The Northwestern Turkey Grow era association was ael up eight years ago to act ua a central mar keting agency for the cooperative -turkey growers . organizations of ihe western states. ' Mr. Ueyera, a former resident of X'auyonviile, Douglas county, who jiatl been nerving as manager of the Oregon Turkey Growers fol lowing Its organization a few years jn-ovlounly, was employed by the (Northwestern association and Amoved to its headquarters at Hull iLake City to serve as an assistant manager.

I ypoaklug before the large group -uiiu tlielr friends lie re Saturday night, ho outlined the current mar keting activities ot the association, the national situation, distribution costs, transportation and labor problems and trends of production. Now Revolving Capita) The Northwestern association, he reported, has strengthened Its tluancial position each yeaiv until It now Is outstanding In the field of cooperatives for successful . fi nancial operation. it has built up Its operating cap ital to thu point thai It now ih stalling to revulvo Its capital fund.

Tho distribution will amount to ap proximately $13,20" of which amount Oregon growers will re ceive about $3,001). Future pay ments will depend upon operating conditions, he slated. Ho explained new grading re itulremeuls for the coming market, thu principal feature of which is u government regulation requiring the removal of all feathers and closer sizing. The association, he told the growers, is enlarging its advertis ing program, and Is particularly emphasizing qunlity of the birds bundled, together wlih Information ot the high standards of packing and grading. Tho advertising cam paign will he directed bulb to dealers and consumers. New Markets In Prospect Mr. lieyera particularly was en thusiastic over the possibility or opening new markels by means of new products, Success met last year In expel 1 meiilal markellng of viscerated birds will result in an enlarged pro gram this season, he told the grow ers. Lao of this method, however. Is limited at the present time, as it requires facilities for quick freezing. The birds must be frozen Immediately uftnr they are drawn.

Canned turkey also will he handled undor government Inspection, Another possible sideline, he re ported, may be smoked turkey, a plan now in early experimental stage. Price Outlook Uncertain Mr. Beyers was unable lo ven ture predictions on prico outlook for the coming season, stating that ii depended largely upon the eco nomic conditions of the coming f'tll months. Production of turkeys Is Bhowing an increase In eastern stntes and a slight decrease in the inter-mountain area, he said. The Indications arc that birds will be somewhat late in maturity. Increases In transportation costs and unsettled conditions of labor offer a serious problem to the in dustry, he told the growers. .

Farmers of the county now plant more than 1000 acres annually, and Imtkocp believes this will be doubled la tho next two years. It has the advantage of rape In that It Is a Hue soil builder, makes better f oi age for cattle, and grows welt on red hill soils where clover and rape do not thrive without the use of lime and phosphate I'ortil-Ixcrs. PORTLAND, July 18. (AIM ihe federal bureau of agricultural economics estimates the Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Colorado apple crop at 3 per cent less than last year and 5 per cent less than average. Crop prospects in the five statos represented 37 per cent of the national total compared with 24 per cent In 1937. 'J he government said the Ore gon output would reach 3,1178.000 boxes compared with 3,(100,000 boxes n year ago. The states pear crop will scale about 4,120,000 boxes. The out put in 1037 was 3,550,000. The national apple crop nf about 131,3!H,000 bushels will be about 3(i per cent less than last year and 11 pur cent oil the ten year aver age. America's pear crop call; mate of 31,0'l!i,000 compared with 1' If, 5 -18,000 bushels In 1037 and 21,- 326,000 for the ten year average. Uncertainty of Demand in Future Creates Task in Marketing. A marketing problem for Oregon filbert growers which will make lower costs of production of vital importance in years to come is foreseen by authors of a new bul letin on "Cost and Kfficieucy In the Kilbert Enterprise in Oregon" just issued by the Oregon agricultural experiment station. The bulletin Is the result of a two-year cost of production study made by the late A. S. Harrier, head of the farm management de partment, and C. K. Schuster, fed eral horticultural stationed at Oregon State college. It is avail able for free distribution. The future demand for filberts Is an unknown quality, but the evontual extent of filbert planting is equally unknown," the authors point out. "Based on present yields and consumption It uppears very likely that a surplus of un shelled filberts may be produced even if all new plantings were stopped Immediately. As a mat ter of fact planting is going aheud rapidly. Alternates Pointed Out If demand for unshelled filberts will not move the crop Into con suming channels without disrupt lug the market, it will be neces sary to shell the surplus stock and market it as kernels. Such a nrocedure wil probably result In substantially lower returns to growers. Whether such a pros pective reduction of returns is really serious or only irritating to the individual grower will depend upon the relationship between his production costs ana the price received." Klfly different bearing orchards and 20 young orchards were in cluded In the study which involved both cost of production and cost of establishing a hearing or chard. There are approximately 11,000 acres of filbert trees In western Oregon and Washington, which constitutes about 98 per cent of the filbert trees in the United States. 'Wide farm-to lami variations were found in production costs. The fuct that 9 per cent of the The ted squirrel has a system atic way of storing his food.

WHEAT LOANS IN OREGON ESTIMATED COHVALLIS, July 18. (AP AAgriculluial adjustment admini stration wheat loan rates hidic.ites Oregon farmers will be ullowed net loans ranging from 53 to 55 cents at county points for No. 1 soft white wheat. Freight, plus four cents a bushel to cover handling charges, will be deductod from a basic rale of 67 cents. It was believed tho deduc tion included storage costs, which must be paid in advance before the loan cun be granted. The grower gets the benefit of storuge charges when, and if, the government later takes over the wheat for the loan.

BANG'S DISEASE CLEAnhUP PLANNED Indemnity Payments Will Be Subject to Change After May 1,1939. Plans under way for a sweep ing state-wide drive to clean up Bang's disease hi the dairy and beef cattle herds in Oregon will be little affected by the recent decrease In fed oral indemnity pay ments to raisers, Dr.. W, H. Yytle, state veterinarian, predicted to day. , The setting up of Bang's con tro) committees in each of the countieH is progressing favorably, tbe state department of agricul ture also announced. The local committees will be In charge of se curing cooperation for the test ing and condemning work In their areas. The drive to reduce reactor ani mals to a minimum is designed to take full advantage of present fed eral indemnity payments which will be subject to change after May 1, 1989. At that time each state is expected to have to con tribute a sum equal to that put up by the federal government. Indemnity Reduced Congressional action has cut federal . Bang's indemnity pay ments to one-third of the differ ence between the appraised value and the salvage value of slaugh tered animals, Dr. Lytle said. The resulting sum is sufficient, how ever, to permit cattle raisers to clean up without experiencing heavy fiuaclal losses, it is be lieved. "This congressional action should serve to Impress upon cat tle raisers the necessity of get ting Bang's disease testing and era dication" carried out immediately," Dr. Lytle says. "Infected herds bring financial loss. If reactor ani mals are not decreased In number by May 1 of next year, it Is likely that indemnity payments will cease altogether. The state could not match federal payments as it would be required to do unless the numbers of reactors are brought down." LINN LEADS ENGLISH RYEGRASS GROWING ALBANY.
