'67 Crop Outlook In Oregon Shows Some Bright Spots Oregon's farm crop outlook Is varied this year but the bright side shows through In many areas, according to reports com piled by Mrs, Rivera Ilorrell, Oregon Stale University Kxten slon agricultural economist. A record wheat crop Is In the making. The strawberry crop, now being harvested ,1s down from lust year but well above the average for the previous five years. The wheat crop, as of June 1, seemed headed for around 41 million bushels more than half again higher than last year's near average harvest. The bumper wheat crop may bring storage problems, particularly in the Willamette Vulley. The li billion bushels of wheat forecast for the nation would be nearly a fifth above last year and more than a fourth above average. Oregon's strawberry crop Is estimated at 89.9 million pounds, according to U.S.D.A. estimates. This Is about 8 per cent under last year but 17 per cent above the 19C1-C5 average. Nationally, production is up a shade from 1G but still about 7 per cent below average. Hay, pasture, and rye pros pects are better than a year ago In Oregon but pxrer nationally. Warm, favorable weather of late has Improved the outlook for vegetables. Oregon looks for more sweet cherries this year but fewer of the sour varieties Mrs. Horrell noted. The stute's peach and pear crops are also looking down from last year. The main weather problem for tree fruits was the cold snap that hurt pollination. Ken Wrights Buy Store at Ruggs Mr. and Mrs. Ken Wright have bought the stock of the Ruggs store from Mr. and Mrs. Archie Ball and will operate the store as Wright's Country Store. They will be open from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. dally, Including Sunday, and invite all to stop In eriroute to recreational spots. In addition to their regular gro cery linos, they plan to stock some hunting anil fishing sup plies. Ken graduated from Blue Mountain Community College in June. His wife Is the former Judy Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Smith. Ken's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright, live at Ruggs and own the building in which the store is lix-nted. The Balls operated the store for 10 years and it has been a IHipular stopping place, partic ularly in hunting season and at harvest time. in County Agent's Office Summer Study Gives Training Noel Harahman, 10, and Ran dy Harshman, 4, are visiting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Kverett Harshman at their home on Willow Creek. The boys, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gay Harshman of Ketchikan, Alaska, flew to Portland from Ketchikan. Noel Harshman will return home next week to help his father on the fishing boat and 8-year-old Everett will come to llepp ner to remain here with Randy until the end of the summer.

Military Markets Shorten 2A-D and 2-4.5-T Supply Large quantities of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are being used by the military to defoliate the Jungles of Vietnam. According to Joe Capizzl, OSU Extension entomology special ist, the military is reported to have preempted all 2,4,5-H pro duction and may do the same for 2,4-D. The two herbicides are report ed to be critically short in Mid west and Southern areas of the United States, according to Cap izzl. "Other herbicides important to agriculture are also reported on allocation although not as the result of war uses," Capizzl said. 'These include Atrazine, Randox, Randox T, Ramrod, Am Iben and Tordon." Amis Hedman and sons spent Monday in Portland on a busi ness trip. HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, June 22. 1967 Steady Increases Noted in Farm ion Costs 7 Korea McCurdy and Gail Bat ty drove to Corvallis Sunday where they are enrolled in the summer session at Oregon State University. Production expenses on U. S. farms have shown an almost steady rise during the past 15 years. In 19C6, expenses totaled $33.2 billion, about 8 per cent more than in 1965, according to Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon State University Extension agri cultural economist The farmer In most cases does not have enough muscle In the market place to pass on the ris ing cost of producing food to the consumer, it was noted. Instead, he must battle high er costs by continually adopt ing newer and more efficient farming practices to keep rais ing output per man hour, Mrs. Horrell pointed out He is aid ed in this task by the agricul tural research and extension ef forts of the land grant colleges of the nation. Among the rising costs are farm wage rates which contin ued to move up again last year, points out Mrs. HorrelL Aa the cost of labor gets higher, farm ers substitute capital in the form of machinery to do the work formerly done by people. Prices of farm machinery have gone up 3 per cent a year for the past 15 years, on the average. Farmers are using more fertilizer and pesticides to get the maximum production from each acre and this also adds to higher cost of produc tion, the economist noted. Taxes are another cost that continually increases with peo ple demanding more govern ment services and the cost of such service rising, according to Mrs. Horreii, Also increasing substantially each year are in terest payments, insurance and social security costs. The farm er who would like to expand finds farmland values contin ually increasing aLso. Farmers In tha fitrura u111 continue to substitute the fruits of technology for labor she pre dicted. The number of farmers will continue to decrease as the survivors strive to become larg er and more efficient and at some point in the game, the price of goods to the consumer must reflet the increased cost to the farmer.
