LOCAL WHEAT MARKET

Question If Coast Prices Are

The farmers, the mills in Salem anC
commission houses in the city are al
up in the air ON grain prices today, dut
to the fact that the government place.

markets today quoted no price, await

to whether Portland and Pacific coas
cities might be made primary markets
or whether the whole country would q

1920.
Should Chicago be the only primary
market, this would mean the loca
market for hard wheat would be 81
cents less per bushel as il requires
this figure to deliver wheat in Chicago
And as the valley wheat is generally
quoted at ten cents less than harC
wheat, there would be a price of 4C
cents less than the Chicago price fol

IN SEATTLE SHIPYARDS
If Managers Maintain Present
Position Strike VIII Start
Wednesday

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 31.-Twelve
thousand organized Seattle ship yard
workers will go on strike Wednesday
morning, September 5, tying up TIE in
dustry here, unless three of the largest
companies of the city coneede their de-
mands for a higher wage scale before
that time. This decision was reached
at conference of the officers of all
unions affiliated with the Seattle Metal
Trades Council held at the labor temple
at nine O'Clock this morning.
A final attempt to avert the strike
will be made at O'Clock this after
scheduled to meet with the heads of the
three great companies.
If the companies maintain their pres
ent position, that they are unable to
pay the increased wages without or
ders from the United States Shipping
Board, the committee will serve the
strike notice.
The meeting, which lasted until al
most noon today, considered every
phase of the situation and finally decid.
ed to wait for the action of the United
States Shipping Board special commits,
sion of adjustment, now en- route here.
Committees Statement.
The press committee issued the fol.
lowing statement at the conclusion Of
the meeting:
AT an executive meeting of the Of
ficers of the Metal Trades Council held
Friday at a. m, it was unanimously
decided to instruct the conference com
mittee to notify Immediately all com
Ipanies which have not agreed to the de-
mands of August l, that general strike
will be called Wednesday, September 5.
This action has been forced upon
the Metal Trades Council by the failure
to reach agreements after six weeks ne
gotiation."
The agreement has already been sign
ed by the Skinner and Eddy corporation
one of the largest plants in the city
and no strike will be called in this
plant.
The three largest plants affected are
the Ames Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.,
Seattle Drydock and Construction COM
pany and the J. T. Duthie and company
These plants employ more than 10000
workmen.
All of the plants are working on
government bottoms. They are not per-
mitted, under their contracts, to raise
wages without the permission Of the
United States Shipping Board.

Portland, Or, Aug. 3l.-Oregon fug-

cents yesterday. The McCleary crop at
Silverton, amounting to something less

Bears Make Successful
Raid On Market Today

New York, Aug. 31-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today

Prices in today's securities market
broke from two to six points in a

a turnover exceeding half a million

advantage was taken Of the absence
of many traders TO start a bear raid.

DENNIS ASKS FOR
WORK OF DEFENSE

Replying to Bruce Dennis, director
of work for the Oregon division of the
National Council of Defense, from
whom he received letter Saturday
urging that a local Patriotic Service
League be appointed at once, County
Judge l.. N. Blowers announced that
steps had already been taken in Hood
River county, and that at present the
time more than so prominent men of
the town and valley, organized as
special deputy sheriifs and home
guard. While Judge Blowers stated
in his reply to Mr.. Dennis that he con-
sidered that the local situation was
being we'll cared for, he assured the
Defense Council director that he had
the full cooperation of local men.
Mr.. Dennis letter in part was as
follows:
''The State Council of Defense is
now squared away for active work and
it is the wish of the Council that COM
plete cooperation may be had with all
counties of the state.
In order to accomplish results such
as are needed in this critical time,
each county must have Patriotic Ser
vice League composed of prominent,
loyal citizens to work in conjunction
with the State Council.
with Russia breaking down in the
great world war the United States
takes over an added load and from now
on the business of every man, woman
and child in this nation is the business
of assisting to win this war.
There is so much to be done that it
behooves everyone to work and work
fast. Nothing can be accomplished
unless we have an organization reach
ing into every county of the state"

