. County Agnt Preside
About 1:30 p. m.. the meeting

speakers.
The first address was that of
J. C. Leedy of Portland, who is
interested in a mrkey ranch, near
Brooks, and is also manager of
the Oregon branch vt the North
western Cooperation Turkey Mar
keting association.
Mr. Leedy'a subject was "The
Turkey Market- Outlook," and he
laid that the early prediction of
an immense increase of turkey
production this season had not
materialized owing to the late
rains and the drought in the mid
west states.
Surplus Unlikely
"If we have a 20 or 25. per
cent increase production this year
we will only be back to the total
production of three or four years
ago," he stated. "If the sales deal
is handled in an orderly manner
this winter, the turkey growers
should receive a very good price
for their bird3." :
He said, however, that feeds
are going to cost more this fall
than last year.

kind K turkey raiser must have

Business Failures
Fewest Since '20
Only 639 in July For (J. S.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-(;p)f-A
decline in commercial failures to
the lowest figures since the post
war boom days of 1&20 was re-.
orded today as an index of im
proving business health.
Figures compiled by Dun &
Bradstreet for July made the low
est monthly total since Septem
ber, 1920, and showed a continua
tion of the rate of decline in the
first week or August.
On the basis of an index kept
by the agency since the end of
1932, July Insolvencies at the an
nual' rate of 38.2 for each 10,000
firms in business.
It compared with 44. in June
and 52.8 in July, 19 3 S. In Janu
ary, 1933, as business was head
ing for the banking holiday,- it
was above 170 and a former in
dex, computed somewhat differ
ently soared above 200 at the
peak of the "depression epidemic
of failures. -
Only 639 in Month
July failures numbered9 C39, a
figure exceeded on the downside
only twice for the month since
1894 despite the growth of popu
lation and business in the mean
while. It compared with 902 in
the same month last year - and
259 6 in July. 1932, around the
peak of the depression liquidation
movement. " j
Liabilities involved were less
than 310.000,000 in contrast with
116,523,000 in the 1935. month
and 387,190,000 in the 1932 pe
riod. ' ,
For the year to August 6 fail-
ares totaled 6157 against 7355 in
the corresponding 1935 months, a
drop of 16.3 Per cent.
Aside from general business im
provement, shrinkage in the cas
ualty list was attributed to dras
tic purging of the corporate field
since 1929, relative scarcity of
new business promotion, the rise
in prices and real estate values.

I'm ' delighted with our. new
Dodge! In the first place it's such
a gorgeous-looking car. I doubt
whether we could find greater
riding comfort in any other car...
...It handles like a dream.. .so
easy to steer and shift gears
and the brakes are marvelous
...and what a money-saver it is...
We haveat had to add any oil
between regular changes...
What's more, our Dodge is giving
us at least 7 more miles to the
gallon of gas than our old car. No
wonder they call it the Money
Saving Dodge!
