E TO BE VIEWED IT KPCA MEET The big question In the farm er's mind price trends and out look for the coming year will be authoritatively discussed by a leading expert at the annual meeting of the Klamath Produc tion Credit association to be held here next Saturday, January 23. Dr. Orlo II. Maunhan, director of research and statiaticlan for the 12th district of the farm credit administration will be the speaker who delves Into future price trends. He is one of a num ber of outstanding men to be pn-sent at a meeting expected to attract 350 farmers and stock men and their wives from Klam ath, Lake, Modoc and Siskiyou counties. The meeting will start at 10 a. m. In the American Legion hall just back of the canrihnn. At noon adjournment will be taken to the Willard hotel for free lunch and entertainment. Figures presented in th fin. anclal report for the past year win again run into the millions. In 1040, the association lent 2 . 023.033.19 amort? il 2fli .inr.i,. holders. Indicative of the heulthy renavmcnt aclivitv nl it. members, the books of the or ganization showed at year's end only $867,171.40 in outstanding loans, whereas on December 31, 1930, the comparable figure was $932,341. Since it beifan 1934, KPCA has loaned $12. 164.000 to farmers and stockmen of this area. CharerH off tho books is an infinitesimal amount. At the coming meeting, one director will be elected. The term of William Kittridge as board member expires this year. Members of the board are Kittridge, E. M. Hammond. Lee Holliday, E. A. Geary, A. R. Campbell, Ned Sherlock and William Lane. Kittridge has served as president and Ham mond as vice president since the KPCA started.

PEAK FOR OREGON CORVALLIS, Jan. 18 Ifl -Mid-January hog prices mounted to the highest level since Sep tember, 1 938, agricultural ex tension service figures showed today. In a 10-day period prices rose $1.60, reaching a top at Portland of $9.50 despite fairly large local receipts, and advancing to $0 at Chicago. H. H. White, associate econo mist, credited the advance to increased consumer buying power, together with decreased marketings since the holidays and prospects of further de creases in the next few months. Late 19,40 hog prices dropped to exceptionally low levels after market supplies mounted. Fed erally inspected slaughterings in 1940 amounted to 50,400,000 head, an increase of 22 per cent over 1939 anJ 40 per cent over 1938. White said producers were en couraged to increase numbers by the fairly favorable corn - hog ratio in 1938 and 1939. The 1939 pig crop, mostly marketed in 1940, was 20 per cent larger than that of 1938. A reverse trend is now in sight since the low hog prices influenced producers to reduce the 1940 pig crop 10 per cent below that of 1939. That condi tion indicates smaller market ings through 1941, White concluded. South S. F. Livestock SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 (AP) (Fed-State Mkt.

Grain belt moisture also was a de pressing factor. Exporters reported Canadian flour sales to the United King dom were equivalent to about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat but this, as well as indications the blockade was being relaxed with respect to wheat shipments to Spain, attracted little attention.

It's a word we first picked out as an apt description of a new and better engine but it is rapidly coming to mean a com pletely new and excitingly pleasurable manner of motorcar travel. AH over the country, "to fireball" now means to enjoy both ease and dispatch in your travel by car with a very special new manner of thrift. Not the ordinary, scrimpy, self-denying sort of thrift, but thrift with all the thrills Uft in! Now, just why that happens is easy to understand. Optlonil rqulpment on the Buick SriciAt, standard on all othtr serin. Reenforced by Compound Carburetion this FIREBALL eight develops nearly 17 more horsepower on exactly the same fuel rationing. With all that power on call, we can use a more economical gearratioes our standard high gear a ratio that ups miles per gallon by giving more revolutions of the wheels for every revolution of the engine. Then, in addition, we have in Compound Carburetion a fuel supply system that adjusts itself according to the driving conditions you meet. Thus your engine is always getting the ut most benefit out of the least amount of gaso line that will give the performance you want. And that spells economy.. So much economy that a man who drives 15,000 miles a year gets as much as 2,000 miles' extra driving on the same amount of fuel. And that, Buick buy ers will tell you, is something very much worth looking into through a free dem onstration such as any Buick dealer will gladly give.
