Present Farm Prices Expected to Continue Washington W The Agri culture department said today that present farm prices of live stock are expected to prevail at least through the first half of 1958. This means the retail price of meat probably will continue at its present level for the next year. The department's publication, "The Livestock and Meat Situa tion," said the 1957 calf crop is down 2 per cent from 1956, the lamb crop is 8 per cent smaller, and the combined spring and fall pig crops are only 1 per cent larger. "It is likely," the department concluded, "that livestock pro duction and slaughter, will con tinue for some time below their very high level of 1956. While employment and consumer in comes remain high, prices of livestock to producers, although fluctuating seasonally, may be expected to retain this year's gain through at least the first half of 1958." Feed costs probably will be less in the coming feed season than last, the department said. All feed crops except corn are larger than last year. Those of hay, barley and grain sorghums are of record size. Inspection of Poultry Approved in Bill Washington (W The Senate Monday .approved a compromise bill providing for the compul sory federal inspection of poul try products in major consum ing areas.

August 20, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNI WINS Bonneville Power To Be Curtailed;' Low Wafer Reason Portland (W All inter ruptible power loads to custom ers of Bonneville Power admin istration will be curtailed effec tive midnight, Aug. 31, because of low water in the Columbia river, BPA Administrator Wil liam A. Pearl said Monday. The cutback will affect 13 industries, mostly electroprocess, representing 17 plants. About one-third of the 17 plants' pro duction is served with interrupt ible power. "A combination of early spring runoff and light summer rains has dropped flows to below critical levels nearly a month earlier than usual," Pearl said. "Under present conditions, nat ural flow of 10.000 cubic feet per second produces only about 350,000 kilowatts of generation compared to about 500,000 if it were usable at all federal river plants." Pearl warned that continu ance of present flows unreliev ed by the usual fall rains would force curtailment on interrupt ible loads beyond Jan. 1. But, he said, heavy regionwide rains during the next 60 days could bring about almost immediate relief. Pearl said it will be up to j electroprocess industries as to whether they will try to main tain production dependent on in terruptible power, with such power as may be available on a temporary or week-to-week basis from other sources. Industries notified are -Aluminum Company of America. Van couver and Wenatchee. Wash., Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation, Spokane and Ta coma, Wash., Reynolds Metals Company, Longview, Wash., and Troutdale, Ore., Electrometallur gical company, Pacific Carbide and Alloys Company, and Penn sylvania Salt Manufacturing Company, Portland. Ore., Crown Zellerbach Corporation and Ray onier Corporation, Port Ang eles, Wash., Keokuk Electro Metals Company, Wenatchee, Wash., Pacific Northwest' Alloys Inc., Spokane, Wash., Victor Chemical works, Butte, Mont., Carborundum Company, Van couver, Wash., and Anaconda Aluminum Company, Columbia Falls, Mont. Washington (W The Sen ate Agriculture committee Mon day approved a bill prohibiting trading in onion futures on the nation's commodity exchanges. Few animals live in New Mexico's vast White Sands, an expanse of pure-white gypsum crystal dunes near Alamogordo. The few small animals that in habit the dunes, such as pocket mice, are white-furred. Mice of the same species, who live cut side the runes, are brown. Portland !W Col. Jackson Graham, Portland district Army engineer, said Monday that power from The Dalles dam on the Columbia river will flow ahead of schedule. Colonel Graham said that the Pacific Northwest power pool would start receiving 78.000 ad ditional kilowatts from the first main unit generator about Sept. 25. . He said the second of the four teen 78.000 kilowatt units would begin its supply to the system some time prior to its scheduled date of Nov. 1. mine at a public hearing wheth er poultry products were con sumed in the area in sufficient quantities to affect interstate commerce. After so finding, he would have to allow another six months before starting the com pulsory inspection. "Early major power from the $150 million corps of engineers project is a welcome contribu- j tion to the vast power network j since this is a low water year in the Columbia river basin," Col. Graham said. Only this week, Bonneville Power administration announced j a cutback in its flow of inter- i ruptible power to 13 electro-; process industries effective Aug. ; 31 because of low water in the : Columbia. - i Col. Graham's announcement i followed a meeting today at The Dalles dam where Army engi neers and contractors reviewed construction progress and de tailed project schedules. Col. Graham said that the ad ditional 12 main units would be put on the line, one by one, every three months.
