Boston Wool Market Active Washington, March 27 (U.R) The Boston wool market was very active this week in anticipation of expected orders tor wool cloth from the quartermaster corps. Both domestic and foreign wools were in active demand. A purchase of 600,000 pounds of 8 months wool was made in Texas, Some old clip 12 months wools were sold in Texas at a clean price of delivered. Considerable buying of 12 months wool was reported in New Mexico at strong prices. A sealed-bid ottering of 70,000 pounds of good to average staple wool in New Mexico brought bids of 40 to 44 cents.

No sale resulted. Original bag southern California wools bulk tine with an edge of half-blood were bought at a delivered Boston clean price of Prune Ihrips Now Emerging Prune Ihrips are now emerging rapidly in prune orchards. The peak of emergence should be reached by early next week. Spraying should be done at once announces Robert E. Rieder, county agricultural agent.

Since the infestations will vary in individual orchards, prune growers wishing to spray for the control of this pest should examine at least 300 buds at random in their orchard and count the Ihrips present. If there are 90 or more thrips per 100 buds, a spray should be applied immediately, or as soon as the weather will permit. The following spray material is recommended: Nicotine sulfate, 1 pint. Lime sulfur, 3 gallons. Water to make 100 gallons of spray.

1 Thrips are likely to be found on any part of the prune tree. They must be hit by the spray to kill Spraying must therefore be thorough and every part of the tree should be reached. A driving coarse spray with at least 350 pounds pressure is advised by County Agent Rieder, to force the spray into the opening buds, Camporee fo Be Held May 14 Cascade area council, Boy Scouts of America, will sponsor the annual camporee May 14, 15 and 16 in Salem with Harry Scott, camping activity chairman, in charge of the affair. The usual program of scouting activities will be included in the three-day program. Lyle L.

Leighton, who took over the position of scout executive for the area recently, plans to visit the five area districts as soon as possible. The first Domestic hop markets remained quiet during the past four weeks with prices aU eastern centers holding steady and unchanged, the department of agriculture reports. The principal feature of the hop situation, and of the greatest importance to producers, was the announcement during the past week that hops have been placed on the list of essential commodities. Two other decisions, however, are being awaited anxiously by the entire industry. One is regarding the release of older growths, particularly 1940 stocks, for which price ceiling revisions have been asked.

The other anticipated announcement is with regard to expected OPA ceilings on the 1943 crop. It is considered possible that 1943 ceiling prices may be announced around the first of May, although no definite date has been indicated. Reports from growers indicate that the acreage of hops under cultivation this season may depend to some extent upon the ceiling price levels decided upon, because of uncertainty regarding production costs. Oregon hop markets developed some moderate activity in contracting of 1943 supplies by growers in this state. While accurate figures were not available, it was reported that a number of contracts were written in Oregon during the past four weeks, for future delivery from the prospective 1943 crop.

These contracts provide for the payment to growers of the ceiling price for 1943 hops, as announced by the OPA for that growth and basis. Most growers however, were inclined lo await the announcement of specific maximum prices before making commitments. Trade reports indicate that it will be around two weeks before definite- information wil be available regarding the root condition of the Oregon hop yards in general, although the few reports received thus far indicate good root condition. Hop acreage in Oregon is expected to show but little change this year, although the number of acres under cultivation is still somewhat uncertain. No contracts were reported in Washington hop producing districts during the past month.

Growers in the Puyallup Valley are generally awaiting annouce-ment of 1943 price ceilings'. The acreage to be cultivated in the Puyallup valley this year may be slightly less than last season because of the shortage of labor, and also may depend to some extent upon the levels at which price ceilings are placed.

Boston Police Heads Indicted Boston, March 27 Ml Seven Boston police officials, including Commissioner Joseph Timtilty and Superintendent Ed ward W. Fallon, were indicted today by a special Suffolk coun ty grand jury on charges of conspiracy lo permit the operation of gaming houses and the regis tration of bets. Timulty appeared before the jury yesterday as did Dr. Harry J. Sagansky, now serving a pri son sentence for operating a $90,000,000 pool.

Besides Timulty and Fallon, those named in the indictment which was reported lo Chief Justice John P. Hlggins, were; Deputy Superintendent James R. Claflin, Deputy Superintendent John M. Anderson, Captain John A. Dorsey, Captain Ed ward J.

Keating and Sergeant Arthur Eunson. The men were arraigned be fore Chief Justice Higgins. As the indictment clerk began to read the charges contained in the indictment, Altornev Fran cis Leahy, counsel for Timulty, asked that the reading of the complaint be waived and this was granted against all the de fendants. All pleaded innocent. The seven defendants were released in $2,000 ball each, personal for trial on Monday morning.

