Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, November 1, 1956 Page 3 Farm Outlook Shows Some Hopeful Signs, Economist Says The farm market outlook is still far from rosy red, but a little more sun is shining through, re ports Marion Thomas, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college. Crops have been good this year, he says, and incomes, including government payments, are up some from last year's lows. Costs are also increasing, but on the average, not quite as much as prices received. Marketings of farm products seems likely to continue heavy for large storage stocks and from this year's big output of crops and livestock. But along in 1957, marketings may decline some as effects of the soil bank are felt, Thomas thinks. Government pay ments will take up much of the income slack, however. Meanwhile, Thomas reports farm debts and farmer use of credit have continued to grow. This may slow up as the tighter money supply and higher rates are felt though. Thomas says farm markets would be hurt if the tighter money policy slows off-farm activity and leads to fewer jobs. Commodity-wise, the farm out look is still spotty. Cattle and hog prices aren't likely to go as low this fall as last, Thomas be lieves, and there's less reason to rush the market this year. The peak of the hog slaughter seems likely to come earlier this fall than last, he explained. Beef mar ketings are also likely to be less bunched this winter. Milk is also bringing more MORE PEOPLE DRIVE 6UICKS THAN ANY OTHER MAKE (Except Chevrolet & Ford) See The New Buick And The New Pontiae- Nov. 9 FARLEY MOTOR COMPANY PONTIAC BUICK CMC WILLYS fain H Hmm SfidJ ml hn Mm I Xwls ti'??N T1 PtnfcUiUstr.i.Sl.ni I I VMWf W ri Glass WmAuvf Window Materials Flexible.

OREGON money now with government pro grams helping to maintain prices a year ago. Wheat, barley and oats are higher priced than a year ago and aren't likely to be .much lower next year . The national supply of feed grains aitd con centrates is expected to total practically the same as last sea son's record amount, with sup plies per animal a little larger. Even so, prices are up some due mainly to higher supports, Tho mas says. Feed grain production in Ore gon will probably continue large in 1957, since soil bank regula tions permit barley and other feed grains on land held out of wheat in summer fallow areas. A small wheat crop is in prospect next year though, Thomas says, because Uncle Sam s "acreage re serve" contracts look good to many wheat growers. Supplies of hairy vetch and crimson clover seed are well be low average and prices next sum mer seem likely to be above average, despite recent weakness in the cover crop seed market. Thomas also reports that price on fine fescues and alsike clover seeds were sent sykrocketing by shorter crops in Canada and Eur ope as well as in the U. S. uregons ryegrass growers haven t been so fortunate, how ever. Large stocks of perennial ryegrass seed are being carried over and odds are that prices will be lower next year unless produc tion is cut, the economist says. Lower prices for perennial rye- PONY KICKS By Shirlee Upton October 31 sets the date for this year's Hayride.

This was followed on grass may give alta and other forage grasses tough competition in the nation's seed stores. Late potatoes are in a fairly good position with marketing agreements and diversion pro grams helping to bring satisfac tory returns to most Oregon growers, but high prices in July and August this year set the stage for a big rush into summer crop potatoes next year, Thomas says. Commercial processing of potatoes seems likely to expand, however, and may help stabilize potato prices in time.

ELMER McCLURE, Master of the Oregon State Grange . .1 want to express my own personal appreciation and to extend to you the thanks of the State Grange for the support and hard work you have done on Hells Canyon legislation and much other legisla tion that is in line with our State Grange program." FLOYD ROOT, of the Oregon Wheat League: "Senator Morse has let all his other work pile up in his office for two days and has done nothing else except contact Senators and explain to them the merits of Domestic Parity. can count at least ten votes that Senator Morse picked up. If Senators Carlson and Morse had not dropped everything and spent their entire time upon this amendment, it is doubtful if we would have been successful" NORRIS E. DODD, Baker wheat rancher, former Under Secretary of Agriculture: "I think you people of Oregon have another man in the Senate as good as Senator McNary. I hope you keep him there. I mean, of course, Senator Wayne Morse. I'm not a politician . . . but we can advance our cause only as we farmers stick together." E. M. NORTON, Secretary of the National Milk Producers Federation: "We wish to express (to Wayne Morse) our appre ciation for your interest and support of issues con tributing to the welfare of our dairy farmers." Wayne Morse believes It is time for ACTION ... to head off a growing farm depression In our rich country. Basic to his farm program is Wayne Morse's belief that family farms and ranches must be preserved. Wayne Morse will renew efforts to create a realistic farm credit program. His plan is for low interest rate loans to be paid off on a flexible repayment schedule. This method will tide farmers over bad years and let them pay off debts in good years. e Wayne Morse will continue to press for an end to the current high interest rate policy which has led to in creased interest rates on farm home and other loans and has made all farm borrowing tougher and more expensive. e Wayne Morse will continue to work for a long range soil conservation program to replace makeshift year-to-year efforts. Wayne Morse will work again for the domestic parity plan for wheat. He was successful in steering domestic parity through the Senate this year only to have the plan killed by President Eisenhower's veto. Wayne Morse will work for federal programs to help protect tree crop farms from foreign price-cutting. Wayne Morse will renew efforts for authorization of high Hells Canyon Dam to provide cheap power and aid to irrigation. Wayne Morse will persist in championing expansion of Rural Electrification. He was instrumental in increas ing lk REA funds by $S5-million and has fought against efforts to undermine the power preference clause, under which REA expands. Wayne Morst will continue to work and vo for legislation to Increase the purchasing power of the f"-' farmer. Pd. Adv. Morrow County Democratic Committee, Al Lamb, Chairman
