Farm Price Trends Listed for Oregon Following a seasonal pattern, Oregon farm prices dipped one percent last month, reports Mrs Elvira Horrell, extension agri cultural economist at Oregon State College. However, farm prices in the state still ended up the highest for the month of June since 1953. Following national trends, both crop and livestock products in Oregon turned down at mid June, Mrs Horrell found as she studied reports from the U S department of agriculture. While livestock fell to about 4 percent under a year ago, crop prices remained some 6 percent above a year earlier. Lower price tags on beef cattle, calves, sheep, and fresh vege tables contributed most to the drop in Oregon farm prices, Mrs Horrell said. Grain prices showed little change, while hogs, lambs, broilers, and turkeys went up a trifle. Meanwhile, prices paid by farmers over the nation moved down a shade from May to June, but still average about one per cent higher than a year ago. As a result, the ratio between prices received and prices paid by farmers, including interest, tax es, and wage rates, now stands at 81 a loss of one point for the month and 4 points below a year ago, Mrs Horrell said. Mr and Mrs Lesta Hall of San Jose, Calif are visiting at the home of Mrs Mabel Chaffee and Mrs Ethel Zelmantz.
