Hit Record High Corvallis Values of farm land ii Oregon and across the nation are still rising, reports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension agricultural economist at Ore gon State college. Oregon land values have come up more than a third since 1947 49, Mrs. Horrell said, and are now at the highest point on re cord. Value of farm land and buildings in the state, cot count ing livestock or farm machinery and equipment, now totals close to $2 billion. Average Value Average value per farm in the state is in the neighborhood of S33.000 about $10,000 higher than the national average. On a per acre basis, however, Oregon farm tends rank 31st among the 48 states, having a value on March 1 of $84 per acre com pared to better than S94 per acre as a national average. Looking over reports for the U. S. department of agriculture Mrs. Horrell found that land values in 34 states, including Oregon, increased 2 or 3 per cent during the four-month per iod ending March 1. In general, there has been a steady uptrend in national farm real estate values since 1954, Mrs. Horrell said. The onlv exceptions have been those states seriously af fected by drought. Values Supported The strong farm land values are supported by forces both in and out of agriculture, Mrs. Hor rell believes. Within agriculture there is an expanding technology based on a mechanized agricul ture and to make the most ef ficient use of their machinery. farmers are reaching out for more land. Outside of agriculture, there is a high level of business ac tivity, a rising price level, and need for space for the nation's growing population. Norblad Suggests Postal Closures Washington (IPI Repre sentative Walter Norblad an nounced today that he is recom mending to the Post Office department the closure or con solidation of six small Oregon post offices, based upon postal inspectors reports. "Prior to the advent of mod em roads and transportation," he said, 'these offices were probably a necessity, but they are now simply an unnecessary expense and the patrons can be served just as well by a rural station or by star routes. Norblad said one of the ex amples was the office at Mabel, Ore., in Lane county, where there are only six families to serve through post office boxes, and where the receipts are $280 per year and the cost to operate the office annually is $2300. He also cited the Granite, Ore., post office as being "oper ated in the summer time only" and serving only seven patrons. Other offices that Norblad recommends be closed or con solidated are those at Ada, Hardman, Eastside and Wonder, Ore.

Interior Oregon Fire Danger Up By UNITED PRESS The humidity dropped below 30 per cent in western Oregon today and the forest fire danger signal went up as the state braced for its hottest tempera tures of the year. The weather bureau said fire danger would be moderate to high in all interior areas of Oregon through Saturday but that the danger on the coast would decrease. Temperatures of 90 to 100 de grees were expected today and Saturday in southwestern inter ior galleys and the Columbia gorge. Medford was the hottest spot in the state on the Fourth of July with 99 degrees. The weather man said it was probable a slight break in the hot spell would occur late Sat urday with a push of cooler air from the coast. The five-day outlook called for little or no rain for Oregon except for a chance of thunder showers early next week. Highs are expected to range in the 80s On The Side By e. v. During (Distributed by King Features Syadicate, Inc.) Balzac was the first novelist to have a woman of 30 as a ro mantic heroine. Before that all the heroines were starry-eyed teen-agers. Many persons of ex perience believe the male attrac tion of a woman is at its height when she is 30 or thereabouts. Right now it is the woman of 40 who seems to have the most powerful male appeal. Of course it must be considered that any intelligent woman of 40 can make herself appear 30 years old or even younger. Anyway, women of 40 are reported gen erally winning over younger women in the battle for male at tention. Daughters are even re ported losing their boy friends to their divorcee or widow moth ers. Our Horses and Women de partment has been instructed to completely check this interest ing situation and report on same. Get It Right Darryl Zanuck, when a pro duction executive at Warner Brothers, fired Clark Gable. So, I note it said. That is not the way I heard it. Zanuck, then known as "The Boy Wonder From Wa hoo," wanted to hire Gable. Jack Warner, head of the studio, voted the suggestion, saying re garding Gable, "His ears are too big." Among The Married How about the connubial fel icity at your house? Is your wife being kind to you? What con stitutes cruelty to a husband to the extent of being grounds for divorce and eliminating the nec essity of paying alimony? In one case a husband testified and pro ved his wife had said she "hat ed" him. Though admitting so saying, the wife contended she was still entitled to support. The court ruled otherwise saying, For a wife to state to a hus band that she has ceased to love him is the end of connubial fel icity and neither law, justice nor reason demand that the hus band under such circumstances shall be condemned to a condi tion of penal servitude." has been claimed to be a Texan Borden was born in Norwich, Conn. He invented condensed milk in 1853 when he was 56 years old. Dogs Despite repeated claims to the contrary a dog is better off in the city than in the country. The city ddg usually lives two or three years longer than the country dog. His life is also a happier one. That is because he meets more people. Dr. James R. Kinney, internationally fam ous dog expert, has said, The dog loves cities because he loves to be with people. The dog doesn't care a thing about the society of other dogs. Intimate association with human beings is what he wants, it's what he has had for centuries and that's what he gets in cities." Greed Was recently revealed one Las Vegas, Nev., gambling joint makes an average profit of $27,- 000 a day! Yet this establishment, in common with other similar Las Vegas joints, complains its state and federal taxes are too high. What greed! Gambling is a luxury and should be taxed accordingly. Sidelights The most "telltale spot as to a woman's age are her elbows. On this many experts on the subject seem agreed. An or iginator of an effective emow rejuvenating" method should do all right financially. . .GaU Bor den, inventor of condensea milk, Seasonal Personnel Assigned at Park Seasonal personnel to sup plement permanent employees at Crater Lake National park and Oregon tCaves National Monu ment during the summer have been assigned, according to Tom Williams, superintendent.
