Better Outlook
Reported by OSC
On Farm Markets
Moderately improved farm market
prospects in general are indicated
from information just published by
the Oregon agricultural extension
service, at least for crops showing
no material increase in available
supplies for market during the 1940
41 season.
The improvement is expected to
be associated with the somewhat
higher level of consumer purchasing
power expected in the current mar
keting season compared with 1939
40. Domestic demand is expected to
improve more than enough to offset
poorer foreign demand prospects
owing to the war.
The report deals more specifically
with market prospects for apples,
potatoes, turkeys, and walnuts, all
important commercial products of
Oregon which are marketed largely
during the fall and winter months.
The full report containing this mar
ket prospects information is avail
able from county agents or direct
from the college. It is intended to
assist producers and marketing men
in analyzing the situation and mar
ket prospects in relation to market
ing the products they have produced
for sale.
Another section of the extension
service report deals with farm in
come prospects for Oregon in 1940
and indicates a probable gain of
around 5 per cent over 1939 owing
to a higher general average farm
price level in 1940 and probably a
slight increase in gross volume of
produtcion.
Considerable data are given on
imports of forage crop seeds, re
ceipts of which from foreign coun-

Scarcity, Writes Luckman Relative
Reassurance is given Walter and
Charlie Luckman by a nephew liv
ing near Manchester, England, that
the country is far from panic, its
people eating regularly and indus
try generally running smoothly de
spite constant threat of German air
raids. A letter recently received and
dated Manchester, August 18, says
in part:
"Actually things are gbing on here
very steadily and smoothly. There
is ample food. . . . There are restric

Flying Squad Aids
Game Protection
A special flying squad of law en
forcement officers in plain clothes
and an airplans to spot violators are
being used to augment the regular
force of state police during the pre
sent hunting season.
The men who have been selected
from the field personnel of the Ore
gon State Game commission are
working directly under Frank B.
Wire, state game supervisor, and will
be shifted throughout the state, per
haps working one week in one sec
tion and the next in another.
The airplane will carry an officer
in addition to the pilot who will be
equipped with a two-way radio set.
If poachers shooting pheasants are
spotted, the officer in the plane will
communicate location of such viola
tors in automobiles on the road.
"The aim of the game commission
is to prevent law violations," said
Mr. Wire. "More effective patrol
work can be done, we believe, thru
officers working in the same type
of clothes worn by the hunters.
Many of the regular state officers
are working in plain clothes this
year, too."
Transfer of the local Gamble store
from Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hagerman
to Conley and Lanham of Havre,

Mrs. Hagerman plan to go to Neb

tries have declined sharply during
recent months compared with the
same period last year. The "decline
is attributed partly to interference
with international trade by the war
and partly to increased domestic
production to meet domestic needs.

"Transport service runs reeularlv
but the services are less frequent

"We ' have had several air-raid
warnings in our district and odd
planes have been over but no big
attack has been made here as yet
"When the air-raid sirens go a
mournful wailing note which rises
and falls we toddle off to shelter.
Those who have the Anderson steel
shelters are pretty safe from all ex

it wouldn't be much use bothering
whilst those without steel shelters
have usually made the space under
the stairs habitable as a shelter. So
far it's not been too bad getting out

weather comes."
The letter refers to the "dig for
victory" campaign, evidencing that
all available soil is being tilled to
the limit to provide more food. The
people are all engaged in war work
in addition to carrying on regular
activity, showing that Britain is
carrying on nobly. The writer said
no one in Britain expects the United
States to enter the war, believing
that assistance with food and mater
ials of war would be more help than
the sending of troops, the subsis
tence for which would detract from
the flow of availalbe supplies from
this country.
