SALT-TREATED POST Posts In' the experimental post farm at Oregon State col ilege that were treated with the i go-called salt treatment before eettins have completed 18 years without a single failure, accord acing to the latest progress report "issued on this project as engi gneering experiment station bul r Jetin 9-E. This is not- an agri- cultural bulletin but copies may be had free by writing direct io the engineering experiment v: station at Corvallis-. . None of the 75 Douglas fir posts set in January 1928 after being given the salt treatment lias failed, nor have any of the 35 lodge pole pine posts treated, - and set in 1938 failed, although most of the untreated lodge pole posts set at the same time have totted off, whether set green or dead. The bulletin also chows the life of posts of other species. The salt treatment is not new in Oregon though it has not ,-oeen generaiiy used, says T. J. .''Starker, professor of forestry on leave, who has been In active 'charge of the project. Posts re treated while green with a tablespoon of a mixture made up of equal parts of corrosive sub limate, arsenic and common sit A three-fourths inch hole is bored in the post about six incnes a Dove the ground line, slanting downward. After the mixture is inserted the hole is plugged io prevent possible poisoning of stock. If posts man incnes are used, two holes are recommended, with a proportionate increase in amount oi material used. Nurserymen Want Quarantine Kept tytlTLAND, Sept. 21 (7P) Maintenance of quarantine laws of 1912 and 1937 in the immedi ate postwar period will be urged by the American Association of Nurserymen, Dick White, secre tary, or wasnington U. C, said here yesterday. Many nurserymen expect an effort on the part of business pnd financial interests to have the quarantine barriers broken down on the ground. It would lid rehabilitation of war ravaged European countries, he s a i d. those countries shipped many i horticultural products here in the past, he explained. " Engine water will probably not be used to heat the postwar Motor coach. This system will be replaced by new air condition ing. toriYouEat without Worry?

Weekly Market Trend (Editor's Note: The foUowins market information Is supplied irom material obtained over the government leased wire in the office of the extension economist at Oregon State college. The material, in tne form ot a weekly sum mary of trends ,' the livestock market, is not Intended to replace spot day by day market report.) As In other recent weeks, arrivals of livestock at North Portland for Monday. September 18, trade was mooerately heavy. Cattle totaled 2500 head, calves 450, hogs 1800. and lambs 1850. Carry overs from the previous week amounted to 150 head af cattle, 50 calves, and 1615 sheep and lambs. CATTLE MABKETS while fresh arrivals of cattle at North Portland Monday were a little less than week earlier, tne holdovers from tne previous week made the total supply about the same. Average quality of offerings was less desirable and the market rather uneven. Cows moved fairly well at steady prices. $8 to $10 for medium to good beef cows, young cows up .to $10.75. Steers and heifers on tne- omer nana, were slow sale. Good grass steers were held for $14.73. Country contracting and buying of cattle in the west has been limited this fall.' Most of the demand has -been for heavy steers reauirlnc little or no additional finish. Cattle feeding operations In the Corn Belt during the past few months have been on a reduced scale, and in-ship-ments of feeders as well as the attitude of feeder buyers have reflected the un certainty of feed-lot operators regard ing the corn supply, which now looks favorable. With fewer than usual numbers of fed cattle available for market, the position of such kinds has been strong and prices high in relation to the liberal supply of medium and lower qualities. The next few weeks will be an Im portant marketing period for the west ern range livestock man and much will depend on the midwest feed-lot oper ator's reaction to the Improvement in corn prospects. cattle on western ranires nrw mrnilv in good to very good condition, except in a lew cry areas. Pacific Coast states of Oregon, Washington, and part of California report cattle on the decline with condition on September 1 below that of a year previous. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS The lamb market at Nndh Tnritanrf Monday was uneven. Offerings were neavy consisting of 1850 new arrivals and 1615 holdovers. Good to choice lambs were steady at $12 to $12.50, but unci HiaucB were nara io move. Direct and contract buying In the west continues light Trading In Mon tana and Wyoming subsided the week ending September 16 and remained dormant in Utah and Colorado. A few deals were closed in Oregon on a basis of $10.50 to si 1.00 straight across. HOG MARKETS Trading in hogs was active with prices firmly at the ceiling of $15.75 for good and choice 180 to 240 pound clauses. Other classes were in proportion. -The WFA announced Inte last w?ek that ceiling prices on Ifve hogs will not be reduced frm present levels prior tn June SO, 1945, Ceiling prices are $14.73 pfr poimnn, imcago oasis, lor nogs 240 pounds or less and $14 per IO0 pounds.

KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON 0. S. FIIIS r An analysis by L. R. Brelt haupt. extension agricultural economist at OSC, of prelimin ary olficiul estimates of 10-14 farm production, indicates tha greatest total volumo of crop and animal products ever pro. duccd in the United Stales de spite the reduction in agricul tural workers engaged, rno pre liminary estimate is 132 per cent of the l!Kt5-19:ip avcrago output of crop and animal pro ducts, compared with 120 per cent in 19-13 and 124 per cent tn 1942. Praising farmers for the high war-time production accom plished despite many handicaps and difficulties, the war food lulmimstrution is now taking some steps to bring some of the surplus into channels of use Io avoid unnecessary uccumulHllon nd waste after the war ends. One such step Is tho removal of most processed foods from the ration list. The total volumo of animal products is expected to reach 139 per cent of the 1935-1939 level this year, with meat ani mal products up to 1SS per cent, poultry and poultry pro ducts at 150 per cent and dairy products 113 per cent. Greatest expansion has been in oil-bearing crops like soy beans, peanuts, and 1 flaxseed. estimated at 200 per cent of the pre-war average, but somewhat less than in 1943 and 1942. Grain production for human food is expected to bo 156 per cent of the 1935-1939 average, feed grains and hay 130, truck crops 143 per cent, fruits and nuts 117, and sugar crops 83. The increase in output has been accomplished despite ris ing costs for farm operation while farm prices generally have remained about unchanged compared with a year ogo. Thus, the exchange value of farm products declined several points although still relatively high compared with the pre war situation. Oregon's general' farm price index at 174 per cent of the 1935-1939 level at mid-August was slightly lower than a year ago, although farm prices in the whole country were about un changed compared with August 1943. Increases during the year for grains, hay, dairy products, and some other items were about offset by lower prices for meat animals and eggs, with truck crops as a whole about tne same as a year ago. Farmers are also nraised and complimented for. buying war Donas ana paying off debts in stead of going deeply into debt as during and after World War 1. During the four-year period 1940 to 1943, Oregon's (arm mortgage debt was reduced 10.2 per cent, down to 12.2 per cent of the value of all .farms. The average reduction for all states was 14.4 per cent, down to 12.4 per cent of the value of all farms. Bonanza Mrs. Irene Bechdoldt re turned.

Idaho, Sept. 21 (iP) Results of artificial "frost ing" tests on Idaho potato vines "show considerable promise," research experts of tho Uni versity of Idaho branch experi ment station here reported to day. Using ' bqth airplanes - and ground spraying equipment, workers have given experiment station potato vines their first touch of winter with a series of dusts and sprays which kill the vines and mature the tubers for the early market. Normally potatoes require a killing frost, then take 10 days in theg round to mature before harvesting. If a severe freeze should occur before the potatoes are dug and after the initial killing frost the tubers suffer extensive damage. By using artificial frost, grow ers may be more certain of maturity before the hard freeze and thus dig their spuds early to take advantage of early market prices and harvest labor. Merrill Booster night In tho Merrill grange originally scheduled for Monday, September 25, has been postponed until Friday night, September 29. Mrs. John W.
