MONDAY, MAY 20, 1963 Surplus Controls Possible It's too late to do away with the price support structure for agricultural prod ucts. So the next best tiling is to' try to at least hold back costs of storing such products because they had to be purchas ed by the government under the price support program. One small step in this direction would be taken by the approval of the market ing quota program outlined by the secre tary of agriculture. Douglas County doesn't have to worry much, because it has little wheat acre age to be concerned about and its vole in the coming referendum will be slight. But it can watch the result with interest, be cause its approval is at least a step in holding the line against surpluses which cost county taxpayers a lot of money just to pay for storage. The referendum is scheduled Tuesday. As in the Inst two years, if quotas are approved in the referendum, the wheat program will offer payments for divert ing acreages generally used for wheat production to some other conservation use approved by the government. It would, however cut back the farm allotments for wheat to about 90 per cent of the 1963 level. The national allotment would be about 49.5 million acres devot ed to wheat instead of present minimum allowed of 55 million. It would set the na tional marketing quota at 1.2 billion bushels. (This Is just about the amount the country uses and exports in a normal year.) It will also give wheat growers an op portunity to voluntarily reduce below al lotments and devote more acreage to con servation. This acreage would also be eli gible for diversion payments. The Agriculture Department's reason ing is good and has the support of the Oregon Wheat Glowers League. The league says the program will : 1. Maintain farmers' wheat income at about the level of the past two years; 2. Permit an orderly reduction of the tremendous supply of wheat already on hand from previous crops (about 1.2 billion bushels). 3. Provide fair wheat prices to both producer and consumer; 4. Prevent acreage diverted from wheat production from being used to over produce some other surplus crop; 5. Reduce government costs to a wheat program. If at least two thirds of the wheat growers voting in the referendum approve marketing quotas, the program will go into effect. In Douglas County it will be administered by the Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Service. The approval of the national marketing quota of 1,220 million bushels and a na tional wheal acreage allotment of 49.5 million acres won't solve the mighty sur plus problem, but at least it slows the continuing increase of the surplus. It should be approved. The ft St 1 By Charles V.

Bids for construction of the facility were opened in Wash ington, D.C. April 2, 19!I2, with construction progressing through the remainder of the year and Into IU.W, at which time the hospital was opened. During the past few days the anniversary celebration has drawn hundreds of people. Some have participated in tours. A great, number have been honored for services, Few of those people know the "agony" with which Rose burg obtained this fine service, now contributing more than three million dollars annually to the area's economy. One of the speakers at a public program recently was Harris Ells worth, former congressman from flriiitnn'a fourth nittriir 1'rinr til election to Congress Me served in-si am-, ue..-iiiiy im- opportunity. The Veterans Admin istration was planning a new facil ity. KnscDurg, it was contended, many years as editor of The News Itcview. As editor, and Inter' as congressman, Ellsworth was one of the very few people attending the program who was aware of the struggle vicious at times that resulted in final selection of the Itoscburg site, Kllsworth personally aided in the selection. As congressman, when the Veterans Administration decid ed it didn't need all the land occu pied by the facility, ho was author of the bill which transferred 103 acres hack to the city of Koso hurg. That land today is occupied by one of Oregon's unique parks, Stewart Park, a municipal recre ation area. During the 30 years that mark the facility's place in the economy of Itoscburg and Douglas county, there has been a vast change in population. I be number who recall the nationwide Major Gordon Cooper goes 22.9 limes around the earth. a distance of slightly more than half a million miles, and comes down only 7,000 ynrds (about four miles) from the rescue ship that was waiting to Pick him up.
