a meeting in Tulelake, arranged
by the Tulelake Growers Assocl-

Bui: Powell, Chairman of this
Committee, in nnpnlnir tl,a .mba.
lng, stated that his committee had
become interested . In a hay im
provement and marketng project
after a survey of the coast area
; indicated that there was a ready
i.imaei lor iop quality alfalfa hay,
but that there was some objection
on jne pan or stockmen to hay
grown in me Tulelake Basin, be

shipments of poor quality hay in
wis aica.
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

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.

Beef To Continue As Good
Buy For Housewives For
Next Two Or Three Years
be a good buy for housewives for
the npxt tvon nr thrno vanro bnmwL
ing to National Live Stock Producer,
jiniericn N iRHmr.ir iivn KM man-
azlnb, which discusses the five ma
jor naDiis 01 oeei cattle prices in
the July issue.
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.

Oregon growers and canrers will
put their collective shoulders to
the- wheel of the nation's defense
program again this year by supply
ing an estimated 12,504,000 cans of
fruits and vegetables for use bv
the armed forces.
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. Oth
er Oregon set-aside requirements
estimated, by Dr. Cunningham In
clude green peas, 1,992,000 cans;
sweet corn, 984,000 cans: blackber
ries, 792,000 cans; carrots, 768,000
cans; oherries, 563,000 cans; and
peaches, 12,000 cans. -

a sul Helen t supply of good Quality

that good quality of lots of locally
