Importation of Spanish
Filberts Not Planned
WASHINGTON, July 28 - (API
- Senator McNary (R., Ore.) has
assured Pacific northwest filbert
growers their fears that Impor
tations of Spanish filberts would
tnke pari of the American mar
ket were unfounded.
The North Pacific Nut Grow
ers association and the Oregon
Nut Growers association became
alarmed over published reports
thai Spnnish growers were seek
ing an American market. They
wrote the senator that the Ameri
can crop tills year promised to be
Iho largest in history and that
foreign Importations would be in
jurious. The agriculture department
told McNary there was no move
ment on foot to import Spanish
filberts and no probability such
CNporlations would be permitted.
Youth Groups Urged to
Feature Good Nutrition
Leaders of youlll groups
throughout Ihe state are to be
asked by the Oregon committee
on nutrition for defense to em
phasize nutrition in some part
of their regular program, it was
decided at the recent stale meet
ing of the commlltee.
A subcommittee on boys' and
girls' health, headed bv Miss
Uertha Kohlhagen. in charge of
economics education in ihe state
department, proposed a plan to
prepare Information on nutrition
In the form of charts, films,
plays and cNhtbits suitable for
use In youth organizations. In
addition. It Is hoped to be able
to furnish leaders of youth groups
wiih lists of luilii'titis, plays, and
llluslratlve materials which they
can obtain from other sources.

Oregon Ups Food
Production While
Crop Prices Rise
Tangible evidence of adjust
ments in Oregon's agriculture to
ward national foodfordefense
and nutritional program goals Is
contained in a review of the cur
rent farm situation just Issued by
the extension service at O. S. C.
Tho report also shows that the
farms over the nation as a whole
are exnected to produce abundanf
ly with Increases being register
ed in many of the defense and
nutrition commodities such as
meat milk, eggs and certain truck
crops and fruits.
Outstanding among Oregon's
contributions toward the nation
al food program are the expand
ed output of canned products, par
ticularly green beans and peas.
Oregon's production of green
beans for processing Is expected
to reach 20,500 ions this year,
compared with l.r,000 in 1H40.
Green pea production is estimated
at 35.170 tons of shelled peas.
First In Green Beans.
The official figures of Ihe Unit
ed States department of agricul
ture place Oregon as the first
state in the nation In volume of
green beans for processing in
1941 and third in green peas.
Botli of these industries have
grown rapidly during a period of
years, but the increase this year
is particularly noteworthy. The
green bean industry is centered
on irrigated lands in the Willam
ette valley, while green pea pro
duction has attained prominence
on good non-irrigated lands large
ly in, Umatilla county.
Karm prices are now more
than 20 per cent higher than the
general average a year ago.
Among the important factors
which have helped to boost farm
price levels are the current high
rate of Industrial employment
and Income of consumers, higher
government loan rates on basic
farm commodities, and the food
fordefense buying operations of
the government.
The sharp advance in farm
prices has occurred desiite large
stocks on hand of many items
and the prospect for Increased
production this year. Farm costs
are advancing also, although not
as rapidly thus far as the prices
for many kinds of farm pro
duets. Tho index of prices paid
by farmers, interest and taxes at
mid June stood at l.'IO per cent of
the lmiMilM level, only two
jxilnts higher than a year before.
Farm wage rates have advanced
more rapidly and there are indi
cations that other farm costs
may be affected by the current
trend toward general price infla
tion. NOTICE OF MEETING OF
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Notice Is hereby given that on
the second Monday in August,
being Augusl 11, the Hoard of
Equalization will convene in the
Assessor's office in the Court
House in Roseburg, PoucUis
County, Oregon, for Ihe purpose
of examining the Assessment
Rolls and correcting nil errors In

