& Trends
From State Market Agent.
State Department of Agriculture.
Plans for the organization of the
State Department of Agriculture
are being worked out by Director
Gehlar. The location practically
decided upon is in the State build
ing, Twelfth street The law cre
ating the department provides that
it shall be at the capital and that
the consolidation of the various
boards and commissions shall be in
effect July 1.
While the state fair will be a
function of the new department,
the present board will retain charge
until after the annual exhibit, it
was decided at a conference be
tween Governor Meier and the
board.
Cooperative Council Meets.
At its meeting in Portland last
week the Oregon Cooperative Coun
cil representing 34 of the leading
farmers' marketing organizations
of the state, pledged assistance to
the new state department of agri
culture. Mr. Gehlar outlined in a
general way his policies and invited
cooperation, suggestions and criti
cism. He was received into member
ship as a public representative.
Study Consumer Demands.
Changes in consumers' buying
habits are rapid and should be stud
ied by the producers in the light of
the demand for their products.
They are important
These changes in consumer de
mands have been brought about,
market experts state, by several
factors well known to the careful
observer and including: (1) A new
philosophy of food as a result of the
discovery of vitamins and the cam
paign of education based upon It
for a more balanced diet, (2) De
cline in the amount of hard physic
al labor owing to the increased use
of machinery, (3) Reduction In the
number of working hours, (4) Im
provement in home and commer
cial heating resulting in the need
for less calories of body heat sup
plied by certain foods, (5) Smaller
living quarters encouraging the use
of small package foods, (6) Higher
recent standards of living, (7) Shift
of farm residents to cities and city
folks to farms, both classes of con
sumers undergoing some changes in
their accustomed dietary.
Grade Turkeys.
The Oregon Turkey Growers Co
operative finds that federal inspec
tion and grading of turkeys is prof
itable. Over $200,000 worth of Ore
gon dressed birds graded and pack
ed according to weight were mar
keted by this organization last year.
Egg Grading Profitable.
H. E. Botsford, market specialist
at Cornell university, as a result of
a recent survey on the effect of the
New York egg grading law, states
that a probable increase in egg con
sumption can be accomplished by
selling eggs on a definite grade ba-

