With ideal weather for harvest
ing laic crops, Oregon farmers
made rapid progress during the
past week, the weather bureau
reported today.
The weekly crop-weather sur
vey cut to a third lis former
size as tho season draws to a
close reported squash, pump
kins and cucumbers ripening and
vines turning yellow.
Large quantities of sweet corn,
excellent quality, reached can
neries, and silage corn was being
put up. Digging of potatoes and
sugar beets as well as the onion
and flower bulb harvest is well
along.
Workers were gathering fil
berts and a few walnuts, though
the bulk of the latter crop has
not yet matured.
The week was generally dry,
with Oregon mercuries averag
ing 3 to 5 degrees above normal.
Soil dryness prevented much
wheat seeding or fall plowing.
Pastures were also drying rapid
ly and In need of rain. Live
stock, however, remained in
good condition generally. Cat
tle and sheep were being moved
to winter pastures.
FSAWIAY MAKE
LOANS TO MEN :

World War II with farm back-
ground and experience qualify
ing them to operate a farm are
eligible. Civilian owners and
operators of inadequate farms,
and farm tenants .may apply.
Preference will be given those
veterans and farmers who are
married and have dependents.
It is necessary that you already
own suinclcnt stock and ma
chinery to equip a farm on a
going, paying basis, or that you
have sufficient money available
to make the necessary purchases
to adequately equip a farm. You
must be a farmer, and must have
been successful enough to own
or be able to purchase your
stock and equipment.

three per cent Interest on the un
paid balance.
IW WEEDKILLER
E
The new weedkiller known as
2-4-D differs from other chemi
cals used for the purpose in sev
eral ways. It belongs to the
group of chemical substances
that have come to be recognized
in recent years as "plant growth
regulating substances, accord
ing to Dr. John W. Michell of the
U. b. department of agriculture,
When sprayed on certain plants
this chemical affects the whole
plant, rather than merely the
parts sprayed as is true of some
other weedkillers. Finally, and
of great practical importance, is
the fact that it affects some
groups of plants powerfully, and
has little effect on other groups.
The continent of Asia has
great uninhabited areas, yet it
contains about one-half of the
earth s people.

EGG PRICES
P AROUND
3 PER CENT
The Index of poultry and egg
prices, as reported by the crop
reporting service, declined
around 3 per cent during the
month ending September 15.
However, at 201 per cent of the
1910-1914 average, this index is
12 per cent above a year previ
ous. The feed-egg relationship was
less favorable to producers dur
ing the month of September than
in August, with a decline report
ed in egg prices and an advance
in feeding costs. The price-cost
situation for poultry was more
favorable than for eggs. Egg
prices were at 98 per cent of
parity while live chickens were
139 per cent of parity. Turkey
prices were around 134 per cent
oi parity at mid-September.
Markets Steady
Egg markets throughout the
nation were generally steady to
firm during the past week, es
pecially on top quality fresh
eggs. Pacific coast prices were
mostly unchanged on grade A
eggs but large grade B showed
an upward tendency. Small eggs
were in more liberal supply with
demand slow but dealers al
lowed accumulations rather
than reduce prices. Large AA
eggs sold to retailers at Portland
for 59 cents and large A's were
57 cents. Grade A mediums
were 52 and smalls 43 cents a
dozen.
Poultry markets on the Pacific
coast showed an easier tendency
during the past week under more
liberal offerings.
At Portland, offerings of all
classes of poultry were liberal
with paying prices to producers
listed at 28 cents for broilers:
fryers and roasters 28 to 29
cents; colored hens 24 and Leg
horn hens 22 cents; and old
roosters 15 to 16 cents. ; Paying
