Turkey Outlook Improved,
While Friuts are Doubtful
The turkey outlook fo r 1941 ¡3
somewhat more favorable than a year
ago according to a report on the ag­
ricultural situation and outlook just
issued by the agricultural extension
service at OSC. The report also in­
cludes outlook information on fruits,
potatoes, milk, meat, eggs and wool
and on horses and mules.
Improvement in the turkey outlook
is atti ibuted in part to a high level
o f consumer purchasing power ex­
pected to continue thru the 1041-42
marketing season fo r turkeys. The
available data also indicates a sligh’
reduction in the turkey crop this year
and a smaller carry-over o f storage
holdings but a possible Increase in
chicken meat.
Better puichasing power is also
important in the outlook fo r fruits,
potatoes and other farm products al­
though offset more or less by weak
foreign demand in the case o f ex­
port crops. Fruits and some other
products have been largely dependent;
upon foreign markets now dosed ow­
ing to the war, to absorb the vol­
ume needed to keep these enterprises
prosperous.
The fru it supply is unusually larg^
owing to increased output and reduc­
ed exports. Despite the improved do­
mestic demand situation the fru it out­
look is not very favorable particular­
ly fo r export type fruit products.
Prices fo r meat, eggs and wool are;
relatively high and the supply o f
feed is generally plentiul. These con­
ditions are being reflected in increas­
ing production o f most kinds o f ani­
mal products. Prices fo r homes and
mules have continued to go down
even while prices fo r other livestock
have been advancing.
Farm producers are confronted
with an upward trend in farm wage
rates and some indication o f an in­
crease in other farm costs and living
expenses.
The report also contains recent
data on the volume o f the nation’ s
food supply, anciuding such items
as 40 billion eggs, and 20 million
pounds o f fresh fruits and numerous

Oil tar creosote a by-product o f
the gas making industry in Portland
and other parts o f the west where
oil is used in manufacturing gas pos­
sesses all the requirements o f a good
wood preservative and can be used
just as well as coal tar creosote fo r
most purposes according to research
carried out by Glenn Voorhis assis­
tant professor o f wood products at
the Oregon state college school o f
forestry.
The results o f Voorhies’s work
have just been published by the en­
gineering experiment station as bub
letin 13, entitled “ Oil T ar Creosote
for Wood preservation.’’
Voorhies
found that the oil tar creosote is al­
most as toxxic to wood destroying
oiganisms as the standard coal tap
creosote and is likely to stay in place
better because o f greater resistence
to volatization. He found that it pos­
sesses good penetrating qualities and

mercial quantities and is readily av-
