THURSRDAY, JUNE 5, 1941. THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON. OREGON. FARM PRICES UR SHARPLY AS BIG CROPS IN SIGHT V sharp rise in farm prices from •n.d-March to mid-May, despite bet- t t r than average crop production •rospecta, is the outstanding fact of the current agricultural situation as reviewed by the agricultural exten- sicn service at O.S.C. in the current report ju st released. The advance in the general level of prices for farm products is esti mated to have been around 10 per cent for the two-month period. The rise is attributed principally to stronger demand from domestic con sumers and government activities un der the defense program. ompared with a year ago, meat animals and truck crops show the greatest trains in price, followed by poultry products and dairy products. Prices for these commodities usually respond rather definitely to changes i in the purchasing power of eonsum- ers. Although milk production on May 1 was 6 per cent greater than a year previous, farm prices for dairy products were fully 10 per cent higher due to strong demand with mounting payrolls. From the standpoint of production, an increase in output of most farm products appears probable. Crop conditions are generally better than average at this season of the year and interest in expanding production of certain items needed for better iliets is being stimulated by govern ment measures. Production prospects in the coun try as a whole are better than aver- age. Indications are favorable for an abundance of hay. On May 1 pastures were the best for the date since 1929. Poultry flocks are being increased substantially, and cattle, hogs, and sheep are being increased somewhat. Wheat and rye prospects are very favorable. The May 1 estimate of winter wheat production was 653,- 000,000 bushels compared with 590,- 000,000 in 1940. Prospects are also favorable for spring wheat yields, though it is too early to make defi nite estimates. Carryover stocks of wheat are also sure to be abnormal ly high. In view of this condition the nat ional wheat acreage allotment for 1942 has been set at 55,000,000 acres with Oregon’s share being 756,281 acres. This national allotment is the minimum allowable under the agri cultural adjustment act. PAGE FUTÍ Nickle», Dim es, Quarters Pay $12 A irplane Fare “Prudence will carry a man all over the world, but the impetuous find every step difficult.” J. K. Li, a Chinese who lives ir New York, probably never heard of that ancient Chinese maxim and if he did he'd probably give it the Ori ental equivalent of a Bronx salute. Mr. Li may not have got “ all over the world,” but he made it to Boston through his own impetuousness. He was so impetuous he dumped $11.95 worth of quarters, nickels and dimes into a public telephone to pay West ern Union for his American Airlines fare and then impetuously scurried out to La Guardia field just in time to board a plane for Boston. Mr. Li was sitting wrapped in Ori ental placidity in his hotel when he suddenly became aware of the world and remembered that he had to go to Boston. Too late to catch a train, he phoned the American Airlines ticket office at 45 Vanderbilt avenue. He was told he could get a reserva tion, but why didn't he pay for his ticket at a Western Union office and save time? Mr. Li hurried to the nearest phone booth, dialed Western Union and announced that Mr. Li was about to pay for a ticket to Boston. The choking sound at the other end of the wire faded as the coins began clanging. Everyone con cerned agreed that Mr. Li was on solid Occidental ground, although they hope no precedent has been set. To which a Chinese sage who shall be nameless replieth: “ Regret not that which is past: Fret not about what is to come.” Y ou C an W h ip Our C ream , But Y ou C an ’t B eat Our M ilk Phone 3761 H e rm is to n D a ir y H.
