LI MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1939. TAGE TWO P IN CURRENT YEAR I E Returns of Over Eight Bil lion Give Buying Power Equal to Banner Year '37 By Franklin Mullln Chicago, Nov. 1 (0 Octo ber, traditionally the banner cash Income month for Ameri can farmers, closed today with grleulture'i prospective 1939 dollar receipts the best of any year in almost a decade except for 1937. Market analysts estimated even though thii year's Income of more than $8,000,000,000 may fall below that of two years ago, It li giving farmers buying power quel to that of 1937 Inasmuch as prices of commodities they purchase are lower. The farm price advance which has occurred since the start of the European war was partly responsible for lifting the level of agricultural income over that of last year. Although some of the war boom enhancement of commodity value! faded away, producers have large supplies of practically all types of grain livestock and dairy products to market at higher price levels. Up Binc War Since August 31, the day be fore war broke out, prices of principal farm commodities such as grains, livestock, eggs, butter and cotton have advanced 10 to 29 per cent and in most cases, except for livestock and eggs, are higher than a year ago. Until September, farm income was running slightly below 1838. Total receipts from marketing and government payments were $4,594,000,000, compared with $4,612,000,000 the first 8 months of 1938 and $3,330,000,000 in 1037. In September, however, with the war under way, cash Income skyrocketed to $847, 000,000, about $26,000,000 over the return for the same month in 1937, the banner year since 1929, and $102,000,000 better than September last year.

About 500 of these would be females, whose average utter consists of six pups. Sees Bounty Need "So I feel it Is very necessary to have a bounty on these pests, at least during the winter months, as we all know that the coyote, bobcat and cougar de pend upon turkeys, chickens, sheep and deer for their living," Mr. Walch emphosized. Every season, he added, about 8070 deer are killed, two-thirds by coyotes. This season the county is pay ing a bounty of $3 on coyotes during October, November and December. At all times the state and county each pay $2.50 for uuuku.a uuu me 3LHIC (juya ju and the county $10 for cougars. u wninh h. bobcats and the state pays $30 ernment hunters should post no tices along their trap lines to protect cattlemen's dogs. Much ill feeling has been engendered by the trap lines, he said, and this could be averted by a little diplomacy and cooperation. Killings Listed Mr. Walch listed the killing of predators by government hunters In the first seven months as follows: January 4, February 5, March 17, April 62, May 52, June 44, July (not known) and August 73.

Total, 108 coyotes, 166 bob cats and four cougars. Mr. Walch gave the following "sure - fire" formula for trap ping bears: "Get a bear trap. Make a V shaped pen. Build small end up against log or tree along bear trails or watering places. Build pen about two feet at entrance. 3'4 feet back of trap, three feet high with 10 or 12-inch log at entrance for bear to step over . into trap, allowing no other place to step. Fill sides with sticks. ' Trap trigger in. Scatter beef ; cracklings for bait, just a few I along the trail near the trap, a once you taste itl double handful In narrow part of pen. Fasten 8-foot chain to trap chain and fasten to springy tree. Trap bears according to laws. Post notices. Fence around trap to keep cattle out. I caught seven bears this way last year. I'll give further details at my home lf-anyone is interested. No charge." Yreka, Cal., Nov. 1 (Spl.) Alturas' bid for industrial ex pansion has moved a step closer to reality today, according to O. G. Steele, division manager of the California Oregon Power company of Yreka, who stated that completion of contracts with the California Public Service company of Alturas have now been made to enable Copco to supply needed electrical energy to Modoc county.
