Farm Director
! 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.

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.
