CORVALLLS. 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."

Bill Huddleston, Albee rancher, told
the story here today. ' Coyotes and
many other animals sometimes In
desperation gnaw off their legs when
the Jaws of s steel trap spring upon
them. This coyote had thus twice
escaped. The right front leg and the

Oil Now Trickling to Market
From Black Sands of Mc

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.

so far as we know tobacco was
first used about 400 years ago
-throughout the years what one thing has
given so much pleasure,. so much satisfaction
Today the Governor of North Carolina
says to the Governor of South Carolina
Have a cigarette
r
It was a matter of
priila with a host in
Colonial Sayt that ii'ji
guests should smoke
tobacco grou n on i
oii7i plantation.
Today people nil over the world use
tobneco in one form or nnother.
They chew it, they smoke it in pipes,
they smoke cigars, anil cigarettes, nnd here
is what an eminent physician said about
cigarettes:
"I have been something of a student
of cigarettes, and it is vuj belief that
they offer the mildest and purest form
in which tobacco is used."
Yes, nowadays the cigaret'e is the most
popular form in which tobacco is used. A
good cigarette certainly gives men and
women a lot of pleasure.

For one thing they're mildtv.
For another thing they taste better.
