Extension Agent Quotes Reports
 Of Outside Crops
By PARKER LESTER

The office of the district eX- tension agent is now receiving periodically crop and livestock report from the states of Wash ington, Oregon and Idaho. These three states can be more or less taken as a forecast for territorial prices. Therefore the following reports concerning market con ditions in these states are quoted.
 When parity, averages, or per centages are mentioned, unless otherwise specified, they are based on the average price for the years between August, 1909 to July, 1914. The U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture's statistic ians have decided these years represent the nearest to normal, considering the consumers and producer average income and expense.
 By mid-August the state of Washington reported the price of corn had advanced 15 cents a bushel. Price gains in wheat, oats, and, barley were less mark ed. Average Wheat.price in Wash ington was S2.03 per bushel, as compared to S1.97 month ear Her and S1.67 a year earlier
 Potatoes weakened in price with the advent of the 1947 sea- son. Prices received for hay were stronger. Hay production in the state this year is the lowest since 1888, but it appears ample to take care of the reduced live stock population. Stockmen are buying early to avoid high prices late::.
 The only meat price to in crease during this period was that oi hogs, which advanced S1.60 per cWt., over the July price. All poultry feed prices advanced except linseed meal and scratch.
 Idaho reports, dated Sept. 2. stated that potatoes and sugar beets were continuing to devel- op well in that state. However many potato fields were late in the areas which had been injured by June frosts. Yields are ex- pected to be lower than last yea.
 The second cutting of hay was practically complete in all ex~ cept the eastern district of the state, and the crop growth was reported good in the southwest and south central counties.
 Ranges and non-irrigated pas tureG were dry, but irrigated pastures were in fairly good con- dition and high ranges were still yielding good feed. Milk produc- tion continued itG seasonal de. cline. Range livestock was re- ported in good condition, with grass-fat cattle and lambs mov- ing toward market and to feed- lott.
 Oregon crops, as of Aug. 1, presented mixed prospect for production. Some crops, includ- ing corn, peaches, apples and pears, showed improvement, while others declined notice ably.
 Hail and dry weather cut win ter wheat crop estimates. Late spring frosts damaged the potato crop in some areas, and an esti- mated yield of 27 percent less than last years crop is now ex- pected.
 Total fruit and nut crop pro- duction will be about 3 percent

No Lights?
 No Materials

There's still a material short age, the employees of the Matan- uska Electric Association would like to remind Valley residents. No matter how much MEA would like to obligc, it's just not pos sible to order an extension to- day and expect to switch on the lights tomorrow.
 Both line material and wire are lacking at present. MEA is attempting to fill new orders as rapidly as possible, and will make every effort to have all subscribers hooked in before the coming oI cold weather.

Paid It Yet?

Payment of the territorial school tax, which is now due, is being accepted with the smile at the office of Mrs. Walter Huntley, U. s. Commissioner. The 1947 tax has been due and payable since last March. Al though no delinquency date has yet been fixed, announcement of that date is expected in a short time. Once the tax becomes de llnquent, a penalty is collected upon it's payment.

to be on its composition of long oval
shapes, and to Inez Leinbach for
