Prices Average Table Rock Jan. 15. (Spl ) The year 1939 was one of the best since 1929 in this district, in the way of improvements. general crop yields and pros pects. During the year several thousand dollars were spent for improvements including new farm hnilriines. new roofs, re pairs and modernizing of dwel-! lings and leveling of land. At least three important real estate deals were consumnated. including sale .of the Wykotf ranch, one of the largest in the district, to Ben E. Harder, of Mcdford; part of the Palmer holdings along the river, better known as the Modoc orchard, to Dick Richman, and sale of the Ralph Wilson place to Mr. Wcstrup, of Chicago. Extensive Improvements were begun at once by the various purchasers. ' War Hitt Peara A pear crop better than av erage in quantity and quality started to market with good prices but met reverses with outbreak of the war in Lurope. il Prices, however, will still net as much or more to growers in the past year or two. Crops of wheat, oats and barley were In normal yield and brought prices a little bet ter than usual. Those growing corn report better than average yield which ripened earlier owing to a fav orable corn season. Prices were no better than last year, owing to low prices on hogs and turkeys. j Report indicate that the highly advertised hybrid com I Bethel, Texas to Hattie W.

Sweet Corn Profitable Those growing onions and lettuce were favored with rood yields and excellent qual ity but lacked a market and price. Sweet corn did well both as to yield and price. The hay crop, mostly alfalfa and vetch, was from smaller acreage but a good yield was obtained with normal prices. Much of the crop will be fed to beef cattle and dairy stock. Very little new machinery was purchased by farmers here the reason being advanced that there is too much difference between what farmers receive for their products and the prices asked for the things needed. As the new year advances there seems to be somewhat more optimism among most of the landowners, although con sidering low prices for some product and better prices for others 1939 net returns were very little better than the av erage. Most improvements were made with money brought into the district by land buyers. Annual meeting of members of the Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan Association will be held Wednesday. Jan uary 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the association's office, 126 East Main Street, A. P. Butler, sec retary, announced today.

Following election of directors, the active officers who guide the affairs : of the association from day to day will be chosen. RED CROSS REFUSES Toronto, Jan 15.

At least, it's certainly more fun than throwing away a dollar bill by paying one hundred cents extra for something you're buying. Yet every year we all part with a goodly sum of hard-earned cash that we might otherwise save if we knew how to buy!
