Price Levels On
Farm Production
Similar to 1938 i
With the general farm price level
steady to firm at about the same
average level as a year ago and
farm costs generally slightly lower,
the principal difference in the cur
rent agricultural situation compared
with last year is in crop prospects,
according to information contained
in the latest monthly review of eco
nomic conditions as they pertain
to agriculture just released by the
agricultural extension service at
OSC.
Government information as of
June 1 covering all crops in the
nation as a whole indicated a total
output 7 per cent less than last
year. The drought in the westen
part of the United States was re
lieved by rains late in May and
in June, and extra favorable wea
ther could still result in a general
level of crop production equal to
the usual output in the country as
a whole, of course, although it is
fairly certain that some early crops
will be short.
Prospects for the hay crops, farm
pastures, and for barley and oats
on June 1 were lower than in any
season of record since 1934, and
western ranges were the poorest of
record except 1934 and 1937. On
the other hand, the carry-over of
feed grain and hay is fairly large
in much of the country. Yields of
corn and some other late crops have
not yet been estimated.
United States and world wheat
crops will be smaller, but the carry
over is large enough to offset the
expected reduction in production
this year. The United States rye
crop is also much smaller than last
year and below average.
Prospects for fruit and nut crops
were generally favorable on June 1.
The pear crop was expected to be
only slightly less than last year.
Apples were reported above average
condition in the central and east
ern states and slightly below aver
age in the west. The California
prune crop is expected to be smaller
than last year, but prospects are
favorable in the Pacific northwest.
The Oregon index of the general
level of farm prices and the United
States index both stood at 64 per
cent of the 1926-1930 average as of
May 15, according to data, given
in the extension service report.
Compared with a year previous,
the Oregon index was up two points
while the United States index was
down one. The report, which is
available from county agents, con
tains several tables of data on farm
prices, costs, and demand factors,
and other current and comparative
information.
367 NEW LAWS
(State Capital Press Bureau)
Oregon now has 367 new laws
which it did not have before June
14. On that date all the laws passed
by the 1939 legislature except those
carrying emergency clauses went
into effect, 90 days after adjourn
ment. ' " " "
Silliest new law was one forbid
ding the catching of female craw
fish, or male crawfish under 2Vz
inches in length. The law does not
explain how to determine the sex
of "crawdads." -
