FARM SITUATION
KGOOD, IS REPORT
Cash Income from Oregon
i Farms May Exceed
: $120,000,000, 1929
OREQO.V HTATE COLLEGE,
Feb. 22 Local and atate demand
for agricultural products la expect
ed to continue good for those com
modities largely consumed cm the
Pacific coast, according to a sum
mary of the agricultural economic
otnlcok report for taw atate just
released by the extension service.
Products -rhich mut be shipped
east where prices are easily affect
ed by changes In buslneM condi
tions may meet a leas satisfactory
demand toward the last of 3929
and early 1920.
Cash Income from Oregon farms
Is likely to exceed In 1929 the esti
mated 12U.Oyo.OO'for ms, says
the reports Average lncotow per
farm Is expected to remain ap
proximately the same as for the
past year, but farms are increas
ing about In proportion to .total
income.
t "Until the tariff on tUx fiber is
high enough to protect the farmer.
there Is no Incentive to grow fiber
flax except under contract to the
elate of Oregon, in so far a pres
ent conditions are concerned.
ays the farm crops section of the
report. As inspection shows that
much corn Is shipped In each year.
It Is evident that the home demand
for corn grain is ample to absorb
the Intended Increase of about ltt
per cent In corn for grain. A
strong demand for bay In 1929 In
the outlook as the crop in 1928
was not large.
Potato Plans
Oregon farmers Intend to plant
about 11 per cent less acreage of
potatoes In 1929 than in 192K, pre
dicts the report. With the Intend
ed acreage there would be no
shortage-of market potatoes In
1929-90 If averse ylelda are- se
cured. "Transportation coats are unfav
orable to Oregon orchardlsts," says
the report. "Standardization of
fruit for market is becoming more
important. As for apples, no in
crease in tonnage is expected with
in the next five years. Increased
plantings of apples in Oregon ap
pear to be justified only when
needed for replacement or when
especially favorable conditions of
production and marketing are en
joyed. A general curtailment of
plantings of pears on the Pacific
I coast seems desirable. Additional
plantings of pears will likely be
warranted only in those looallllcs
'in which high quality pears can be
grown profitably at prices consider
ably below the average of recent
years. An increase In plantings
should undoubtedly be In canning
cherries for western Oregon and of,
shipping for eastern Orfgon." I
