TEN HERALD AND NEWS Thursday. May 31, 1845 DISASTER IN F, ARM BUYING UGHEASE SEEN By JOY MILLER " KANSAS CITY, May 31 (P) Those lush.: farm profits are leading many a dirt farmer down a one-way path ' to the foreclosure wringer, just as they did in 1918. That is the considered opin ion of I. W. Duggan, governor of the farm credit administration, who warns that a national dis aster is coming unless the bal looning price of farm land can be curbed. Here's the picture he paints: Farm land prices are soaring at an even faster clip than they did during the last world war. This despite the fact that E rices of farm products are far elow the $2.50 wheat era of 1918, when it looked as if there was a good chance to pay in terest, taxes, and hack off a chunk of the mortgage principal at the end of the year. Trouble was, the price didn't stay up and the small land own er who had hocked everything he had to make a down payment on an adjoining farm, found the pinch too tight 10 years later when he had to meet his notes from the sale of two-bit wheat. Over the entire United States, he said, there has been a S3 per cent jump in farm land prices from the 1935-39 level. In Ken tucky and South Carolina sale prices have doubled and in 18 other states the figure has risen 60 per cent. In the Pacific coastal area 24 per cent of the farms sold in late 1944 had been held less than two years. WPB Opens Potline At Alcoa Plant TROUTDALE, Ore., May 31 UP) A potline at the Aluminum Company of America plant shut down Dy tne war production board last September was re opened today. Three lines are now in opera tion, but Works Manager George R. Stout said the crews were- 240 men short . Until the three lines are fully manned, a fourth line ordered back into production a month ago cannot be operated, ne said. laJVote! By Phyllis Beardiloy" When is a mistake not a mistake? I don't know, but I made the happy discovery that this little twelve inches is read, And that might be the answer,- a mistake is not a mistake if it gets attention. Now - we . are wondering what will happen, will the MILK MASH (chicken feed) advertised as good for- cows, help them to lay eggs, - or will the chickens get ideas and start to give milk? And why, when we are quite sure the. farmers don't eat either one, did they get such a kick out of my mis take! - One thing Is sure, though, whether you feed MILK MASH or DAIRY RATION or CHICKEN SCRATCH or TURKEY STARTER, ALL CO-OP FEEDS ARE GOOD! The certified - seed potato growers and all others inter ested In potato production will be welcome to attend an "open house" to be held by the O.S.C. experiment station at Corvallis, Monday, June 18, starting at 10. There will be 185 seed lots representing eight var ieties grown in 12 different counties. Thirty Klamath growers will be represented. The 200 new members who have formed the Lake Coun ty Cooperative announce that they will take over the management of the Weekly Bros, plant on June 1. Homer D. Smith will be the new manager. The Oregon Ad Club (Port land Organization with com munity committees in most of Oregon's larger towns) has said that I might bo their representative at the Pacific Advertising Association Con ference in San Jose, so no' "Milk-Mash - for-Cows-Ad" next week. .

