This estimate was based on fac

Because this year's record

the "food-for-defense" program
- r"- - v
ment sought a greatly reduced
crop in 1942.
Plans called for a combined
winter and spring wheat crop of
about 650,000,000 -bushels com
pared with 945,937,000 bushels
harvested this year. A sharply
reduced spring wheat crop of
175,000,000 bushels next year
would give a total crop of 806,
000,000 bushels or 156,000,000
bushels more than the govern
ment's goal.
Farmers themselves
wholeheartedly with the wheat
program, which called for a re
duction of about 12.5 per cent
in the seeded acreage. The 39,
318,00 acres seeded this fall to
winter wheat was 14 per cent
below the 45,633,000 acres plant
ed a year ago.
The department said unusually
favorable weather was the fac
tor responsible for the prospec
tive overproduction. The Decem
ber 1 condition of winter wheat
was 87 per cent of normal, com
pared with 84 a year ago.
Present indications point to
an average yield of 16 bushels
per acre compared with 14.7
bushels this year and with an
average of 11JI bushels.
Officials emphasized- that the
indicated production might not
be borne out ' inasmuch
could, happen between now and
narvest time next June and July
to lower prospects. However, past
history had shown that when
conditions were favorable' in the
fall and earl; winter, the pmn
usually turned out good.
Should Production he nhnnt Be
indicated, officials said, it would
be necessary to hold
referendum sabn: marketing; quotas.
One reason the department
sought a reduced wheat crop was
the fact that with Dresent sur
pluses of grains, difficulty .was
Deing experienced in finding ade
quate storage facilities. '.

Farmers Go
Above Quota
Pledges Show Aim
Of High Production
Throughout State
Food and feed production by
Oregon farmers will be far above
present quotas next year, on the
basis of pledges by 95 per cent of
Oregon farms, reported R. B. Tay
lor, Adams, chairman of the
USDA defense board, according to
tne Associated Press.
Compilation of reports from
all 36 counties showed promises
to produce types of food, feed
and seed particularly needed for
war efforts here and abroad.
Milk, eggs and pork production
will be exceptionally high.
Percentage increases p 1 a n n ed
for 1942 over 1941 included: milk
19 per cent; milk cows 18; hogs 38;
eggs 36; sheep 10; beef cattle to be
marketed 12; sugar beets 31; corn
7; barley 61; rye for grain 17; hay
9; dry beans 63; fiber flax 5; flax
seed 10; ryegrass 18; winter le
gume seed 35; vegetables 13, and
farm gardens 11.
The acreage of cover seed
crops is being increased in Ore
gon, which Taylor said was the
only state asked to make up the
goal, to meet demands in the
south where winter legumes
will help make up the nitrate
shortage.
Taylor said farmers would need
priorities on crawler type trac
tors and electric motors, but all
equipment was getting so scarce
that speed in repairing machinery
and ordering necessary parts and
new equipment was essential.

The wheat and corn advance
