harmoniously with functional ruRgedness, this sturdy 1955 GMC pickup
shows the new concept in styling that is featured in GMC Truck and
Coach Division's new "Blue Chip" line of 128 basic truck models. Note
the panoramic windshield, cadet peaks over the headlights, and distinc
tive front-end design. The new pickup, powered by either a 6-cylinder or
a V-8 gasoline engine, is the answer for families who want a high-styled
truck that will double as the family car.

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.

A fine time was had by the
grade school band at Arlington
March 25. 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.

Situation and Outlook" circular
