Figures compiled on per capita motor vehicle registration for 1955 show that Oregon had one passenger car for every 2.6 per sons In the state. In that respect, Oregon was in a tie for fourth place in per capita registration, having the same ratio as Micni- gan. In first Dlace is the state of Nevada with a ratio of 2.3 per sons per passenger car, while the District of Columbia was at tne bottom of the list with a ratio ol 4.8. Orecon had 735,947 privately owned passenger cars in iudd, ine motor association reported. In this classification, California tops the list for the nation witn a eelstration of 5,299,589 while New York is in second dace with 4.1 31 .704 nassenecr cars, rennsyi vania is next witn a registration of 3,208,177 vehicles. In total Dasseneer car registra Hons. Oreeon stands in 28th place, while Nevada is last with 94,505 cars. October Farm Prices Show Slight Decline Prices received by farmers slip ped a little in October, reports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college. Lower prices on meat animals, corn, potatoes, poultry, eggs, and cotton more than offset higher prices on dairy products, some vegetables, cot tonseed and wheat. Farm buying power held prac tically unchanged, however, Mrs. Hnrreii said, since farm costs were about the same as in Sep tember and the drop in prices wasn't sharp enough to bring about any change in the parity ratio. The parity ratio in Octo- hrr was 82 same as October 1955. Farm costs held steady, witn higher wage rates offsetting lower prices on the production items farmers buy. The lower-cost production items were mostly farm-produced goods, Mrs. Horrell pointed out. Feed and feeder livestock were both lower, and corn prices dropped sharply as the near-record new corn crop became available. How ever, farmers paid higher prices for many manufactured items, with new automobiles, motor sup nlies. and other products using I ' - , , , metal all carrying nigner price tags.

Ways of Providing Better Deer Browse Under Study at OSC Improved methods of using log ged or burned-over lands to pro vide better deer for Oregon hunt ers is the aim of a new stuay under way at the Oregon State college agricultural experiment station. Scarce or poor quality browse the shoots, twigs and leaves that make up much of a deer's diet- means smaller ana poorer qual ity deer for harvest, according to Arthur S. Einarsen, U. S. fish and wildlife service biologist and head of the Oregon Cooperative Wildlife Research unit. The study will check the effect of different forest management practices on the natural succes sion of plants and on the nutriti onal value of browse. SamDles of browse are being taken under various forest man agement conditions, and from dif ferent altitudes, sou types ana These will be ana lyzed by the OSC acricultural chemistry department to see how they mary In nutritive value for deer. Samples are being taken from virgin forest, slashed-over, burned, and reforested areas. Site of the study Is the H. J. Andrews experimental forest in the Willamette national forest area. Many different forest man agement practices are being car ried out in the experimental for est, Einarsen reports, providing a variety of natural conditions that affect browse. And. since the experimental forest area is representative of much of the Pacific Northwest, results of the study should find wide use in game management practices in this area, he ex plained. Working on the project, in ad dition to Einarsen, are Paul H. Weswlg and John R. Schubert, OSC agricultural chemists; L. F. Schneider and II. R. Newcomb, Oregon game commission; mem bers of the U. S. forest service; and graduate assistants of the Oregon Cooperative Wildlife Re search unit. Known livestock losses to pre datory animals In Oregon during July, August and September to talled 1,189, but during the same period state hunters killed 4, 014 predatory animals. These figures come from Mel Smith, district agent for the U. S. fish and wildlife service, and M. E. Knickerbocker, animal division chief of the state department of agriculture. The breakdown of livestock losses was: 513 sheep,22 goats, one calf, 21 pigs, 224 chickens, 10 geese, 376 turkeys, six guinea hens, 14 deer and two grouse. Predators which caused these losses are: coyotes, dogs, foxes, bobcats, racoons, bears, cougars and mountain lions. During July, August and Sep tember state hunters working under the cooperative federal- state predatory animal control program killed 1,552 coyotes, 669 bobcats, 126 bears, 110 foxes, 560 badgers, 95 skunks, 171 racoons and 728 porcupines. Lane county was hardest hit In livestock losses due to predators. There covotes killed 36 sheep and 12 goats, while dogs destroyed 20 pigs and an unknown predator killed five sheep. Coos county suffered the second largest num ber of livestock losses to preda tors. In that area 65 sheep losses were traced to the following pre dators: coyotes,17; bear, 38; dog, 7; and unknown 3. Predators caused the greatest Doultrv losses in Clackamas county where 170 turkeys were killed by dogs and six cnicKens were destroyed by foxes. In the eame animals and birds category, 14 deer and two grouse were lost to prepators in uregon durine Julv. August and Septem ber. Harney county was naraesi hit with six deer lost to bobcats, cougars and covotes. Tillamook county was second with two deer and two grouse deaths caused py predators.
