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.

iHiuetio valley farmers netted
:1S.75 an acre for flax fiber on
yield from 299 acres, L. L. 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."

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.
