Oregon firm prices are down,!
just as everyone expected they!
would be with cessation of over
seas hostilities, but we haven't
heard of anyone who wants to
start a new war to bring them up
again.
Average farm i products, as
shown by a recent USD A report,
are 91 per cent of those in mid
December. Of a total of 22 com
modities, only three are above
those of last year. The three are
turkeys, hogs and apples. . i

doubtful that turkey prices will
be up. Turkey hatcherymen say
they have never seen so much de
mand for eggs as this year and
they are quite sure the buyers are
not eating them. This means that
the turkey production is going
iky high and maybe turkey
prices are going rock-bottom
deep. . And another maybe ev-1
erybody can have turkey every
Sunday next falL
Up around Stayton they are
Bow boasting their town is listed
in the "Congressional Directory,
83rd Congress," and in "Who's
Who in America." Not every lit
tle country town with a popula
tion of less than: 2,000 rates so,
the residents rightly point out
Of course, the occasion on both
listings is for Congressman Wal
ter Norblad, who built a home in
the area this past year. Stayton
reports that it is very happy hav
ing a nationally-known figure
that makes Stayton a "national"
town in the "good" sense. Some
one might read the listings and
drift this way with the assump
tion that what is good enough for
a congressman might also be good
enough for him.
We attended the 8th annual
Jersey Junior Sale at Hillsboro
Saturday where only Future
Farmer and 4-H club members
were permitted to buy or bid.
The doldrums of the dairy in
dustry were sort of reflected at
the sale with 19 high bred ani
mals selling for a total of $2,245
and an average of $118.15. Four
animals were not sold, three re
ceiving no bids and one with an
offer of $55, not acceptable to
the owner.
It was recalled that last year's
sale also brought out 19 animals
for an average,- however, of $167.
The 1953 .high was $282 with the
Saturday 'high price at $220, a

Competition will be keen for
Oregon strawberry growers and
processors this year, says M. D.
Thomas, agricultural economist
Efficient production and market
ing are cited as the key to stay-
ing in Dusmess.
Acreage on tne west uoasi is
expected to be a shade smaller
than during the 1953 season, but
production could be larger. A re
duction 01 I,4Uu acres is lnaicatea
for Oregon in 1954, says Thomas.
This will be partially offset by
an increase of J.000 acres in Cali
fornia. No change is anticipated
for Washington.
'Trends in acreage suggest
that recent prices have been more
attractive to California growers
than they have been in Oregon
and other important strawberry
states," Thomas explains.
California's acreage increase
could result in a West Coast crop
10 per cent greater, if yields hold
to 1953 levels. California's yields
are much higher than Oregon's,
the economist points out 1
Competition from other fruits!
and leveling-off in consumer in
comes are apt to have adverse
effects on the purchase of pack
aged strawberries, however, the
economist reports.

