Policies of the federation were expressed In resolutions approved by voting delegates yesterday at the clone of the group's 33rd an nual convention. More than 1000 larm men and women attended the live-day meeting. The resolutions dealt with prob lems of national and International importance, ranging from United Natlona to rural life. The delegatea expressed their vlewa on foreign policy, long-range tax policies, ci vilian military training, and eco nomic policies to be followed dur ing a mobilization period. The federation, which saya It represents nearly 1,500.000 (Ml larm lamlllea In 40 states and Puerto Klco, said II favored "the maintenance of the present price support frnturca of the agriculture act of 1048 which are designed to provide protection agulnat extreme price declines without going to the opposite extreme of government price fixing." HI'I'POKTH i The resolution sdded. "We do not believe thul action to raise the level of price support above thut now provided In the agriculture act of 18'JU Is In the long-run In terest of larm people." On economic policies during the defense build-up period, the feder ation opposed "unnecessary gov ernment controls." but approved allocations and priorities for scarce materials. "Government spending must be paid for. either by tuxes or bv In lladon." a resoludon said. "We ally ROTC programs ba expanded. The group aaid that "considering the great difficulties" It believed that "commendable achievements bave been made by the United Na tlona. Another resolution aald the United States should help "main tain freedom tor those who have It and regain It for those who have lost It." Allan B.

That's question to be answered In March at the state agricultural conference scheduled for the Ore gon BUte college campus. Mean while, a committee headed by Oeorge Petersen, Eugene, Is pre paring a report to present to those who attend the statewide confer ence. Recommendations for curtailing, a status quo, or increases In var ious Industry phases will be the meat of the committee's findings. Thus far, they have found that Oregon'a laying hen population has remained approximately static for I the past quarter-century at num bers ranging from three to three and one-half million birds. Prior to 1940, the state was on an egg exporting basis, shipping 15 to 20 percent of the total production to markets as far afield as the east ern seaboard. Today, the picture Is s complete turn-about. The recent 40 percent population hike has now put the state on an egg deficit basis sp it has been pointed out thst the Oregon turkey Industry and that of Ihe Pacific coast generally Is producing about 50 percent more market birds than are being eaten locally. High cost of feed, advanc ing freight rates and high priced labor in relation to other produc ing aress Is tending to result In a competitive disadvantage (or local producers. On the brighter aide, the aver age breeder hen ln the United States last year produced 13 poults while this state's sverage was 25 poults per bird. The conference Is planned to re view the situation of 11 basic farm commodities and to make recom mendations for the future course of each.
