Ross Aubrey, Federal state In spector, told the alfalfa growers that his department would provide for voluntary hay inspection at a reasonable cost to those alfalfa growers, who want to take ad vantage of this method of provid ing a common understanding be tween grower and buyer as to hay quality. It was brought out by Baghott and veteran alfalfa hay growers, that alfalfa hay quality !s either preserved or lost, depending on the type of haying operation used during curing, raking, baling, and handling. Baghott stated that through his agronomy department at the University of California, he would be glad to arrange some haying demonstrations to assist growers in putting up hay of top quality. It , was also brought out, that In the prist, some hay shipped to coastal counties of Oregon in tleht boxcars, had reached their destin ation in poor condition. George Morgan, of the Southern Pacific Railroad, suggested using stock cars' for shipping hay during the summer months in order that the hay would have plenty of ventila tion, thus eliminate "tight boxcar sweating. He also stated that bis railroad wnuM .. nlsning stock cars for this purpose them6 8rowera wlEh 40 request In discussing' freight rates, it was found that rates . from the Tulelake area to coastal points were considerably below freight rates from competing areas, who have in the past furnished con siderable hay to the coastal mar kets; thereiore growers in this area do have considerable advan tage from the' freight standpoint. The alfalfa hay (rowers present at this meeting Indicated a desire to participate in this program and Baghott was asked to arrange tor some alfalfa haying' demonstra tions. Aubrey was asked to pro vide voluntary hay grading in this area; to provide mutual under standing as tn hnv nnnlllv ho. tween grower and buyer, T h e v asked the railroad to be In a po sition to provide stock cars for hay shipments during the summer months and the ga firnwpr's committee to publicize this pro gram In the mnslnl nr.ns ur.H Inril. cated that there would be at least 1,000 acres of alfalfa hay grown for shipment under the above program this year. .

In brief, here arc the five major beef cattle price habits as" deter mined by a analysis ol records since 1870: . " ; Habit No. I: Beef cattle prices reach a high point every 14 to 16 j cam, mia row poinis at similar in tervalsabout midway between the high points. This swing from high to low and back again is known as the cattle price .cycle. Habit NO. 2: Cattle prices tend to decline about half from their high to low points. Average dollar value of cattle at the four peaks 1885, 1889, and 1915 and 1929 was 130.17 per head. Average at the .four low points in 1891, 1905, 1925 and 1934 was $16.04 or 47 per cent less, Average purchasing power de clined from 135 to 68 or 50 per cent during these periods. ' Habit No. 3: Cattle prices are lower than hog prices most of the time, since 1909, cattle prices have been higher than hog prices In 10 years and lower in 33 years. During this period prices received by farm ers have averaged $9.61 per cwt. for cattle and $10.76 for hogs or 12 per cent higher. Habit No. 4: When beef supplies exceed pork supplies beet prices become sharnlv lower. Kin toot there have been four years: . 1910! mm and 1947 when beef sup plies were higher than pork sup- nlles. In those vparR. wr r-anlto supplies were 62 pounds of pork and 68 pounds of beef. Prices of came averaged 10.45 or 33 per cent less than the averse. lis rs nrir of hogs. Habit No. 5: Consumers spend a fixed portion of their income for meat. This has ranged trom b',i to 6Vi per cent regardless of the size of income or the supplies of meat. Habit vs. the Present: Cattle prices began a downtrend cycle in 1952. If the cycle,,iollows previous patterns cattle numbers will In crease from the present 94 million to about 100 million head bv 1956 at which time the supply of beef mar keted will be 20 per cent greater than at nresent. Beef supplies for 1953 are estimated at 11 per cent above pork supplies. YTC Signs Up Entomologist Dr. Julius A.

At the request of the deDartment of Defense, every canner will "set aside" part of his pack of of the state's major food commodities. The quota for each canner is de termined by aU. S. Department of Agriculture formula, ranging from 3 8 to 22.8 per cent of the various Oregon packs for, previous base years, according to Dr. Glenn Cun ningham, research economist for American Can Company. "The important relationship of the state's farmers, canners end can-makers to our national defense Is dramatically Illustrated by this program," the can-making firm's representative said, "Oregon foods packed in Oregon-made cans con tribute materially to making the U. S.. forces the best-fed military units in the world." String beans head the list of the state's vegetables to be channeled to the armed forces with approxi mately 5,208,000 cans slated for de fense use. The largest quota among Beaver State fruits will be Bart lett pears, with 2,36,000 cans.
