THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1985 PAGE THREE ■ OSU Economist Predicts Lower Price For Grain at Harvest; Hay Higher Huff Family Visits Relatives in Kansas Mr. and Mrs Albert Huff and Larry returned home last week from a two-week trip to Kansas. While in the Sunflower state, they spent several days visiting his brother, Mr. and Mrs. Willie (Rd)) Huff, former residents of Apple Vulley, now residing at Otis, Kan. Huff hail worked for several years at Amalgamated Su gar company before moving to the midwest. Word had been re ceived by the local family that he had suffered a heart attack but was reported much improved whim the Nyssans arrived. During their visit, five brothers and one sister of the Huff family met for a reunion as some had not seen each other for 43 years. They reported that a sister-in- law. Mrs Jim Huff of Concordia. Kan , had undergone a cornea re transplant nt Omaha, Neb.

World Demand Increases Forces favoring a broader after harvest advance include lower harvest time prices, a growing world demand for wheat, higher export subsidy, the prospect of a smaller world wheat crop than Inst year and possibly a smaller supply, increased domestic use of wheat for feed, nnd prospects of a smaller total U. S. soft wheat crop. More uncertain forces that can also influence prices include the size and quantity of purchase authorizations under Public Law 480, changes in export subsidy, Commodity Credit corporation sales policy and federal legisla tion for 1966-crop wheat as well as natural and man-made disas ters, Marks adds. Threa Cants Below 1964 Loan rates at the Portland ter minal and in most Oregon coun ties are three cents a bushel be low rates for the 1964 wheat crop, Marks points out. County rates reflect the Portland terminal loan of $1 44 less cost of transportation from county points to the ter minal. Under the 1965 price support program, sedimentation tests are discontinued as a basis for pre miums, but protein premiums for wheat are increased. While Oregon feed barley prices may be only slightly lower than last year at harvest time, the winter peak may not rise as high as for the past year, Marks continues. The post-harvest high could occur before the new year. VISIT TED BRAMMERS Arriving Friday evening to spend the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Till Brammer were his bro thers. Harold of Warren.

Marks explains Usually oats prices reach the crop-yeur’s high in April or May. In most recent years, they have not moved up enough to cover storage costs. Market prices for oats this year are expected to reflect at least part of the five-cent cut per bu shel in loan rates for 1965-crop oats. Oregon's hay supplies are short, which means that hay prices are likely to remain higher than last summer and fall, the economist adds. Carryover was down 36 percent from last year and this year’s hay crop may be no larger than the one harvested in 1964. REMEMBER! Nyssa Nite Rodeo FRIDAY and SATURDAY JULY 9 and 10 . . . and . . .
