MACLEAY That the home extension work In Marion county
has proven a financial success was shown during the two day clothes
remodeling school held here Thursday and Friday under the direction
of the Marion county extension agent. Miss Lucy Lane and Miss Janet
Taylor, specialists from Oregon State college, were instructors.
r Most of the garments remodeled were of material that cannot
be found on the market now and were utterly useless because of the
style. Placing the value low on the work done, the estimated saving
now that the garments are usable was given at about $115.
A suit not worn for 20 years, remodeled , into a modern suit,
could not, be found in the shops and has better material than suits
selling now for' $100. " " I
vj Three coats, seven dresses and one skirt were remodeled. Two
children's coats were made out of used garments and became attrac
tive, warm and serviceable until outgrown. , . . : . -, - ' -v
I The garment that was the greatest achievement, the -seamstresses
believed, was a woman's suit made from a man's suit.
While :all garments were not "completed, all were far enough
along to be finished at home. Suggestions were also given for re
modeling or "perking" up other garments brought for inspection.

Westerners
Said Helped
By Hog Ceiling
Recently established ceilings on
live hogs have brought about
some odd situations in terminal
markets, although those are ; for
the most part natural results of
the price relationships, according
to agricultural economists of the
extensoin service and experiment
station, at Oregon State college.
For example, since the estab
lishment of hog ceilings at Chicago
at $14.75 a hundred, all classes re
gardless of size or age have been
selling at the ceiling price. In
Portland, on the other hand, the
current market price is consider
ably below the permitted ceiling
and there has apparently been no
material effect on numbers of hogs
marketed or on the differential
between grades. At Chicago re
ceipts have been sharply curtail
ed, according to reports received
by H. H. White, associate exten
sion economist. U
The published ceiling prices at
Portland actually have little
meaning, says E. L. Potter, head
of the divistion of agricultural ec
onomics, who has Just prepared
a station circular of information
on the meat price situation: This
circular, number 317, is entitled
OPA Dressed Meat Ceilings, Sub
sidies to Slaughterers, and Com
parative live Animal Values.
The hog price in Portland, ex
cept for short periods, has consist
ently been the price at the west
ern edge of the corn belt . plus
freight, points out Prof. Potter,
Under the present ceilings it is
possible now to buy live hogs in
central Nebraska and the eastern
Dakotas at ceiling prices there,
pay the freight to Portland, and
still sell them here at substantially
under the published ceili!- f
$15.75. Present ceiling price rela
tionships between live hoes and
' dressed pork are somewhat fav
orable to western slaughterers, he
adds. :

Urgedto Buy,
Potatoes
Oregon consumers can help
growers with the marketing and
storage of this year's record potato
crop by obtaining liberal winter's
supplies now, says R. B. Taylor,
chairman of Oregon's USD A war
board, in calling attention to the
designation of potatoes as a vic
tory food selection for the period
ending October 2-November 6.
The family with facilities for
keeping potatoes will find it a
thrifty practice to buy a sack or
more now, Taylor believes. Good
home storage is a place "where the
temperature stays between 40 and
60 dgrees, plus a covering to shut
out the light' Detailed directions
for storing potatoes and other ve
getables are given in OSC exten
sion bulletin 601.
Farmers of this state are har
vesting 53,000 acres of 1 potatoes,
an increase of 47 per cent ever
last year made in response. to war
food production goals.' While ev
ery spud will be needed before
next year's crop is ready, Taylor
pointed out that marketing and
transportation facilities can handle
only a small portion of the crop
at harvest time. Thus growers
must keep a large part of the crop
until it can be marketed later.
To meet this problem, grow
ers have constructed more than a
half million bushels of new stor
age facilities, the chairman said.
Most of this is in the large-scale
commercial areas, where facilities
now appear adequate. Little stor
age space is available in the Willa
mette valley, however, and 'the
greatly increased crop in mat area
will : have to be marketed soon
after harvest, Taylor said. Con
sumers can, ease the storage prob
lem by stocking up now.
To assist in the orderly market
ing of the crop and to support
prices to growers at previously an
nounced levels, government loans
are available to growers who can
provide safe storage for their po
tatoes. Loans are made on a field
run basis, but the amount of the
loan is based on the percentage of
No. 1 and No. 2 grade potatoes in
the lot The. loan rate is $1.65 a
hundred in all counties except
Malheur, Baker, Wallowa and Un
ion, where it is $1.45. Loans are
made at the full rate for No. 1
grade, and at 60 per cent of the
full rate for potatoes grading No.
1 or better. .
