The developing supply and situation in grain and hay markets suggests the us ual post-harvest advance in Oregon prices for these com modities Wheat prices may go up more than they did the past marketing season. This is the outlook as report ed by Stephen C. Marks, Ore gon State University extension agricultural economist, in the new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook circular from the OSU Cooperative Extension Service. Copies of the circular are avail able from county extension of fices. Harvest time p r i c e s for wheat, feed barley and oats are likely to be lower than last summer, but higher hay prices are indicated. Little change from the past two years is seen for malting barley. Lower loan rates, higher cost marketing certificates, and lar ger U.S. C a r r y o v e r s of soft wheat are among the har vest time price weakening forces at work in the wheat market, Marks notes. Favorable Forces Forces favoring a broader after harvest advance include lower harvest time prices, a growing world d e m a n d for wheat, higher export subsidy, the prospect of a smaller world wheat crop than last year and possibly a smaller supply, in creased domestic use of wheat for feed, and prospects of a smaller total U.S. soft wheat crop. More uncertain forces that can also influence prices in clude the size and quantity of purchase authorizations under Public Law 480, changes in ex port subsidy, Commodity Credit Corp, sales policy and federal legislation for 1966-crop wheat as well as natural and man- M eat Should Remain Refrigerated Keep your meat away from summer heat. The refrigerator Is the place for it both in the markets and at home. This warning is sounded by Dr. M.L. Houston, supervisor of the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s meat inspection service, as summer tempera- tempera tures push upward and the sea son for picnics and cookouts moves into full swing. Reminding that temperatures inside an auto shoot up rapidly in summer heat. Dr. Houston's advice is "purchase meat just before going home” and "don’t leave picnic baskets withkneat In the trunk of the car long enough for the meat to heat." He pointed out that rising temperatures increase the num ber of microorganisms, and these plus natural enzymes in fresh meat can result in "spoil ed” meat that causes food poisoning Houston also had a word of warning on canned meats, not ing "fully cooked" does not mean it is processed to the point it is sterilized, only that it has been heated to at least 148 degrees. Summer months also mean extra care should be given p o u l t r y . Immediately after slaughter it should be chilled and then kept cool until "ready for the pan." On the cooking of meat, Dr. Houston pointed out this means thorough h e a t i n g , not just singed on each side and re minded that regardless of the season pork should always be attequately cooked to guard against trichinosis JACKSONVILLE C IT Y ORDINANCE No. 77 AMENDED An amendment to city ordinance No. 77 was adopted by the Jacksonville City Council July 13.

Loan rates at the Portland terminal and in most Oregon counties are three cents a bushel below rates for the 1964 wheat crop, Marks points out. County rates reflect the Port land terminal loan of $1.44 less cost of transportation from county points to the terminal.

Religion Issue To Be Probed By Educators Competition comes from 10 states and Mexico. Copies of the fact sheet are now available from county extension offices or from the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corvallis. N ew Program Announced At College The division of health, physi cal education ami recreation at Southern Oregon College may prepare elementary education specialists in physical educa tion, beginning with the fall term. Announcement of the new program was made by D r. E. C. McGill, dean of faculty, who said that this means “ that we will now be preparing teachers in elementary education who will also have special prepara tion in the areas of physical education and health on the secondary level. The division of health and physical educa tion has been given the author ity to prepare secondary edu cation teachers to be certified under the basic norm.” “ At present those who wish to meet the requirement under the basic norm for teaching physical education will have to choose a major in some other field of their choice," he ex plained. There are many teach ers in southern Oregon who are teaching physical education and coaching in the high schools who are now doing so with, less than the normal requirements for basic norm certification. This situation is due to the fact that in the past the college had not been given authority to of fer preparation in the field which w o u l d constitute the teaching major in physical edu cation. New courses have been add ed to the curriculum at SOC | to effectively carry out the new programs. The explosive issue of religion in public schools w ill be exam ined July 19-21 at the Univer sity of Oregon during a confer ence specifically designed for school board members, school board attorneys, superinten dents, and other community leaders.

Under the 1965 price support program, sedimentation tests are discontinued as a basis for premiums, but protein premi ums for wheat are increased, prices may be only slightly lower than last year at harvest time, the winter peak may not rise as high as for the past year. Marks continues. The post-harvest high could occur before the new year. Among other things, price be havior will depend upon the size of the corn crop and ex port and domestic demand, he points out. Barley supplies are generally lower than a year ago and smaller harvests are in prospect for 1965. Carryovers of competing feed grains also are down. With supplies smaller this year, barley growers probably will be inclined to hold, Marks adds, pointing out it usually "The production of commer pays to store barley for after cial strawberries in Oregon is h a r v e s t sales, especially if not a simple operation.

Britt Festival Will Run Two Weeks Longer Hopes that the 1965 Peter Britt Music Festival in Jackson v ille w ill draw more than 10, 000 persons were expressed this week by John Trudeau, festival music director and conductor. "There are three basic reasons why attendance should greatly eclipse last year's audiences tot aling about 6 ,5 0 6 ," Trudeau stated. The most obvious reason is that this year's festival w ill run two weeks longer, be ginning August 3 and running through August 28. The music director stated the second reason for expected growth is that the festival has been gaining national publicity in the past three years and the interest has grown both on the part of the media of communi cations and the general public. "The third and mast important factor deals with the music it self, " Trudeau explained. "The variety of programs this year w ill undoubtedly appeal to a broader segment of the popu lation with special attention to the people of this area." During the first two weeks concerts w ill be presented at the Britt Cardens in Jacksonvil le by principal members of the festival orchestra. They are Concerto in C, Wagner's Sig- fried Id yll and Ibert's Divertis sement. Other music to be presented during the festival includes! Milhaud's Creation of the World, Mozart's Eine Klelne Nachtumik, Shostakovitch's Piano Concerto, Op. 3S, Bartók's Hungarian Sketches, Brahm's Serenade #2 ’ In A Major, J.S. Bach's Double V io lin Concerto, D Minor, Beethoven's Symphony #6 "Pastoral", Boyce's Symphony #3 in C Major, Ravel's Le Tom- beau De Couperin and Gina- stera's Variations Concertante. Four special youth concerts w ill be given at 11 a .m . each Saturday morning of the festi v a l. Programs w ill be announ ced. A series ticket for the four concerts can be obtained for $1.50. Otherwise single ad missions w ill be 50 cents per student. Parents accompanied by a student w ill be admitted free.

He suc ceeded in isolating seven key compounds which he recom bined in a test tube and added to fresh butter. The laboratory • produced flavor was fed into a gaa chro matograph, a device that elec trically separates chemicals and records them on graph paper. The first graphs, whem com pared with charts of the natural flavor, showed peaks where there should have been valleys and curves where there should have been straight lines. Lind say took them back to the lab and tried again. After many attempts, the graphed "person ality” of the artificial product finally began to resemble nat ural butter flavor. The next step was to test it on human beings Flabor panels of 165 college students were asked to evalu ate the product. The results of several such tests, said Lind- lay, show that the average per son can not tell the difference between the natural and arti ficial flavors. State and federal laws now prohibit adding flavor chemi cals to dairy products, but dairymen have shown interest In Lindsay's work. “ If the laws are changed, manufacturers want to know in advance how to use the new flavors," Lindsay said. Flavor additives may have applications In other foods al though experimental work ta not a t far along.
