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

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.

Late potatoes are in a fairly
good position with marketing

tory returns to most Oregon

stage for a big rush into summer

says. Commercial processing of
potatoes seems likely to expand,
however, and may help stabilize
potato prices in time.

WAYNE MORSE WORKS
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE!
Wayne Morse's effective work for farmers Is
recognized by Oregon farmers and farm leaders.
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.
