Pork Production
Following Trend
Forecast by College
The recent pig crop forecast of the
United States department of agri
culture, showing that farmers have
intended to make a further reduc
tion in the pig crop of 1941 com
pared with 1940 and 1939, confirms
the hog outlook issued from Oregon
State college last fall, according to
L. R. Breithaupt, extension agricul
tural economist.
To what extent the intentions of
hog producers in the corn and hog
states may be changed owing to the
advice of Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard to raise more pigs in 1941
is problematical at this time, al
though it is possible that the hog
situation may be changed material
ly, especially by 1942.
The Oregon outlook statement
which was issued last September,
.tated that "the outlook for meat
animals for marketing during the
940-41 season appears more favor
able than the long-tima prospect,"
as "consumer demand for meats
during the 1940-41 marketing sea
son is expected to be stronger than
during the 1939-40 season and the
total quantity of livestock to be
marketed is expected to be smaller."
It was further pointed out in the
college statement on the meat ani
mals outlook that the reduction in
the meat supply during the 1940-41
marketing year would be due prin
cipally to fewer hogs. The supply of
hogs for the 1939-40 season was the
greatest in five years, following the
largest pig crop on record in 1939.
The pig crop of 1939 was estimat
ed at 86 million head. In 1940, the
pig crop was reduced to 77 million
head, and a considerable further re
duction in 1941 was indicated by the
pig crop report.
The effect on meat supplies of the
secretary's advice to farmers to mar
ket more beef instead of continuing
to hold back large numbers of cattle
for breeding stock, is also problem
atical. The soundness of this sug
gestion is not questioned, says Pro
fessor Breithaupt, but if followed
extensively there will be more meat
on the market than appeared prob
able last September.
On the other hand, consumer de
mand for meat will probably be
even stronger than was anticipated
last fall, indicating that meat prices
may be expected to hold up well
until the supply produced and im
ported becomes materially greater
or consumer purchasing power
drops.

Another Building
First Contingent
9 Cost of Relief
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. Construction of another
state office building, taxing of trucks
and busses, the need for a system
of vocational schools, the condition
of the state institutions. These were
some of the problems discussed by
Governor Charles A. Sprague in his
message to the lawmakers assembl
ed , here for their forty-first bien
nial session this week.
Calling attention to the fact that
two of the largest state departments
the public utilties commission and
the unemployment compensation
commission are now housed in
rented quarters in downtown Salem
the governor suggested that anoth
er building be erected in the cap
ital group opposite the new library
building. To finance its construc
tion he suggested a loan from the
common school fund. ,
Pointing out that licenses, fees
and gasoline taxes now paid by
trucks and busses all go into the
construction and maintenance of the
highways over which those vehicles
operate the governor declared that
they should pay their share toward
the support of the general govern
ment. He recommended that the
legislature either impose an addi
tional tax on these commercial op
erators or capture the present earn
nings tax which amounts to more
than $1,000,000 a year for this pur
pose. Touching on the subject of edu
cation the governor declared that
"a serious deficiency in our school
system is in vocational education,"
and told the legislature that there
is need for genuine vocational
schools of below-college level located
at strategic centers over the state.
Declaring that "the time is at
hand for an overhaul" of the vet
eran's compensation law and rec
ommending an increase in benefit
payments to permanently disabled
workers and to dependents of de
ceased workers the governor warn
ed against entering into any pro
gram that might endanger the sol
vency of the insurance fund.
The governor pointed with pride
to the balanced budget which he
has prepared for the consideration
of the legislature and urged that
"there must be no extravagance in
appropriating state funds lest this
balance be wiped out."
The first contingent of Oregon's
January quota of trainees will re
port for duty at the Multnomah
county armory next Monday, ac
cording to schedules worked out by
Lt. Col. Elmer V. Wooten, state di
rector of selective service. These
will include men from Marion, Polk,
Clackamas and Washington coun
ties. The next day the eastern Ore
gon contingent, men from Malheur,
Baker, Wallowa, Union, Umatilla
Morrow, Gilliam, Grant and Wheel
er counties will report together with
a few additional trainees from Wash
ington, Clackamas and Clatsop
counties. ' Wednesday's contingent
will include trainees from Coos,
Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath,
Lake, Grant, Tillamook, Yamhill and
Jefferson counties. Lane, Benton,
Linn, Lincoln and Columbia coun
ty will furnish the Thursday quota
and the men from Crook, Deschutes,
Harney, Sherman and Wasco coun
ties will report on Friday with
Multnomah county supplying a few
men on each of the five days.
