The picture Is finite different, however, when farm wage rntes are considered In ad dition to commodities farmers buy, taxes, and interest. The national Index ahows farm wages 200 per cent higher than the 1033-1 030 average, while the figures for Oregon Indlcato 325 per cent above that average. In sharp contrast, the national Index of prices paid Vf farmers for commoditlea, In tereat, and taxca Is only 35 per cent above the 1935-1039 level. Higher Rates As of July 1, farm wage rotes In Oregon and generally through out the nation were 10 per cent higher than a year ago. The national average increase in the index of pricoa paid for com moditlea, Interest, and taxes was only about 2 per cent over a year ago, The combination of wage rates and other costs practically offsets the average advonce of 7 per cent above a year ago in the general level of prices re ceived by farmers.
