Farm Prices Shade
Down in OSC Report
Sesonal influences and good crop
prospects have produced some down
trend in the general level of farm
prices during the past two months,
although consumer purchasing pow
er has been fairly well maintained,
according to a review of the agricul
tural situation just published by the
Oregon Agricultural Extension ser
vice at Corvallis-
With United States farm prices at
mid-August averaging 123 percent
of the prewar level, or 87 percent
of the 1926-1930 average, the index
was two points lower than in July
and one point lower than August,
1936. The farm cost index, however,
at 132, was six points higher than a
year previous, placing the farm
commodity purchasing power index
at 93 which is equal to the 1126-30
average, but six points under Aug
ust, 1936. v
The report says that general crop
prospects declined less than one per
centv during August, the moderate
drop in corn, wheat and flax esti
mates being nearly offset by slightly
improved prospects for apples, dried
prunes, walnuts, pecans, potatoes,
hops, beans and rice. Clover seed
prospects are much below last year
and far below average.
With respect to the 1937-38 potato
market situation, the circular gives
current and statistical data of par
ticular importance to potato produc
ers in view of the increased produc
tion this season forecast by the gov
ernment. The potato market situa
tion is also characterized by a
larger than average percentage of
the crop expected to be harvested
in the western states and by slightly
lower than average prices for com
peting foods at wholesale.
Probably the most significant po
tato data in the report is that which
shows a sixteen-year record of the
average farm price of potatoes in
Oregon from September to Decern.
ber, compared with the average from
January to April. These figures give
a basis for determming a seasonal
marketing program based on price
behavior as related to the supply
and demand situation for potatoes.