All mem bers arc asked to come to this meeting. T E Oregon support prices for 1945 late-crop potatoes as an nounced by the war food admin istration are the same as those of 1944, according to. a report from the state AAA committee. The Oregon schedule of basic support prices for U. S. No. 1 grade potatoes is as follows: Malheur, Baker, Union and Wallowa counties July and August, $1.75 a hundred pounds; September, $1.85; October, $1.90; November, $2; December, $2.10. For all other Oregon counties, the support price is 20 cents a hundred higher than these prices. Loans again will be the prin cipal means of price support. Loans will be offered by com modity credit corporation through county AAA committees to growers, associations of grow ers, and to dealers who pay not less than the support prices. Appropriate differentials from the basic prices are provided for U. S. commercial grade, U. S. No. 1 grade, size B, and for U. S. No. 2 grade, 11 inches minimum. Returns to participating growers will be less than the basic prices by amounts rem-esentine the value of marketing services not actually pertormed by the bor rowers. Growers will be re. quired to offer for loan all mar ketable potatoes in a given lot, hence lots where the top grade of potatoes has been sorted out and sold would not be eligible. Weekly Market Trend (Editor1 Note; The following; market information 1 supplied from material obtained over the government leased wire In the office of the extension economist at Oregon State college. The material, in the form of a weekly sum mary of trends in the livestock market, is not intended to replace day by day market re ports.) The livestock market was m rally ac tive on Monday, May 28, with prices icaay 10 strong. CATTLE MARKETS - Offerings In the cattle division at North Portland totaled 1000 head. A few loads of good to choice- fed steers -went to the record high of $18.00. Me dium to good heifers were $13.00 to $16.00 and. the same grades of beef cows 11.00 to 113.00.. At San Francisco trad ing was a little slow with supplies con- iaun mosity 01 meamm grass steers to sell at 14.50. Chicago reported the cug on me steer iraae out still ac tive and steady at a top of $17.85. LAMB MARKETS The salable SUnnlv of lnmh at ItfArlK Portland was down to 000 head com- parea wnn lew a week earlier. De mand was active and good choice spring lambs brought mostly $13.75. Top grades of wooled old crop lambs were up to $14.25 and shorn lambs $13.23. Good shorn ewes were $6,75. The supply at rraiiciscw jumped 10 awu neaa. iraaing was siow. WOOL MARKETS Demand for domestic wools was less active me past wees ana some oper ators described the market as snotty. There was, however, a more or less steady call for high half-blood wools from the territory states. Supplies of fleece wools, of the same grade have wurea irceiy. Graded high half-blood wools from the northwest were in demand at full ceiling prices of $1.16 to $1.18, clean basis. A limited buying of fine graded French combing 64s was reported at $1.21. clean basis. Idaho graded staple wools were appraised in Boston at the following grease prices: half-blood shrinking 53 per cent S3.5 cents, three eighths with a shrinkage of 52 per cent 51.8 cents, and quarter-blood shrinking 47 per cent at 51.9 cents. CARE NEEDED HANDLING AMERICA'S WASH WORD 9 INSECT BAIT Now that the insect season is at hand, it's well worth while to take a few minutes to con sider the various materials used in insect control. In general, most of these materials arc m o Ke or less poisonous, and some containing arscnienls, flu orine compounds and nicotine compounds are highly danger ous to human beings and farm animals, as well as insects. All insecticides should be properly . labeled and carefully put away, and any utensil that comes in contact with this ma terial should be thoroughly cleaned. Poison material of this nature should never be kept anywhere near food supplies. Sodium fluoride has been mis taken for baking powder, with highly fatal results. It is best to keep such mate rials in tight containers, prefer ably under lock and key. Never leave prepared baits, sprays or other insecticides where chil dren or farm animals can get at them. Where some of these materials are used in the dust form, every care should be taken to keep this dust out of the eyes and mouth. In spray ing, all parts of the body should be covered with cloth ing, as contact with the flesh will frequently cause painful and dangerous sores. Finally, see that no material is left out in the field where livestock can get to it. On sev e r a 1 occasions carelessness of this kind has resulted in the loss of livestock. It should al ways be kept in mind that most of these materials are deadly. Poison labels and precautions should be thoroughly studied in order to prevent serious loss. Potato Men Invited To OSC Open House Certified seed p&tato growers and others interested in potato production will be welcome to attend an "open house" to be held bv the OSC experiment sta tion and extension service at Corvallis, Monday, June 18, starting at 10 oclocK. Visitors at that time can join in the study of sample plots that have been grown from 165 seed lots representing eight varieties grown in li ditterent counties.

Intermediate Advanced ' ' Starting June 4th ; . For Information . Call 4558 Army Officer Describes Need For Light Horses Col. F. W. Koestcr of the army quartermaster corps, has written a letter to the county agent's of fice showing a grent need of light horses. Col. Koestcr states, There is a shortaxe right now of light type riding horses, gentle, trained and ready for use. Therefore horses to meet post VJ requirements must bo pro duced now." He points out that available young horses should be broken and trained and that marcs of this tvuo should be bred immedi ately in order to produce at the earliest possible moment. "l no return or racing to coun ty and state fairs, rodeos, horse snows, endurance and trail rides, hunter trials, polo and reopening of many national and state parks," states Koestcr, "will re quire a largo number of horses." The colonel anticipates that the demand will be better tlmn ever and that prices will bo high. His advice Is (1) that every avail able mure be bred now, (2) that nil available colts bo registered and (3)' a start should bo miido to get young horses or colls broken as quickly us possible. This information should be of interest to tho breeders through out the Klamath basin. NARROW ESCAPE Marino PFC Roynl F.

The present situation, it was reported, emphasizes the import ance of fall and early winter gardens, which have been some what neglected in the past by many victory gardeners. He ex plains that the greatest value probably comes out of these later gardens which produce vege tables in the fall and early win ter when prices are the highest at stores for fresh vegetables. Such crops as beets, all mem bers of the cabbage family in cluding broccoli, brusscls sprouts, kale and kohlrabi, beans, celeriac, lettuce, green onions, chard, parsnips, late po tatoes, squash, pumpkin, rad ishes, salsify and turnips may still be planted, according to Bouquet. ducted, by Dr. J.