ity of land, lots and other prop

AAA Posts Price
Schedule on All
Seed Purchases
Harvesting of Oregon's record
winter legume crop is now under
way with growers assured the
same prices as In 1940 for hairy
vetch and winter peas sold
through the AAA 1941 seed pur
chase program. Announcement is
also made by the state offlc? at
Corvallis that annual rye grass
has been added to the seed pur
chase program, and that guaran
teed prices have been posted foi
common vetch and Willamette
vetch. '
Annual or Italian rye grass has
been added to the program to en
courage production of cover crop
seed for use in southern and
east central states. The AAA will
offer to purchase it at the rate of
$3.60 per hundred for seed 98
per cent pure with a germination
of 90 per cent or better. In cen
tain parts of the south and east
central states rye grass Is prov
ing particularly valuable as a soil
protecting crop either alone or
in combination with a legume
such as crimson clover.
The AAA will pay growers a
premium of 10 cents a sack on
winter peas and vetch put up in
cotton bags. All seed purchased
last year was handled in cotton
bags, thus the provision in effect
means an increase of 10 cents a
hundred to the growers.
Prices the AAA will pay for
Austrian winter peas range be
tween $2.65 and $3 a hundred de
pending on the grade and purity.
Hairy vetch will bring between
$6.60 and $7.25 a hundred. A new
schedule for common vetch es
tablishes a price of S3 a hundred
for seed 95 per cent pure with 90
per cent germination or better.
Willamette vetch, which must be
inspected and certified by the
farm crops department at Ore
gon State college, will be bought
at $4.20 and $4.50 a hundred.
The posting of these prices
docs not mean that the AAA will
handle Oregon's entire output, as
private dealer? ordinarily pur.
chase considerable proportions of
some crops at equal or higher
prices.
Last year nearly 800 carloads
of winter legume .seeds, were
shipped south by the AAA where
they were distributed to cotton
farmers for use as cov?r crops.
Farmers there receive tho sect'
in lieu of cash payments earned
under the farm program.
Wheat Penalty
Plan Denounced
By Congressman
WASHINGTON, J u 1 v 25.
(API Rep. Leavy ID., Wash.)
charged In the house Tuesday
that many patriotic American
wheat growers were unjustly be
ing penalized through the impo
sition of a 49-cent a bushel pen
alty on non-compliance wheat.
Leavy said the Pacific north
west was one of the nation's
greatest wheat producing areas
and this year, generally speak
ing, the crop was above normal.
"At the time this crop was
planted the penalty for produc
ing wheat on excess acreage was
15 cents a bushel, and no farm
er could have been advised that
it would be otherwise when harv
est time came." I,eavy said.
"loiter we changed the law. In
creasing parity loans to 85 per
cent of parity. In giving appllca
t'on to this increased loan, how
ever, the agriculture department
deducts a freight differential of
about 12 cents a bushel, then
calculates parity on that basis,
thus resulting in a loan about
86 cents a bushel to our farm
ers, instead of 98 cents a bu
shel. "At the same time the law
provides for a 50 per cent pen
alty on parity loans without giv
ing any consideration to the
freight differential.
"In other words, farmers in
my district arc discriminated
against. The penalty of 49 cents
a bushel Is calculated on a 98
cent per bushel Instead of 86
cents that we can get. There
fore our penalty in no event
should be more than 43 cents."
Amendment Only Harmful
Leavy said that recent amend

