Of the total 4,375 acres of Kenland clover certified, Jeffer son county led with 3,848 acres. This variety, Kenland, will see a considerable increase in plant ings next year, the seed certifi cation specialist predicts. This year 771 acres of Midland red clo ver were certified with Jackson county having 452 acres of the total. Seventeen counties of the state raised certified ladino clover. Ilnckelt and Porter, Madras, had the state's largest single field of the crop, 300 acres. In Jefferson county, there were 3(i8 growers who successfully met certification standards with their ladino crops. Yields as high as 600 pounds per acre are being reported, all on the new North unit reclamation pro ject.

Jackson Dairy Cows Sell Lower In Oregon, OSC Report Says Are uregun mini cows unuer- j priced? That is a question raised . and discussed in circular just released by the extension service at Oregon State college on the out look for meat animal and dairy product, in 1951. The report includes sections on consumer demand, the feed situa tion and farm wages and costs, followed by additional sections on the outlook for dairy products and meat animals. Apparently, the rel atively low level of current prices for dairy cow. in Oregon is re lated considerably to their weight and value for meat. It may also reflect the higher costs of feed and labor as compared with large mid-West dairy states. Oregon dairy cow. produce more and richer milk than the national average, yet it i. usual for the average price of milk cows to be a littler lower here than the na tional average. The margin is cur rently considerably wider than usual. Meat production i. expected to increase moderately in 1951, but population and consumer buying cm Miller always get a better deal at Interstate: 4. Fair 5. Free 6. Easy A John Deere-Killefer Panbreaker Will Boost YOUR Crop Yields ROSEBURG power are expected to increase at least as much. The amount of meat now being produced is about the same per person as in 1941, but prices at retail are double, as is the disposable income per person. The data indicate a strong re lationship between prices tor meat and the disposable income of the Limed States population. Dispos able income (after taxes) is at a record high level, nationally $1,300 or more per person in 1950. Price ceilings held meat price, below normal relationships during the war and could do so again if prices rise too far above current levels. On the other hand, feed grain prices could rise consider ably before reaching allowable ceil ings under the new law.
