REVEAL INCREASE Steady Continuance Looked For in View of Federal Aid in Financing. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 7. The steady fuc reuse in the pur chase of furms during the last eighteen months may be expected to continue during the balance of this year and all of 1937, W. 1. My ers, governor of the farm credit administration, stated here. Ho based his prediction, he said, upon four facts: (1) that the land banks sold nearly 60 per cent more farms iu the past nine months of llilltj than iu the corresponding pe riod of 1936; (2) that they have been doing an increasing amount of linauciiiK of farm purchases; (3) that long-term loans at very rea sonable rates will be available; and. (4) that there will be a con tinued general Improvement in toe position or ugneulture. Kesponsible for part of the In crease In farm purchase financing, the governor explained, is the fact that second mortgage loans by the land bank commissioner are now being made in addition to the fed eral laud bunk first mortgage loan to assist In farm purchasing, thus making it possible for a person with character and farming ex perience to finc.uce up to i5 per cent ot the appraised normal value of (he farm. The purposes for which farmers are placing mortgages on their (arms are changing rather rapidly, Myers stated. While approximately 90 per cent of the proceeds of the federal land bunk and commission- er loans In 1033 and VJ'H were used to refinunce debts, In 1935 the per centage so used dropped to 82 per cent and during the first seven months of this year to about 79 per cent. This means that a larg er proportion of the loans are be ing used to purchuse farms. In the 12 months ending October 1 this year, the federal land banks and commissioner extended credit tp. the approximate amount of $50,000, Oou to finance the purchase of near ly 20,000 farms, sold by the lund banks on mortgage or contract terms. This year the percentage of land bank proceeds used to purchuse farms Is higher than at any time during the life of the laud bank system with the exception of the period from 1U17-192U uud the year 1920. ganizatioQ of the CCC in Oregon aim vvasningion, soon acres have oeen replanted.

Laws, manager of the state flax Indus try, reported to Governor Martin. Oovernor Martin declared the report "shows the importance of ilax as one ot Oregon s potentially major crops." Tlie data slated the average pro duction oi nax per acre was 2.2 tons for which tho farmer received S6. Tlie cost ot production was computed at $26.25, leaving a re turn of $28.75 an acre. To this is udded the federal subsidy of about MO an acre, the government paying nearly (5 a ton to the farmers for growing the flax fiber. The governor said "Oregon is Ihe only state In the union where fiber flax can he grown so that It receives the benefits, not only from the crop for seed, which is valua ble in production of oils, but also the fiber value which is rated by experts as equal to the best pro duced anywhere in the world."

THC ManiS C0HHMT HmWwsrt fti 1IM MfWIOS I0W The help of farmers all over Oregon Is being asked In the pre paration of a new bulletin on weed control to be published soon at OreKon Slate college. "Every year we get hundreds of letters asking us how to control weeds," says K. It.. Juckman, ex tension specialist In farm crops at O. 8. C. "Now we would like to reverse the'' procedure momentar ily and appeal to Oregon farmers to send lu their experiences with all kinds of methods of getting rid of morning glories, Canada thistle, evergreen blackberries, white top, quack grass and other perennial weeds. A new bulletin on weeds is be ing prepared at Ihe college, and we want to include In it actual experiences of farmers all over the state. Reports of success or failure will be welcomed. Each let ter that comes in may be of tre mendous help to some other Ore gon farmer perhaps in the writer's own county, perhaps 400 miles away." Mr. Jackman wants letters tell ing of experiences with auch meth ods as cultivation, smother croi?, pasturing, chemicals everything that experimental minded Oregon farmers have ever tried. "A man's experience may seem commonplace and of little interest to him," Jackman points out, "but it may be of vital interest to some one else who has the same problem." Roasters allowed to rango 20 to 25 weeks before being placed on a fattening diet have a larger per centage of breast and leg moat the choicest portion than birds held in confinement during the growing period, according to. a 3- year test by the bureau of an'- mat industry at the .National Agri cultural Research center, Belts- ville, Md. As a general rule, say the poul try specialists, the percentage of breast was about 8 per cent high er, leg 10 per cent higher, and to tal edible portion 6 10 8 per cent higher In favor of the birds allow ed to range. This is credited large ly to development through exer cise and to feed picked up on tiie range. when placed on a fattening diet for two weeks the range birds showed an average increase of six per cent in the , percentage of to tal edible portion. No signifi cant changeB took place in the percentage of breast and leg, al though there was a proportionate increase In weight. The study showed little differ ence in the physical and chemical conipoplllon of the edible portions, although the birds placed on the fattening diet for two weeks show ed an increase of 66 per cent in the proportion of fat in the edible portions over those which were not fattened.
