ft Government Affects Plans Of Vest Farms By RALPH H. HEPPE SAN FRANClSCO-WiGovern-ment programs are influencing plans of far western farmers more this season than in any other re cent year. Acreage allotments and with drawal or lowering of support prices have forced farmers to seek other crops or to lower prduc tion sights. Mandatory cutbacks in five crops total 2,250,000 acres a staggering amount of land for which new use must be found. That's the 1950 agricultural out look m the seven states of the 12th Federal Reserve district as reported by the San Francisco Fed eral Reserve bank. Five important district crops are subject to acreage allotments if growers wish to be eligible for di rect price supports. They are, with acreage cutbacks compared with 1949: Wheat To be cut by almost 1, 500,000 acres. Cotton To be slashed nearly 500,000. Dry beans, rice and potatoes $725 to $900 Buys A 4 FORD TRACTOR SEE UMPQUA TRACTOR CO. 125 S.

It was lowered for butterfat, man ufacturing milk, eggs, flaxseed and dry beans, compared with the 1949 level. Lowering the support for butterfat and manufacturing milk was cushioned by use of the "mod ernized parity price formula," however. This brought the support prices for those products close to the 1949 floor. As anticipated, farmers have turned to feed grain production to keep their acreage working. Live stock production, the report said. is a logical alternative in view of the demands of the expanding west ! em population. There also has been increased I planting of sugar beets 40 percent I by acreage. Next largest increase j was 20 percent in sorghums. Sharpest acreage cut was the 64 percent in flaxseed. Next largest was in dry field peas 24 percent. J Indications were that poultry j men, with unfavorable egg and j feed price ratios, would curtail pur , chase of baby chicks by around 12 percent. . .

Most growers use self feeders built on skids which will hold from one-half ton to a ton of feed. Re duced servicing means a reduced labor requirement, Bennion points out. Regardless of type of waterer used, portability is a must so it may be moved frequently to pre vent disease. Open ditches are a common source of contamination, the specialist adds. Spring is a good time to take inventory and repair turkey range equipment before putting it in use. This timely reminder is from Noel Bennion, OSC extension poul try specialist, who points out that range equipment used extensively in this state consists of shelters, roosts, feeders and watering de vices. Before putting it in use, he suggests that an inventory be taken and repairs be made where needed. Efficient turkey operators, Ben nion adds, have all their equip ment skid mounted and constructed so that it can be easily moved from place to place to avoid con tamination. This management practice also eliminates wearing bare spots in the turkey range from excessive use. While some growers use neither shelters or roosts, most Oregon market turkey producers use them to avoid mud, especially after fall rains start. Shelters provide roost ing quarters, protection for poults when they are young, and shade during the warm summer months. The same shelters, Bennion states, may be also used for the breeding flock during the winter months. i With reference to sun and shade, halfway measures are apparently not adequate. Bennion suggests that when shade quipmcnt is built it provide enough shade for the entire flock. Otherwise, crowding and deaths may be the result of insufficient shade. The shelters must be placed close enough to gether to encourage the turkeys to spread out' rather than gather NEW LOCATION ACE ELECTRIC 749 S.
