Farm Value Reaches Peak OREGON STATE COLLEGE Oregon farm land values have risen steadily tor four years and now stand at the highest level on record, reports Mrs. Elvera Hor rell, extension agricultural econo mist at Oregon State College. Values of farm land in the state rose two per cent this fall and now average five per cent above a year ago, Mrs. Horrell said. This is 50 per cent ioove the 1947-49 post war average. Oregon failed to keep pace with farm land values over the nation, however, Mrs. Horrell found as she studied reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Na tional farm land values rose an average of three per ce.it this fall. Most of the national gain was centered along the Atlantic Coast, the USDA reports indicated, where cities continue to crowd into rural areas. Florida led all states in rate of increase with an average gain in farm land values of five per ce.it this fall. Thrae states New York, Mok It Worth Your While BIG Y MARKET fh.

" Real estate observers reporting to the USDA this fall generally agreed there are now fewer farms but more farmland buyers on the market than ever before, Mrs. Hor rell said. This situation a gener ally strong demand a'.td a limited supply has been characteristic of the land market for several years, she added. Demand for farm land may have been even more pronounced this fall, it was also reported by the observers. This, coupled with the recent upturn in the general. econo my that revived concern about further inflation, has helped pull farm land prices upward, Mrs. Horrell felt. As to what's ahead, outlook econ omists expect market prices of farm real estate to continue to climb, Mrs. Horrell reported. How ever, the economists feel the up ward push may slow down later, especially in the last half of 1959 if farm income sags. CAVEMAN 'M'JZAK' MER1DEN, Conn. (UPD There is nothing modern about music to work by, according to an official of Business Music! Inc. Joseph Walthier said music to reduce boredom and increase efficiency has been used "as far back as we can go in history." He added: "Even the caveman when he broke one stone against another often grunted. This, in a very crude form, was early work music. It was rhythm and it helped him to get a little more strength for suc cessive blows on the rock." -0r: FOGARTY STATE PARK is only one of the many constructed along the Oregon coastline where tourists may pause to enjoy the sandy beach and the sheltering shade of the soar ing firs.

HENDERStoN Producers who are - marketing lambs this fall should obtain and save adequate records of their sales in order that they can make proper application for payment un der the wool incentive program, Mr. Wilson, chairman, Klamath County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. Sales records of lamb producers selling lambs this fall must in clude the name of the buyer,' his signature, and the number of live weight lambs sold,- with the- de scription "unshorn"' showing. Pay ments are made only on iambs that have never been shorn. Wilson says, "get these fall sales records together now and keep them at home in a safe place or file them with the County AbC office. The final date to apply for payments in 1958-59 marketings is April 30, 1959. Producers may sub mit payment applications to our county ASC office any time be tween now and then. The chairman warned again that lamb feeders, particularly, should keep accurate records of the length of time they have owned a spe cific lot of lambs.'Lamb payments BILL EXTINGUISHED ALBANY, N.Y.

INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS are made only to producers who have owned lambs 30 days. These factors are important because un der the Wool Act payment is based on the weight gain of the lambs . during ownership of the seller. If you have farm-stored grain under a price support loan, now is a good time to give the grain and the storage building a thorough inspection, according to the chair man of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Wilson pointed out that in the rush of fall work some farmers may not have had time to make inspection of their grain storage structures. An inspection now is particularly important since the owner is responsible for the qual ity and number of bushels of gram put under price support. With that responsibility in mind, Wilson rec ommends checking roofs and walls of buildings in which grain is stored. If small openings permit birds and mice to gain access to the grain, substantial damage will result. Although insects in grain are usually not active during the win ter, the chairman suggests that samples be taken and checked for insects. If insects are present, fumigation is recommended. A person who buys or sells farm land for which an acreage allot ment has been established has the responsibility of notifying his coun ty Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee of the change, according to Charles Street, of the Klamath County ASC Office. Until a request is filed by an in terested producer, the county committee is not in position to make the combination or division of allotments which may be re quired. Street urged that lawyers or real estate agents handling the sale or purchase of farm land become familiar with the regulations on allotments before advising their cli ent or completing any transaction.
