Oregon Farm Prices Show October Gains, Says OSC Economist Oregon farm prices rose in Oct ober, gaining back the ground lost in September, according to Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension agricultural economist at Ore gon State college. As a result, farm prices in the state are now at the same level as in August about one percent higher than a year ago Mrs. Horrell said. In contrast to the local situation, national farm prices turned downward. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kelly and Luann and Shannon left the end of last week for their home in Everett, Wash, after a visit of two weeks at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Ferguson. Mrs. E. K. Schaffitz and Mrs. Raymond Ferguson left today (Thursday) for a few days in Portland. Reviewing reports from the U. S. department of agriculture, Mrs. Horrell found that livestock prices held about steady in Ore gon, as lower prices on most meat animals and wool offset price gains in dairy products and eggs. Prices received for farm crops in Oregon moved upward and higher prices for grains, po tatoes, vegetables, and seeds more than offset lower hay, fruit and nut prices. On the cost side of the ledger, Oregon farmers paid less for millrun, mixed dairy feed, lay ing mash, scratch grain and broiler mash. Alfalfa hay cost the state's farmers more last month than in September, but cotton seed meal and soygean meal held about the same. All of these feed costs were lower than in October 1956. Farm wage rates in Oregon are running higher than a year ago, Mrs. Horrell also reported. Nationally, farm products felt a tightening of the squeeze as prices dipped lower while costs held about the same. Mostly re sponsible for the decline over the nation were lower price tags on most meat animals, oranges, corn and cotton. These were partially offset by higher prices for dairy products and eggs. Despite the decline, national farm prices are still around three percent above a year earlier, Mrs. Horrell said. GET MORE out of life! Go to the movies! , OUR READERS NOT ARE . TRAINED SEALS .
