Dr. Kerr Advocates Better
Prodncts and Attention
to Best-Suited Ones
SILVERTON That Oregon
needs to become quality conscious
was emphasized by Dr. W. J,
Kerr, ehamellor emeritus of the
board of higher education in Ore
gon, is he spoke before the SI I
verton chamber of commerce and
other service clubs meeting at a
luncheon Monday. Dr. Kerr was
introduced by H. W. Adams, su
perintendent of Sllrerton schools.
Dr. Kerr decried the fact that
so frequently Oregon ruined Its
own market by failing to be qual
ity conscious. Referring to the
prune industry he mentioned that
in northwestern Oregon and
southwestern Washington one
product was producing a failing

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.
Oregon, said Dr. Kerr, had de
creased 79 per cent in exports in

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. .

ers for curtailing production, the
government expects to have up
wards of $1,350,000,000.
Should crop control and sub
sidization fall to hold prices at
reasonably satisfactory levels, the
administration may turn, some
leaders said, to some form of
price control. These leaders em
phasized, however, that price-fixing
would be proposed only as, a
last resort in the event of an
emergency.
