Sharp Gains Are
Made in General
Farm Price Level
IX spite a slight loss in purchas
ing power of cash crops as a group,
the general level of prices received
by farmers in the United States
registered a very sharp gain from
mid-September to mid-October, an
analysis of the data by OSC ex
tension economists shows. The crop
group advancid three percent in
price while the parity index of farm
costs rose 34 percent during the
p riod.
Under decontrol conditions, the
index of prices received by farm
ers for animal products rose 20 per
cent, carrying the overall farm
price level up 12 percent above
midSeptember. Thus tile overall
index of the exchange value of
(arm products rose to 132 percent
of parity. The highest previous
"parity" level was 123 in July 1946.
Oregon's general farm price level
rose 9 percent from mid-September
to mid-October, following decontrol
of prices for meat animals. The
spread in costs is probably of great
er significance to more farm fam
ilies in Oregon, however. It is char
acteristic of postwar price trends
that costs do not go down as fast
or as far as prices for farm pro
ducts. Even before the 3li percent ad
vance from mid-September to mid
October, the national index of pri
ces paid by farmers for commodi
ties, interest and taxes stood at 15
percent above a year previous.
Thus the high tost of farming and
of farm family living is becoming
of considerable to many farm op
erators and associated industries,
the extension service points out.
Oregon's Citizens Make
Record 'Keep Green' Year
Salem, Nov. 9 (Spaeial) Ore
gon's citizens won high praise from
State Forester N. S. Rogers for
outstanding cooperation in the
state's fire prevention program
which has kept forest fires to a
gratifying low for the 1946 season,
both in acreage burned and in
number of man-caused fires.
"Due very largely to the efforts
of the Keep Oregon Green associa
tion which has conducted an in
tensive state-wide educational cam
paign to prevent forest fires, there
wire only 516 man-caused blazes
in protected forest lands this sea
son," the state forester pointed out.
"By far the most encouraging part
of our preliminary 1946 estimates
is the extremely small amount of
forest land burned, only 8,459 acres!
on private, state, and county lands,"
the state official disclosed. "Only in
1942 was this record exceeded and
then we lost 7.163 acres and had
424 man-caused fires.'
Forester Rogers pointed out that
there had been a steady decline
in both the number of fires caused
by carelessness and in the area of
land burned over since 1940 when
the Keep Oregon Green association
first undertook its program of pre
vention of fires. In 1945 the total
area burned jumped as the third
rc-burning of the blackened Tilla
mook stump patch covered over
200.000 aares, and in 1943 when
careless fern burners set fire to
more than 25,000 acres of fern
covered junior forest land where
young seedlings were getting a
start.
"We are more than pleased that
the efforts of our county Keep
Green committees and the work of
our state committee has resulted
in these outstanding results," said
Dean Paul M. Dunn, of Corvallis,
state Keep Oregon Green leader.
"This is a difficult year with many
thousands of additional travelers
and tourists using the forest lands
of our state."
Lynn Cronemiller, assistant state
forester, who has been tabulating
and analyzing fire returns from
the state's wide-spread protection
network, called attention to an in
teresting feature of the 1941 fire
sason when 681 lightning fires were
started in a single season, an all
time record. In a two-day period.
Jeily 14 and 15, the lightning pyro
technics which most Oregonians
still remember, started 515 blazes.
Worst fire of the 1946 season,
Cronemiller points out, was in
Douglas county and covered 1500
acres. It was one of 50 lightning
fires started in an isolated area
in eastern Douglas county on Scar
ed Man mountain. Ray Hampton,
fire control chief for the Umpqua
national forest, gave assistance on
the Scared Man mountain fire,
sending in men on foot and sup
plies on pack train. Fred South
wick, district warden for the Doug
las Fire Protective association,
dropped supplies to fire fighters by
plane in this fire battle which was
fought in rugged, almost inaccessi
ble timber country.
SICCESSFIX POTATO, OXION
CAMPAIGN' TO BE lOXTIMED
The statewide potato and onion
campaign to help Oregon producers
market oversize creips of these
commodities has been an "outstand
ing success," according to a report
from John L. Denny of the state
PMA office, secretary of the spe
cial food trade's committee which
directd the October 18-November
9 drive.
Both consumers and the food
trade have cooperated to he lp pro
ducers out of a difficult market
ing situation, Denny said. Increased
consumer buying is reflected in re
ports of greatly increased sale's
from representative retailers, who
featured potatoes and onions at at
tractive prices for quantity lots.
The Central Oregon potato produc
ing area reports that carlot ship
ments to November 1 were 531 car
loads, almost 100 cars ahead of the
433 car-for the same period a year
ago.
Although the state campaign
ended on November 9, Denny poin-
Charles Furlong is still confined
to the hospital in Pendleton, to
which place he was taken several
weeks ago.

PLAIN KKLATIX I'SED TO
REVIVE 1I.MP RAYON Dl'DS
Komeniakers can wear their des
sert instead of eating it if they
follow the advice of Myrtle Carter,
acting clothing specialist of the OSC
extension service. Mrs. Carter sug
gests using gelatin as a stiff ener
feir a rayon garmtit that loses body
in laundering.
The method is to dip the garment
in a gelating solution, using ap
proximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of
gelatin for dress and less for
blouse or a garment of sheer ma
te rial. The gelatin is soaked in cold
water and then dissolved in about
two quarts ot boiling water. This
solution is poured in a bowl large
enough to hold a dress, and cold
watt r r.dded until it is comfortable
to the hands. The garment is dip
ped in this solution and squeezed
gently. The garment is then rolled
in a bath towel until it is suffi
ciently dry to mm. Experience will
determine the exact amount of gel
atin nvressary for a particular gar
men, Mrs. Carter adds.
Tlain gelatin, rather than the fla
vored type, is used. The plain pro
duct is more readily available than
the flavored variety, although not
all stores have been able to obtain
it.

How to Handle
a Fortune
Some months ago I reported in
the Clarion how Mel Bute's uncle
died up north, and left him with a
tidy fortune.
Naturally, our town was curious
to sec how Mel would spend it:
Traveling around tho worlj . . .
getting a new house or car . . .
wearing fancy clothes ... or din
ing on cold pheasant and cham
pagne . . . ?
We can now report, Mel hasn't
changed a bit! Drop in on him any
night, and you'll find him in his
shirt sleeves by the fire, chatting
with the Missus, sharing mellow
glass of beer with friends.
From where I sit, Mel has
learned the art of handling money
as well as handling people. You
don't let cash-in-the-bank push
you around any more than you
le t people push you around. If you
like the simple, homey life; com
panionship and quiet ways; a glass
of beer and friendly talk that's
Korlh a fortune, after all I
