Farm Economist Predicts
Generally Lower Prices
For 1959 Farm Products
The housewife may pay
higher prices for beef in 1959,
but prices of some other farm
products will be lower, indi
cated Dr. G. Burton Wood,
head of the department of ag
ricultural economics, Oregon
State college.
Dr. Wood made his "guess
timates' during a talk before
the Town and Country break
fast at the Phoenix Grange
hall yesterday. This following
set of trends follows the over
all national trend of greatest
production in 40 years on the
smallest acreage.
1. Agricultural net income
is now up 6 per cent for 1958.
2. More beef cattle will be
kept on farms in 1959 which
will greatly boost the beef
prices.
3. Fourteen per cent more
hogs will be on the market in
1989 with $19 as top price.
Hogs will feed out at $12, $13
and $14 this time next year,
he said. This means a new low
in hog prices and pork to the
consumer.
4. Income of the Iowa corn
hog farmer will be down 25
per cent in 1959. In Indiana,
this type of farmer will see a
30 per cent drop in his income.
5. First quarter of next year
will find broiler prices at 17
or 18 cents. A year from now
the grower averagewlll be
1J cents.
6. A 3 per cent to 5 per cent
increase in the number of tur
keys on the market will mean
that 50 per cent of the turkey
growers will lose money next
year.
7. Prices of eggs in 1959
will be 6 cents to 7 cents
lower since 3 per cent more
layers will be on the -farms.
Dr. Wood said he made
these predictions following a
meeting in Chicago of the col
lege feed survey committee of
the American Feed Manufac
turers association. The OSC
agricultural economist belongs
to a number of national boards
and committees. These in

ory council of the Agriculture
Commission of the American
Bakers association, past pres
ident of the Western Farm
Economics association, and
was appointed by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower as a
member of the National Agri
culture Advisory commission.
Dr. Wood said he learned,
while in Chicago, this coun
try will have the largest sup
ply of feed grains in history.
The 6 per cent increase of
farmers' net income is unusu
al since farmers marketed 4
per cent more in agricultural
produce in 1958.
The reason raisers of beef
and hogs have enjoyed a con
tinuing good market is they
have kept their stock off the
market when the price pic
ture looked unfavorable for
the future. This he said is a
good price support.
Cows and calves will be in
good supply in 1959 so it may
be a good year for the car
dealers, druggists and attor
neys to enter the beef raising
business. Wood remarked.
The hog picture has beien
unusually favorable for 1958.
However, this may mean more
hogs will be on the 1959 mar
ket, Dr. Wood said. Judging
by the number of sows breed
ing a 100 million will be on
feed and on the market in
1959.
Broiler Production High
About 5 per cent more was
the prediction for broiler pro
duction in 1958, the OSC man
said. Predictions for 1959 set
the total number of broilers
and fryers to go on the mar
ket at 1 billion, 800 million.
The turkey grower picture
looks rough for 1959, Dr.
Wood indicated. Jackson coun
ty growers are worried. Lo
cally, the retail price picture
hasn't changed from last year.
Current price is around 49

Another prediction is that
44 per cent excess of feed will
be available over that desig'
nated for consumption. This
means that an increasing num
ber of livestock will be fed
out.
Agriculture, he said, has de
veloped a tremendous horse
power. However, there is not
quite the same capacity in this
country to consume.
A new corn area has been
developed in the Yakima-Sun

tion is 150 bushels of corn to
the acre. Out of pocket costs
for such production is $42 to

A new white variety is pro
ducing 136 bushels to the acre
in the Palouse area.
Dr. Wood concluded his
talk by urging that more dol
lars be poured into research.
Only 7 per cent of the popula
tion is required to produce the
food on the breakfast table,
he said. This compares to 50
per cent for Russia. More pro

Corvallis Natural resources
come into focus November 20
and 21 at Baker when dele
gates from Oregon's 57 soil
conservation districts stage
the annual convention of the
Oregon Association of Soil
Conservation districts.
Farmers, professional con
servationists, and other agri
cultural leaders will discuss
soil, water, forests, and wild
life conservation in districts
that now cover more than 80
per cent of Oregon's farm
acreage. Ralph Wilson, Salem
farmer, is association presi
dent. .
Convention highlights will
include finals for the associa
tion sponsored state wide
speaking contest for high
school students. Regional win
ners representing seven Ore
gon areas, will compete. Topic
is "Forest Conservation."
Don Fredericksen, Gooding,
Ida., vice president of the Na
tional Association of Soil Con
servation districts, will speak
at the annual banquet. Master
of ceremonies will be William
Cooper, Union, a director of
the Oregon State Soil Conser
vation committee.
Farmers and district super
visors will conduct a symposi
um discussion on economics
of conservation for rangeland,
cropland, woodland and irri
gated land.
Prerade to the convention
is a statewide soil judging con
test for district delegates, Nov.
19 at Baker. Arthur King,

