Dr. Kerr urged that all Ameri cans, ana oregonians in particu lar, make a careful study of con ditions as they are, tse local com modities whenever possible, and do not grow crops for which there are no assured markets. While grain can be- produced in the Wil lamette valley. Dr. Kerr said, it cannot be produced as success fully or as economically as in the large areas east of the mountains which are unsuitable for the prod ucts which are more profitable here. "Dr. Kerr stressed the grow ing Importance of the seed in dustry in the Willamette valley, and this, he added, will give a much greater financial return than will grain grown here. Flax seed, he said, Bhould be grown here more profusely to bring back some of the millions of dollars sent out of the country each year. "Western Oregon." Dr. Kerr said, "is well adapted to growing fine grass seed, having already taken the market from New Zea land, Germany and Canada. And there is still opportunity for ex- 1 panslon. Conditions in the Wil- lameiie vaiiey are iaeai ror me production of small seeds." Dr. Kerr emphasized the neces sity of bringing the three million acres of logged off land In Ore gon back into use. He spoke of the successful experiments al ready made to turn this land into small fruit lands and grazing pastures. He urged that more of this be done.

Surplus Problem Declared Serious Closing of Foreign . Blarts 'Basis; nor Outlets Being Soiig&t ' WASHINGTON; May 27-i9V oreign maraeia ciosea Dy u European war and the spread of the barter system threaten to addle American fanners with one of their wont surplus problems la recent years, despite production restrictions Imposed under federal crop control programs. Administration farm officials. deeply concerned over the out look, are searching at home and abroad for possible sew outlets for crops which normally would be sold to European ' belligerents and to neutrala cut ' off from American supplies because i of blockade and other trade barriers. The agriculture department predicts that American farm ex ports will be reduced almost a third this year. Normal yields of major crops this season would materially in crease surprlus of cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, lard and many other products. Staples Declim --. ' The prospect of such produc tion and the shrinkage in foreign markets already Is depressing farm prices. Grains have suffered sensational declines- -and cotton has lost ground sin c e German troops moved Into the low coun tries and France. The bartar system, once con fined to German trading opera tions, has been spreading to all Europe, even to the allies, agri culture department officials said. Small European countries recent ly brought under German control are not only shut off from-American markets by the allied block-? ade but by the German barter method as well. . The British and French were said to have adopted a modified form of barter with South Ameri can countries. As a consequence, the govern ment is preparing to invoke all phases of its crop control legisla tion in an effort to avert further shrinkage in farm values and in come. Surpluses which otherwise might move into foreign markets will be withdrawn from market channels and stored under gov ernment loans to producers. This operation may require upwards of 1500,000,000 In federal funds. Subsidies to Aid The government plans to make the most of what foreign markets are now available through use of export subsidies. This device Is designed to enable exporters to meet competition abroad during times when other price-supporting measures hold American crop prices above world levels. .
