Thomas, extension agricultur al economist at Oregon State College. He said farm income in the state has gained a little in each of the past three years, and has a fairly good chance of moving up again in the year ahead.

Fall plantings in the state were up 13 per cent over a year earlier. Prices for hay crops may be up the coming year, particularly if mouse damage is as great as now feared. Thomas said cattle prices in the state held high at the enc of the year, but "it is doubt ful if they will stay at . that level through. 1958." In other agricultural areas, Thomas predicted: Poultry men should have a better year; dairy returns probably will be about the same; fruits and vegetables should recover part of the ground lost during the past year; potatoes now in storage should enjoy steady-to-rising, prices.