Farmers Warned
Against Planting
New Forage Grass
Corvallis - Oregon farmers
are cautioned against seeding
a so-called "new forage grass"
that has been ruled out of a
dozen states as a noxious
weed.
Now being promoted as Sor
ghum alum-it is also called
Sorghum grass, or Sorgo ne-gro-the
grass has made slight
inroads into Oregon, reports
the Oregon State College farm
crops department.
Sorghum alum is actually
not new in the United States
but has been under test as a
perennial sudangrass for at
least 10 years with generally
poor acceptance, according to
Rex Warren, OSC farm crops
specialist.
The coarse, creeper - type
grass is similar to Johnson
grass and is a rank grower,
reaching heights of 10 feet.
Like Johnson grass, it con
tains prussic acid poison. Most
western states have legislated
against it, and it has also been
ruled out as a noxious weed
in .Kansas, Indiana, Missouri,
Virginia and Georgia.
Trials Not Indicators
D. D. Hill, OSC farm crops
department head, says the few
farm trials in Oregon this
year were not good indicators
of Sorghum alum perform
ance since it was favored by
the early warm spring. It ire
quires higher temperatures
than corn for best growth.
' Better forage grasses for
Oregon are tall fescue, or
chardgrass, ryegrasses, and
wheatgrasses, Hill states. He
adds that field corn will dou
ble the yield of Sorghum
alum in Oregon as a summer
silage.
Tests in other states show
Sorghum alum to. be a nor
mally slow - starter in the
spring. This would shorten its
useable forage season, War
ren explains, since it would
be hazardous to livestock in
the fall when frost raises prus
sic acid content to poisonous
levels.
These trials also make it
doubtful that Sorghum alum
could consistently overwinter
in eastern Oregon, and its
creeper habit would make it
a menace in western Oregon
where it could apparently
winter through.

