It. itrolthaupt, agricultural extension economist at Oregon State college. 'I he drought situation so far gon producers of eggs, buttertat. wheat, oats, barley, potatoes aud several other commodities," Brei thaupt says. "Hop' prices have ad vanced more than any other com modity, helping to boost the Ore gon farm price index, owing to unfavorable growing conditions for hops In Oregon, Washington and California not because of the drought." Meat May Be Increased That the Immediate effect of the drought on prices will not bo fav orable m respect to -alt Oregon farm products is evident, however, both from the record of price trends during the past few weeks and from information given in the latest monthly review of the agri cultural situation and outlook pre pared by Mr. Breitbaupt. Meat pupidies on the markets, especially unfinished slock, are likely to be increased through forced sales during tho next few mouths, al- practically all animal products wijl be strengthened. 1 The current or August isauo of the monthly report on agricultural conditions gives special considera tion to the probable trend of prices for eggs, dairy prouucis, uwi, lumho wnni und wheat.
