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

Washington (W The Senate

ment. It could not be put into
effect until after state or local

The Dalles Dam Power Ahead of Schedule
Tuesdar. 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

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.