CHIT
By JOE G. COWLEY
Mail Tribune Farm Editor
Many farm groups are opposing the proposed wilderness
bill, according to the recent public hearing in Bend.
The Bend hearing is one of four to be held in the
Western states on this controversial bill, original version
of which was revised.
County Judge Rodney Keating and Charles H. Mack,
county judge of Klamath county, represented southern Ore
gon at the meeting. Both men were representing also the
public lands committee of the Association of Oregon Coun
ties, of which Keating is a member and Mack is chairman.
In his prepared statement to the sub-committee meeting
presided over by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, (D) Oregon,
Mack takes a common sense approach. Oregon county gov
ernment has a financial stake in continued use of one acre
in two of federal lands. Any change in this status should
be determined at the state and local level This is where
the public interest in such lands really lies, he pointed out..
In his statement he traced the trend of government man
agement of such national forest acreage. Administration of
such land started in 1891, he explained. Wilderness areas
have been created, extended, delimited and abolished by
the secretary of agriculture, the chief administrator of such
lands. Congress enacted the so-called Taylor Grazing act
in 1934 for orderly administration of such public domain,
Mack stated. 1
Local advisory boards, the federal and state wild life
agencies and the secretary of interior have been authorized
to protect wildlife in these areas also. Also, subject to
public hearing such as the one held at Bend, the secretary
of the interior may withdraw such acreage for recreation
uses. States and counties may use such lands for parks.
Multiple use idea for such federal lands in the west is
now an established policy. Those favoring single use of such
lands should not be allowed to modify the good judgment of
the lands administrator, Mack insisted.
One of the prominent local cattlemen remarked that
he doesn't blame those wanting to protect the beauties of
the natural wilderness from the beer cans and general
trash of the public. People favoring the wilderness bill,
apparently, are going by the assumption if people have to
hike into an area they won't be apt to pack a lot of trash in.
Roads into such areas are forbidden, according to the pro
visions of such a bill. He points to the public's mistreat
ment and trash dumping on an Applegate farmer's land.
This farmer allows use of this riverside spot for picnic use.
He thinks, and we agree with him, that the purpose of
the bill is good. That is to protect our natural wildlife areas.
Some legal safeguards should be set up. However, at the
same time the entire public and the state and local economy
should not be penalized for the actions of the few. Further
compromise will have to be worked out.
" Further criticism from the southern Oregon area was
provided by the statement of Forrest Cooper, Lakeview,
who has served as counsel to the Interstate Association of
Public Land counties for 12 years. This is a tax-supported
organization and includes Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. It deals with public
land problems.
Fifty per cent, or one acre out of every two in the 11
western states, is owned by the federal government, he
points out. Use of such land should be measured by the
present yardstick, "the greatest good for the greatest num
ber of our citizens," he said.
"The wilderness bill is not irrevocable. The decision to
destroy wilderness is a final choice. Any legal protection
we can give to wilderness now Congress can revoke if the
national welfare ever demands it," was a statement made
by Charles D. Hessey Jr., representing the Cascadians of
Yakima, Wash. This is perhaps the strongest argument for
the bill.
R. E. Kerr, Eugene, representing the Oregon Farm
Bureau Federation, stated that the bill diminishes rather
than increases the recreation potential of the country,
militates against conservation and is not necessary and is
untimely." This probably sums up the feeling of other farm
groups opposing the bill. These include the Oregon Cattle
men's association, Oregon Wool Growers and the Washing
ton Wool Growers.
We side in with the farm interest opposing this bill.
Sunday we were reading about "cars with the backward
look." This was a story about manufacturers of ancient
model cars. We feel this is "a bill with a backward look."
A good many farmers who oppose this bill are also ardent
fishermen and nature lovers. They seem to feel, as we do,
that creating payrolls or just plain eating comes before
fishing, hiking and camping. There is a lot of good eating
on sheep and beef animals allowed to graze on government
timber land pastures. There' would be even more such
animal grazing if wilderness areas were opened to other
than recreational activities.
We like to fish, hunt and hike just as much as anyone
else. In our early teens we spent much time in the great
wilderness area of a national forest, fishing, hiking and
shooting down a river in an Indian dugout canoe. '
Hiking through the woods we stepped over downed
and rotting timber, threaded our way through sections of
spindly trees and slipped through brush. Proper sustained
yield practices would have cleared the dead and down
timber and allowed for planting of seedling trees rfor future
sound timber. The spindly trees could have been cut out
to permit growth of the giant Douglas fir trees. The brush
could have been removed to make room for grazing land -fat
steers and sheep - eventually beef and mutton for you
and me. But it was and is a wilderness area so none of
these things could have or are being done. Proper timber
operations would have enhanced the forest beauty. And
don't tell me grazing cattle in a woodland meadow don't
make a pretty sight!
Another aspect - the tourist industry which the Pacific
Northwest is really just beginning to appreciate and profit
from. Mount Rainier in the Mount Rainier national forest,
another wilderness area, could be as good a skiing area as
any place in the Swiss Alps. People who have skied in
both places say so.
However, under present "wilderness area" law this
can never be. Tramways and lifts which could carry skiers
and sightseers to upper snowy white reaches of the mountain
cannot now be erected. In fact, the U.S. Forest Service in
sists that rope tows be removed from the lower slopes after
every ski season. No permanent structures can be erected.
Yet many people miss seeing more of the mountain's beauty
since they cannot reach its upper levels without becoming
mountain climbers and cannot ski the better slopes.
We used to belong to a mountaineering and skiing
organization which now strongly supports the wilderness
bill. Then we thought all wilderness areas should be pre
served against the onslaught of civilization. However, in
our work we have been privileged to view at close range
the operations of those interests which need this wilderness
area land to keep from "starving out." We now realize
such lands can be used for multi-purpose use rather than a
single purpose of recreation. We strongly oppose the pro
posed establishment of another government agency which
would supervise the United States wilderness area.
Practical Oregon politicians in close touch with the
wishes of their supporters should, too, since Oregon voters
resoundingly defeated at the general election all measures
which" even smelled of more taxpayer expense. People of
this state, then, certainly would oppose creation of another
money-gobbling federal agency. The goose, representing the
taxpayers, can only lay so many golden eggs.