Reports show that during 1953,
the Pacific coast states produced
more than half of the nation's
strawberries. Oregon supplied
approximately 15 per cent of the
national .supply, and . California
32 pe cent
Oregon-growers sold 96 per
cent of iheir production to pro
cessors and California sold 60 per
cent selling the remaining
amounts on the fresh market
Cobs Substituted
For Alfalfa Hay
In Station Test
Corn cobs, used for fuel in pio
neer days, are finding a new use
in the Virginia agricultxiral ex
periment station. They are being
substituted for a certain amount
of alfalfa hay in the dairy feed,
i One test group of milk cows re
ceived 11 pounds of alfalfa hay,
33 pounds of corn silage, and
suitable grain mixture fed im
cording to the level of milk pro
duction.' -'
A second lot was given only SVt
pounds of alfalfa hay, and ground
corn cobs were substituted for
the other 5 pounds of hay. The
silage portion and the grain mix
ture were - the same for both
groups. ' -"
' The two groups were switched
after 30 days, so that all cows
were on the same ration for a 30
day period. Both milk production
and weight stayed constant, the
reports showed.
4-H club member, Melbaruth Mel-
ott of Hillsboro, sold to Elaine
Slocum of Portland.
While the auction started -out
with the ruling that no more than
two animals might be bought by
any one youngster, this was soon
changed to three, as the crowd
was small : ' ' -
Most of the animals came from
Tillamook, Washington and Mult-
unomah counties. However, of
special interest in the mid-Wil
lamette valley were consignments
by John L. Lienhart, woodburn,
and L. S. Lorenxen k Son, Day
ton. The Lienhart cow brought
$135 from Michael Donaldson,
Brownsmead. The Lorenzen cow
brought out the .same price from
Bill Kessi of Scappoose.
Jens Svinth, with the Willam
ette Valley Bank, Salem, read the
pedigrees and the auction was
cried by Roy Benson of Silverton
and Salem.
Henry Hagg, Reeds ville dairy
man, widely known throughout
the Willamette valley, is doing a
little talking nowadays. Cut in
government dairy support will
mean that industry has to absorb
a billion dollar shock this year.
It also means that, producers will
have to work out a plan of their
own to solve butter surplus prob
lems . . . (which a few dairymen
think is the best method anyway,
and others can't see at all).
Suggested self-help plan would
include self-assessment by the
dairy industry for operational
funds lor getting word out that
butter is still the best substitute
for butter. Cost of setting up effi
cient marketing program, Henry
said, would only be a fraction of
present annual loss, under lower
support price.
Henry, along with I. L. Peter
son, state director of agriculture,
even got on TV at Portland (and
they looked right handsome) the
other night to tell the story. They
appeared on the "Food, for
Thought" program with the sub
ject "Butter What Are We Go
ing to Do With It?"
Henry and Pete rather indicat
ed we were still going to eat it,
and a lot out in front of the TV
screen were going to help.
Increased Corn
Acreage Expected
For This Spring
After gazing into the crystal
ball, one is likely to come up with
the idea that this might be a
pretty good spring to plant corn,
says John Inskeep up in Clacka
mas County.
Some of the prognosticators are
prognosticating that barley will
sell for less than $35 a ton at
harvest Grey oat prices are like
ly to bring good prices but addi
tional plantings will depend upon
weather from now until mid-
March. Fall .plantings are report
ed extensive, uood white oats
might bring fair prices.
It's a cinch, Inskeep adds, that
many rations during the coming
two- years will contain the maxi
mum allowance of barley and
oats. There might also be some
cheaper wheat provided that stor
age .is short t
But this fact remains, according
to Inskeep: Minimum require
ments for corn in poultry rations
always places the west cast on
the state import basis. This means
that the price of corn here is bas
ed on the middle west price plus
freightqu ite an advantage to the
local grower.
Change in Wheat
Allotment Now
Made Known
There is a new ruling that has
come out m regard to 1954 wheat
acreage allotments which may
concern some of the wheat grow
ers in this area, Louie H. Gross,
McMinnville, Said Wednesday.
A docket was signed in Feb
ruary by the undersecretary of
agriculture, approving all coun
ties in the Umted States for use
of wheat as green manure, cover
crop, silage, pasture or hay lor
the 1954 wheat allotment and
marketing quota program. Prior
approval of county committees is
not required but acreage must be
designated. Earlier provisions
relative 4o unkJtowingly over
pltfnted acreage is no longer ap
plicable. The farmer must designate this
certain amount of wheat for any
of the above mentioned uses be
fore the final record of acreage is
made in the soil consesvation of
fice, Gross insisted. In previous
regulations, the use of wheat for
the above purposes was not pos
si Die.
Virgin Turkeys
Produce Young
In USD A Tests
Living, fatherless embryos
have been produced in 15 per
cent of all eggs laid by virgin
turkey hens on experiment at the
USDA Agricultural Research
Center, Beltsville, Maryland.
Although previously known to
occur only as far up the animal
scale as fish and frogs, this is the
first known case of natural par
thenogenesis in birds.
The USDA Beltsville station is
the creator, too, of the Beltsville
White turkeys, the so-called
"family-sized" turkey. - - :

Federal Aid to
School Board IFar
Belojw Estimate
THE DALLES (J) The school
board here got an unpleasant
surprise Wednesday. 1 1
Instead of $45,000 it expected
from the federal aid program
based on the number of children
who came here with fathers work
ing on The Dalles Dam. the board
received a check for only; $7,294.
School officials believe they may
get more federal money, possibly
about $5,000. but said they appar
ently had been wrongly informed
about the $45,000. 1
The school support levy was
based 6n the expectancy of getting
the larger amount Now, officials
said,' there will have to be some
close figuring on spending.
