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

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

' Hog Prices Too Good
I To Last Long, but
Hog profits have been too good
to last through the next year,
KUt long-term DrosDects for Ore
Highest hog prices in four
years and indications that they
' rnnfina favnrnh,A tn thi
rest of 1958 are spurring farm
ers into increasing farrows in
the months ahead, says M D
Thomas, OSC economist.
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.
