Butter suDolies remained critically short throughout the country during i the week ending December 38, with pro duction declining to new lows. Markets were extremely firm for all products. Creamery butter production was 27 oer cent less than a year axo for the week ending December 20. Icy roads and snow delayed deliveries of cream in some sections while a heavy diversion of cream tr- ither purposes was gen rally reported. Cheese supplies were alio far short of the active demand and cheese markets remained extremely firm. American cheese Production durins? the week end ing December 30 was 13 per Cent under mv same wk iosi year, wun prouue tlon lower in all areas exceot Wisconsin. where cheese production was reported aooui in same as a year ago. Milk and cream mantets were in tensely firm with the heavy demands only partially satisfied. The canned milk markets were firm with suodIIcs tighter. Prices were at full ceilings In all areas. Exporters report a Targe oacKiog ox umiuea oracrs. Supplies of dry milk were far short of the strong demand. Production was at a low Doint with reserves lacklnsr. Because of necessity, distribution was mostly in less than carlo la. Grain markets during the week ending December 38 reflected a tight supply situation, as year-end reviews revealed heavy grain marketings at near celling prices most oi ine season. The Portland trade area received some barley from southern Idaho the past week, but too little to relieve the short age. Some oats were available from the mlddlewest at ceiling prices there plus freight which made a delivered price of 960 a ton at Portland, with few takers. Small sales of Canadian oats were also reported. Grain prices were at celling levels at For BIGGER and BETTER Maximum egg production . . at lower cost.

TRIANGLE X-TRA EGG PRODUCER 0 The truth about "take-home" The demand of UAW-CIO leaders for a wage increase to "maintain wartime take-home" assumes that the wartime work week 'averaged 48 hours. That it not true. In General Motors workers averaged 45.6 hours work a week. For industry as a whole the average was a little less. The demand of UAW-CIO leaders also assumes that the postwar work week will be 40 hours. General Motors expects to work 45 to 48 hours for a considerable period of time in order to pro duce enough goods to relieve shortages created during the war. Employes will be paid at the rat of time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40. General Motors answered the JUAW demand for a 30 jump in present rates with the offer of a wage increase that would have averaged 13V cents an hour. This would have made the average wage . increase ince January 1941 at least equal to the increase in the cost of living. A GM worker who earned $56.93 for a 45.6-hour week during the war would have received $63.44, under the GM postwar offer, for working the same number of hours. This offer, aimed to increase wartime take-home pay by at least 10, was rejected by UAW leaders. WHY?

Research Project v The research project planned by the college will bo financed over a three-year period by the new grant. Attempt win nc made to find the cause and con trol of poor hatchabillty that is a serious handicap to Oregon's turicey breeding industry. Turkey breeders generally do not obtain more than about a SO per cent hatch, partly be cause of poor fertility, possibly arising from difficult mating.
