BIRDING
By JOSEPH HICKS
Although the bird population is at its height during the
fall migration, identification by species is difficult because
of the large numbers of immaturcs. 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.

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.
