Tho iicllon won taken until Hifl secretary of agriculture enn do. termlne: 1. Thn effect of farm wanes on farm production In thn mom crit ical fnrm labor thortugn menu, and 2. Where Incrcuiuxi In fnrm wuiie.i nmy threaten to cmwio nn ncroose In the price ceilings on jtnrni products. Thin wn (lonii bvcuune agri cultural wanes In Kenernl nre sub-stumlnrd, because the coun try faces serious problem In holding, and if possible Increas ing, the supply of fnrm Inhor, and because most agricultural employers omploy ewer thnn eight workers t-mployer with not mors limn Unit number of worker already hnvo been ex empted by the Wnr Labor bonrd. Machinery has been worked out for handling wage Increases which inny affect prlco ceilings, In dispute cases It U tho prac tice of tho War Labor board to huvo a fuct-flndluif Investigation by a pnnel which submits It recomincndntinnn. It has been creed that in uch cases the Wnr Labor board will notify tho office of price administration when tho panel reports Its rec ommendations nnd that OPA will be Riven nn opportunity to make Its representations before do Vision U made. In non-dispute caiei, which would bo chiefly whero employ ers request the right to grant wage increases, at the time of filing for such permission, tho employer must stnio whether he believes the wags adjustment will nece.-ultata a prlco Increase, If It will, he must fllo an appli cation for such an increasa si multaneously with tho office of prlco administration. OPA can then detormlne whether a prlco Increase would be required, no tifying tho War Labor hoard. However, In both dispute and non-dispute enses where a possi ble price rlso becomes involved, the decision of tho wnr bonrd must bo approved by tho office of economic stobllUutlon.- Oreaon Shim 1200 OCars Cover Crop Seed Outside Twelve hundred carloads of Oregon-grown cover crop seed have been shipped to southern and east central states under the government's 1042 seed purchase program, tho state AAA office announced this week. This Is more than 17 70-cnr trnlnlnnds. While this Is by far thn largest volume shipped slnco tho gov ernment's purchase program was started three years ogo, southern states growers could have used much morn seed had It been ready for shipment earlier, N. C. Donaldson, AAA .executive as sistant, reports. Lateness of Oregon's harvest, tho shortage of help In ware houses and cleaning plants, end transportation problems all com bined . to delay deliveries this ft-ear.

CATTLE MARKETS While no sales of fed steers were reported at North Portland lost Monday, the 1800 head of other grades available for local trading were moved at prices up 13 to 23 cents over last week's close. Several loads of medium gruss steers brought $12 to $13, Tho best prlco paid Inst week for fed steors was $13.89. Ordinary grades of fed stents nnd yearlings at Chicago wero no more than stendy on Monday, although for best heavy weight steers as high as $17.30 was paid. , Reports from western states continue to indicate a decrease in cattle feeding all over the area. This may bo caused partly by the dclny of tho beet harvest although It Is known that oper ators aro continuing to hesitate about undertaking feeding oper ations becauso of the uncertain price situation. Largo- numbers of feeder cattle are available, however, and the movomont of such stock Into tha corn belt states has been at record num bers. In October, shipments of stocker and feeder cottla Into that area totaled some 20 per cent above last year. This heavy movement of stocker and feeder cattle has boosted tha general movement In tho 12 major mar kets to- unprecedented figures. Soma markets report tha heav iest run of cows since the drouth sales of 1034. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS Only 1000 head of sheep and lambs wero available for local trading at Portland on Monday, .., f it. ! , s"" :' n LJi The Quick and the Dead ".-""-. t... Tr "tscjj-Tij operator .to work during bad weather and work Is now out lined for uso of equipment where wet conditions will not Interfere. Mr. Prince, chairman, stated thnt a program for the first an nual meeting of the Langell val ley soil conservation district were made and will be an nounced soon. The accomplishments of the district were discussed and plans made to assist farmers further In keeping up their food produc tion, In spite of shortages of la bor, equipment and materials. when several medium to good lots brought $12 to $12.25. No good to choice kinds were avail able although these grades were quotable up to $13. Last week lamb prices worked up about 23 cents compared with opening prices, reaching a top of $12.73. HOC MARKETS Hog prices alone showed a weaker tendency at North Port land, where Monday's prices were generally 25 to 40 cents lower than Friday, which were In turn off compared with early in tha week. Finest quality butchers brought only $13.50 to $13.80. Top prlco at San Fran clsco was $14.63. The wholesale dressed meat trade throughout the country Is expecting an active demand for dressed meats, with supplies falling short of trade require ments. Tho situation is parti cularly acute in defense areas, such as the Pacific coast, whero many slaughter houses have al ready used up their entire quotas for this year. No adjustment has been arranged with OPA which would relieve the acute situation. WOOL MARKETS Scattered sales. of wool occur red on the Boston market last week, although little or no trad ing occurred In territory wools Sales of Wyoming wool were reported at a clean price of $1.14 and some graded fine staple Montana wool sold at a grease prlco of 34 cents for wool shrink' ing 83 per cent. Presence of large numbers of American troops In tropical climates has resulted In uncertainty as to amount of wool needed. Esti mates were formerly based on 140 pounds per soldier, but this may be high when all factors are considered. Estimates of un sold domestic wool in this coun try are now placed at IS to 20 millions pounds. ODT DEADLINE POSTPONED Postponement of the ' ODT deadline for "certificates of war necessity" from November IS to December 1 will give county farm truck owners time to make application for a certificate be fore effective date of tho ODT program. OPA regulations will permit tho Issuance of tempor ary gasoline rationing after De cember 1 if a "certificate of war necessity" has been applied for but not received. The County USDA War Board urges every farm truck ,owner who has not yet made application to do so Immediately. The county farm transportation committee still of fers assistance to farm truck owners in obtaining and filling out application forms, MILK OUTPUT STAYS HIGH No good dairy cows are going to the butcher, the state USDA war board reports, after a thor push probe of the . situation. Heavier culling is Indicated by on Increase In slaughter of poor er dairy type animals, but tha good cows from the large herds that are being reduced because of help shortage are going Into smaller herds.