JUDGE GANTENBEIN
UNSETTLED IN PLAN

/. Judge Calvin u. Gantenbein, of the
circuit courts, who returned last week
to Portland to attend the funeral of
his wife who passed away unexpected
ly from heart trouble, is due back at
the reserve officers training camp at
the Preside August IA. He will be
present for the final examination to be
given the men who have trained. Be-
yond this he has made no plans for the
future, he says.
AS soon as possible there will be a
conference among the relatives as to
arrangements for helping Judge Gan
tenbein plan for the care of his five
little children, who are left mother
less. 1t may be that he will give up
his commission as colonel in the
reserve army in order to stay in Port
land with his little ones.
The funeral of Mrs. Gantenbein was
held Friday afternoon from the Port
land crematorium at 2 o'clock. The
services were conducted by Rev.
Thomas L. Eliot. pastor emeritus of
the First Unitarian church, and his
son, Rev. William G. Eliot, pastor of
the same church. Mrs. Leah S. Hath
away sang. The body remained at the
parlors of the Holman Undertaking
company until o'clock.
Two weeks ago Judge Gantenbein
came to Portland to confer with his
wife concerning post as judge advo-
cate general of the PHILIPPINES, which
had been offered him, but declined the
post following her wishes. He re-
cieved word of Mrs. Gantenbein's S
death shortly after his return to San
Francisco.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON |
COOLING MOTH SPRAY
BY Leroy Childs.

The first moths of the second gener-
alton appeared in the breeding cages
August third. This is significant in
that eggs from this brood can be ex-
pected to hatch within seven to twevle
days following the appearance, preced-
ing which an arsenical spray should be
applied.
All orchards throughout the valley
should be sprayed by the twelfth of
this month in order to obtain maximum
control. Greater benefits will be de-
rived by spraying as close to this date
as possible; sprays applied a week to
ten days earlier will lose their effec-
tiveness just that much sooner later on
in the season while some of the early
worms will have entered the fruit if
the spraying is DELAYED much after
this date. Late worms and stings will
be common this year so that it will
pay to make the applications as near
the correct time as possible.
From present indications there are
many orchards that should receive two
sprays for the control of the worms
this year; the first should be on by the
18th and an other should be applied in
three to five per cent or more of their
apples wormy at the present time
should by all means plan to apply an
extra spray.
The addition of Bordeaux Mixture
should also be considered at this time
by many growers. Owing to the gen.
eral presence of anthracnose in the
orchards every..grower should plan to
use blue stone some time this fall. A
thorough application of Bordeaux with
the lead spray at this time in orchards
where anthractnose has not been seri-
Gus will enable the grower to keep it
largely in hand. In orchards where
cankers are common the grower should
not only use Bordeaux with the
present codling moth spray but he
should by all means follow this up
with Bluestone as soon as the crop is
harvested. The general omission of
the fall spray last year permitted in
many places severe infestation which
if allowed to run another year will
cause the loss of many trees.
Orchardists who plan to use two
lead sprays should use the Bordeaux
in the second application as it will
prove more effective if applied at this
later date. The arsenate should be
used at the rate of pounds (powder)
to 100 gallons; or paste. pounds to
100 gallons. The Bordeaux mixture
should be used at the rate of pounds
bluestone, A pounds lime to so gallons
of water. To be of benefit in control.
ling anthracnose the limbs have to be
very thoroughly covered with the spray
or little good will result from the
application.
In view of the fact that the past two
or three seasons have not been favor
able for worm development growers
are showing some signs of carelessness
in getting their sprays on at the right
time-the numerous worms that are
present in some orchards can be traced
to the fact that the last spray was de
layed too long. When the worms are
ready to enter the apple they do not
wait for holiday, wind or hot weather
so the grower must act accordingly il
control is accomplished.

Dense Haze Fills Valley

A dense smoky haze was rolled up
last week by the strong west wind
that blew here for several days, and
on Saturday the surrounding landscape
was entirely blotted out. The volume
of smoke rolling in around the base of
Mount Hood late Friday afternoon was
so strong as to alarm local people, who
feared that a fire had started in the
national forest to the southwest of the
city, but no burns of any kind were
reported, except for small fire above
the Furnish Ranch.
The haze was so dense that both
Mount Hood and Mount Adams were
entirely obscured, despite the cloudless
sky and brilliant sunshine.
