PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON ' 'Aufrtmt 26, 1043 CEILINGS ON Of Cabbages and Queens ALFALFA HAY TOLD B! OPA Several requests coming Into the field office of the OPA In dicate desire for information on alfalfa hay ceiling prices, Clifford Jackson, OPA price specialist, said today. The prices were revised ef fective June 23, and affect only alfalfa hay prices. Mixed grass hayi and grain hays, normally having . a price differential of $4 to S6 per ton under alfalfa prices, are not subject to the ceiling. Following Is a digest of the re vised price regulation: The maximum price loose on the farm' collected and situated ready to load shall be $20. If the hay Is baled the price on the farm shall not exceed $24. If the hay is sold through a coun try shipper to a dealer a $2 per ton maximum mark-up may be taken. If the hay is sold through a country shipper to a retailer or feeder a $3 per ton maximum mark-up may be taken. Freight charges and loading and unloading charges may be added in the amount actually in curred. The dealer may add $1.90 per ton mark-up. The retailer may add mark ups is follows: (I) $5.00 per ton maximum mark up if sold in quantities of two tons or less. (II) $4.50 per ton maximum mark-up if sold in quantities of , more than two tons and not over three tons. (HI) $3.50 per ton maximum mark-up if sold in quantities of more than three tons and not more than five tons. (TV) $3 per ton maximum mark-up if sold in quantities of more than five tons but not over seven tons. Where the retailer sells from off a railroad car, $3 per ton maximum mark-up if sold in quantities of less than railroad carlots. Fanners can get higher prices for their hay if it is inspected by federal inspectors. There are two inspectors in this area, Ross Aubrey and Merle Loosley of Malin, who recently attended a hay graders school at Portland . Hay inspected by either of these men and on which certi ficates are issued designating one of the following grades may ask maximum base prices as listed: i Alfalfa hay: Grade one $22.50. Grade two $20. Grade three, $17. Alfalfa green or leafy: Grade two $21.50. Grade three. $19. Alfalfa extra leafy: Grade one $25.50. Grade two $22. Grade three $20. av.s J Marilyn Olson, left, and Patty Knoll, right, are shown inspecting Marilyn's garden, which Is entered in The Herald and News 4-H club victor y garden contest.

There are several rea sons why farmers will find it both patriotic and to their own advantage to market early. This county, like the rest of the na tion, has a large 1943 pig crop, sharply increased over last year. If all of the hogs go to market at one time, packers won't be able to handle them. Plant capacity is limited by shortage of help and facilities. Hogs sent to market early will spread marketings over a long er period and relieve the pres sure during the peak season later. Also, hogs fed to weights heavier than 200-230 pounds turn more of the feed into fat, less into meat. CATTLE MARKETS North Portland received 2500 head of cattle over the weekend all of which were available local ly on a market where trading was active. Most quotations were unchanged from last week. although some good beef cows sold at prices 25 cents hieher. Good grain fed t steers were scarce, while grass steers rang ed up to as high as $14. The Chicago market was stronger on Monday with good to average choice grades up about 15 cents to the top of $16.75. The condition of Oregon ranges on August 1 was equal to that of July 1 and comtjara- ble to conditions a year ago. Or dinarily ranges show a decline in July, but such was not the case this -year. Although rain fall in July was below normal in most range districts, this soil moisture condition is fairly sat- hot weather and drying winds I and Intermountain has favored the ranges in east ern Oregon. West of the mountains the condition is poorer than it was August 1 a year ago. Ranges throughout other western states are, also in better condition, though those in the southwest and southern Great Plains are relatively poorer. The condition of livestock showed some im provement since July 1, al though neither cattle nor sheep as a whole are up to the long time average. In western Oregon the condi tion of sheep is somewhat poor er than in the eastern part of the state . In other western states cattle were in good con dition on August 1, except in the southwest and Oklahoma. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS An active market prevailed in the sheep and lamb sections at North Portland Monday, when 1850 head were offered locally. Good to choice spring lambs brought mostly $11.50 to $11.75 with an extreme top of $12. Feeders were mostly $9 to $10 with a few at $10.50. Advance contract buying has continued slow in the western states the last few weeks. Con tinued expansion in the supply of range lambs' has depressed the general price level at mid west markets. Movement of lambs from the Pacific coast area has 1 been speeded up as ranges have dried. Latest reports from Idaho are of several sales of mixed fat and feeders on a basic of $12.75 to $13.25. One lot of black- faced Iambs, running at about 63 per cent fat sold at $13.50 Supplies of Oregon lambs in California markets have drop- pea on recently. -HOG MARKETS Hog prices continued to rise at North Portland Monday when 2000 head were offered locally. A few selected lots sold up to $16.25 or about 50 cents higher than a week ago. A few lots of choice light feed er pigs moved at $16 to $17. Trading at Chicago was ac tive, with prices up as much as 13 cents to a top of $14.35 for choice light weight sows. Marketings of hogs are ap proaching the seasonal low which in face of strong demand keeps prices firm. Marketings of hogs in the midwest, al though down somewhat, are running much heavier than a year ago. WOOL MARKETS The Boston wool market re ported a quiet condition exist ing for both domestic and for eign grease wools this past week. Holders of domestic French combing and clothing wools showed some uneasiness. No Oregon wools were re ported among appraisals for 4-H VICTORY GARDENS NOW BEING JUDGED Judging is now taking place In The Herald and News 4-H club garden contest to deter mine this year's Victory garden king or queen.
