The U.S. department of ag
riculture wound up its cur
rent lard-purchasing program
this week with the purchase
of 3,027,000 pounds for about
$367,000. Since the start of
the program on Oct. 22, the
department has bought a to
tal of 61.560,000 pounds of
lard for $7,313,000.
Other purchases by the ag
riculture department this
week included 112,125 pounds
of dried whole egg solids for
$119,000. Since, the egg pur
chase program began early
this year, the department has
bought 8,732,625 pounds of
dried whole egg solids for
$8,965,000.
WHAT will be done with it?
Well, presumably, this 70
odd million pounds of lard
and dried eggs will be added
to the already large food sur
pluses stashed away in the
warehouses and so will HANG
OVER THE LARD AND EGG
MARKETS OF THE FUTURE
LIKE A THUNDERCLOUD.
As a result, the next time
the supply of lard and eggs
gets a little short this sur
plus will presumably come
onto the market and will
PREVENT THE UP IN PRICE
THAT NORMALLY OCCURS
WHEN DEMAND EXCEEDS
SUPPLY.
. That, I'm afraid, will be
about the long and the short
of it.
Firms Join To
Fight Competition
Salem-(UPD-A Eugene firm
and another from Coos Bay,
competing in hauling resins,
glues and chemicals to the
southwest Oregon plywood
industry, came out together at
a public utility commissioner
hearing Monday to oppose
competition from a Portland
carrier.
Ferguson Transfer Compa
ny, Coos Bay, and Everts'
Commercial Transport Inc.,
Eugene, testified they were
capable of handling "present
and future commitments."
The Portland firm of St.
John's Motor Express has ask
ed that PUC for extension of
Intrastate rights to allow it
to accept shipments from Bor
den Chemical' Company,
Springfield.
LET'S turn now to a more
cheerful subject.
In 1959, the-estimated in
come from agriculture in the
Upper Klamath Basin of Ore
gon and California reached a
total of $39,079,014. This com
pares with a Basin total of
$31,967,609 in 1958 and $32,
979,794 in 1957. The 1959
total was the third highest in
the Basin's history, being ex
ceeded only by 1951 and 1952.
The all-time high was in
1952, when the Basin's agri
cultural income reached a to
tal of $44,015,748. That was
back before the time when
land taken out of the so-called
basic crops began to be put
lnn the Basin's specialty
crops, such as brewing bar
ley, small seeds, etc.-a type
of competition that has hurt
our markets.
llfHAT gave Klamath Basin
' agriculture its big up in
tncvime In 1959?
The answer to that is inter
esting." IT WAS HAY AND
uoTATfiFS Hav accounted
for approximately two mil
lion dollars or. ine isaa up
over 1958 and potatoes for
about six million dollars.
How come?
The answer to that is VERY
Interesting.
IN 1959. for whatever reason,
hay and potatoes were in
relatively short supply over
the country as a whole. -So
As a result of the operation
of the natural law of supply
and demand '
THE PRICE OF BOTH
HAY AND POTATOES ROSE.
Both were in relatively good
supply in the Klamath Basin
and so the Basin's hay and po
tato producers were enabled
to cash in.
That's the story in a nut
, shell.
TV fnnrliminn
1 Suppose that in 1959 a huge
subsidy - induced SURPLUS
of hay and potatoes had been
stashed away in me uniuu
barns and storage warehouses
... to hang like a dark thun
dercloud over the hay and po
tato markets. ' '
i hat avent there would
have been NO UP IN PRICE
FOR THE KLAMATH BASIN
GROWERS, because the sub-
ir,l,,o,H nrnlUS would
mj - Kit."-- i -
have come out of the barns
and the warehouses to swamp
the market.
That's about the size of it.

State Insurance
Retaliatory
Clause Enforced
Salem-ATD-Insurance Com
missioner V. Dean Musser told
a legislative interim commit
tee Monday his department is
enforcing the retaliatory
clause in the state insurance
law and is concentrating on
1959 taxes of out-of-state in
surance companies.
Musser testified before the
tax - administration and ' ap
peals subcommittee headed by
Rep. ' Vernon Cook (D-Trout-
dale).
Cook and Musser exchanged
bitter words recently on the
issue, which centered on an
attorney general's opinion
holding that imposition of the
retaliatory clause is manda
tory rather than discretionary.
Basis of Tax Rate '
The retaliatory clause states
that an out-of-state insurance
firm may be taxed on the
basis of the tax rate of its
home state if that rate is
higher than Oregon's.
Musser said there are 16
states involved where the
higher rate will apply. When
the new audits for 1959 are
completed, probably next
week, his staff will work back
through the years to 1947
when the law was passed, he
said.
Musser said he has been
"unofficially advised" that a
test suit from an insurance,
company is forthcoming.

ing for a man whose tele
phoned bomb threat forced a
United Air Lines Convair with
44 passengers aboard to return
here Monday night for a
thorough search. The plane
later landed safely at Boise
and continued its flight to Salt
Lake City.
The bomb scare was the sec
ond on a Boise-bound United
Air Lines plane in little more
than 24 hours. An Eastern
morning flight was grounded
at Boise when a Catholic
priest from Portland alleged
ly made a remark about hav
ing insurance in case there
was a bomb aboard.
Man Calls Office
The flight grounded at Pen
dleton, Flight 348 from Seat
tle to Boise via Pendleton, was
about five minutes out of the
Eastern Oregon city when a
man's voice called the oper
ations office of the line in
Boise and said, "There's a
bomb aboard your next flight,
Buddy."
The plane was called back
as state police, city and coun
ty officers, and demolitipn ex
perts sealed off the municipal
airport from civilians. The
passengers were taken off the
craft and the baiigage was un
loaded. Then, piece by piece and
passenger by passenger, the
flight was scoured by police
and the FBI.
Cargo Checked
When it was considered
safe, the plane, piloted by
Dick Benslcr, Seattle, took
off.
R. E. Gustavel, United oper
ations officer at Boise, said
all cargo was checked before
