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

I the state.

rently the exchange value average«
somewhat below ¡rarity calculated
under the now formula It is down
atxiut a fourth, compared with the

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«

costs, and other outlook factors.
The report, Oregon outlook cir

The answer* to the outlook ques-