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
"One ship goes east and an
other goes west,
By the self-same winds that
blow.
"Tls the set of the sail
And not the gale
That determines the way they
go.
Like tho winds of the sea are
the ways of late,
As we journey along through
life.
Tis the set of the soul
That determines the goal
And not the calm or the
strife."
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
There is the closest affinity
between purpose and person
ality. A man bent on nothing
but making money eventually
stoops to meanness. Jesus an
xiously striving to do God's
will excels in moral grandeur.
Paul is understood, by his pas
sion to Imitate and servo
Christ. Of great importance is
the set of the soul. A Daniel
with his face turned toward
Jerusalem meets the tests of
faith triumphantly. It makes
all the difference in the
world whether we are striv
ing toward Christ and Godli
ness or are headed for sinful
satisfaction. The urge of the
Christian man, is this, one
thing I do. "I press forward to
the mark of the high calling
in Christ Jesus, my Lord."
This brings us into the haven
of rest. Amen.
kcting quota to relieve the non
compliance grower whose crops
were less than normal helped
only a single unjust situation.
The representative said that If
a wheat farmer in the state of
Washington saw fit to harvest
wheat grown on excess acreage
and took advantage of the maxi
mum loan on such wheat, which
is 60 per cent of parity, he would
be able to borrow 52 cents a bu
shel and Immediately be sub
jected to a 49-cent a bushel
penalty.
This he said was unjust.
Growers' Vote Slated.
Secretary Wickard today noti
fied farmers that the agriculture
department would propose rigid
marketing quotas for next year's
wheat crop.
A proposal to invoke marketing
controls will be submitted to a
grower referendum at a date yet
to be set. Approval by at least
two-thirds of those voting is re
quired. R. M. Evans, AAA administra
tor, said the quota referendum
would he held next spring as soon
as condition of the 1942 crop
could be determined. The refer
endum would be called off only in
the unlikely event of a prospec
tive crop of less than 360,000,000
bushels.
The purpose of the quotas,
Evans explained, was to divide
a limited market "equitably"
among all growers and to pro
tect wheat prices and Income by
keeping part of the surplus off
the market until needed. Since
quotas are designed also to pro
tect the value of grain stored
under government loans, farm
law provides that no such loans
may be made if quotas are voted
down. This year's loan program
provides a basic rate of 98 cents
a bushel on the farm.
Crop Slash Essential.
Wickard, In a proclamation de
claring the department's inten
tion to establish quotas, said the
nation's wheat supply was at rec
ord levels and that, under provi
sions of the AAA act, it was
necessary for the department to
take steps to curtail production
as well as sales.
Under quotas, a farmer Is lim
ited to the sale of grain produc
ed on his AAA acreage allot
ment. Such allotments will be
about 12 per cent smaller than
for this year's crop.
Wickard made known the de
partment's plans well ahead of
the winter wheat planting sea
son. The bulk of the winter
wheat crop is seeded in Septem
ber and October. Many farmers
complained that this year's quo
tas wore not proposed until
months after the grain was plant
ed and that had they known
ahead of planting time they
would not have overplanted
their allotments and run into the
49-cent penally.
U.S. Lamb Crop
Of Present Year
Biggest on Record
WASHINGTON, July 27 .'AD
The agriculture department re
ported the 1941 lamb crop the
largest on record, totaling 34,549,
000 head, an increase of five per
cent over the previous record
crop of 1940 and 13 per cent more
than the ten-year period from
1930-39 average.
The increase over 1940 was
largely in the west north central
states.
The department said the rather
sharp Increase over last year was
a result of an Increase in the
number of breeding ewes and a
record percentage of lambs
saved.
The crop In the 13 western
sheep states was placed at 22,
723,000 head. The number In the
so-called native states those east
of the Rockies and Texas was
reported at 11,826,000 head.
Over half of the Increases in
the western states was In Texas
and South Dakota, both of which
have record crops.
The department said weather
and feed conditions in the west
ern sheep states this season were
exceptionally favorable for pro
ducing a large crop.
The department's estimate by
states of the 1940 and 1941 lamb
crops, respectively, Included:
Montana 2,160,000 and 2,348,
000; Idaho 1,546,000 and 1,587,000;
Wyoming 2,386,000 and 2,497,000;
Utah 1,554,000 and 1,617,000; Ne
vada 530,000 and 522,000; Wash
ington 546,000 and 554,000; Ore
gon 1,453,000 and 1,502,000; Cali
fornia 2,388,000 and 2,460,000.
Advice Offered on Corn,
Lima Bean Planting
Don't expect your lima beans
to do acrobatics or your swcf
corn to perform miracles after
you have used poor technique in
planting, cautions J. H. Burdett,
Chicago seed man.
"Plant lima beans with eyes
down," he advises, "or they have
to turn somersaults in the ground
before they are pushed up and
out by their sprouts.
"The sprout comes from the
eye. If the lima bean is planted
with the eye up, the bean has to
'turn over in its grave" before
the sprout can push upward from
the under side.

plant corn In a square plot, rath
er than In a single row along tho
side or end of a garden. Each
kernel of the growing corn must
be fertilized by pollen dropping
from the tassel to the (ilk of the
car. If corn Is planted In a slnglo
row and the wind blows In tho
wrong direction the pollen may
miss Its mark, but if pbrnHngT
are In squares the pollen is vir
tually certain to fertilize no mat
ter which way the wind blows."
Tip on Preparation of
Leaf Fertilixer Given
One nf the best fertilizers fnr
grass is a mixture prepared from
leaf mold, says Horace F. Major
of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculturc.-
"Collcct the leaves in the fall
and place them in a pit where
they can rot," Major advises.
"A mixture of one part am
monium sulphate to five parts of
crushed limestone (if tests show
your lawn needs lime) should
then be sprinkled over each six
inch layer of leaves In the pit.
"The lawn should be raked
thoroughly In the spring, before
the decayed leaves are applied,
and as deeply as possible without
pulling up the grass roots."
Major says the mixture has
these advantages; It is free of
weed seeds, has no odor, is rich
in humus and nitrogen, is easily
applied, is cheap and gets excel
lent results.
