Silver Lining Seen
In 1961 Agriculture
By Bank Executive
- By RUTH KING
Paul F, Matson, president of
the Federal Intermediate Credit
Bank of Spokane, Saturday saw a
silver lining for agriculture's 1961
outlook but warned that credit
cannot be substituted for income
if farmers are to weather the era
of narrow profits.
Matson spoke to the largest
gathering of stockholders and
guests to be present for an annual
meeting of the Klamath Produc
tion Credit Association. More than
500 persons from Lake, Siskiyou,
Modoc and Klamath counties were
present in the Klamath Auditori
um for the 27th annual report
session and smorgasbord.
An increased demand for food
and fiber, coupled with an increas
ing population, constitutes a bright
spot in the outlook for agricul
ture, the credit official said.
But he cited economic factors
that indicated little more than a
token improvement can be anti
cipated in the price-cost squeeze
except for the continuing heavy
demand for agricultural products
resulting from increasing consum
er income and purchasing power.
He told the group that the net
farm income in 1961 is expected
to continue at about the same lev
el as in 1960 unless adversities
strike during the growing season.
Some increased marketings, he
said, could offset price declines
in crop and livestock products in
an over-abundant supply.
The Spokane banker anticipated
that crop prices will continue fair
ly stable in 1961, that the rate of
increase in cattle and hog market
ing toward the end of the year
will probably establish the year's
price, but offered little prospect
of market and price improvement

Air Crash
Kills Nine
HONOLULU (UPI) A Naw
radar plane with 22 men aboard
veered off the runway on Midway
Island Sunday and smashed into
a ground crew truck, touching off
a fire which consumed the plane.
Nine men, including three of the
crewmen on the fire truck, were
killed or missing, the Navy said.
Sixteen of the men aboard the
plane escaped unhurt or with
minor injuries. '
A preliminary investiga
tion showed that the 70-ton four-
engine Constellation apparently
landed short of the runway and
sheared off a landing gear, which
struck two engines on the left
wing.
The wing was sheared off as it
hit the runway, causing the plane
to veer to the left. One thousand
feet down the runway, it smashed
into the fire truck which was in
a routine position for an aircraft
landing.
The Navy said the huge radar
plane flipped onto its back and
burst into flames.
The plane was returning from
an 11-hour flight along the Pa
cific air defense barrier between
Midway and the Aleutian Islands.
