The Feed Business Will Be Maintained at The Same Locat ion By Cornett Green. INTERIOR WAREHOUSE COMPANY HEPPNER - TIMES. Thursday July 3. 1958 First National Bank Votes Name Change Shareholders of the First Nat ional bank of Portland voted to change the name of the Institu tion to First National bank of Oregon Friday afternoon at a special meeting held in Portland. They will request the comptroller of the currency to issue a new certificate to effect the change on August 1, C B Stephenson, bank president said. "Today, First National bank services are available to the citi zenry of Oregon and to all seg ments of our state and its econ omy and it is certainly appro priate that the word "Oregon" be directly associated with the name of our bank, "Stephenson said." "With 77 banking offices ser ving 55 Oregon communities it is truly a statewide institution and can best be described by a title which Indicates the breadth of service extending beyond the confines of Portland," he added. When the bank was organized in 1865 and granted the first national bank charter west of the Rocky Mountains, the original articles of association requested the name "The First National Bank of Oregon," but the artic les were returned with "Oregon" scratched out and "Portland" penned in its place, the bank president explained. Feeder Lamb Sales Popular in State; 3 Dates Announced Producer sponsored feed e r lamb sales are proving popular in Oregon with three of the new "grading and pooling" auctions scheduled this summer, reports W Y Fowler, Oregon State col lege livestock marketing spec ialist. Auctions sponsored by county livestock associations are slated July 14 at Myrtle Point, July 23 at Corvallis, and August 18 at Enterprise. Purpose of the association sponsored sales Is to provide buyers with more uniform lots of feeder lambs for pasture and dry-lot feeding. Lambs will be sorted, graded, and pooled into lots of more uniform quality than are usually available from Individual flocks. Fowler says this method of selling is gaining rapidly In pop ularity and is profitable to both buyers and sellers. Buyers are willing to pay more for lambs at such sales since It reduces their expenses for "beating-the-brush" to find what they want, the specialist explains. It will be the second year for the Myrtle Point and Corvallis sales that last year auctioned a total of 4500 lambs. Average prices for these lambs were better than the local "going price," Fowler said. The "pooling" auction at En terprise begins this year under sponsorship of the Wallowa Coun ty Stockgrowers association with Harvey Foster, Enterprise ran cher, as sale chairman. The Coos County Livestock as sociation, sponsor of the Myrtle Point sale, recently, installed new pens, jump gates, and scales at the fairgrounds to handle the large feeder-lamb consignment OREGON'S HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION TIME-TABLE Interstate Highway System completion $628,000,000 13 YEARS , - - - - mm, IT" 4 J",' Primary, Urban & Secondary Roads M $273,000,000 During the 13 year period, 1956-1969, Oregon will spend approximately 628 million dollars for the completion of our part of the tremendous Federal Interstate System on highways U.S. 99 and 30 (to be redesignated U.S. 5 and 82, respectively). Oregon pays 8 of the construction cost of these interstate highways while the federal gov ernment pays 92. In addition, during the same 13 year period the state will spend some 273 million dollars on primary, urban and secondary roads . . t bringing this part of the long-range program to approximately 50 completion.

The 1958 fall pig crop is ex pected to be about 13 percent larger nationally than in 1957, according to a recent USDA re port. Oregon's fall crop Is esti mated even higher 20 percent above 1957. Recent prices of $25 to $26 a hundredweight at Portland are the highest since 1954. Thomas says this is partly because farm ers sold potential breeding stock during the past winter, resulting in a smaller than expected 1958 spring pig crop. Present confidence in the price level has producers in an expan sion mood. Indications are that national supply of pigs for mar keting during 1959 may equal the 100 million pigs in 1951. A danger signal for farmers, Thom as believes, is that the new peak in pork production will come at a time when beef and poultry supplies will be greater than in 1951 and when overseas needs may be less. The economist also points out that the 1959 numbers are likely to be at least 10 percent over 1955 national marketings that helped force prices down to $12 a hundredweight at Portland.

Bumper Wheat Crops Lower Prices Seen Bumper wheat crops across the U S and prices at least 20 cents a bushel under last year at har vest time appear in the making, reports on Oregon State college agricultural economist. M D Thomas says latest USDA crop estimates point to more than V billion bushels of wheat nationally this year, 34 percent more than in 1957 and 14 per cent above the average for the past 10 years. Thomas says odds are that supports on the new wheat crop will drop to 75 percent of parity or about $1.82 a bushel for the national average. The 20 cent drop from last year could go even lower, depending upon sub sidy payment levels under the wheat export program. Recently, a pound of hog on Oregon farms would pay for 10 pounds of barley. By the fall of 1959, the same pound may buy no more than 6 pounds of bar ley, Thomas states. While the present hog profit boom appears on the way out, the longer-term outlook is still good for efficient Oregon pro ducers, Thomas says. Pacific Coast states use much more pork than they produce, resulting in the highest hog prices in the country. Also, the Northwest now has a big supply of barley priced fairly competitively with feed grains in other parts of the country.
