Oregon Produces 1942 Crops
Exceeding 10 Year Average
IBy 20 per Cent; New High Set
Crop production -was on a very high level in Oregon in 1942.
The combined production of field, truck and fruit crops was
about 20 jpercent above the 10-year (1930-39) .average and
slightly above the favorable season of last year. Preliminary in
formation also indicates that the total: value of the crops har
vested was approximately 30 percent above 1941, with the in
crease almost entirely the result
1 of improved prices. While this
reflects ; a very . satisfactory year,
; the season was a difficult one for
the fanner as the supply of farm
" " labor ,' was short and production
costs materially higher. Consid-
- ering the ' heavy production and
the : relatively small : amount of
available labor, the state v was
' fortunate in having ' dry weather
up to the close of October which
- made a I long harvesting ' season
-possible. . Parts - of .some, - crops
were, however, left - unharvested
and while this was serious in in
dividual cases, crop losses for the
- state as a whole were small and
below what it was feared earlier
might be the case.
Due to favorable moisture con-
ditions, yields per acre of prac
ticably all field crops were better
V than average and compared well
" with the high yields obtained in
' 1941." The yield of winter wheat
t 23.5 bushels, while below the
.1941 record of 30.0 bushels, was
' . much above the average of only
19.S Total wheat production ap
' proximated 19,953,000 bushels
' compared with last year's crop of
23,538,000 bushels and, the aver
age of 18,620,000 bushels. Oregon's
corn crop was down 13 per cent
compared with 1941 due to a
smaller acreage. Oats production
was 15 per cent above last year
; and the largest crop since 1936
while .barley production estab
lished a record.. The rye crop how
ever was relatively small, as more
than , the usual proportion of the
.acreage was cut for hay. The pro
duction of all tame hay is placed
at 1,-619,000 tons and wild hay at
249,000 tons or a total for all hay
of 1,868,000 tons. Oregon's potato
' crop estimated at 7,200,000 bush-
els, was little different, from the
7,175,000 bushels produced in 1941.
The crop was somewhat better in
the Crook-Deschutes and Klam
ath areas of eastern Oregon, but
' considerably lighter in western
. V Oregon where blight and a lack of
early fall rains reduced yields.
ii Approximately 560,000 bags of
" dry edible peas were produced oh
, 25,000 , acres A substantial in
crease also occurred in the pro
- duction of dry edible beans. The
alfalfa seed crop was light r pri
. marily on account of grasshopper
- damage, particularly in Baker
. county. The alsike clover seed
crop was also "smaller but the red
clover seed crop compared favor
ably with last year 'though it was
f below average. -
: The combined production of
.. truck crops for market and pro
. cessing compared favorably with
the high level,, of production in
1941 and was much above the av-
erage. There was a slight Increase
s in the acreage of snap beans but
' production1 fell below last year
due to somewhat lighter yields.
The production f beets was also
, a little lower due to a slight re-
duction in the acreage while there
was a 20 per .cent decline in the
production of sweet corn brought
about by a rather heavy drop in
yields. The production of peas for
'processing estimated at 40,300 tons
'.was however 15 per cent larger
than last year. On fresh market
vegetables, the acreage of late let
tuce was down but production ex-
: ceeded the previous year on ac
count, of much improved yields.
.Onion production was up about 7
per cent from last year to 950,000
.jacks. There was an increase of
: 22 per cent in the acreage but
! yields in the Willamette valley
were relatively light on account
: of mildew damage. A rather small
'.: crop of celery was produced. Early
season prospects for strawberries
were very good but due to con
. tinuous rain during harvest about
15 per cent of the crop was lost
from this cause, also on account of
a shortage of pickers. '
The total production of tree
fruits and nuts, while about 8 per j
cent above last year, was a little
below average due primarily to
the downward trend in the pro-s
duction of prunes and apples. !
Commercial apple production ex
ceeded that of 1941 by 8 per cent
fcut more than the usual propor-
' lion of 5 the crop was processed
and. furthermore a small part was
Hot harvested. The state's Bart
lett pear; crop was also 8 per
cent larger than last year. Pro
duction was smaller in Hood Riv
er, about the same In Rogue river,
but somewhat heavier in the oth
er districts. Fall and winter pear
production was. up 12- per cent

compared with 1941, but there
was some less' due to a scarcity
of pickers, especially in the Rogue
river area. Early season prospects
were for a substantial increase in
the production of sweet cherries
but a large part of the western
Oregon crop was lost through a
shortage of -labor and rain dam
age, particularly the latter,
l The" production of prunes in
eastern Oregon 1 was about the
same at last -year while in west-r
era Oregon there was an increase
of 13 per cent. There was a de
crease of 27 per cent in the quan
tity of prunes canned and cold
packed and a slight increase in
the output of dried prunes. A
considerable quantity of western
Oregon prunes was not harvested
due chiefly to the labor situation.
Oregon's filbert crop was below
expectations, totaling about 3900
tons, or 20 per cent less than last
year. Walnut production, estimat
ed at. 3600 tons, was down 49
per cent. The crop was exceeding
ly late, which together with the
shortage of labor and heavy No
vember rains resulted in an es
timated 500 tons not being har
vested. .

Filbert Price
Control Urged
Growers j Uleet Called,
Portland Wednesday
- To Discuss Union
, To discuss the future of the
filbert Industry a committee of
filbert growers has called a, din
ner meeting at the Imperial hotel
in Portland. Wednesday,, for, alt
northwest filbert growers.
Claude ii Sersanous, who heads
the committee composed of C" E.
Grelle andsFred E. CSiambers cf
Eugene, will preside at the ses
sion.; i Sernsanous : says, "We ; are
calling . the growers together , to
startle them from the complacency
they; now enjoy with high prices
which' cannot possibly be ; main
tained under the present un-uni-fied
filbert marketing system. j
, Tilbert -growers are; now -en-Joying
an unearned paradise. The
high prices are due to a complete
shutdown of European imports.
Formerly we imported as high as
12,000 tons, of filberts. Now we
are reaping profits under the un
healthy situation of Crying to fill
a 12,000 ton US demand with a
5000 ton northwest filbert produc
tion. I f
"At the present time we are
operating on a poor policy that
is shrinking the ultimate demand
while we are increasing produc
tion. This is getting us into bad
habits which will prevent us from
knowing how to expand .our mar
kets when we need to do so.
"Right now the filbert market
ing situation is so disorganized
that it is impossible to do any
thing about expanding markets.
There are three cooperatives and
five or six 'independents all with
divergent interests active in the
marketing field. This -is respons
ible for a duplicity of brokerage
setups with sometimes five or six
brokers haphazardly covering one

, "If our filbert production keeps
increasing at its present pace and
if after the war we again import
from Europe, it is easy to see
what will happen; to filbert prices
when the supply outgrows the de
mand," points out Sersanous. u
Sersanous , and j his committee
feel that filbert growers must now

situation that is Douna to come.

With the new congress convening

that as matters' now, stand, with
the republicans 'holding 208 seats
to 222 for the democrats, control
of legislation in the house might
easily be taken over by a com
bination of republicans and dis
satisfied democrats. The demo
crats are somewhat . more com
fortably fixed in the senate, where
their majority is larger.
The schism between several
prominent: democrats and the
White House dates back to the
Labor day message in which Mr.
Roosevelt told congress in effect
fYou do it or I wi" in calling
for anti-inflationr .legislation.
