Carkin Knve the Idaho Power company per mlaalon WcdneMlay to lwue 10.000.- 000 worth of firm mortnatte bonds PHILADELPHIA, May 6 171 Secretary of Agriculture Anderaon aald Wedneaday that farm price probably will decline a third In the next few yeara even under favor able conditions. He aald they itill would be at a fair level after uc:h a decline. If conditions are unfavorable, he aald, farmers might experience at worat a repetition of 1620-21 when farm prices dropped 60 per cent In 12 months. "However, we do not need to go through the wringer again." the cabinet officer said. "We must maintain both domestic and for eign policies that will prevent It." Anderson gave his price prospect views in a talk prepared for de livery at the University of Penn sylvania. He said three things are needed to prevent another farm depres sion. World economic recovery, domes tic farm programs, and an active domestic Industry maintaining a high level of food consumption. Anderson said there already are some unfavorable signs In agricul ture. He listed them as an upward trend in farm debts, threats of surpluses in the present high level of production, a recent downward trend in buying power of farm products, and an abnormal pattern of production based on wartime demands. 4-H Trip The four top Oregon 4-H elub youtha will get a trip to Washing ton, I). ,'., to attend the national 4-11 elub camp June 18 to 23.