sis.
is
less cash sent out of the country for
gasoline and tractor accessories.
Better prices for meat should pre
vail because the horse that will re
place the cattle and sheep on the
farms will not be used for meat
food.
Bees.
The commercial apiaries of Ore
gon are comparatively few in num
ber but contain the bulk of the
bees. The average is said to be
about 200 colonies for the commer
cial apiarists. The markets are sup
plied in large part by those produc
ers although many having but two
or three colonies furnish honey to
neighbors and other sources for
home consumption.
Hog Cholera.
Hog cholera which means tre
mendous loss wherever allowed to
run, will never again be a problem
in Oregon if growers and feeders
use proper precautions. No pur
chases should be made from dis
eased herds and no uncooked pork
product should be fed. Most out
breaks in this state ara started
from these sources or from water
forne infection. Vaccination is now
practically 100 percent perfect and
can always be used if there is dan
ger from nearby infection, states
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian.
Crop Failures Reported.
Reports of a severe condition of
drouth in central Oregon in the lo
cality between the Cascades and
Blue mountains indicate near crop
failure. The greatest drouth se
verity is along the small streams In
the irrigated sections.
Wheat
The Farmers National Grain as
sociation during the latter part of
last week sold 16,000 tons of wheat,
and 14,000 tons the week before, to
the Orient which has developed into
a good market for American sur
plus wheat. Indications for the fu
ture from this source are now fair.
Prices of Pacific coast wheat are
3 to 4 cents high for sales to the
United Kingdom. Australia's acre
age is 30 percent less this year than
last, and Russia's seeding is behind
according to crop reports.
New Packaging Methods.
Many of the states through their
agricultural agencies are urging
growers to grafle and pack farm
produce in small, attractive contain
ers properly labeled. By this means
sales and increased consumption
are stimulated.
New methods of packaging are
being tried out in Florida, under
direction of the Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics. For example, one
large grower packs high quality,
graded potatoes In 5-pound paper
boxes and 12 of these a total of
one bushel are packed in a larger
ventillated pasteboard box ready
for local sale or shipment One lot
of 500 bushels was recently con
signed to a New York firm and re
tailed at around 5 cents a pound or
$3.00 per bushel
Where more attention is paid to
packaging potatoes In Oregon, less
competition from transient growers
is felt.
Farm Costs and Prices,
Reports indicate that farmers
are putting forth Increased efforts
to reduce costs of operation. They
are employing less labor, buying
less fertilizer and equipment. Build
ing operations have been reduced
to the minimum.
Commodities purchased for use
on the farms now average about
134 percent of the prewar average
compared with 153 a year ago. The
cost of producing farm products,
taking Into account higher taxes
and Interest, is about the same as It
was a year ago.
The quality of butter made in Or
egon has Improved very materially
during tne past nve years.
Foodstuff Demands Vary.
Growers should keep themselveg
Informed on the demands for the
various market products. The ten-
ually change and market variations
follow. During the past few years
the use of cereals has decreased
substantially; per capita consump
tion of meat has changed while
more milk, eggs, vegetables and
canned foods are demanded, states
O. S. C. circular on agricultural and
economics .published this month.
Farm Prices Compared.
The following comparison of farm
prices on April 15, with the average
covering the 5-year period 1926-1930
discloses some of the real grief for
the Oregon growers eggs 67 per
cent; chickens 80; butterfat 54;
milk cows 78; hogs 71; sheep 54;
lambs 55; wool 52; beef cattle 75;
veal calves 68; horses 76; wheat 44;
rye 61; corn 72; oats 57; barley 58;
hay 63; potatoes 42; apples 71.
Market Preferences.
New York prefers Plymouth
Rock broilers and white-shell eggs.
And yet brown eggs do not produce
Plymouth Rock broilers.
One of the outstanding notes of
progress in agriculture is the rapid
growth of cooperatives.
Markets Wheat and Hay.
Wheat The world wheat confer
ence held in London last week ad
journed with no definite plan for
caring for the world surplus which
promises to be larger this year than
before. America endorsed the
acreage restriction plan. Russia op
posed this and insisted upon the
quota plan based upon the smaller
prewar period of production. Am
erica objected, with Canada and
Australia, to the quota as unsound
in marketing principle while the So
viets declared acreage reduction
impractical.
Wheat 69-66c. Oats No. 2 white
$22, gray $23. Barley No. 2, 45 lb
$21.50 Corn No. 2 Eastern $26.00.
Hay Markets over country quiet.
New first crop alfalfa practically
harvested and movement quite free
in California and the northwest.
Alfalfa $14-$15, Timothy $15-$17,
Clover $11.00.
Egg production is showing a de
crease throughout the nation. In
the northwest the decline is slight
but more pronounced than last
year. Present storage is less than
a year ago, the shortage being es
timated at 750,000 cases.

Dobbin's Return Announced.
There Is a pronounced shift back
to horses this year. The horse pop
ulation of the country shows an
average of fourteen years while it
should be but seven years.
Apparently horses will replace
some of the sheep and cattle on
many of the pastures of the middle
west because cheap farm products
will not support tractor farming.
This will mean, too, that the con
sumption of feeds raised on the
farm will be Increased by the larger
use of horses In motor power and dencles in food consumption contln-

Man is made for religion. The
constantly seeking soul of him is
not satisfied with all the "things of
this present world" If he does not
find among those things that which
fills and meets his greatest need
his Soul Need!
The the religion which fully sat
isfies and completely meets man's
Soul Need is the Christian Religion.
There are a multiplicity of religions
so-called, but only one Christian
Religion, the Religion of Jesus
Christ!
The Christian religion is free from
the evils of all the other man-devised
systems of religion, while at
the same time holding all and more
than any good they may have in
them.
Men the world over are still try
ing to find Soul Rest and surcease
from woe and sorrow In every way
under the sun except the right and
only way the way of the Christian
Relgiion! The Christian Religion is
fully effective for all our Soul Needs
because It is:
A Transforming Religion not a
reforming religion!
A Non-Oompromisnig Religion!
No compromise with sin!
A Religion of Service and Sac
rifice! A Religion of Love Divine and
Love Compelling!
A Religion of Christian Ethics!
A Religion of Universal Moral
Efficiency!
