Sell-Back' Price On Milo Lower A measure of relief for Oregon livestock ai d poultry growers was grantee through a lowered "sell-back” price on government owned milo stored in the north west. This Information came from Senator Wayne Morse who in conjunction with the 51st legislative agricultural interim committee had been seeking a solution to the widening dispar ity in cost between midwest and western feed grains. This cost, which had recently varied up to $17 per ton on feed grains as contrasted with a normal $5 to $6 per ton, threatened the live stock feeder and poultry grower industry of Oregon. The newly announced "sell- back" price was listed at $43 per ton country price for milo. This represents a drop of $3.70 per ton. Milo is comparable to bar ley as a standard feed grain in the northwest. Livestock and poultry produced in the northwest compete in the same markets as those produced in the midwest In many classifi cations, and industry leaders are finding the grains price dispar ity destructive to their industry according to a spokesman for the agricultural Interim committee This slight lowering of costs In feed grain prices is not expected to have a material effect on con sumer poultry and livestock pro ducts costs. Feed grain exporters continue to receive approximate ly a $2 advantage over Oregon users of feed grains in the live stock and poultry industries Football Banquet Is Nov. 10 The 1361 Pacific high school football banquet will be held in the Port Orford Masonic hall on Friday.
