More Barley For Oregon Is Ur

Oregon stock feeders who pass up
high grade Oregon barley to import
corn from the east or light barley
from California, are overlooking the
high feeding value of thia grain, says
O. R. Hyslop, chief in farm crops at
Oregon State college. He also be
lieves that more barley should be
raised in Oregon and recommends
several varieties.
Barley at *23 to *25 a ton is cer

California ships a great deal of bar

For general spring sowing on

British maltsters are Importing an

Business Conditions In This Re
serve District For July Given Out
Business activity in this district
declined slightly during July to the
lowest levels reached thus far this
year. The chief recession was re
corded in trade activity, most other
phases of business changing little
from the low levels of June.
Mid-summer weather has been fav
orable for crop development and for
harvesting In most parts of the dis
trict. Estimates of crop yields were
increased slightly during July and it
now seems probable that total agrl-
ultural production this year will be
greater than in 1929, although some
what smaller than in 1928. Prices
for most farm products of the Dis
trict are at the lowest levels in
many years and it is reported that
there Is more than the usual tendency
for producers to delay the marketing
of crops in hopes of obtaining bet
ter prices later In the year.
Industrial operations continued at
about the same rate as in June, ex
cept that fruit canning expanded

Trade was relatively dull during
July, Sales of department stores de-
c|)prd from June Wld wholesale trade
failed to Improve, while registration
if new automobiles Increased mod-
irately. Railroad freight carload-
ings declined during the month,
largely because of reduced shipments
of lumber, while water-borne inter-
coastal traffic increased as a result
of a large eastward movement of
gasoline.
The rapidity with which the gen
eral level of commodity prices at
wholesale has fallen has diminished
during recent weeks, following a
tharp drop during August. Quota
tions on some commodities reached
new low levels early in August but
an upward movement since then In
prices of certain agricultural pro
ducts affected by the drought in the
mid-west has resulted in slight in
creases in most weekly composite In
dexes of commodity prices.
The discount rate of the Federal
