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.

STOCKMAN URGES
CONTINUANCE OF
BOUNTYSYSTEM
1000 Coyotes Still Roam
Jackson County Says John
Walch of Lake Creek Area
Despite the destruction of 259
predators by government hunters
in the first seven months of this
year and the destruction of 278
under the bounty system in the
first 2i months, there are still
many predators roaming Jack
son county, John Walch, promi
nent stockman of Lake Creek,
told the Mall Tribune recently.
Pleading for a continuance of
the bounty system of paying
farmers for the destruction of
predatory animals. Mr. Walch
said there are still about 1000
coyotes in Jackson county. 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.
The record of bounty hunters
he gave as follows: January, 25
coyotes, 54 bobcats and two cou
gars; icbruary,. 59 coyotes, 74
bobcats and two cougars; March
1 to 16, 24 coyotes and 38 bob
cats. 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. The proposal
to tie in the lines of the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company
with the Public Service company
has long been discussed, and the
culmination of the transaction
will make possible enough addi
tional electrical energy for Al
turas to bid for greater lumber
ing mills and miscellaneous in
dustrial developmen dependent
to a great degree on sufficient
electricity for the operation of
their plants.
The California Oregon Power
company will build 30 miles of
60,000 -volt transmission line
from the Shaw mill at "Tion
esta" on Timber mountain to
Canby, where the Public Service
company will connect with an
18-mlle line to Alturas. A crew
of 50 to 60 men will soon bgin
actual construction of the trans
mission line over the area.
