An interesting genealogical orga nization in Oregon is the State Chap ter of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America. It is a branch of a national society with headquar ters In Washington City. Mrs. J. L.

Loughlin house in Oregon City; The state's most precious shrine: the inauguration of some tangible tribute to George H. Himes, also an objective that should interest the whole state, as Mr. Himes belongs to us, all as the un ceasingly loyal and devoted chronic ler of pioneer days and descendants; and the gathering together in one accessible location the libraries of all the genealogical organizations in Portland. A motto contest was started to se lect a suitable enunciation for the chapter from all the ancestral phras es of all the members’ inherited fam ily coat-of-arms. Mrs. J. Thorburn Ross of Portland is the present president. GEO. 0. GATLIN. FORMER O.S.C. MARKETING EXPERT, DIES. George O.

The boost during September in farm prices generally has placed the average price level for farm commo dities in the whole country right at the 1910-1914 level, although pri ces in Oregon average about 20 per cent less, according to a review of the agricultural situation just re leased by the O.S.C. agricultural ex tension service. However, since prices paid by far mers have advanced to 126 per cent of the 1910-1914 level, farm pro ducts have an exchange value only approximately 80 per cent of pre- war parity for the whole country. This is a gain of 12 points or 18 per cent over the exchange value of farm products a year ago, according to the circular. The advance in farm prices in Oregon has lagged behind the gen eral advance, giving Oregon farm products on the whole an exchange value only approximately 65 per cent of the prewar level. This is scarcely equal to the exchange value of Oregon farm products a year ago. according to index numbers given In the report. With reference to the farm cre dit situation, the report shows ex cellent progress in farm-debt ad justment and the refinancing of Oregon farm mortgages. Since May, 1933, the Federal Land bank has re financed nearly 6000 Oregon farms for nearly 916,000,000. while addi tional applications approved and pending exceed 1000. The Federal Land bank now holds approximately one-third of the farm mortgages in Oregon, the circular states. The farm debt situation has been great ly alleviated by this long-term fi- nanelng at lower rates of interest, although there Is still much need for farm debt adjustment and re- financing In the state, the report shows.
