Newspaper Page TextFarm Wage Rales Said Down Slightly The new year found farm wage rates slightly below a year ago and farm employment held fair ly steady. There were a few less hired workers but about the same number of family workers as a year earlier, the Oregon State college extension service reported today in Us weekly farm price, crops and weather review. Last year brought the first significant decline in farm land values since 1932. The farm land value index .nationally, dropped six per cent from the high point reached in November 1948 and Oregon led the downward trend, the college reported. Farm land values here dipped twice as far as the national average. Values in Oregon are now 14 per cent below the peak reached late In 1948. California had the second largest drop during the year. Explaining the decline, the ex tension service said buyer re sistance is developing, with greater importance being attach ed to location, condition of build ings, and quality of land. Also owners are finding little incen tive to sell as long as farm pro duce continues to yield a high rate of return on investments. . Slightly lower crop prices also tended to force farm land values down, according to the department of agriculture and the extension service.

He said the Met's new direct or, Rudolf Bing, had tarried too long In approaching him about a contract for next season.

Thomas returned to the apart ment building that afternoon, representing himself as "Dr. Jen sen of the Portland health bu reau." At the door of a 22-year-old divorcee he asked to exam ine her child for a "contagious skin rash that is spreading all over Portland." Examines Mother After a glance at the child, he allegedly asked the mother: "Would you mind if I gave you a thorough examination, too? We believe parents are transmit ting the rash."

At one couple's apart-1 mcnt, he even had the 35-year-old husband undress for him. Acted Like Doctor "He acted exactly like a doc tor and what a conversationalist he was!" one woman said.
