Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, May 5, 1938 Page Eight 1938 U. S. Crops May be Largest In Many Seasons Favorable crop prospects in Ore gon are not unlike conditions gen erally in the country as a whole, according to the monthly review of the agricultural situation and out look just released by the Oregon State college extension service. The season is starting off with prospects for crops, ranges and pastures mod erately better than in any of the past several years, which is pretty good considering that crop production last year turned out 13 per cent above the 1924-1929 average. Some parts of the Great Plains area are still lacking in subsoil moisture; so that crop yields in such districts will depend upon adequate rainfall dur ing the rest of the growing season. The abundance of production now in prospect is evidenced somewhat by the April 1 government estimate of winter wheat production 726 mil lion bushels. This compares with 685 million last year and 546 million as the 1927-1936 average. Allowing 200 million for spring wheat, the crop could be large enough to care' for all domestic and export require ments and a very substantial increase ' in surplus stocks. ' Feed grain production prospects are below average, but the supply will be ample considering the near record carry-over and the somewhat reduced (but increasing) numbers of livestock on hand. Conditions are favorable for heavy milk production, and surveys show increases in young chickens and turkeys, owing to favorable feed conditions and better prices for ani mal products relatively than for crop products, statistics show. The report contains various index figures of farm prices, costs and demand conditions, which indicate that the economic position of agri culture is somewhat less favorable than a month ago and materially be low the situation a year ago. The Oregon farm price index is given at 65 per cent of the 1926-1930 aver age level, two points lower than in February and 27 points below March 1937. The farm cost index shows a decline of six points compared with a year ago. Oregon Turkeys Seeking Markets In Other States Oregon must find markets outside of the state for approximately two of each three turkeys raised, H. E. Cosby, head of the poultry depart ment at Oregon State college, points out in a new extension circular en titled, "Turkey Chats." Oregon turkeys are known far and wide for their fine quality, but the increased production of tur keys in states near large terminal markets brings Oregon producers face to face with such problems as quality improvement, lower produc tion costs, orderly marketing, im proved packaging for consumers and advertising, Cosby continues. "The Oregon turkey grower is for tified by years of experience and by availability of quality breeding stock," says Cosby. "He is further protected by having a choice of two methods of marketing his turkey crop through established indepen dent dealers and established coop erative marketing associations serv ing the western surplus producing areas. He is still further fortified by having a choice of purchasing his feed3 either through cooperative or independent feed agencies." The seven-page circular contains considerable specific information re lating to steps in most efficient tur key production. Feed formulas are given for both breeding and grow ing flocks. The handling of breed ing stock is discussed at some length, as is the handling of hatching eggs, the feeding schedule during brood ing, points on finishing turkeys for market, and methods for avoiding off -flavors in turkey meat. The cir cular, No. 314, may be obtained free. Every qualified elector in Oregon over the age of 50 years would be entitled to a weekly pension of from $10 to $25 under the terms of a pro posed initiative measure sponsored by Eugene Burr of Portland and El lis Bennett of Salem.

Benefit payments would be limited to $10 a week for the first six months after the measure be comes operative, ranging up to a maximum of $25 a week beginning with the second year of operation. The pensions would not be paid in cash but in "retirement compensation warrants" or scrip to be issued by the state and retired through a series of "warrant redemption stamps" one to be affixed to the warrant each week by the firm or individual hold ing the warrant on Wednesday. With an estimated 183,000 men and women in Oregon who have passed their 50th birthday it would require the issuance of $1,830,000 of the pro posed "warrants" each week at the outset of the proposed program.
