Larger Plantings Of Barley, Corn Seen For Oregon Larger plantings of barley and corn are planned for 1955 on di verted acres in Oregon and the nation despite the likelihood of lower prices. Oat acreage in the state is expected to be reduced about 5 percent. Economists at Oregon State col lege point out in their latest "Agri cultural Situation and Outlook" circular that barley and corn remain attractive crops on many Oregon farms even though na tional farm support rates are be ing lowered and large stocks are still on hand from previous crops. Barley ranks close to the head of the list of crops suited to much of the land being diverted from wheat and cotton, the econ omists explain in the circular. Under the 1954 program, bar ley plantings in Oregon almost doubled. The buildup in barley stocks has been much faster in Oregon and the Northwest than in the nation, they continue. Stocks on hand when the new harvest starts probably will be more than six times as large as a year ear lier. On top of this will come an even larger crop than harvested In 1954 if yields hold up. Eventu ally, most of this barley and other grains will have, to move to market through livestock. Even though prices are likely to be moderately lower, corn can make good returns on the better soils in Western Oregon and some irrigated sections of Eastern Ore gon, say the economists. That's especially true in Malheur and Umatilla counties. Probably bet ter returns can be realized by marketing through livestock than selling for cash. Large stocks of corn now on hand throughout the nation, plus prospects for this year's crop, all point toward large supplies for the coming season. Exports and use for feed lagged during the first quarter of the current mar keting season. This left record national stocks on hand January 1, up more than 100 million bus hels over a year earlier. IONE School Notes The Athletic banquet will be given by the Girls League on April 1. The banquet will be at 6:30 at the cafetorium. At 9:00 the dance will be held in the old gym.

A fine report came back on our band. The soloist of the high school band went to La Grande on March 26. The ratings are as fol- Barley is replacing corn to some extent in Oregon feed ra tions, according to the ecpno mists, but the state is likely to continue using more corn than it produces for several years at least until wheat is priced into the market. Market prices for the new oat crop probably will be near loan rates. These range from $41 to $45 a ton in Oregon counties. Chances for oat prices' above sup port rates hinge mainly on the weather. Shopping around for prices above supports may pay grain growers, the economists suggest, but sufficient storage to qualify for loans looks like good insur ance against a price squeeze.
