COUNTY AGENT'S REPORTS I Need for New Policies in Situation as to Farm Lands Recognized. Infinite need for new county policies with regard to lax-dellii-quent farm lands in Oregon Ih be ing revealed by present laud use studies being made by the reset tlement administration, declares Walter A. Iuffy, regional director. Portland. Four Oregon counties being studied under direction of II. K. Selby, head of the land planning section in cooperation with local planning iigencks, reveal wide hp read tax delinquency and mount ing county ownership. In one coun ty the percentage of county owned land has risen from & to 20 per cent since I'J'ii). Where an unof ficial moratorium Is In force, dis tricts are found where taxes have not been paid for 12 years or more. Meanwhile county services are fi nanced by other taxpayers. Similar conditions are found in other states, said Duffy. One Pa cific northwest state has delin quent road, school and county taxes totaling f 1 b.yiio. In an other state, 2$ families on unpro ductive faruiri coat the county ii'Miu a year more than they con tribute in taxej. in three counties in the middle we.-t. local and out side agencies have poured $7,omt, uuif Into relief work since l'J.lo with the laud still unable to sup port the farmers. I'sually the huid acquired by the county Is unsuccessful farm land uhere farmers have failed. In the past such farms have been resold to new families who in turn often failed to pay taxes. A wise county policy, based on facts relating to present land Use, soil surveys, school uud road coats, relief reports, tax and mort gage delinquencies, and a practlt nl estimate of the future or the coun ty. Is the first step In remedying what Is in many countk-s a critical situation. With stub facts In hand eountv officials will he able to dispose of county-owned land in ways that will not lay a burden on taxpayers. Such fact-gathering is being con dnrlnd In Coos, Curry, Clatsop rind llenton countH's, said Duffy. Graph ic maps Hre being prepared and will booh bo available for county use.

Koseuberg, of Rosen berg Brothers, operators of the large Hear creek orchard here, u on return from a week's tour of Calilornia, reports "the- Uartlett pear deal for the coming season mixed." Koseuberg states the "cannery men are pointing to u larger crop and lower prices on commodities canned so far this year particu larly peaches and apricots; with ihe growers on the other hand pointing to the small cannery carry-over and to the reduction la the Uartlett crop, particularly In the northwest." "I found the growers of Califor nia firm, with the cunners mark ing time, until the situation clari fies," Rosenberg Bald. Knseii berg Baid that as far as he was able to determine, no prices for Uartlett cannery pears had been set, but growers were plan ning to hold meetings next week on this subject. "!t looks to inc.' said Rosen berg, "like tho Rartlelt cannery -w?.ti I The California Oregon Power Company OF AGRICULTURE NEWS deal Is tn far better share than the peach deal, or other deciduous fruit deals, because of Its better position in regards to supply and carry-over. I look for a reasonable price to be established." WASHINGTON APPLE CROP DECREASED WKXATCIIKK. July 6 (API The smallest apple crop in 12 years was esllmnteil for tills dis trict by T. I..

Their July 1 estimate for Hits year Is 3,627 carloads below the crop condition report on (he same dale last year. Yakima's crop is estimated by Horticulturist A. C.

May be a slight blemish in the porcelain . . . that's all. In every other respect the range is perfect. Just as durable, just as glistening and beautiful.

Adv. SAN FUANCIsro, July 6 (AP) The far west's "butter crop" add ed about fOO.000,000 to circulation of business funds during the first half of this year, despite lower output than a year ago. U'lilln figures on output are still In preliminary form, available data indicated the 11 Pacific and Moun tain states produced around 200, 000,000 pounds. Profits to dairymen and butter manufacturers have been luniilug at what trade reporters called "very good" figures. Feed costs were lower during the first half of this year than last, and butter prices higher more than enough higher to balance lower output. San Francisco prices, fairly rep. rosentatlve of coast conditions, showed top grade or 92 score bring ing 34 cents u pound at wholesale today. The trend has been up ward since mid-April, with the rise getting definitely under way late in May. Thus far the rise in price has brought no consumer reaction, de mand holding up around 10 per cent better than last year. Deal ers, however, are reported watch- 1 ing closely for a chauge.
