prises to aid FSA borrowers and
disadvantaged farm families in
meeting the ' Food for Freedom
quotas set up by the county agri
cultural defense board, reports
Earl A. Gardner, county FSA su
pervisor, federal building, Klam
ath Falls.
- "Every effort will be made to
help farmers unable to secure
adequate credit from other
. sources to purchase the cows.
hogs, poultry, seed, feed and
equipment necessary to place
their farms on an all-out defense
production basis," Gardner said.
"Where facilities for defense
food expansion are available,
, farmers will not only be able to
add to their incomes but prevent
inflation by producing food for
, which there is increased de
mand." Modifications of the neutrality
' act, making American ships
.available for carrying food to
: Britain, is expected to substanti
ally increase present demand for
. defense foods, it was pointed
' out. Another important consid
eration, said Gardner, "is the
fact that the machinery for sup
porting defense food prices, crop
controls and need for feeding Eu
rope and replacing breeding
herds, after the war, minimizes
' possibilities of a post-war slump
in farm prices.
'TSA families are also plan
ning to increase .food production
through machinery cooperatives,
: better sires, improved dairy and
poultry practices, increased feed
: crops and expanded live-at-home
program for meeting family food

Weekly Market Trends
The more nearly dairy farm
ers can arrange for a year-round
pasture system, the less they will
be bothered by labor shortage
next year, points out E. R. Jack-
man, extension farm crops spe
cialist, in listing a number of
ways Oregon farmers can pre
pare in advance to cheat next
year s labor shortage bogie.
When dairy cows are on pas
ture, labor is reduced by more
- than one-half, as compared with
feeding harvested crops. Jack-
man points out. Hogs can also
: get part of their feed from pas
ture, with alfalfa and rape being
the best bets for them. Pigs on
such pastures need only half as
much protein supplements for
balanced rations.
For dairy farms high per
centage of land in hay and pas
ture has been found most profit
able. Coast farms particularly
have adopted this plan, preferr
ing to buy grain produced in
regions where growers special
ize in grain crops.
SHOW DATES SET

CATTLE MARKETS
Cattle trading was fairly ac
tive in North Portland Monday
although the offering of 2900
head constituted a fairly liberal
supply. Most of the good fed
steers sold at $11 to $12, while
grassers and short fed stuff
brought $9.50 to $10.75. The
market was also reported strong
to slightly higher in San Fran
cisco, although actual trading
was slow. A good clearance was
also reported from Chicago, al
though top prices were little if
higher than in Portland.
Until recently the average
weight of steers at Chicago has
been at a record high, but now
receipts are running somewhat
lower in this respect. Numbers
of cattle slaughtered continue
large and, because of the former
liberal percentage of heavy high
yielding steers, the total tonnage
of beef slaughtered this year may
establish a new record..
SHEEP AND LAMBS MARKETS
Fat lambs were steady to 15
cents higher at North Portland
where 1700 head were offered
on Monday; some strictly good to
choice 90-pound wool lambs sold
at $10.75. The highest price last
week was $10.50. Good to choice
truck-ins moved Monday at
$9.75 to $10.25. Higher prices
prevailed at San Francisco, al
though in Chicago the market
closed 15 to 25 cents lower on
Monday, as it did in Omaha.
Highest price for choice fat na
tive lambs in Chicago was $11.25
The Chicago prices last week
were about $2.50 higher than a
year ago.
HOG MARKETS
Although an extra heavy run
of 4100 head of hogs arrived in
Portland Monday, only 2600 head
were offered locally. Good to
choice light butchers brought
mostly $10.40 to $10.50, with a
few at $10.60. Last week a
flurry in trading carried prices
to $11.15, a gain of 65 cents over
the week previous. The market
on Monday was slightly higher
in San Francisco and Chicago,
with a top price of $9.90 on the
latter market.
Receipts at the 12 large mar
kets of the midwest in recent
weeks have contained less than
the usual proportion of sows.
This suggests the possibility that
farmers are saving breeding
stock for expansion. From mid-
March through September the
Federal Surplus Commodities
corporation bought 200 million
pounds of lard and 317 million
pounds of various kinds of pork.
This is about enough lard to sup
ply 15 million persons the aver
age amount consumed by Ameri
cans in a year, and enough pork
to supply four million the an
nual American consumption of
pork.
WOOL MARKETS
The total volume of territory
wool sold on the Boston market
last week. was lower than the
week before, although buyers
with immediate needs took mod
erate quantities at firm prices.
Average to good French combing
length graded fine territory
wools moved at mostly $1.10 to
$1.12, scoured basis. This was
equivalent to 37 to 40 cents in
the grease for wools shrinking
64 to 66 per cent, and equal to
34 fo 35 cents for grease wools
that shrink around 69 per cent.
Original bag territorial wools
running mostly fine and average
to good French combing lengths
brought $1.08 to $1.12, scoured
basis.
Wool prices stimulated by the
heaviest demand since the first
world war, have advanced stead
ily for the past several months
and in early November were at
highest levels in more than a
decade. Prices received by pro
ducers for wool shorn Inst
spring were 25 to 30 per cent
higher than a year earlier and
the highest since 1928.
INSURANCE ON
CHOPS HEADED
FOR BIG YEAR
Expanding each year since its
Introduction in Oregon in 1939,
federal all-risk wheat crop in
surance is headed for its greatest
volume in 1942, from the stand
point of number of farms cov
ered by policies, according to
Clyde Kiddle, crop insurance as
sistant with the state AAA of
fice.
Applications for insurance on
winter wheat have been received
from 5563 farms. Spring wheat
policies are yet to be written,
the closing date being February
28. For the 1941 crop year, 4691
policies were in force for both
winter and spring wheat.
The loss record for 1941 repre
sents a sharply contrasting pic
ture between eastern and west
ern Oregon-, Kiddle reports. Of
the 1228 loss claims paid up to
November 15, only 122 came
from the nine Columbia basin
wheat counties. Most of the
losses were reported in the Wil
lamette valley, where insects
and plant diseases hit many
farms. Hail and excessive mois
ture led as the causes of eastern
Oregon losses.
Nearly every kind of crop haz
ard is represented in the losses
paid so far. Percentages of the
total indemnities paid for each
cause of loss were given as fol
lows: Plant diseases, 29.2 per cent;
excessive moisture, 18.2 per cent;
insects, 16.9 per cent; hall, 9.9
per cent; drought, 8.4 per cent;
frost, 5.8 per cent; weeds, 2.8
per cent; volunteer vegetation,
2.5 per cent; migratory birds.
1.4 per cent; rodents. 1.2 per
cent; winter kill, 1.1 per cent;
fire, 1 per cent; crusting, .7 per
cent; wind, .5 per cent: flood, .4
per cent; lack of Irrigation water,
.3 per cent; stray stock. .1 per
cent; poor farming practices, .1
per cent; dust storms, .05 per
cent.
