CHICAGO, April 22-JP)-Con-tinued
pessimistic war news plus
weakness of stocks and surround
ing commodities were too much
of a handicap for the wheat fu
tures market Tuesday and 'prices
lost almost a cent after a higher
opening.
A warning that the government
would resist unwarranted lard
price increases, failure of expect
. ed flour buying for the Red Cross
to materialize and lack of prog
res in farm legislation also were
depressing factors. Enlarged of
fers of wheat in the face of light
demand - uncovered some .stop
loss selling. Short covering just
before the close raised prices
fractionally above the day's low
est levels.
Wheat finished - cent
lower than the previous close,
May 8914-54, July 87-.
Trade estimates placed the
amount of loan wheat to be de
faulted at around 250,000,000
bushels by the end of the month
when the last of the loans come
due. Price setbacks since the nazi
campaign t in the Balkans started
have lowered the value, of wheat
to a point where it was no longer
profitable to redeem and liqui
date loan stocks. -

SHELBURN Most of he farm
ers in this section have completed
their spring seeding. This is early
for the seeding to be completed,
but the weather has been very fa
vorable for field work. The crops
sown last fall are in general above
average. A number of fields have
had to be eaten off by sheep to re
tard the growth. .. . .
Berry growers have been visited
by buyers offering five cents per
pound for strawberries and nine
cents for black caps. The cherry
crop in this section has been hard
hit by frost and hail storms.

Seriousness of
Onion Disease
Is Stressed
i
Onion growers who wish to get
more information about the yel
low dwarf disease, which has re
cently made its appearance in
Marion c jnty on onions grown
for seed and bulbs, should get in
touch with Acting County Agent
Robert E. Rieder before Satur
day, April 26.
On that day he and Dr. F. P.
McWhorter of Oregon State col
lege will visit as many individual
growers as possible and give in
formation on the disease, which
is potentially the most serious one
ever to have attacked onions
here. Several complete crop

losses were reported in Iowa from
the disease until, a concerted ef
fort was made to eliminate it
from planting stock.
According to Mr. Rieder, there
is no chemical spray r control
measures which can be applied
but instead the disease must be
handled by careful roguing of
infected plants from the growing
fields throughout the season. It
is apparently spread by sucking
insects, such as aphis and possi
bly onion thrips, and is not car
ried through the winter in the
seed but in the tuber or bulb.
Sixty-three onion growers met
at Labish Center school house last
Friday, when the disease problem
was discussed by Dr. McWhorter
and Dr. C. E. Owens, both of
Oregon State college.

Surplus Seen
In Wheat
Report on Condition of
Winter Crop Snows v -JMarket
Quota Need,"
Latest crop reports on the con
dition of winter wheat in America
emphasize the necessity of a vote
on wheat marketing" quotas, ac
cording" to Will . Steen, chairman:
of the Oregon AAA committee. '
The April crop report Indicates
that spring and " winter wheat
production plus the present carry-over
will add up to nearly
li billion bushels. This is about
twice as much. wheat as America
normally consumes In two years.
Other great wheat-producing
countries also report big surpluses
of unsold wheat, making the ex
port outlook dark even , without
considering- the war conditions,
which have cut off practically all
chance of shipping wheat to
countries which could use it. .
The final proclamation of. mar
keting quotas must be made prior
to May 15, and will probably fol
low the May crop report Already
the tentative date for such a ref
erendum, "If called for, has been
set -for May, 31. If the quotas are
proclaimed i and approved " by
growers, all farmers- can sell all '
the- wheat grown on their AAA
acreage allotments. In other
rd .A.croperators will have
nothing to .worry-about uridor th

Farmers who' have 6vpr-r,int

guarantee that 'all wheat growers'
will share .in takings care; of the
surplus,' says ; Chairman "Steeru
National; figures 'show that
wheat growers are cooperating
well .with - the, wheat adjustment
program.-- The . indicated, acreage
this -year - will .be somewhat less
than- 631 million acres, , which Is
remarkably jdose', to ; the "total
acreage allotment of : 62 million
acres. The heavy prospective sur
plus has been brought about by
the stoppage of practically, all ex
ports following several favorable
production years, v ,
Through use of the conservation
practice f deferred grazing,
ranchers in the 1939 AAA range
program reseeded more than 25
million acres of rangeland. l
