ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1948 FIVE Sharing of Wheat With Other Nations Calls for Caution By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON News stories nhout food shortages abroad and the amount of aid being supplied by this country often quote some authority about the danger of reducing the "wheat carryover" to too low a level. The phrase "wheat carryover" has a definite meaning to the farmer, the grain merchant, the miller, the food manufacturer and the exporter. But the citv housewife and family breadwinner may feel that it is something that doesn't aMect them. If they do, thy're wrong. The wheat carryover might be likened to the amount of money the family lays away out of each year's income for a rainy day. No prudent government will per mit its supply of bread-grain to dwindle if it can help it. Hazards Faced Experience has shown that pro duction of wheat and other crops is at least a hazardous thing, beset by fickle weather and at tacks of insect pesu and plant diseases. So the government. In sharing this country's wheat supplies with hungry areas abroad, must be careful lest it empty wheat bins and leave its consumers at the mercy of a wheat crop fail ure next year. The result might well be rigid bread rationing and there's where the city housewife and breadwinner is affected by the carryover or reserve of wheat. How much wheat should the nation carry over from one crop year to another as insurance against a bread and flour short age? There is no officially or un officially set figure. In five years before the war the wheat crop averaged about F.t6,000,000 bushels. At the be ginning of each harvest in these years the country had an aver age carryover of about 230,000, 000 bushels. This average carryover was equivalent to about 34 per cent of the amount of grain used an nually for food, livestock feed, seed and industrial uses. In nor mal times a carryover of this size is generally considered to be adequate. The carryover reached a roc- Santa Attends Local Sorority Social j j M ' l..,.. . . j. .

An example of results from seed broadcasting on the com pany's properties comes from the Lake Tahkenitch area. In March, 1943, a company forester hand broadcast about 55 acres of loggedoff land with 96 pound": of si-ed, with Port Orford cedar pre dominating. A check made in March, 1947, shows an average yield on Its eight tree farms in the Pacific Northwest. George Schroeder, assistant . chief forester, is in charge of the -restocking program. of the Tahkenitch tree farm of j of about 1K00 thriving trees per Crown ZeMerbach Corporation in i acre, of which about 1000 are Douglas County during the pres ent planting season, according to l met rorester Clarence Richen. George Johnson and Gordon erd of 630,000,000 bushels In 1942. Normally, a reserve of this size would have been considered a burden upon the cconmy be cause of its price-depressing ef fects, the cost of storage, etc. But, coming when it did, when the nation was striving to ex pand food production for the war, this large carryover was put to good use. It long since has been used up. Since the war ended, carry overs have been reduced to lev els considered by officials to be dangerously low. The carryover at the end of the 1946 crop year was down to 83,000.000 bushels or only about 10 per cent of the nation's annual needs. Secretary of Agriculture An derson has said he does not want It to drop below 150.000.000 bush els this crop year. He would like ll io oe ai least ou,uuo,uuo Dusn-els. The government can govern the size ot the carryover by re ducing or increasing exports. The final figure for thi-s crop year will he determined largely by out 1 look for next year's wheat crop. in the spring, it the crop out look is dark, exports will be reduced so that a larger carry over could le kept than if the crop outlook is lavorable. In normal times farmers do not like to have too large a car ryover, because of Its price-depressing effects. They can keep it from going too high by re sorting to crop control programs.
