1IAY FOR YEAR BOOSTED BY
C AR R YO V E R OF 1938 CROP
Although Oregon crop prospects
have been materially improved by
the timely rains late in May, condi­
tions of crops, ranges and pastures
in the country as a whole are some­
what below average, according to
the latest information contained in
the current agricultural situation
and outlook report just issued by
the Oregon State college extension
service.
Hay supplies this year will be un-
usually high despite the fact that
the current crop is slightly below
last year in condition. A near rec-
ord carryover as o f May 1 amounted
to about 16 million tons, the largest
since 1921.
Milk production throughout the
nation was still at record heights
on May 1 for that date as farmers
were milking an unusally large pro-
portion of their cows.
Egg production also was high on
May 1—about 5 per cent greater
than a year previous. A 5 per cent
increase in number of hens and
. . . *-------------------
also noted, as was an increased sale
o f chicks this spring. Greatest in­
crease in chick sales is in the Rocky
mountain and Paficic regions.
Present prospects indicate fair to
good fruit crops in most sections of
the country, the
seaport states.
Apples were injured by freezes in
seme parts of the central and south­
ern states, but damage was not
serious. A good crop of pears is in
prospect for the Pacific northwest
and California, and cherry pros­
pects are good in all important pro­
ducing states except Idaho and
Utah. Peach outlook is average or
better.
Purchasing power of farm pro­
ducts in the country as a whole
was last reported at 74 per cent of
the pre-war average and 80 per cent
c f the 1926-1930 average General
level of farm prices in mid-April
was 89 per cent and prices paid by
formers averaged 120 per cent of
the per-war base period.

LIQUOR BOARD
HEAD RESIGNS
SALEM — The resignation of
Arthur K. McMahan of Albany as
chairman of the state liquor con­
trol commission is beleived here to
be the forerunner of the long ex­
pected shake-up in that organiza­
tion.
In acknowledging receipt of M c­
Mahan's letter of resignation G ov­
ernor Sprague asked him to con­
tinue in office until he can find a
suitable successor, lending weight to
the report that the governor was
desirous of continuing McMahan on
the commission at least until the
expiration of his term at the end
of this year. In fact it has been in­
timated in official circles close to
the throne that the governor may
attempt to prevail upon the Albany
attorney to continue with the com­
mission in spite of his announced
desire to retire.
I t is regarded as a practical cer­
tainty that Otto J. Runte, state li­
quor administrator will be replaced
as the first step in the reorganiza­
tion of the commission's set-up.
Vacations in Colorado—
Chas. Ryan left Saturday on a

clubs, have provided funds to make
it possible for these club members
to attend this summer school. The
scholarships have been awarded to
the different members on the basis
of past achievement in their project
work.

weeks summer school is one of the
outstanding events in the career of
any 4-H club member, offering as it
does, instructional work in the
classes taught at the session as well
as an opportunity to meet and be­
come acquainted
with other 4-H
club members over the entire state.