IMS NUT INSTALL Permission to Install used gas oline dispensing pumps and stor age tanks on farms of 10 or more acres was granted today by the Wor Production Board on recom mcndatlon of the office of pe troleum coordinator for war Harold L. Ickes. In permitting the installation of pumps and tanks on farm of 10 or more acres, the amend ment provides that the equip ment to be installed must be second-hand and must have been completely fabricated on or be fore January 14, 1942. Also, the pumps and storage tanks must be Installed exclusively for dispensing petroleum pro ducts to machinery and vehicles used directly in farm operations on the individual farm. Legal title to the equipment cannot be held by the supplier of the equipment, and no restric tions, either "oral or written, can be made whereby the use of the equipment is limited to dispens ing the products of any supplier or group of suppliers. BOSTON WOOL BOSTON, Nov. 19 (AP-USDA) With the ' exception of mohair, activity in the Bostol wool mar ket continued very quiet today. The use of mohair for blending in place of wool has created a broad demand. Country prices on adult hair are up five to six cents a pound and kid hair is up over 10 cents a pound. Texas prices on adult hair are now quoted at 45 and 48 cents, with a strong demand at these quota tions. WHEAT QUOTA IMPORTANT The supreme court's decision upholding penalty provisions of wheat marketing quotas is seen as historically Important, not only to agriculture, but to all walks of life. Washington au thorities point out that the de cision clarifies the power of congress to regulate virtually any type of locul, state or na tional industry under the inter state commerce clause. 1943 FERTILIZER SUPPLIES Foreseeing a record demand for commercial fertilizer in 1943, the Department of Agriculture reports that farmers generally will be able to get enough to meet production goals. Biggest pinch will be on nitrogen fert ilizers, which can be offset with legume cover crons, H Y- Ml - if r F, Ml TO CORVALLIS, Nov. 19 OP) Oregon farmers who get through next year's difficulties , success fully while producing at the high rate the nation . requires will need to do a great deal of planning and adjusting, predicts L. R. Brelthaupt, extension agri cultural economist at OSC. Brelthaupt recently returned from the national outlook con ference at Washington, D. C.J and has prepared a report ap plying the national Information to Oregon conditions. Higher Experuas "Although some farm prices are expected to average higher next year than this, price .ceil ings will offset much of the up ward pressure caused by great ly increased demand," said Brelthaupt. "It Is also probably that gross agricultural production will be smaller and farm expenses high er. Growing conditions cannot be expected to be exceptionally favorable two years In succes sion." Best Outlook Some drastic changes are be ing made in transportation and marketing, to which Oregon farmers will need to give more attention in planning farm oper ations in 1943, he believes. Foods of high nutritional value that are not bulky have the best outlook, unless there is a local market demand which will not require too much labor or transportation. Even more fam ilies will likely attempt to grow vegetables and other foods to offset prospective shortages in stores. CONFERENCE SLATED E The annuual December con ference of all extension and ex periment station agricultural and home economics workers at Oregon State college has been abandoned this year because of time, transportation, and hous ing difficulties, William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture, has just announced. In place of the annual confer ence will be four brief district conferences In as many parts of tlje state. All county agents, home demonstration agents, and branch experiment station per sonnel will attend the district conference nearest them, Dean Schoenfeld explained. Places and dates for the district conferenc es, with counties affected, in clude: Klamath Falls, December 14 and 15 Josephine, Jackson, Jef ferson, Lake, Polk, Klamath, Harney, Crook and Deschutes. 1943 GOALS DUE SOON 1943 Food for Freedom pro duction goals for this county will probably be established shortly after announcement of state and national goals around December 1, the county USDA war board reports. The board reminded that hog and' cover crop seed goals have already been announced and emphasized that all of the livestock, dairy' and poultry products that coun ty farmers can produce will be needed in 1943.