Asks Prosecution For Defective Steel Washington, March 27 (U.B Sen. Harry S. Truman (D Mo.) today asked Attorney General Francis Biddle to take action against the United States Steel or Individuals "regarding Ihe falsification of records and testings" of defective steel plate supplied for war uses. In a letter to Biddle, Truman said that he had made available lo the department of justice all files, evidence and data on the matter gathered by his special senate committee investigating the war program. Officials ot the corporation admitted at a healing of the committee, last Tuesday that detective steel plate had been turned out by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel company, a subsidiary.

Steps have been taken lo correct this situation, they said. Sale Prices High Scio Average price of cows at the Owens auction sale'near Lebanon a few days ago is reported as approximately $173. Scioans attending the sale state that all kinds of farm machinery, regardless of condition, brought surprisingly high prices. No sheep were offered. led the frenzy displayed in some Ohio cities today.

At Columbus, where customers lines began forming as early as 1:30 a.m., 18 policemen were sent to one market to control the crowd. And in Cleveland an estimated 50,000 persons milled around three major markets, delaying street car traffic from 20 minutes to an hour, and bringing from Frank C. Jeroski, city commissioner of markets, the observation that "people have just gone crazy." There, as elsewhere, many were disappointed. There simply wasn't enough meat to 'go around. In fact, some markets didn't even open.

Many officials look the view that some people were buying more than they needed and that much of it would spoil before it could bo used. In Chicago, Dr. Herman N. Bundoscn, board of health president for that city, cautioned housewives that home refrigeration may not be cold enough for meat storage, and packers, echoing that view, urged people "to cat what meat you have now." Predictions from some sectors that no meat would be available when rationing begins were countered by reports from other areas of steps to assure supplies Monday morning. Now Yorkers, for instance, were promised a shipment of 1,000,000 pounds under emergency arrangements completed by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardian and the regional OPA office.

Usually-busy Washington market, in New York, the city's chief wholesale meat distribution center, was virtually deserted today. An OPA order at Atlanta last week permitting Increased slaughtering in 62 counties in the southeastern region brought reports today ot a "considerable easing" of the meat shortage. All of today's heavy buying was not confined to meat, however. Chicago reported a great run on fish at its Fulton street wholesale market and fresh fish isn't even rationed. Most western cities, where a meat scarcity has kept butchers' counters clean for several weeks, a buying rush that had run through the week was still on at shops where -meat was available.

Klamath Basin Will Plant Heavily The Klamath basin will experience the heaviest plantings of potatoes in history this season if present indications hold, Director J. D. Mickle of the slate department of agriculture reported Friday morning upon return from Klamath Falls and southern Oregon points. Based on present conditions, fruit men In the Rogue river valley predict a bumper crop for this fall though this outlook could be upset easily by severe rains or heavy frosts. Mickle said that as near as he could tell, there has been some shifting ot dairy cattle in the section of the stale he has just visited, but that the general production of dairy products is up to last year's huge volume.

A shrinkage in butter output has been compensated for by increase In cheese production, the shift to cheese being marie because the price is more fav orable. Burbanks Shipped For Seed Purposes Lebanon. March 27 liny Filzwaler of the Tennessee district has shipped out ot Lebanon the first carload of certified Oregon Burbank seed potatoes. Vrcy few seed potatoes have been grown In Linn county the past 20 years, and these have been mostly used locally. Certain lands here, according to Filzwaler, are ideally suited for growing the crop.

Prior to U)20 he used to contract for considerable amounts of seed potatoes to be shipped out of Lebanon. His shipment was declared by government inspectors to be about as perfect as any they had inspected. Mr. Filzwaler has mure potatoes and Willis Carter also has a few of Ihe certified Burbanks, but these be sold locally, he said. The potato growing industry is looking up here since the new Spencer Packing company dehydrator is to be operated this coming year.

Thumm of Baltimore told the house military affairs committee today that his gross earnings as a manufacturers' agent in 1942 were approximately $333,000. His gross earnings in 1941 for representing eight machine tool manufacturers in war contracts negotiations, he said, were $212,784. Thumm testified that while he had thus far actually received only $174,952 tor 1942, commissions on filled and negotiated contracts would bring his 1942 earnings to approximately $333,000.

He appeared before the committee in connection with hearings on proposed legislation to make manufacturers' agents referred to by members of the committee as "war brokers" subject to contract renegotiation laws, just as are war plants. Thumm contended that the firms he represented could not afford to keep full-time representatives in Baltimore.
