HERE'S MORE ABOUT Business Activity Fails to Halt Farm Downtrend Consumers probably will con tinue spending heavily’ for food and fiber in the second half of 1955, but this does not seem like ly to offset the price of depressing effects of lower supports for grains and larger supplies of meats and some other Oregon farm products, according to t^ July issue of “Agricultural situa tion and Outlook,,” Issued through Oregon State college. Farm prices are likely to be under last summer and fall for grains, dairy products, meat ani mals and wool, potatoes, most fruit and vegetable and some seeds. Prices are likely to be the same or higher most of the time for eggs, turkeys, hay, cover crop and tuff seeds, peppermint oil, strawberries, peaches and prunes. During the first half of the year, Oregon farm prices averag ed 2 per cent below last year. Nationally, they were down five per cent for the same period. Off the most from last year in Ore- gno were hogs, oatj turkeys and milk. Higher were potatoes, hay and wheat. Oregon’s income from the sale of farm products during the first four months was about the same as last year. Livestock products were seven per cent lower. Crops were nine per cent higher. Na- tionally, cash farm receipts were off about three per cent from the same months last year. Farm costs, on the other hand, showed little change. Lower pric es and fairly steady costs put the buying power of farm products at further disadvantage. The par ity ratio, the relationship be tween prices received and prices paid by farmers, stood at 87 at mid-May. That is three points lower than a year earlier and 13 points below level set by Congress as a fair exchange rate for farm products. Little change is in sight for the remainder of the year. Live stock production may average about the same, with larger sup plies of some items offset by smaller supplies of others. The season is still too young to predict the crop outturn with certainty. But, if weather is aver age. total crop production is not likely to be much different than last year. It all adds up to the proba bility that large agricultural «rup- pliea will continue to ke«*p farm prices from going up With low er prices and not much change in marketing, receipts from the sale of farm products may average lower Farm production coats may be down a little, but not as much as gross income. This would mean less money going into farmers’ pockets this year. THURSDAY.
