"If our fanners can produce yields

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.

Naturally there is a reason for this ridiculously
low price on an automatic electric range of this
high quality. As of course you know, the manu
facturing standards of the Westinghouse Com
pany are very high. Every range leaving this

Compare this especially priced range in every
detail with other ranges. White porcelain finish,
modern rlat top design, simplicity of operation
and other Westinghouse exclusive features.
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.
All we ask you to do is to see one of these ranges

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.

showed top grade or 92 score bring
ing 34 cents u pound at wholesale
today. The trend has been up

getting definitely under way late

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.
