Net Farm Income Gains
Predicted by OSC Economist
Corvallis Net farm income
should be a little higher in 1957
than it was in 1956, predicts
Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension
agricultural economist at Oregon
State college. A small increase
in farm earnings in 1956 marked
the first improvement since
1951, she said, and 1957 should
sea still more improvement.
Changes in farm income de
pend mainly upon four forces
supply, demand, marketing costs
and government programs ac
L cording to Mrs. Horrell. Here's a
brief summary of how these
forces affected farm income in
the last few years, and the effect
Mrs. Horrell thinks they will
have in the coming year.
Surplus Supplies
Surplus supplies of many
farm products were a major
cause of the drop in farm income
from 1951 through 1955. This
problem is now being attacked
by the Soil Bank program, pass
ed by Congress in 1956, which
" aims at removing some acreage
rnm th nrnduction of surDlus
crops. A large and successful
Soil Bank could bring a turning
point in the supply picture by
bringing about a reduction in
-total agricultural output next
year, she explained.
; On the demand side, domestic
: use of farm products has been
I strong and rising throughout
I most of the period since 1951.
;The number of people in the na
ition the number of consum
; ers has risen and is still rising.
:Employmen and income are
:high and consumers continue
to, spend about one-fourth of
;their take-home pay for food.
; Outlook Favorable
; Agricultural exports may
Ireach an all-time high for the
!1956 crop year, Mrs. Horrell
:aid. and the export outlook for
1957 is favorable although it
may be difficult to maintain the
present rate of exports for many

more years. In general, the de
mand picture and the Soil Bank
program seem to favor a mod
erate rise in farm income in
1957.
Rising marketing costs were
a factor in the drop in farm in
come from 1951 through 1955,
the economist continued. These
marketing costs, due in part to
more services such as extra food
processing and packaging, con
tinued to creep upward in 1956.
And they will probably rise
somewhat more in 1957.
Fall Cushioned
Government programs have
cushioned the fall in farm prices
over the past few years. They
were a decisive factor in the
slight rise in farm income in
1956. according to Mrs. Horrell.
The Soil Bank added a quarter-of-a-billion
dollars directly to
farm income, and there has been
a substantial decrease in stocks
of surplus products through dis
posal programs.
With a greatly expanded Soil
Bank program next year, gov
ernment payments will be in
creased and prices of some farm
products should be strengthened
somewhat by reduced output,
she concluded.
Animals in Douglas, Jackson
Counties Suffer From Fever
Douglas and Jackson counties
reported 22 shipping fever cases
during November. This animal
diseases, which is technically
called hemorrhagia septicemia
was the most common disease
and the greatest killer of live
stock in Oregon during that per
iod, says Dr. K. J. Peterson, state
veterinarian for the Oregon de
partment of agriculture.
The entire state reported more
than 500 shipping fever cases
during the month.
Cases Reported
Douglas county reported one
shipping fever case, a hog, which
later died of the disease. Prac
ticing veterinarians in Jackson
county found the disease in 11
cattle, with one case fatal. Lake
county was hardest hit by ship
ping fever. There, 11 of Iid cases
proved fatal.
The second most frequent dis
ease in Oregon during November
was brucellosis. The number of
brucellosis reactors in the state
increased in November due to a
stepped-up testing program, Dr.
Peterson explained.

Trolley Passengers
Pay Double Fares
Portland !U.R) Interurban
trolley passengers reaching Port

Cargo Ship Caught
Between Ice Floes
McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
U.R The U. S. Navy cargo ship
Arneb, water pouring in through
her damaged plates and her pro
pellor broken, lay helpless to
day in the grip of two giant ice
floes. Standing nearby in the
icepack but unable to aid her
was the ice-breaker Northwind.
Winds of hurricane force
drove the ice pack of Moubray
Bay out to meet the Ross Sea
icepack and trapped the 12,800-
ton Arneb between them near
Cape Hallet New Year's Eve.
The grinding pressure cracked
open the Arneb's previously
damaged hull plates, broke a
propellor blade and damaged the
reduction gear which transmits
turbine power to the ship's twin
screws.
The cargo ship, with 218 of
ficers and men aboard, was on
its way to land supplies for the
joint U. S.-New Zealand Interna
tional Geophysical Year base
500 miles north of McMurdo
Sound.
The Coast Guard icebreaker
escort Northwind radioed that
the massive icefield, estimated
to cover 200 square miles, had
reduced its own operational abil
ity and so far it was unable to
maneuver to free the Arneb or
relieve the pressure on her.