While Governor Sprague is ask
ing the legislature to give him spe
cial authority to organize a state
guard he has no intention of mak
ing use of that authority unless an
emergency should arise requiring
such an organization, he said. Local
and state police have the law en
forcement situation well in hand in
Oregon and there is no present need
for a home guard organization in
this state in the opinion of the gov
ernor. The cost of relief in Oregon shows
a steady year-by-year increase ever
Gazette Times, Heppner,
since the present policy was inaue
urated in 1933 and the end is not
yet in sight, according to figures
compiled by the . state budget de
partment. When the legislative session of
1933 created the state's first seven
member relief commission it was
with the thought that this body
would only supervise the adminis
tration of emergency and unem
ployment relief as financed by coun
ty and federal funds. For the pur
pose of this "supervising" the leg
islature magnanimously appropria
ted the sum of $15,000. But the state
soon discovered that it was not to
get off so lightly and at the special
session which convened in Novem
ber of that same year the lawmakers
authorized the expenditure of $3,
000,000 for relief, the money to come
out of the profits of the state's li
quor monopoly which the lawmak
ers set up at that same session.
Then in 1935 the legislature found
it necessary to still further increase
the state's share of the relief bur-r
den and authorized the expenditure
of $5,500,000, also to be taken out
of liquor profits. The session of
1937 still further increased this bi
ennial authorization to $6,500,000
$5,000,000 out of liquor profits and
$1,500,000 out of the general fund.
Due to technical complications,
however, the $1,500,000 appropria
tion was not touched and this am
ount was recaptured by the 1939
session which added another $600,
000 appropriation from the general
fund and a $6,500,000 authorization
out of liquor profits for a grand total
of $8,600,000.
Continuing this upward trend the
governor has recognized that the
current session still further increase
the state's contribution toward re
lief needs to $9,250,000 of which
$6,799,900 is to come from the liquor
business and $2,450,100 from the
general fund.
Only major amendment to the new
parole law to be sought at this ses
sion of the legislature will be one
requiring committing magistrates to
impose the maximum penalty "as
provided by law" in all cases, ac
cording to Fred Finsley, state par
ole director. Such an amendment
will eliminate the inequalities that
now exist in prison sentences, Fins
ley explained. The longer maxi
mum sentence will not mean longer
prison terms' but will actually tend
to" shorten the time prisoners are
confined, Finsley said. Under the
parole law the new ' parole board
is authorized to release prisoners
as soon as they are found to have
qualified for parole. Factors taken
into consideration in deciding this
question include the attitude of the
prisoner toward society and his con
duct since entering the penitentiary.
Under this policy, copied from other
states operating under similar stat
utes, it is possible for a prisoner
serving a long sentence to be re
leased on parole before he has
completed his first year of penal
servitude whereas another prisoner
under a much shorter sentence
might be detained for a much longer
period.
Indicative of the . splendid con
dition of Oregon's young men 71.2
percent of the first thousand men
examined in this state under the
recent conscription act were found
physically fit for military service,
according to Lt. Col. Elmer V. Woo
ten, state director of selective ser
vice. Another 15.3 percent were
found qualified for limited military
service and only 15.5 percent were
found to be physically unfit.
20th Short Course
For Canners Set
Nineteen years ago Oregon State
college drew nation-wide attention
by holding the first short course
for commercial cannerymen, who
were invited to leave their own
businesses long enough to come to
college and "brush up" on newest
methods. Every year since, a sim
ilar and enlarged course has been
given, and now the twentieth an
nual Canners and Frozen Food Pack
ers school is announced for Febru
ary 3 to 15, inclusive.
The course is offered in the food
industries department, which is rec
ognized as one of the outstanding
research centers in the country in
Oregon
the field of food processing. Courses
offered will include instruction in
handling frozen fruits and veget
ables, a course for food industry
field men, a course dealing with
fruit and vegetable canning, and a
mechanical course in handling mod
ern cannery machinery.
