cars, the same as last year. Valley cherries from present appear, ance should be of very high quality this year and Rood size. He also expects to handle a large tonnage from this district. "I am in daily touch with a shlp- I per of tlie Consolidated Fruit com pany shipping out oi cainornia ana he estimates there will be 1200 cars shipped out of California this season. The week-end rain he figures did about a 15 percent damage to the crop down there and it Is still showery with p.vssibllity of greater damage being done at any time.

The California fruit is smaller this tea-son, due to lack of molsti re up to the recent rains. "Yakima and Wenatchee look for about the same crop as last year In both districts. At Lewlston we look for a few more cherries than last year. Last year about 250 cars went out and this year It Is estimated there will be from 260 to 265. Mil-ton-Preewaier shipped 60 cars last vear and it looks like fully as many this year.

The Dalles shipped 38 cars last year and 40 cars are looked for this year. It Is expected Milton-Freewater and The Dalles will start shloying about June 12. Kennewick expects to start the 6ame time but the crop there will be so small It Is believed It will all be handled in less than carlot shipments. That's about the way we size up the situation from iiersonal inspections and Information secured by correspondence." AIRPLANE DUSTING FOR PEA WEEVIL Portland Control of the Austrian winter Held pea weevil by airplane dusllng will be tried out on the J. M.

Smith farm near Corvallis this week. The weevils are feeding now on the leaves and blossoms of the peas and it is expected dusting the plants with poison will kill the adult beetles. The work will be done early in the morning so the dust may settle like fog. HOOVER FINDS FAYORABLEFACTORS (Continued from page 1) hind to discuss additional details. Last Friday the cabinet remained in session mull 1 p.m., giving rise to reports that it had given detailed consideration to the business situation.

A denial of these reports was made by the White House at that time. Since the beginning of the business depression Mr. Hoover has refrained from making any comments or prophecies concerning its possible duration. After Issuing the brief statement the White House declined to discuss the matter any further or explain Its significance. ance the crop Is lost.

It looks as though Oregon hopmen may be faced with the same thing In the second year of downy mildew Infestation here. "In Germany, In England, In Canada the same phases were gone through. In Germany millions of dollars were spent In trying to combat the downy mildew. Scientists were put to work on It, the government furnished sprayers and spray and all the grower had to do was to put It on. Endless experiments were made with various means of fighting the downy mildew.

It all came back to the one answer to pick off the spikes and use Bordeaux. We may as well take advantage of the expensive experiments In other countries and fight the downy mildew in the same way and save our money because it looks as though the hop growers may need It before this Is over with. "The downy mildew now is prevalent In virtually all yards except some upland yards which seem to have escaped it for some reason, and It all depends on the weather as to whether we have a hop crop at all this year. Spraying Is going on generally but it remains to be seen with what effective results. There are a number of yards I am certain are virtually gone now.

"In those yards where training was done early and the arms have gone over tlie wires downy mildew is appearing on the arms and they will not develop. Where the main vine Is Just getting up toward the wire downy mildew Is appearing on the main arms and showing spikes. These hops 'are pretty much up against It. I am going to train my hops as late as possible as hops which I trained up last June produced pretty wejl for me and escaped the downy mildew and It is worth trying again this year. It is certain the early trained hops are having a hard time of It.

"Downy mildew thrives in a hu midity from 90 to 100 and we are In the midst of a period of humidity favorable to downy mildew and the hops are not growing, which Is fur ther favorable to its spread. If we had a good rain, followed by hot weather so the hops would grow and humidity drop down to around 40 where it belongs, the hops would start growing, the downy mildew would not spread, and we would have a chance for a crop. But even then rain at tile wrong time In Au gust might still destroy the crop. As I said it Is no use trying to estimate a crop now. But one thing is pretty sure, If we do not get some favorable weather breaks and In pretty good season, the chances for there being any kind of a crop to speak of In Oregon are rather re mote.

This I am certain of from all the Information I have been able to pick up from hop men and growers from over the valley." Jersey Auction Delias (LP) An auction sale of eight selected purebred bulls, each from a silver medal dam and representing some of the finest blood in lines In the Jersey breed, will be a feature of the 14th annual Polk county Jersey Jubilee, to be held June 4, according to J. K. Beck, county agent. This will be the first auction sale In connection with the annual Jubilee, and if successful, it mav be continued. Beck said.

the crop negligible says Arch Jer- man, big hop grower of the section. Jerman has talked with most of the hopmcn and leading growers from various sections and has examined many yards. "It Is Impossible to make any estimate of the crop due to downy mildew conditions," he stated. "But these conditions right now are very bad and weather couldn't be more favorable to spread of downy mildew than right now. "It Is the history of this downy mildew in every country It has attacked that the first year the growers stumble through and get a crop MARKET SLUMP FOLLOWS RALLY THEN RECOVERS New York (LP) The stock market Tuesday staged Its best rally since May 8, reversed Itself and then rallied for an Irregular close.

Buittr trade appears to be holding up fairly veil In practically all sections of the country with little, if any, material change In the price list. While receipts from the country are gaining somewhat in the local territory, there has been practically no lncrea.se of offerings of city manufacture. Survey of the tion Indicates that the country Is more than holding its own In production while centralizers are los-In. Coast markets in general were generally with hi a price change during recent days. Very quiet trading tone Is reflected in the market for eggs.

No change In the price is reported but the movement Is unusually slow. The movement into store is being iorced. Cent a pound has been generally added to the buying price of live chickens by leading killers here with light hens at 13 cents, medium at 15 centfi, and heavy stuff at least 18 cents pound. Demand is food at the advance. Market for strawberries received a very bad backset for the day with an unusually heavy Increase of of ferings.

RAIN BADLY NEEDED FOR STRAWBERRIES Strawberry growers have nov Joined the procewion of fanners who are praying for rain and some of them say If rain doesn't come and there is much hot weather it ipill cut the crop down considerably shorter than has been predicted.

In lact some of then there are al ready indications of nubbins being In sight which would be converted Into real berries by a rain. JSuch a rain, say some of the growers, would multiply the rrop possibly by two or three times. While It would dnmage many ripe berries now on the vines it would be more than made up bv an increase In production of the later berries. Some berries which came in from the over Sunday pick showed effects of the hot sun but good quality is nevertheless bring tJiown in a food percentage of the deliveries.
