Unstable Income
On Oregon Farms
May Follow 1941
Expected general improvement in
farm purchasing power next year
will probably be temporary even
though prices of most farm products
except those in the "export type"
group are likely to be moderately
higher, according to the current re
port on the agricultural situation
issued by the O. S. C. extension
service. The report reviews the gen
eral outlook in Oregon for farm
income, costs and family living.
"Looking beyond 1941, the tern
porary improvement in the exchange
value of farm products expected
next year may be lost in 1942 or
later, owing first to advances in the
cost of farming and farm family liv
ing, likely to be followed by a more
rapid decline in farm prices than in
other prices when war and defense
spending drops oil, the report
states.
The report contains much addi
tional data and comment on agri
cultural and industrial conditions
and prospective trends with sections
on domestic and foreign demand, the
general price level, food require
ments and surplus removal mea
sures, farm production, price and
income prospects, farm and living
costs and brief outlook reviews for
"export-type" farm products versus
"domestic-type" and "import-type"
farm products. The market outlook
ahead is said to be less favorable
for "export-type" commodities than
for products which are on a domes
tic basis.
The long-time trend of interna
tional trade conditions in farm pro
ducts has been against the United
States for 40 years, except the period
affected by the first world war, the
report shows. Thus far the present
world war has been destructive of
export demand for Oregon's prin
cipal export farm products, such as
wheat, apples, pears, and prunes.
The prosects are that export out
lets for principal Oregon farm pro
ducts will remain poor while the
