Ornithologists predict only one-third of this peak in population will survive tnrougn the winter. Because of this high attrition rate, it is necessary for many species to hatch out two or more broods each year and so raise relatively large families. Migrating swallows and vultures, however, are readily identified, and their congregations in large flocks during Sentember are spectacular to even the casual observer. 1 always look for autumn migrating swallows on the wires adjacent to Agate rd. north of Little Butte creek. This year the peak of migration occurred from Sept. 18 to 311 when the electric lines for almost a mile wi-re crowded with Derching swallows. From. Sept. 10 to 20 small and large circling flocks of vultures were passing over the valey. The size of the flocks varied from 10 to 50 or more. The last vulture 1 saw on the Rogue was Oct. 1. Other noticeable migrants were flocks of chipping spar rows seen on the Rogue on Sept. 17. Returning for the winter season, migrant Lewis woodpeckers and golden crown sparrows were observed on Sept. 15. bavannan spar rows are resident the entire year, however, there are evi dent Deaks in Doimlation in the spring and fall. Larger than normal numbers of this interesting sparrow were seen at ihn viiini, commission area on Aug. 24. H. Pringle and I visited Tulelake refuge and lava beds Sept. 14. En route via the Dead Indian rd. we saw two Goshawks, the first I have seen this year. At Tulelake, there were two immature avoeets, 12 snowy egrets, and Forster (cms as well as thousands of ducks nnd geese. I was sur prised to learn from the naturalist at the lava beds that pygmy nuthatches were quite common there, and that red irnssliills had snrnt the summer near the refuge head quarters. Crossbills were seen in Jackson county In Ihej winter of 11)55 hut have not been reported since that date. When vmi no to the coast, do you see many shore or sea birds'? Mrs. Ted Conway reports that she saw wandering tattlers, seniors, nnd snnderlings, during a low line perioa al Harris Beach Slate park north of Brookings. j Also durinir low tide I have seen shore birds on the north side of the bay near Newport. Information concern-1 ing other favorable locations for seeing consiai Dims wouin be appreciated. Elton Petrie from Ashland called me recently concerning some Vaux swifts that were using a chimney in the armory for a roosting site. About a year ago Audubon's Magazine had an article on Vaux swifts nesting in the fireplace chimney of a private residence In Red Bluff, Calif. Considerable difficulty was experienced In evicting the birds. Even whan a fire was started in the fireplace, the swifts did not leave the chimney, but flew into the house causing damage. I should think tile solulion would lie lo temporarily close up the top of the chimney while the swifts were away foraging for food. if nrn nlnnninu to have a bird feeder this winter. October is the month you should start operation. I am still ; convinced that those who have only one feeder should ar range to suspend a large chunk of suet from a clothes line or tree limb. Meat packers or the Groceteria in Meclford, generally can supply the large chunks of hard suet. An empty mesh potato bag or a screen basket will serve as n container. If you wish lo extend your feeding operation, small feed ers with a chick scratch, or Inverted pine cones filled with peanut butter and chick scratch, will attract the smaller birds. All feeders should be suspended sufficiently high to be out of reach of cats and dogs. The first birds al my feeders this October were the pair j of titmice who have nested and lived in the yard fur the past five years. They went for the sunflower seeds and chopped nuts in a suspended mason jar. The lid of this jar has a round hole with a diameter of one nnd one-half inches. I Sparrows and scrub Jays were me next visitors io suei and cracked corn feeders. A ruby crowned kinglet looked over the feeders but didn't partake. 1 would like to know if other birders have success feeding these kinglets. Two golden crown sparrows have commenced In feed on the chicken scratch. They also like leftover pancakes and pieces of broad. Many people telephone me with queries about birds I am usually home in the evenings and can be reached by calling 773-5230. I also have color slides of about 80 of our western birds and different types of feeding stations that I will show to Interested groups or clubs. $ HANDY HUNDRED $ Signature Only Loans to $1500 Home Owned & Operated.

IS PHICE STABILITY PREVENTING PROSPERITY? The remarkable stability of prices of raw materials across the board and of most goods in recent years is turning out to be too "remarkable" for the financial health of many basic U.S. industries and also of underdeveloped countries around the globe which are leading producers of raw materials. Now, new signs that price stability is giving way to weak ness in key areas in dramatizing the towering problems in herent in the ideal of steady to lower prices - an ideal to which we paid ardent lip service during the early post-World war 11 inflation years. The stable-to-weak price structure Is keeping U.S. indus try in a tight profit squeeze. With competition for the con sumer's dollar so intense, with supplies of just sbout every- I thing more than ample, with the buying public hardly hun gry, most companies simply cannot raise prices to cover their climbing production and overhead costs. A Wall Street Journal poll of 100 manufacturers disclosed only 22 price increases which have stuck since Aug. 1 on things the manu facturers buy and sell. These have been offset by 23 price cuts and by "concessions" which don't show up as outright cuts but which still dig into profits. But most of this y.iil tncroai and of the increases In Immediately preceding years have been due to the con- . tinumg climb in the cost of tarvicai. Prices of many goods actually are down. What more, the consumer price index Is the only one which has been rising even this much. The government's index of raw industrial commodities. which figures 1957-39 as the base period of 100, is down to 94. The government s index of wholesale prices for non-farm. goods, which also figures 1957-59 as 100. is around 100.8, which Is practically no change. The index ol consumer fin ished durable goods, excluding food, is around 100.2 and ol consumer finished non-durable goods, a bit over 101. This is stability with a vengeance and it has held for years now. On top or this comes the sudden rash of price cuts of the last several days. Aluminum Company of America, for in stance, has cut prices of aluminum sheet products-used in the auto, appliance, utensil and construction industries-by as much as 14 per cent. Du Pont has cut the prices of Orion acrylic fiber by more than 10 per cent. While some price hikes have been posted-as illustrations, in silver and news paper ink-price softness Is the big news. The factors behind these trends are clear; worldwide competition, the disappearance of shortages, the fulfillment of World War It's pent-up demands, the existence of excess plant capacity, businessmen's determination to maintain strict control over inventories at this time. This profit squeeze has undoubtedly contributed to the slowdown In the growth of the U.S. economy. Businessmen are not going to risk investing In large-scale pldnt expansion and modernization ventures unless they see a demand for the goods they can turn out and a chance to make a reason able profit on the sale of the goods. The price pattern drawn since the late 1930s, therefore. well may be a reason our unemployment rate has remained so stickily high. It well may be more than a coincidence that ever since we entered this era of price stability our economy has crawled from recession to sluggish recovery, fallen back . Into recession, crawled again to sluggish recovery. To put It in a blunt, simple sentence! our most informed economists are coming io the uncomfortable conclusion that we have not yet learned how lo couple our ideal of steady prices with our goal of prosperity and full em ploment. You. who think of prices only in termi of what you paw for the .goods and services you buy for yourself and your family, may consider the above comments madness, myth or both. They are not. Yes. the consumer price index-the only measure we have of our cost of living changes-is sitting at an all-time high, up slightly more than 1 per cent from a year ago and the market basket of goods and services you could have bought for $1 in 1957-39 now costs you $1.05. But explaining the trends doesn t blow away the fact that they're tough on many of our great industries to which we must look to put zip Into our economy and create new jobs. After searching for price stability for so long we ve found It, and found too that it has brought with it a whole new set of problems about which we must ask new questions in order to find new answers.
