Says Picture Not Bright In Oregon Oregon's agriculture picture isn't too rosy, and it will probably get worse before it gets better. How ever, Oregon's- farm income de cline hasn't been as severe as in other parts of the nation. This was brought out by James F. Short, state director of agri culture, in a talk Monday noon be fore the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce. , Short, who owns a cattle ranch ;near Redmond, told his listeners in the Hotel Umpqua Civic Room that Oregon's farm income is de clining "quite seriously" and will probably show another slight de , cline for 1956. Gross income is down 5 per cent in the last two years. The downward trend has existed five years. Hardest hit is the eastern Ore gon wheat rancher. Wheat produc- tion has dropped 40 per cent in I two years, and ranchers have no outlet in diversifying crops. Short blamed the fate of Oregon's big gest agricultural crop on wartime production stimulation being con tinued too long, coupled with the U.S. practice of encouraging for- eign nations to increase produc tion "while we held an umbrella 'over them." Short said he believes the soil i bank plan and other artificial aids I nave Drought damaging conditions, that no price support program can assure the farmer his share of the national income. New Mirk.lt Nuded He did say, however, that the federal government has been ol aid in one respect in taking steps to relieve temporary market gluts. The speaker pointed out several things which can be done, individ ually and collectively, to alleviate the plight of the farmer. Among others, he said we must find more industrial uses for surplus crops, find new markets for products and reduce marketing costs. He also mentioned that the farmer is will ing to carry his share of the tax burden, but we must make sure farmers are not carrying an ex treme portion of the tax load. In a question-and-answer nenod. Short reviewed the work of his department, which operates pri marily in an inspection and regu latory capacity. Short was introduced by cham ber President J. Roland Parker. Earlier in the Drneram. Rnce- burg mayor E. M. Barker Jr. in troduced Sharon Strode, queen of Plant-A-Rose Month. Sharon, a noseourg nign student, will serve the remainder of the year as an "official representative" of the Chamber of Commerce, Barker said. I Wed"., Mar. 21, 1956 The News-Revlew, Roieburf, Or.

OR 2-2689 McKay Plans To Resign Prior To Primary Vott WASHINGTON m The White House said here that Secretary of me inienor mcivay, a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Oregon, plans to resign from the Cabinet prior to the state's May 18 pri mary. McKay announced last week he would seek the Republican nomi nation for the Senate seat now held by Wayne Morse, who was elected as a Republican but later switched to the Democratic Party. At the time of McKay's announcement the White House sa id he would resign from the Cabinet about June 1. In reply to questions t riday Murray fcnyder. By OVID A. MARTIN , WASHINGTON W Unless farmers change their plans before planting time, they are likely to turn in another bumper harvest this year. This prospect was painted by an Agriculture Department report. It indicated that farmers planned on March 1 to plant 352 million acres to commercial crops. That would be about three million acres less than last year. But the Eisenhower administra tion has expressed hope of getting a cutback of at least 35 million acres. It is trying to reduce production and to make openings in the market for government-held surpluses which, officials say, are depressing farm prices and in comes. Such a reduction is the goal of a soil bank plan recommended by President Eisenhower early this year and included in an omnibus farm bill now before the Senate. In forecasting this year's acre age, the department said, however, that there still is a possibility of getting a larger reduction if the soil bank legislation is enacted, before spring planting is com pleted. Planting gets into full swing next month. Under the soil bank plan, the government would make payments to farmers for reducing plant of surplus crops. No forecast was made on the possible volume of production from the prospective acreage, but with favorable weather it could easily produce a harvest approaching last year's near record output. The report showed that livestock feed grain crops may furnish the major part of the total reduction in acreage from last year's level. But an indicated cutback of 2,900, 000 acres in corn would be far short of a 10 million acre reduction sought by the department. 1 An oversupply of feed grains has been blamed for increased produc tion of hogs and a consequent sharp decline in returns from meat animals in the politically important Midwestern farm area. Besides corn, the planting survey indicated smaller acreages this year for oats, barley, rice, pota toes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, dry beans and tobacco. Increases were indicated for spring wheat mostly of the durum type soy beans, hay crops, dry , peas, sorghums, and sugar beets.
