Ore., March 32. (flV Prlces for OreRon farm products now are not high except by comparison wltn the bankruptcy levels of 1932 and 1933, It was said here today by L. If. Brelthaupt. extension econom 1st at Oregon State college. A sta tistical survey, he said, supports this conclusion even though consumers may feel that some feed prices have come back fester than their Incomes. "The general level of farm prices In Oregon," Brelthaupt said, " Is still only 69 per cent of the 192flltn0 r.verage, and in the country aa a whole it la only 79 per cent of thtt level." Not at Partly. Speaking In terma of parity prices, which is the basis of the cgncultural adjustment act, Brelthaupt said that while many farm prices now are high er than In the pre-war period of 1910 to 1014, parity has not bepn reached because things the farmer buys ae still further above the pro-war level "A good many people," he said, "think, that when farm prices reah the 1910-1914 average that agricul ture will be back to parity. This is not true, because the index of prices paid by farmers now Is at 127 per cent of the 1910-1914 level. In other words. It take 37 per cent more farm products to purchase the same amount of commodities usually pui c based by farmers than It did before the war." Recover Half Income Loss. "There is nothing In the present agricultural outlook." he explained, "to indicate that farm prices will reach parity in 1935. It Is more prob able that the farm price level will be somewhere from two-thirds to three fourths of parity in Oregon." Brelthaupt said that despite some current statements, agriculture Is still short of Its normal share of the national Income, although not nenrly as short as In 1033 and 1033. At present, he aald, "farmers are getting bout six billion of the annu4 na tional income of around SO billions of dollars, Indicating they have re covered only about one-htlf of the shortage they showed In 1933." CRIPPLED COYOTE FINALLY KILLED PENDLETON. Ore., March 33.

OIL DEVELOPMENT IN ALBERTA EYED BY BIGJNTERESTS Oil Now Trickling to Market From Black Sands of Mc Murray Desert Ameri can Scientist Credited EDMONTON', Alts. (UP) Titans battling for control of the world's oil wealth today are attracted by de velopments on a new front deep In the Isolation of northern Alberta. Science has cracked the riddle of that black desert known aa the Mc Murray tar sands. From that gummy waste some 300 miles northeast of Edmonton oil Is trickling to market. This trickle may Increase to a flood sufficient to meet the world demands for oil and gasoline for the next 3000 years at least, that's what enthusi astic Canadians predict. Interest Not New Interest In the McMurray field Is not new, merely reborn. Its exist ence has been known since Sir Alex ander Mackenzie and his band of fur hatted explorers stumbled upon It a century and a half ago. At grips In a seemingly Intermin able struggle, Great Britain began to seek new oil sources. Among other potential petroleum treasure troves, MacMurray was selected for develop ment work. Scientist were set at the task of cracking the Albertan pitch. The Armtstlc came. With It Interest In the field's exploitation. OH Hawks However, commercial oil hawks kept hammering away. Suddenly active became workers of Sir Henri Deter dlng, Dutch director general of Royal Dutch (Shell). With Deterding' pack at work Ca nadians became alarmed. Various scientists again tackled the problem. One was successful, R. C. Fitzsim mons, former Spokane, Wash., scient ist, Is credited with evolving s suc cessful commercial method. . The millions of acres of oil-impregnated sands are beginning to yield their prize ' to Pltzsimmons' coaxing.. Trade gossips here claim Pltzsimmons' success has whet the interest of Deterding, Rockefeller, Bears ted, Sinclair and other oil mag nates. Problems of transportation and marketing face would-be exploiters of the field but Alberta officials are thankful for the cracking of the rid dle of McMurray. They insist the great pitch bed will be preserved; that extraction rnethods will be de veloped further and that In its next crisis the British empire, regardless of how It fares In Its present oil bat tles, will have more than ample petroleum.
