CATTLE MARKETS Price on tho North Portland market wero mostly steady on Monday when 1850 head of cat tle were offered locally. Me dium to good fed steer ranged from $12.73 to $13.90 while gras steers brought $11.30 to $12.30. Reports from other mar ket showed trading active at strong price at San Francisco although the top prlco reported was $13, while at Chicago some sales were as high as $14.80. The general trend of the cat tle market has been somewhat downward this past week except for highest quality steer. A few of these sold at $14 last week, which is a new high since 1020. lit tho midwest, demand for stocker nnd feeder cattle was slow last week although feeder prices have not changed greatly for several weeks. Average prlco of feeder steers at Knnsns City hns been around $12 com pared with $10 a year ago. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS One of tho smallest run of sheep and Iambs in weeks was reported at North Portland Mon day with only 1000 available for local sale. Tho downward trend In prlco was halted and a gain of about 23 cent was shown in Mondny's trading. Good to cholea spring lambs sold at $11.30 to $11.73. The San Fran cisco market was strong with a top of $14 while ot both Chicago and Omaha tho prlco tendency was weaker.

HOO MARKETS Although there was active trading in the 2000 head of hogs offered at North Portland Mon day, prices were down slightly compared with Friday's quota tions. Good to cholco slaughter hogs sold mostly at $14.50 with heavier weights up to $14. The market nt San Francisco was up about 20 cent with a top of $13.30 paid for choice Oregon butchers. A slight advance was also noted at Chicago with a top ot $15. Hog prices hnvo fluctuated only moderately during tho past two months. The general level Is now the highest In 20 years. Llvo prices are not expected to go higher In view of the perma nent colling now established on such hog markets as pork and lard. This ceiling affects ham, bacon and other pork products. Tho corn-hog ratio Is still con sidered highly favorable to hog production, as a hundred pounds of llvo hog would purchase 16.S bushel of corn compared to a long-time average of only 11.6 bushels. The June pig crop ro- port Indicates hofj production for 1042 will be by far the lnrgest on record. WOOL MARKETS Only a few sales were report ed on the Boston wool market last week although some ungrad ed territory fine wools moved to mills at $1.10 to $1.12 for mixed average and short French comb ing grades. Some sales were made In Montana and Wyoming of fine and half-blood territory wools to $1.10 to $1.12 for un graded lots. Most of tho fine territory wools wero reported out of growers hands.

Taylor of Adam, chair man of tho Oregon USDA war board. "Every time a cargo hlp soils for Ireland with food for American soldier and their al- lie, It carries tho average an nual production of 31)00 Amer ican farms," Taylor said. "These ship aro loaded with products thnt might have come from Ore gon farm dried eggs, dried and evaporated milk, cheese, canned and cured pork, lard, and canned and dried vegetables." To keep these vital supplies moving to wherever they arc needed all over the globe, farm' Farmers and ranchers of Klamath county will save ap proximately $14,500 during the next two years through contin ued low Interest rates on Fed eral Land bank and land bank commissioner loans, H. E. Hum aker, Klamath Falls, secretory treasurer of National Farm Loan associations serving the county, reported this week. The saving, Hamaker explain ed, result from legislation Just approved by President Roose velt which continues until June 30, 1944, the 3tt per cent in terest rate on Federal Land bank and land bank commissioner loans, with slightly higher rates for "direct" and "compartment" loons. This same lcglslotlon also re duces interest rates on land sales contracts and purchase money mortgages held by both the land bonk or the Federal Farm Mort gage corporation. Both of these have regular 5 per cent rates, reduced to 4 per cent for the next two years. Since 1935 the contract rate of interest for Federal Land bank loans made through Na tional Farm Loan associations has been 4 per cent. From 1917 to 1935 loans were made at va rious rates up to S per cent dur ing the "high money" days Hamaker said. The contract rate for commissioner loans is 5 per cent. In Klamath county, the total amount outstanding in Federol Land bank and land bank com missioncr loans, contracts and purchase money mortgages is ap proximately $2,500,000. FJELO DAT SET AT Farmers are reminded of the field day to be held at 1:30 p. m. Saturday at the Klamath agricul tural experiment station in the Spring Lake district. Professor G. R. Hyslop of Ore gon State college will be here for the event.

Cotton and alcohol are used to make smokeless powder. When a battleship fires a 16-Inch gun, a balo of cotton and 18 bushels of wheat are hurled at tho enemy. To paint the battle ship required the oil from flax seed produced on 169 seres. Wheat Insurance Protects From War Damage Federal crop Insurance offers protection against all pests and that includes Hitler, Hlrohito and crew, Oregon wheat growers are advised by the state AAA of fice. The farmer holding a policy from now on will be compensat ed for unavoidable losses caused by bombing or other war dam age under tho terms of the all risk crop insurance Just as he would be for losses caused by drought, Insects, plant disease wind, fire, flood or hail. This protection will be extend ed automatically to the holders of 1942 policies on 6098 Oregon farms, and will be continued for farmers insuring their 1943 crops during the next several months. THEORY DISPUTED CORVALLIS, July 9 VP) Old timers among range stockmen east of the Cascades used to say that as long as dry bunch grass was available their cattle would do all right. Livestock specialists of the OSC experiment station are dis putlng that theory now on the basis of careful tests made the past few years at the 16,000 acre Squaw butte station near Burns. Careful weights kept on cattle after the grass started to dry up showed that they quit gaining and frequently lost weight. Laboratory tests indicated the reason is the drop in protein in the dry grass compared with the green. If the range also has enough of the high protein browse plants, cattle will make up for the deficiency, says R. G. Johnson, head of the animal hus bandry department. Cattlemen hove been watch ing the experiments closely and many of them are adjusting their management practices accord ingly, says Johnson. They now plan to get their range stock on meadows earlier or supplement the dry forage with a protein concentrate.

CHICAGO WHEAT CHICAGO, July 9 W) Re newed buying late in the session today lifted wheat prices more than a cent a bushel to new highs for the past six weeks. Although the market was un settled much of the time by prof it taking and hedging sales, buy ers took the leadership after noon. Additional flour business, bringing millers into the market again, as well as expectations of speedy house action on legisla tion to advance government loan rates on basic commodities to full parity, which already has been passed by the senate, prompted the upturn. Just be fore the close the pit was filled with rumors of favorable prog ress of this legislation in the house and this prompted cover ing of previous short sales. Additional purchases of 250, 000 barrels 'of flour by eastern chain bakers brought the week's sales throughout the country to an estimated total ot 1,250,000 barrels, largest business in months. Wheat showed maximum net gains of as much as 11 cents at one time, rallying more than 2 cents from the early low point, and closed 1-1 ic higher than yesterday, July $1.21-1.211, Sep tember $1,231-1.
