GOOD EATING AHEAD
U. S. Food Supplies Ample
By SAM DAWSON
or The Associated Press
NEW YORK WWThe outlook for
eating this coming winter is
pretty good today.
Prices of most foodstuffs are
down at the farm level to about
where they were hefore the start
of the Korean war sent them
scampering upward. Large sur
pluses of many of the primary
foodstuffs tend to keep them
stable.
The chief upward pressure on
food prices al the grocery level
I buuika i.uiit nit iicviuis hoc til
uusis ui preparation ana aisiriDU
tion. Drought or disease or tropical
hurricanes have cut some crops
in some sections, but shortages
exist in very few commodities.
Storms hurt the apple crop in the
East. Rains cut into the onion
crop in the Southwest and on the
West Coast unseasonable hot
weather took a toll of lettuce in
California,
But the story in general is one
of plenty. And when a major
crop has been cut this year by
weather or go ernmc;. ' plant
ing restrictions, there is usually a
sizable holdover from previous
years on which to fall back.
Another round in coffee price
cutting started this week on the
Pacific Coast and spread to the
East. Futures trading on the
New York Coffee & Sugar Ex
change shows that traders are
looking for lower prices when
the next crop is harvested in
Brazil. In that country govern
mental agencies are reported
buying up the green beans in an
attempt to bolster sagging prices.
The turkey crop in this country
is close to the record set in
1952, while wholesale prices are
reported the lowest in 12 years,
offering consumer something to
be th-nkful for come Thanksgiv
ing. Poultry prices are down and
so are eggs, although chicken
farmers are expecting the price
to stiffen with the moulting sea
son. Meat supplies are abundant this
fall. Bargains are advertised
every week by the butchers.
All this is pleasant ft-' the con
sumer. For the farmer it's some
thing else again.
Prices of farm products climbed
steeply after the Korean war
started in June of 1950. They
reached a peak in early spring
of 1951. Since then they have
slipped back 21 per cent.

Stained western barley of the
1954 crop, grading No. 5 or better,
will be eligible for price support.
This decision by the Dept. of
Agriculture .particularly applies
to areas in Oregon, Washington,
and Idaho where adverse weather
conditions have resulted in a
considerable increased in the
amount of stained barley.
H. H. Myers, chairman of the
Lane County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Commit
tee, explains that stained barley
will be discounted 10 cents per
bushel in addition to any other
applicable discounts.
Previous to the recent decision,
stained barley, regardless of
class or grade, was not eligible
for price support. Support was
limited to barley of any class
grading No. 5 or better or No. 5
garlicky or better.
Class III western barley with
a test weight if less than 40
pounds per bushel still remains
ineligible for price support.
The (JSDA action, Chairman
Myers points out, results from the
recent rain which have caused a
sizeable amount of barley in the
Northwest to become stained. The
decision will give farmers price
support on such barley and en
able them to withhold it from
market when prices are below
the support level.
The current loan rate on 1954
barley, grade No. 2 or better
(except mixed), is $1.15 per
bushel, national average.
In Lane County, the basic sup
port rate per bushel for both farm
storage and country warehouse
storage loans on Classes I, II
and III grading No. 2 or better
is $1.26.
The grade, class, grading fac
tors, and all other quality factors
are to bo determined in accord
ance with the methods set forth
in the Official Grand Standards
of the United States.

Tree Farms
Total Grows
Another step was taken this
week toward insuring a perman
ent supply of timber for Oregon
and Washington sawmills and
factories with the certification of
141,956 acres of private taxpayihg
forests as West Coast tree farms.
Addition of the newly certified
tree farms raises the total acre
age now included in this perman
ent private forest management
program in western Oregon and
Washington to 4,415,430 acres.
"All this vast acreage has been
brought into this program since
the inception of the idea in 1941."
said Roy F. Morse, Longview,
chairman of the certifying agen
cy, the Industrial Forestry Assn
There are 36 separate owner
ships in the most recently certi
fied tree farms, Morse said. They
include 22 in Oregon in 12 dif
ferent counties, and 14 in Wash
ington in seven different coun
ties.
There are now 99 tree farms In
western Oregon with 1,757,071
acres, and 147 in western Wash
ington with a total area of 2,-
658,359 acres.
Among the newest certified
tree farms are two in Lane
County: one of 171 acres operated
by Swanson Bros. Logging Co.;
the other of 218 acres, operated
by Prince E. Helfrich.

scientists to better qualify'for-

chemists and farm crops re
searchers have received a $5,500
Federal grant to study color-add'
ing "chromogen" compounds in
forage plants as a possible key
to the nutritive value of plants
J. Ritchie Cowan, farm crops
plant breeder, will coordinate the
research project tentatively sche
duled as a tive-to-six-year pro
gram with annual renewal of the
grant. Cowan says animal nu
tritionists, conducting digestion
trials with animals, have learned
that chromogens pass through
the digestive tract as-indigesta-
ble compounds. They serve as
an accurate indicator of what
the animal has eaten, but such
feeding trials are time-consuming
and expensive.
"Our problem," says Cowan,
"has been to find a short cut to
the possible place of chromogens
in the nutritive value of plants,
Chemical removal of chronogens
from forage plants may be the
answer.

Ford Alters Prices
And Shipping Costs
DETROIT (IrV-The Ford Motor
Co. Wednesday increased the
wholesale price of all its 1954
model cars and trucks, but also
changed its schedule of distribu
tion and delivery charges to
bring about lower prices in some
areas. Price increases ranged
from $3 on a light Ford truck to
$21 on a Lincoln passenger car.
But because of lowered delivery
charges to dealers more than
1,000 miles from Detroit, Ford
said a dealer in Los Angeles, for
example, would realize a net re
duction of charges of as much as
$104 on Lincolns.
