Farm Products Parity Prices Show Increase Parity prices for farm prod ucts were higher at mid-March than a month before, according to the weekly review of farm market, price and outlook infor mation prepared by the OSC ex tension service. The government index of prices paid by farmers, including interest and taxes but not labor, advanced one point to 179 per cent of 1910-1914 Thus, the national parity price of wheat stood at $158, com pared with $1.57 In February and $1.53 in March, 1945. Actual prices received by producers for wheat also averaged $1.58 a bushel on March 15, nationally, although the average for Oregon was somewhat less.

The Increase in winter wheat is expected to more than offset a decrease in spring wheat if weather conditions continue favorable. The decrease in spring wheat is accounted for in Washington as wheat growers in Oregon and Idaho reported intentions to in crease. A decrease in the Pa cific northwest potato acreage was also indicated. Potato plantings intended in the three Pacific northwest states were 14 per cent under last year with most of the de crease in Idaho. The indicated decrease in Oregon was only 2 per cent whereas the suggested goal acreage was 16 per cent decrease. KITCHEN new 1 2-or. bottle Wheat Champion mm Luther F. Givans of Sterling.

Cooperation of public eating establishments in the emergency program to conserve wheat and fats for shipment to famine stricken countries has been pledged by state leaders of their trade associations. Letters urg ing full compliance with the sav ing measures recommended by the 'amine emergency commit tee have been sent to all mem bers by the Oregon Hotel asso ciation and the Oregon Restau rant association. Adoption of the measures will mean no more toast garnishes flanking bacon and eggs, lamb chops and similar dishes; one slice of bread or one roll served with meals; corn and buckwheat cakes instead of wheat cakes; fruit, ice cream and puddings (or dessert instead of pie and cake, and boiled or broiled fish instead of fried fish. Restaurant operators have been advised that OPA require ments will be met by attaching a notice to each menu that the restaurant is cooperating with the famine emergency program ly conserving wheats and fats, and that any patron who objects will be given a regular serving.

Some blight is present in spot, but not bad enough to rause concern unless wet weather prevents control measures. Movement Total shipment tor last week com pared with the week before dropped nearlv a thousand cars from 71JH cars to 617 cars, a dally average of UUO cara. This drop is not surprising however, be cause a quick tapering off from the March peak to lower levels In April is characteristic. Toiiil disappearance In terms of cars shipped In March, was tremendous over 30.000 cars. This la not a new record in terms of cart, out considering heavy loading of cars. P w ably no month has shown n heavier rati movement. Every Important area was down, with the greatest drop In the Red River Valley, which was off 363 can. Maine was next with a drop of 333 cars. Idaho 117 cars less. New crop shipments are due for greater at tention from now on. as they normally reach the same volume as the late movement by mid-May. Total . crop movement to date is only 2MM cars, but Florida Is now moving 30U lo 400 cars or more weekly, and Texa has shipped a total of 87 cars of which cars moved last week. Arizona has showed up with 8 cars and Southern California has moved 201 cars. Demand and Markets Most Important recent market de velopment has been the weakening of the strong Idaho and Maine markets. Maine demand is reported slow to very slow, market weaker in 3 reports out of 6 prices 20 to 23 cents tower than a week ago and 15 to 2A cents under the April ex-ceiling. Idaho demand i slow to almost zero with the market dull and slightlv weaker during week at 20 to 25 cents below week ago and 20 cents under ex-ceillng for very few sales. North Dakota demand Is practically nil, market dull to slightly weaker, prices nominally at support for very few sales. Colorado filed its last report on the ItM.i crop as of March 2R. showing demand verv slow, market dull to about stendy, prices same as last week's report.
