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

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-

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

abscess lanced on her neck last

but is recovering.
People are beginning to worry
about the great fire hazard, that the
heavy growth of cheat grass is mak

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.
