Farm Prices
Shoot Far Up
nding of food price controls
has shot farm prices to the high
est levels in history, the Oregon
State college extension service
said today.
The prices received by farm
ers on October 15 were 273 per
cent of the 1910-14 average, a
jump of 12.3 per cent over the
preceding month, and 37 per
cent more than a year ago.
Prices paid by farmers rose
to 207 per cent of the 1910-14
average, a gain of 3'ii per cent
in a month, and 18 per cent
more than a year ago.
Decontrol of livestock was
the chief reason for the jump in
farm prices. Since then, other
foods have been decontrolled,
so that the farm price index is
believed to be even higher now.
Farm labor costs, which arc
not included in the index of
farm prices paid, arc 3 Mi times
the aveiage for 1935-39.
The Pacific northwest again
is becoming an exporter of
eggs. Before the war, the re
gion shipped much of its egg
surplus to New York.
But during the war swollen
northwest cities used up the
surplus and eggs had to be
shipped here from the midwest.
Now a few cars a week are
going to the Atlantic coast.
. Shipments of fresh fruits
and vegetables from Oregon is
jt0 under a year ago because of the
car shortage and the delayed
harvest because of the weather.
The same is true in Washing
ton and Idaho. The three states
shipped 3427 cars of fruits and
vegetables last week, a drop of
1400 cars from the preceding
week, and 1088 cars less than
a year ago. Of the total, Oregon
shipped 703.
Oregon's share of next year's
national potato goal is 45.400
acres, 13 per cent less than this
year's productions. The national
goal is 2,669,800 acres.

Racketeers in

Persons purchasing or plan

this week warned against racke

formation on projected sales of
government war surplus and
undercover access to non-existent
or reserved surplus war
property at below cost by C.
T. Mudge, Portland regional di
rector of the war assets admin
istration. The racketeers have gotten
large sums of money from vet
erans, farmers, gasoline station
operators and other non-priority
purchases for phony tip sheets
and questionable publications,
which in all cases have been
comprised chiefly of informa

Mudge's warning against ra

statement assuring the public
that there are legitimate publi
