Turkey Growers Protected
By Federal Price Support;
Scale Of Payments Listed
Turkey growers are protected
by a gcvernment price support
program. J. F. Bonehrake. chair
man of the Douglas County Agri
cultural Conservation committee,
reminded farmers todav.
The program, which sets a
floor below which average farm
prices should not fall, will oper
ate through purchases of frozen
dressed turkeys in car-lot quanti
ties. Purchases will be made
from producers or from other sel
lers who certify that they have
paid producers the announced
support prices for the live tur
keys bought from Aug. 1 through
their contract delivery date.
Prices will vary by zones, by
month, and by weight. Turkeys
offered to the government be
tween Aug. 1 and Dec. 28 mujt
be delivered within 30 days.
The liveweight price sellers
must pay Oregon producers for
turkeys weighing under 18
pounds Is 34.50 cents per pound
during the month of August. The
support Increases one-fourth of a
cent each month through Novem
her; the December support is the
same as for November. August
price supports in the state for
other weights are: ls-zl pounds,
31.25 cents: 22-24 pounds. 27.75
cents; 24 pounds and over, 25.00
cents.
"The turkey program will offer
a national average price support
of about 31 cents a pound." Bone
brake said. 'This is expected to
be around 90 percent of parity for
tne whole marketing season. Last
year, producers received a U. S.
average liveweight price or 47.
cents per pound for turkeys sold
from August through December
an all-time record levtl. Prices
received by farmers for turkeys
on July 15 ol this year averaged
34.7 cents per pound.
To encourage the trade to store
turkevs during the normal mar
keting season, the Department of
Agriculture will also purcna
during July, 1950, frozen turkeys
in storage which were purchased
from producers In 1949.

looking for tree seed this year as
never before. With plans for step

series are looking for more seed.
That coupled with a few lean
seed gathering years has placed
a premium on certain forest tree
seeds. Wanted particularly are
cones bearing seeds of Douglas

and white fir.
From one well established deal

Port Orford cedar $5; and white
fir from $1 to $2. There Is also
market for sugar :ine cones.
In the lower elevations of the

the cones will be dry and much
of the seed will drop out. In high
er elevations, the picking season
will be progressively later end
ing with white fir in late October.
Koss points out that all the
seed gathering opportunities are
not in the mountains. Many yard
and pasture trees are excellent
cone sources.
The white fir species wanted are
Abies concolor and Abies bran
dis. Ross suggests that cone gath
erers check with market outleis
to make sure they have the de
sired strain of white fir before
picking large quantities. In most
cases dealers are willing to call
at farms to purchase cones.
And, here's an added tip on
where to look. Follow the squir
rels, Ross suggests, since they
have a bumper tree seed crop to
work on this year and they are
busy now gathering next winters

For high-speed wood cutting,
your best bet is a McCulloch chain
saw. It's s favorite of timbermen,
because it upi log production. It's a
hit with farmers, because it takes the
