The big tteam whittle at the Oregon rum ana Friday Oregon Farm Prices Ignore Upward Trend . ' By LILLIE U MADSEN Fan Editor, The Statesman While national farm product pur chasing power and farm exports stepped up in June, Oregon farm prices continued to lag, according to agricultural economists' re leases Friday. Oregon farm prices are now 4 per cent below a year ago. This is In contrast to the nearly J'i per cent Increase chalked up over the past 11 months In the national average. Cotton, tobacco and oil- bearing crops products not grown in Oregon-Helped lift the U. S average. The national average Jumped 3 per cent in prices received by farmers in June over May, with no increase in costs. It marked the first time since lMt that farm prices have advanced from May to June. Mostly responsible for the upturn were the higher prices paid to farmers for fruits, potatoes, and commercial vegetables. Some of this Increase, registered earlier by Southern states, may show up later in the summer in Oregon, economists thought. At the same time, costs held the line. Higher price tsgs en some living items were offset by lower price for some of the items nsed in (arm operation. In the meantime, more and more farm products are being shipped abroad. During the 11 months that ended the first of June, the exports rose I per cent In value and U per cent in quantity. By the time the June export are added In. total UJi. farm export may reach a peak that has been topped only twice in the past at years. , Paper Company will sound simul taneously with siren of the city' five fir stations.
