Wheat Outlook in
U. S. Better Than
World Situation
With domestic wheat prices being
held well above record-low world
market levels by United States gov
ernment measures and other factors,
the outlook for wheat is better than
world supply and price conditions
would ordinarily suggest, states the
annual wheat market outlook re
port of the O. S. C. extension ser
vice just released. The report shows
that wheat prices in Oregon and in
the country as a whole are about
the same as a year ago, although the
Liverpool price has gone down rap
idly as world wheat supplies have
mounted to record quantities.
On the basis of present supply,
domestic use, and export prospects,
a slight reduction in the carry-over
of domestic wheat next July seems
probable. On the other hand, the
government wheat acreage goal for
planting for harvest in 1940 is 13
per cent above a year ago. Thus the
domestic supply of wheat for the
1940-41 market season will depend
much, as usual, upon growing con
ditions, the report points out
On July 15, the average farm price
of wheat in Oregon was 59 cents a
bushel, compared with 57 cents a
year previous, and $1.02 at the same
date in 1937. In the country as a
whole, the farm price of wheat was
10 per cent lower than last year and
slightly less than 5 per cent of the
1937 level.
With respect to world wheat sup
ply and demand conditions, the re
port shows that stocks have accu
mulated until the supply in pros
pect during the 1939-40 marketing
season is the greatest on record.
Prices at Liverpool are the lowest
for' several hundred years, in step
with the general rule that prices
there fluctuate in line with the world
wheat supply.
As is the situation in the United
States, prices for wheat in the mar
kets of other countries may be high-
er or lower than prices at Liverpool,
owing to special conditions of supply
and demand, and government meas
ures. The report concludes that it is
possible that the demand for wheat
could be increased abroad by change
in the economic and political situation.

Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Morton, Jack

the end of the week and visited
friends while taking in the Rodeo.
Hate Yellow Jackets?
Then Gas or Trap 'Em
Yellow jackets, the ever-present
and unwelcome guest at any picnic,
need not be accepted as "just one
of those things," says Dr. H. A Scul
len, entomologist at Oregon State
college in a mimeographed circular
of information just issued on this
subject.
If one can find the yellow jack
ets' nest the whole colony can be
destroyed by using carbon bisulfide
in various ways described in the
circular. If the nest is not found, an
ordinary fly trap baited with meat
or fish will collect these bother
some insects. This method ia used
effectively around canneries. The
circular, No. 205, is free.
Mrs. Frank Alfred came home
from her work at The Dalles over
the week end and took in the Ro
deo with Mr. Alfred.
