Schools Talked
At Boardman Meet
By MARY LEE MARLOW
The Morrow county unit school
board reported at a meeting here
last Tuesday night that It has
learned all it needs to know re-1
garding the wishes of Boardman
and Irrigon people t0 proceed
with plans for consolidating the
two schools next fall. The state
ment was made by Warren B
McCoy, Irrigon, member of the
board. Sigvald O Aase, Board
man school superintendent, told
those present that Boardman fa
vors consolidation with Irrigon.
He said he invited people to the
meeting who opposed consolida
tion. Throughout the hearing on
ly one voice was against it. Aase
expressed confidence the two
towns could work out their wish
es for a site for the new school
when the time comes.
The one person objecting to
the consolidation gave as his
reason that the resulting school
would not be large enough to ob
tain maximum benefits for high
school students. Fred T Martin,
chairman of the Morrow county
school reorganization, said "The
small school is going to be with
us in Oregon for some time." He
stated there was no question of
Morrow county's financial abili
ty to support the schools.
Wesley Hamilton, superinten
dent of schools at Irrigon said
that there is no reason why a
small school can't give a good
basic educaion and a lot more
individual attention, and that
with a faculty of seven teachers
a school can have specialists in
basic subjects.

Oregon Farm Prices
Hold Steady, But
U S Average Drops
Oregon farm prices held steady
during the month ending Dec
ember 15 in contrast to national
farm prices which dropped two
percent during the same period,
reports Mrs Elvira Horrell, ex
tension agricultural economist at
Oregon State College. .
Increase In prices said the
state's farmers for their cattle,
calves, turkeys, feed grains, hay,
and potatoes offset downturns
in sheep, lambs, wool, and wheat,
Mrs Horrell found as she studied
reports from the U S department
of agriculture. Prices of most
other major farm products in the
state were generally unchanged.
As a result, Oregon farm prices
ended the year two percent
above December 1957.
Across the nation, average
farm prices sagged as lower
price tags showed up on cotton,
citrus fruits, tomatoes, hogs,
eggs, and milk. However, upturns
in prices on corn and tobacco
held the drop to only two per
cent for the month and national
farm prices at the end of 1958
closed one percent above those
of 1957, with both livestock and
crop prices averaging higher.
Prices on the goods and ser
vices farmers buy held their rec
ord high levels during Decem
ber, Mrs Horrell said, averaging
the same as the month before.
Compared with a year earlier,
however, increases snowed up all
along the line in prices of living
items, production items, interest,
taxes, and wage rates. These In
creases left the parity index
the measure of prices of goods
and services that farmers buy
a full three percent above the
close of 1957.
The recent lower farm prices
over the nation, coupled with
unchanged record-high costs, put
the squeeze on the purchasing
power of farm products. As a re
sult, the parity ratio the govern
ment yardstick for measuring the
relationship between prices re
ceived and prices paid by farm
ers dropped to 80 in December,
down one point for the month
and one point below December
1957.
This was the lowest parity
ratio since February, 1957, Mrs
Horrell added.
