STOCK AND GRAIN MARKETS (Editor’s Note: The following market Information Is supplied from material obtained over the Government leased market wire in the office of the extension economist at Oregon state college, The material Is in the form of a weekly summary of trends In the livestock market and is not intended to replace spot day by day market reports.) CATTLE MARKETS The cattle market at north Port land started the week steady with 2350 head available for local trading. Fed steers cleared early at steady prices with the best quality bringing $9.35 to $10.25. Grass steers were less active, but they sold up to $9.10. These prices were about the same as last week’s top. The San Francisco market report ed mostly grass-fat stuff at prices around $8.35 to $8.50. At Chicago best grades were sligthly lower with heavy steers bringing an extreme top of $11. At north Portland the prices on top steers have held around $10 for the past two months which is about 50c better than the average of May 1039. In the middle west a notable feature of the markets recently has been the wide-spread in prices be tween th good to choice steers and the prime steers. Occasionally prime steers have been selling as much as $2.50 higher than those grading near choice. The reason seems to be the relatively high percentage of offer ings that grade near choice. Range livestock are reported gen erally in good to very good condi tion as western ranges continue to be in much better shape than a year ago. Lower ranges in Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Utah have a good supply of matured feed on the lower ranges, although rain is needed in local area. High ranges in these 4 states are generally good. SHEEP ANI> LAMB MARKETS With a fairly heavy offering of 2600 head of sheep and lambs Mon day at north Portland, spring lamb prices were weak to 25c lower. The bulk of good to choice grades brought $8.25 with a top of $8.40. A few feeder lambs were about steady at $7. Lower prices were also report ed from Chicago and Omaha, al though San Francisco was able to maintain a steady market at a top of $9.40. Some Oregon lumbs continued to be contracted or brought direct for shipment to California ladino clover pastures. It is estimated that around 80 per cent of the Oregon lambs are already on contract. About 75.000 to 85,000 lambs are now on ladino pas tures in the vicinity of Oakdale where they are being sold as soon as fat at about $9 a hundred. In Nevada contract prices range from $7 to $8 a hundred and reports from Wyoming indicate contracts made for early October delivery at $7.50. About these same prices pre vail in southern Montana. HOG MARKETS After showing further weakness late last week, the hog market strengthened somewhat Monday at north Portland when 2000 head were available for sale. Most good to choice trucked-in light butchers sold from $6 to a top of $6.25. This was higher than either the 8an Francis co or Chicago prices. Hog markets so far in June have been weak and unusually sensitive to changes in supply and to trends in other commodities, as well as to European war news. Receipts at mid-west markets have declined somewhat but are still running far heavier than a year ago. WOOL MARKETS Boston wool houses reported a fairly large volume of business this past week with prices advanced on mast kinds of greasy domestic wools The demand broadened on graded territory wools. The prices also made further ad vances in original bag lines of fine territory wools. Sales were closed at 84c to 87c, scoured basis, for good French combing length, fine grades. Short to average combing lengths went at 81c to 83c. scoured basis.

H AYIN G FINISHED The Selection and Operation of A Farm Electric Refrigerator By IRA MILLER 1 Farm Electrification Uureau '•pHERE are few farmers who enjoy 1 high-line service that need be told of the many advantages of an electric refrigerator—how, without attention, it dependably and cheaply protects the family’s health, and saves food, money and work. A ma jority of those who do not already have one are planning its purchase as soon as finances permit, for its many benefits—most marked during the hot days of summer and fall— hrnake it a year-’round necessity. * However, there probably are many farmers who do not know how to choose the proper size and type of electric refrigerator for their partic ular needs, or how to operate it at greatest efficiency and lowest cost. For them, some hints on those points should prove helpful. Whatever you do, do not buy a re frigerator too small for your maxi mum requirements. That is a serious mistake and one often made either because the unit is purchased purely on a price basis or because no allow ance is made for the possibility of additional mouths to feed or extra perishables to store. A good general rule to follow is to allow two cubic feet of storage space per family member but, in no case, should a farm refrigerator have a capacity of less than six cubic feet. , The type (and also size) of elec tric refrigerator you need will de pend upon your marketing and buy ing habits, the kinds of foodstuffs you raise, buy and sell, and whether or not you wish to keep supplies of fresh meats and frozen foods imme diately on hand at all times. Proper management is the most important factor in keeping the op erating cost of any good electric re frigerator at a minimum. Despite the excellence of its insulation, it should be located in as cool a place as pos sible and away from the range and other sources of heat. Hot foods should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being placed in the box. The door should be opened ' as seldom as possible and kept open no longer than is abso' ’ ’ v neces sary. The temperature ’ a re The surrounding land is fertile And as rich as it can be There are gentle slopes and level plains As far as you can see. There is not another city In the east or in the west That is comparable to Nyssa The town that I love best. SHEAVILLE The historical program given by the I. O. N. grange, was attended by a large crowd. A deleatlon from the Ruby and Vale granges, were also there. Some very interesting readings of the early days, and settlers were given, and some very interesting stories were brought out, as the lec turer called on several members of pioneer families of talks. Mrs. Nelle Parks, lecturer of Ruby grange gave a short talk on the Ruby ranch, her home which was homesteaded by her grandfather in the 70s and is still in the family. This ranch was the old Inskip station, and fort on the old road from California to Boise. Hal Parks, whose mother walked from Winnemucca to the fort when she came into the country. Kurt Skinner, master of Ruby grange also gave a talk on his home ranch the old Skinner ranch, which his grand father settled, and who helped build the first toll road, which his grand mother helped to keep. Erie Parker, Vale lecturer, gave two old range readings. The music consisted of old time range ballads. After the program, a supper was served by the H. E. C. ladles and fol lowed by an old time dance. The I. O. N. grange will initiate in the Third and Fourth degree on Friday night the 21st of June. There are several members who will take this degree. The grange has several new members, who are Just coming In and will not be ready for this degree at this time. The Home Economics of the grange have scrubbed and cleaned the hall and put up new drapes and also new lamps, in the last few weeks, so that the room now pre- Cockroaches -Losses Insure Your Hay Frank T. Morgan sents a pleasant cool appearance. The next H. E. C. meeting July 1 will be held at the home of Mrs. S. R. Bennett, in Jordan Valley. The hot weather is ripening the hay very rapidly and the farmers are all rushing the haying, although earlier than usual. The crop is much better than last year. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Haylett, Mrs. D. H. Haylett, Mr. and Mrs. George McKay of Portland, made a trip to Malheur and Harney lakes last week by the Folly farm cut off. They re port the roads very good, except for the cut off from the I. O. N. to Folly farm, which Is very dusty. They | made the trip in nine hours. | Miss Laura Falen had to have an abscess lanced on her neck last j week, and so has not been so well, but is recovering. People are beginning to worry about the great fire hazard, that the heavy growth of cheat grass is mak ing. It is over a foot high and thick all along the roads, and is as in flamable as as, when dry. It is rip ening very fast. LINCOLN HEIGHTS — Haying is nearly completed in this vicinity al though it has been a prolonged oc cupation. Because of lack of wa ter some farmers had to begin hay ing before they had planned. And in some cases lack of help was a handicap. However, the hay crop has been very good and there is an abundance of hay in stacks at present. It Is hoped that everyone can be gin irrigating soon as the fields and especially the pastures are gradu ally drying up. Gardens also are badly in need of moisture.
