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

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.

of Oregon, Washington, and part of

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

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.

ABERDEEN. 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.

scribed frequent light rains and
new snow in lilgli mountain
areas.
Tho bureau renortod onlv n
small amount of spring grain
still unharvcMcd. Some seeding
was begun, the bureau sulci, al
though most of Oregon's wheal-
8 rowing regions were still too
ry for seeding.
Farmhands continued picking
peaches, ncurs and curly nnnles
during tho week. Prune picking
was delayed by rain, but no dam
age has been renortod. Filberts
are beginning to drop.

In eastern and southern Oregon,
however, still need more rain.
The bureau predicted the
opening of the sugar beet harvest
for next week, and reuorted a
delay -In the onion harvest be-
cutisu of poor market and lack of
storage space. A few hops still
remained unpicked.
Potato tops have been killed

OLD TREES FELLED
MALIN Two big poplar trees,
landmarks In the Mnllit commun

picture early this week by a
bulldozer to make clear tho right
of way for the county road that
is being run north and west of
Malln. Locally the road Is known
as Nellie's Lane.
The trees once shaded the
house now owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Jess Whltlatch which a few
months ago was moved back
several feet when it was found
that the new road would cut
through It. They were planted
in 1891 by Tom Dixon who
homestcaded the land In 1689.
Dixon now resides In Bonanm.
Four tree were planted, two
surviving. The original house
also Is on the property and has
