Capital.
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. Ho rapidly advanced In
tho organization,- and for the past
lew years has been serving as
uanager.
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.
Money deducted from pools In
JUKI) and JUItl to ho added to the as
sociation's working capital Is to bo
relumed to tho growers who par
ticipated in the pools of that year.
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,

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.

give careful consideration to the
iftii marketing possibilities and
particularly advised careful selec

CRIMSON CLOVER

annual pasture crop in Clackamas
county and other purls of the

appearing before the attack of the
Ilea beetle, says County Agent .T.

of crimson clover was Introduced
into the county in V.K I. 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

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

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.

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."

The world's largest construction projects are let to low
bidders . . . contractors who can do the best jobs at the
lowest cost.
Why shouldn't farmers do likewise ... buy the products
that are "low bidders" in the matter of operating costs.
Most farmers dol . . . They buy "Caterpillars." "Cater

price as other products of less quality . . . they produce
much more ... on less output for fuel, repairs and de
