A prospective increase in raw ma terials prices Including farm com modities, better and cheaper credit and less unemployment with con sequent better demand for farm products, are forseen as likely de velopments in 1934 in the first of the agricultural situation and out look reports for this year just is sued by the economists of the Ore gon State College extension service. This issue, which is the annual review and outlook number put out at the start of each year, has been prepared by L. R. Breithaupt, ex tension agricultural economist, as sisted by A. S. Burrier, associate, and H. H. White, assistant econo mists. It is now ready for distri bution through any county agent or direct from Corvallis. Total supply of agricultural pro ducts for the ensuing year is ex pected to be less but no great im provement in export demand is for seen at present, hence any mater ial improvement in the economic position of agriculture must come largely from improvement in the home market, the report points out. Home demand, moreover, depends on the continued flow of income to industrial workers, hence any Im provement in business conditions should be reflected in agricultural betterment, even though It brings some advance in farm labor costs and prices of farm supplies. The new year starts out with farm prices 14 points above the low level reached early in 1933, though it is not equally distributed to all branches of agriculture. Farm pur chasing power is not comparably improved because of the advance in prices of things farmers buy. Complete application of the AAA programs and other projects de signed to adjust production to the probable demand, are expected to balance the temporary disadvant age to agriculture of the price ad vances under the NRA and similar movements the review sets out The review is illustrated with charts, graphs and tables which help give a complete but easily un derstood picture of the agricultural business outlook as the new season starts. It also contains suggestions and aids to farmers In making out operating budget and keeping farm accounts so as to put their enter prise on a strictly business basis. Examiner's Schedule Changed for County Inasmuch as the re-licensing of Oregon motor vehicle operators in the eastern part of the state has been almost completed, it has been deemed advisable to combine the two eastern Oregon traveling ex aminers' territories so that they might be more economically oper ated, announced Hal E. Hoss, sec retary of state, this week. For this reason, a new schedule has been drafted which will be handled by C. M. Bentley, examiner. Effective February 1st, the ex aminer will be on duty at Heppner once every four weeks, beginning Saturday, February 24th, 1934. He will return on Saturday, March 24th, and continue on this basis until further notice. The hours will be from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. and the lo cation will remain at the courthouse. Movies and Slide Sets Used Widely in Oregon Corvallis Visual aid material from the state system of higher ed ucation was used by schools, clubs, granges and other organizations In more counties this year than ever before, according to the annual re port just issued by U. S. Burt, head of the department of visual Instruc tion in the general extension division. Moving picture films, slide sets, charts and other visual aid mater ials are all sent out now from a single office on the Oregon State college campus. Under this unified plan, the budget for the work has been cut from more than $10,000 a year to less than $5000 a year. The consolidated library now In cludes 316 motion picture films and 790 glass and film slide sets, mak ing it one of the finest visual aid libraries in the United States, the report shows. The smallest service fee in effect .anywhere, ranging from 10 to 25 cents a set, Is the only charge made for the use of this vast store of Interesting educational ma terial, A recent express company ruling allows the return of such material at half the out-going rate. Last year more than 250,000 per sons viewed materials from the vls ual aid library at meetings or classes held in 30 Oregon counties. Requests also came from five other states for materials, Blasting Drain Ditches Has Limited Application Digging drainage ditches with dynamite is usually an economical method only where a tractor or team cannot be used, but in such places the work can be done quick ly and well at fairly reasonable cost, says Art King, extension soils specialist at Oregon State college. Methods of blasting ditches have changed greatly In the last few years, since the passing of the sur plus low powered war explosives, says King. Now the accepted prac tice is to use dynamite running 50 to 60 percent nitro-glycerine. Sin gle sticks of this kind are put in the ground along the line of pro posed ditch, and placed shallow in stead of three to four feet under ground, as was beat with the slow powder. When properly placed in wet ground, such a charge may be set ofT by firing a single stick with a cap, King explains. The result Is a ditch 3 to 4 feet deep and 8 to 12 feet wide, costing from 6 to 10 cents a foot. The wetter the ground the better the job. In fact, some standing water is no handicap. Mr. King does not recommend home use of this method unless the aid of the county agent or other ex perienced person is obtained. Blast ed ditches are used only where run ning water will keep them open, and not for collecting seepage. U. of O. Students Write Early Oregon Stories Eugene.

One of the producers decided to advertise. His in creased sales enabled him to make the traps for 1 Oc each. He then sold them to the trade for 1 5 cents. The purchaser bought them at 25 cents. Who paid fo the advertising? Not the maker of the rat traps, because he made more money, by selling more traps. Not the retailer, for he made the same profit on less outlay. Not the purchaser, because he bought for five cents less. Who paid for the advertis ing? Why, the fellow who didn't advertise, and the dumed rats with their lives, on account of the large increase in the use of traps. Jk iu iwa iUfi iw
