PC 5 MS HEAVY INCH " " ' d I?-' 4 E IS QUESTIONED Wide Variation in Estimates Shown by Recent Study . An increase of about 7 per cent :nr about 11.0 00 head in the fall Die cron of 1929 over the 19 fall pig is iudicated by the December tig survey. The increase was due entirely to larger aver age litters which more than off net the small decrease in sows far rowing. The survey was made in cooperation with the postmaster rural carries and contract-carriers of Oregon by the division of crop and lives' ock estimates and issued through the federal-state crop re porting rervice. The average number of pigs saved per litter this fall was 7.1 comoared with 6.4 in the fall of 1928. Sows farrowing this fall were 96.2 per cent of those far rowed in the fall of 192& and 82.2 per cent ot those farrowed in the spring ot 1928. Both spring and fall farrowings in Oregon are im portant but on the average sows bred to farrow In the spring num ber around 25 per cent greater. Sows bred or to be bred to far row next spring show an increase of nine per cent over sows far rowed in the spring of 1929 ac cording to reports received from 4 22 Oregon hog growers The wrecked and fire-blackened planes which carried ten persons to water graves Tharsday were located late Friday by trawlers.

U. 8. Report Agrees For the United States the tall pig crop was practically the same as in 1928. An increase In the Corn Belt of about four per cent was offset by decreases in most other sections, particularly in the South. The total 1929 pig crop in the United States was 6.4 per cent smaller than in 128 according to the spring and fall pig surveys. The surveys, however, unoermm cated the big crop3 as checked by subsequent marketings in the Corn Belt by around four per cent. Intentions to breed for farrowing next spring show an increase of six per cent. However, past spring Eiirveys underindicated the actual farrowings and partly offset the spread between breeding inten tions shown by the - rrent fall survey and the actual farrowings which will be obtained on the June 1130 surrey.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stephens CTIVIT1ES S IRE NUMEROUS A recent Issue of the "Agricul tural Situation and Outlook." published by the Oregon State college carries an Interesting com ment as to the variation in esti mates of the value of Oregon farm crops. The difficulty in arriving at an accurate estimate is pointed out. The article in part says: "In the June 5, 1928 issue of this bulletin data were presented showing great variation in official and unofficial estimates of the value of agricultural production in Oregon. That confusion still ex ists seems evident from figures recently published. For Instance, one newspaper states, "Oregon's Farm Yield Sets New High Rec ord: Total Is $619,788,000." The "Grand Total Value, 1928" was SC76.269.360 according to the -y - - , same authority. Another paper Bays, "Oregon farmers got, or will get, $180, 000,000 for their products in 1929. This is 15,000,000 more than the combined value of the state's agricultural products in 1928." But the "Estimated Cash Icome Farm Production" in 1928 for Oregon, as published by the United States department of agriculture was 8122,167,000 quite a differ ent sum than $576,269,360 or even $175,000,000. Divided equal ly am oner approximately 60.000 Oregon farmers it would provide about $2,000 not around $3,000 or $10,000 each. To some extent perhaps, differ ences in estimates may be ac counted for in a tendency not to recognize, or to forget, that farm ers use a considerable part of their product on the farm for feed and food. The official estimated gross value of crops for Oregon in 1928 was $96,075,000. compared to a cash income of $57,608,000. For animal production the gross value was estimated at $74,307,000 and the cash income at $64,559,000. Inasmuch as even the official estimates are qualified by the statement that for most of the miscellaneous groups adequate da ta on production, sales and prices were not available, the question geems a fair one: Oregon farm in come; What is it?"