W Fea,ure
vr norr society Meeting
One of the more interesting
parts of the 73rd meeting, of
the Oregon State Horticultur
al Society in Corvallis will be
a panel on pear tree decline.
Moderator of the panel dur
ing the opening session on
Thursday at Oregon State col

Farm &
Crater FFA Member
Builds for Future
Jim Conger, junior in voca
tional agriculture at Crater
high school, is typical of the
members of the FFA chapter
there since he is building for
the future.
Jim has 14 head of Suffolk
sheep and- eight head of beef.
He plans to plant five acres
to barley this year, also.
He and his father have 39
acres at their home place
which they farm and 100
acres at Jim's grandfather's
which they work. The Conger
farm is located one mile north
and one mile weset of Central
Point. The Congers raise a
few beef on their farm, but
mostly barley. Truck crops,
mainly squash and corn is
raised on the 100 acres.
Young Conger started in
4-H with one cow and a couple
of sheep, building up his herd
as he went. He got his start
by winning a Hereford cow at
the Cal-Ore Hereford sale. He
rented a bull for breeding
purposes.
Right now he is busy fat
tening a steer for next year's
fair He's too busy with farm
ing to go into many school
activities. Lambing which
starts in December particular
ly occupies his time. Then he
stays up at night with he and
his dad working in shifts.
He financed his $2,400 in
agricultural holdings by work
ing for his dad who paid him
so much an hour and bought
the feed.
Future education after high
school may hold agricultural
training for Jim. He wants to
go to a good agricultural
school. After that he and his
dad may become partners.
The young farmer thinks
the agricultural future of the
valley will be in small farms
with most of them not larger
New Markets Set
For Discussion
At Seed Meeting
Corvallis - Ways to open
new markets for Oregon's
multi-million dollar grass and
legume seed industry will re
ceive top billing at the 18th
annual meting of the Oregon
Seed Growers League, Dec.
8 to 10, Multnomah hotel,
Portland.
Possible markets for Ore
gon seeds in the Far East will
be reported by members of a
survey team that visited that
area earlier this year, said
Rex Warren, Oregon State
college extension farm crops
specialist and secretary of the
league. Giving the report will
be Hubert Willoughby, Har
risburg seed grower; Stanley
Cellers of Buchanan-Cellers
Grain company, McMinnville;
and Warren.
Seed growing and seed
needs in South and Central
America will be reported by
D. D. Hill, head of the OSC
farm crops department. Hill
recently returned from an ex

Seed promotion activities
that can be carried on in
these and other areas will be
among the main topics at this
year's seed league meeting,
Warren stated.
Other program features in

Milk Checks Meet
State Standards
In Four Cities
Salem-After completing a
survey of city milk inspection
services in Astoria, Eugene,
Medford and Portland, the
state department of agricul
ture has approved all four
operations as meeting state
standards.
State law provides that
cities may maintain their own
milk inspection services tro-
vided that the grade designa
tions conforms with state
standards. The law further
directs the state department
of agriculture to survey these
city systems at least once
a year to determine if state
standards are being met.
In 1945, when this fluid
milk act was passed, there
were 12 city milk inspection
services; now there are four.
In the four cities, 122 of
the 1,189 dairy farms were
state checked, as well as all
25 of the processing . plants.
In making the survey, the
department inspects a repre
sentative number of dairy
farms under city inspection
and all of the milk processing
plants to determine if sanitary
conditions are at least meet
ing state minimum standards4"abuses
The department inspector
also determines from the rec
ords of the inspection service
if the city is satisfactorily
enforcing state standards
throughout the year. The city
milk laboratory's sampling
and . testing procedures are
also checked to see if standard
practices are being used.
O. K. Beals, chief of the
department's division of foods
and dairies, , and Kenneth E.
Carl, assistant chief in charge
of dairy law enforcement, su
pervise the program. Vergil
Simmons and Alvin Tesdal,
dairy specialisis, made the
inspections. -
Brand Inspection
Fee Now 30 Cents
Salem - The state depart
ment of agriculture has an
nounced that livestock brand
inspection fees will be in
creased to 30 cents per head,
effective Nov. 15.
' The increase was recom
mended by the department's
official livestock advisory
committee and approved
unanimously by the brand
committee of the Oregon Cat
tlemen's association.
The brand inspection fee
has varied from 20 to 30 cents
per head in the past eight
years. H. A. Ma tschiner, live
stock officer who supervises
the brand inspection program,
said there has been a deficit
in the budget for the opera
tion since the fall of 1957, due
to higher costs and fewer in
spections. '
On April 1 of this year the
fee was raised from 20 to 25
cents. This increase has not
been sufficient to put the pro
gram back on its feet, Mat
schiner said.
