USE GAZETTE TIMES CLASSIFIED ADS MOT Oregon Form Prices Show January Gains; Highest Since April Oregon farmers started the new year with prices at the high est level since last April, accord ing to Mrs Elvera Horrell, ex tension agricultudal economist at Oregon State college. Prices received by farmers in the state rose nearly 2 percent from mid-December to mia jan- ion. Trc Ttnrrfll found in study ing reports from the U S depart-; mem 01 agncuuuie. a icaun. prices now stand at the same level as a year ago. Nationally, farm prices also gained 2 percent during the last month to reach an average near ly 4 percent higher than January 1957. Most of this national up trend was due to sharply higher prices on fresh market vege tables, a result of winter freeze damage in the South, Mrs Horr ell said. Meat animals also moved up in price, but more moderately. And these higher price tags more than offset lower prices received by farmers last month lor eggs, dairy products, cotton, and corn. While prices were rising, the naritv ndex the governments yardstick for measuring farm costs also kept moving upnui. Mrs Horrell found that this index edged up again last month to reach the highest level on record and 3 percent above a year ago. As a result, the parity ratio the ratio between prices receiv ed and prices paid by farmers, including taxes, interest, and wages stood at 82 in mid-January. This was one point above mid-December, Mrs Horrell said, but the same as mid-January ol 1957. It has been more than five years since this parity ratio has topped 100 the point set by Congress as a "fair" relationship between prices paid and prices received by farmers, Mrs Horr ell pointed out. urass is weairn Bulletin Issued True value of a ranch depends on the pounds of grass it can produce rather than the number of acres or livestock on it, ac cording to a new bulletin pub lished by the Oregon State col lege extension service. A livestock operation is one that turns grass and other for age into something that can be out. And since a hundred pounds of forage can produce only so manv nounds of beef or mutton or wool, it's really the amount of grass and other forage a ranch can produce that determines its value. Titled, "Grass is the Wealth," the new bulletin opens by ex plaining eight simple facts about grass that are said to be the first steps toward planning a range improvement program. Value of perennial grasses over annuals, how top growth depends on root systems, amount of mois ture needed to produce a pound of grass, and how pasturing af fects grasses are just some 01 the facts covered. Ranee crass growth is season al, but livestock eat every day, the bulletin also points out. This creates a real problem for ranch ers who need forage the year- round. The bulletin neips solve this problem bv listine seven ways ranchers can even out the productive seasons of their past ures. It then goes on to suggest ways to improve range lands east of the Cascades. Balancing feed consumption with product ion, use of water holes and salt to spread grazing,, tricks with fencing, and range clearing meth ods are among the seven ways listed. The illustrated bulletin was written by E R Jackman, OSC extension range management specialist; W W Chilcote, botany; D W Hedrick, range manage ment; Gene Lear, state extension agent; and D N Hyder, range conservationist for the agricult ural research service at the Squaw Butte-Harney experiment r yi Range-Ready 3tt BULLS ANNUAL SALE - BAKER 54 Range-Ready Bulls, Annual Sale, Baker, Sponsored by Bak er Co.