Teenager Charged
With Murder of Girl
Dallas, Tex. (U.R) A teen
ager with a six-year criminal
record, who admitted killing a
12-year-old girl, will be charged
with murder today. He probably
will escape serious punishment
because he is a juvenile.
Police Capt. Will Fritz said
the youth, Simon Rodriguez, 16,
admitted shooting Janet Irene
Mangan twice and beating her.
A coroner said the girl was
raped, but Rodriguez denied he
had sexually assaulted her.
Rodriguez has a police record
from the age of 10. He was in
volved in the arson of a school
in 1955 and has been in police
custody for automobile theft,
carrying concealed weapons and
aggravated assault with a gun.
He has escaped serious punish
ment because he is a juvenile.
Fritz said he thought the worst
that could happen to Rodriguez
under the murder charge would
be a short commitment to the
juvenile home.
"We separated the men and

was a lot of blood on Paul's
shirt."
Chambless ran down 1 and
killed Trinidad Cardoza, a seven-year-old

truck in Houston in 1954. Police
who arrested him said he was
"so doped up" he couldn't even

Soviet Diplomats
Visit Hungary's
President, Dobi
By JACK MEEHAN
United Press Correspondent
Budapest U.R) Diplomats of
Soviet satellites and several neu
tral nations paid their respects
to Hungarian President Istvan
Dobi Tuesday under the watch
ful eye 'of a Russian machine
gunner. But the United States Britais
and France snubbed the first
major reception for foreign dip
lomats since Janos Kadar seized
leadership of the Communist
government from Imre Nagy.
A Soviet armored car discreet
ly tucked away in a side street
trained a large-caliber machine-
gun on the Parliament buildings
as a string of cars bearing visit
ing diplomats swept across the
snow-covered square.
Slap in Face
The snub by the Big Three
Western powers was considered
a slap, in the face for the Kadar
regime because the reception
technically was only for Dobi,
a member of the Smallholders
Party who has been president
since 1948.
According to the rules of pro
tocol, the reception had nothing
to do with Kadar. However, the
U. S., British and French mis
sions apparently stayed away as
an indication of their disap
proval of the regime that ousted
Nagy and called in the Russian
army to crush the Hungarian
revolt.
This correspondent went to
the party uninvited, 'walking
past the machinegun-bearing car
and through the iron doors of
the parliament building.

ent. A civilian official denied

"But you are free to look

Farmers Should Get
Better Income in '57
Corvallis (U.R) Oregon
farmers should enjoy a somewhat
improved income in 1957 in the
opinion of an Oregon State Col
lege agricultural economist.
Mrs. Elvera Horrell said a
small increase in farm earnings
in 1956 marked the first such im
provement since 1951 and that
1957 should see still more im
provement. Mrs. Horrell credited her . op
timistic outlook to several fac
tors, one of them the soil bank j
plan of the Eisenhower adminis- j
tration. She said a large and ',
successful soil bank could bring
a turning point in the supply pic-!
ture by bringing about a reduc- j
tion in total agricultural output j
next year.
On the demand side, the econ
omist noted that employment and
income are high and consumers
continue to spend about one
fourth of their take-home pay
for food.

Government Reports
Rise in Cash Sales
Of Farm Commodities
Washington (U.R) The gov
ernment reported today more
than 60 per cent of federally
owned farm commodities dis
posed of since 1953 brought cash
on the barrelhead.
The Agriculture Department
said in a year end review, of sur
plus disposal operations that the
percentage of these dollar sales
has gone up recently.
tor the first quarter of fiscal
1956, July through Sept. 30, dol
lar sales rose to 71 per cent of
the total distribution. For the
July, 1953 to September, 1956,
period, the dollar sales percent
age was 61.
Special Programs
In addition to sales for cash,
large volumes of surplus com
modities moved out of the Com
modity Credit Corp. inventory
through special programs. These
disposals were by sales for for
eign currencies, barter, transfers
to other agencies and donations.
Department officials were jub
ilant over the dollar sales. In ad
dition to reducing the surpluses
which depress markets, the cash
sales cut down on storage costs.
The department noted that
largely through cash sales, CCC
inventories of several commod
ities have been drastically re
duced or completely depleted.
There is a "sold out" sign on
butter, cottonseed oil, linseed oil,
seeds, and dry edible beans. Rice
inventories are all committed for
sale. Wool is being sold into mar
ket channels in steady volume.
The same is true of cotton.
Barter operations have dis
posed of more than $500 million
worth of farm commodities at
export market value since July,

barter commodity, accounting
for more than 40 per cent of the
total on a value basis.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency sales in 1956
under the agricultural trade de
velopment and assistance act of
1954 accounted for $1.9 billion
worth of CCC owned farm com
modities. The commodities were
committed for sale through 44
agreements with 25 countries.
The principal commodities in
cluded in the agreements were
wheat, cotton, and rice.
Donations of food to private
relief agencies for overseas dis
tribution and the barter of agri
cultural products for foreign
strategic materials accounted for
an estimated $550 million of
1956 agricultural exports. Agri
cultural exports aided by Export-Import
Bank loans totaled
about $75 million in value.
