GENEALOGICAL ORGANIZATION
OF OREGON STARTS PROGRAM.
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.
Conti of Baker was the organizer
and first president, and Is now
chairman of one of the two most im
portant committees, that on "Libra
ry.” She is an avid genealogist and
collector and has already presented
to the chapter valuable books and
data of our own region.
Her committee members include
three eastern Oregon women: Mrs.
T. B. Perkins, Baker; Mrs. J. K.
Wright, La Grande; Mrs. A. A.
Christley, Hermiston; Mrs. Joe C.
Brown, Redmond; and Mrs. D. L.
Fourt of Boise, Idaho.
When a meeting was held in Ba
ker a few years ago, the Portland
group visited their Hermiston mem
ber, Mrs. Christley, on the way and
Mrs. Christley has attended meet
ings in Portland.
At the late quarterly meeting held
in Portland, October 12, several im
portant projects of state-wide inter
est were started. The furnishing of
a room in the old N. 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

FARM PRICES HIT NORMAL
BUT PARITY NOT REACHED.
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.

advised in the September report to

association tester.
The number of herds on test were
34 with an enrollment of 517 cows,
of which 72 were dry. The total

Thirty-three cows in the association

of fat, the report showed.
Two high cows in the association
for the month of September were
owned by Chas. Lynch and T. G.
Gregory. The cow, Dorothy, a 3-

Lynch, produced 1521 lbs. milk,
containing 65.4 lbs. fat. The sec
ond highest cow was Patsey, a 6-
year-old Grade Jersey, owned by
Gregory, produced 1098 lbs. milk,
containing 62.5 lbs. fat.
Ten borders were culled out for
beef, the report showed, also that
the C. R. Smith herd was unavoid
ably skipped in this month’s testing.
High herds to date, dry cowa in
cluded, for the seven months since
the beginning of the testing year,
include the following:
Over 20 cows owned by Alpha
Christley, 38 Grade Jerseys and
Grade Guernseys, producing an av
erage of 4145.3 lbs. milk and 197.8
lbs. fat, and by J. H. Retd, which
Includes 38 Grade Jerseys, produc
ing 3964.6 lbs. milk, averaging
197.6 lbs. fat.
High herds from 12 to 20 cows
owned by L. W. Owens, with 19
pure bred Jerseys, averaging 4128.5
lbs. milk, with 187.6 lbs. fat. and
by Wm. Luttrell, with 15 Grade

milk, with 214.2 lbs. fat.
High herds in the association for
the month of September, including
dry cows, were owned by Alpha
Christley, and produced an average
of 469.9 lbs. milk', containing 25.1
lbs. fat. A herd of 19 pure bred
Jerseys owned by L. W. Owens pro
duced 543.6 lbs. milk averaging
27.0 lbs. fat. Enos Martin owned
the high herd of under 12 cows
