COTTAGE GROVE.OREGON DORENA (Mu. lait Wagner, Phone MI.UI) What is the financial outlook for farmers next year and beyond? The answer to that question is of no small consequence in Oregon, agriculture being Oregon's great est primary source of cash income Receipts from farm marketing averaged $.175,000,(MX) a year from 19-15 to 1949 Processing farm pro ducts added many more millions to the value of sales, putting ; money m circulation all through I the state.

Thus, not only total farm receipt* are felling but the ■ net income is shrinking also and I falter. That la the general situa tion, although some type« of farm ing fare better than average. Farm product* in general will have more exchange vahte (buying l>owcrl in 19MF51 than the rather low prewar level, but considerable less than in 1949 and 1948. Cur rently the exchange value average« somewhat below ¡rarity calculated under the now formula It is down atxiut a fourth, compared with the l>eak In 1946. The outlook for some farm pro ducts is associated with the pro visions for calculating 'parity" and the price support provisions con tained in the Agricultural Act of 1949. The circular h«s a sect km to summarize this. Other section« deal with supply, demand, price, costs, and other outlook factors. The report, Oregon outlook cir cular 1949 No. 7, is also available direct from Oregon State college. The answer* to the outlook ques- | tion are only moderately favor- | able, according to a new circular 1 just issued by the Oregon exten sion service and available from county extension agents.
