Experiments Are
Inspected; War
Needs Developed
Every one of the 267 projects of
the research program of the Ore-
gon agricultural experiment sta
tion branches has been completely
'readjusted and geared to meet war
needs, according to William A.
' Schoenf eld, director of the station,
and Ralph S. Besse, assistant di
rector. Those not' contributing to
the war effort have been dropped
or discontinued temporarily, un
less "by so doing past findings
would be rendered useless. Other
projects of immediate emergency
use have been added-and others
expanded.
Among expanded projects are
those dealing with dehydration
and other forms of food process
ing. One example of such research
is that being conducted at the co
operative seafood laboratory in
Astoria, where at the request of
. the military authorities, a high
protein canned . product suitable
for emergency rations is being
worked out making use of fish
formerly little used for human
food.
' Another emergency: wartime
project is the testing of rubber
bearing plants in this state. One
result already is the finding that
Klamath county irrigated soils
have produced on a trial basis at
the rate of 7000 pounds of Russian
dandelion root per acre, averaging
2.5 per cent rubber. As Ihis crop
takes less than a year from seed
time to harvest, it may prove
practical source of rubber during
the war.

Buying Wave
Lifts Wheat
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-(ff-Afiesh
wave of buying Thursday lifted
wheat prices as much as 2 cents
a bushel at one stage to the high
est quotations -for more than five
years. In fact, when May and
July contracts sold above 41.41 j
they came within 4 cents of the
top figures chalked on board of
trade blackboards since 1929.
uiner grams snared the up
turn. Corn futures were the high
est since July and oats the best
of the season.
Buying of mills and profession
al traders, partly reflecting ' re
newed flour business, including
some sales to government agen
cies, accounted for the new wheat
price surge, which put quota
tions at levels 10 to almost 20

Taylor Favors
Support Prices
. 9 Oregon Vegetables
On List ; Container
Problem Eased
Supported prices' td growers for
nine vegetables is a major feat
ure of the government's 1943
canning vegetable program, re
ports Robert B. Taylor of Adams,
chairman of Oregon's USDA war
board, whose organization is con
tacting canners and growers pre
paratory to recommending support
prices .for Oregon. - Specific sup
port prices, Taylor said, will be
established for snap beans, corn,
peas, tomatoes, ' beets and carrots
for t canning, - dehydrating and
quick-freezing; pumpkin and
squash for canning, and cabbage
for kraut, - -
These prices will be maintained
through certification of processors
who agree by contract to pay not
less than the specified prices to
growers, Taylor explained. The
program is similar to the canned
tomato and pea expansion pro
gram in operation last year.
Ceiling prices at processor lev
els will be -established on the ba
sis of grower support prices. A
higher price will be paid certified
canners for government pur
chases. Taylor emphasized that
the government will not guaran
tee prices to growers, but will I
give every grower an opportunity
to contract with a canner who wul
pay the approved prices. ,
Government purchases in . 1943
for; the armed forces and for ship
ment to allies Under the lend-
lease program will take more than
half . of - the canned ' vegetables,
nearly all of the dehydrated veg
etables, and substantial quanti
ties, of - quick-frozen vegetables.
Taylor has ; been Informed.' ? If
production sought under the pro
gram is . obtained, about 70 per
cent of the canned vegetables con
sumed by civilians during' recent
years will be available lor their
use from the 1943 packs.
Besides price supports for grow
ers and processors, the vegetable
program also includes orders al
locating tin, rubber and glass con
tainers to obtain maximum use of
critical materials, price; ceiling re
gulations, and a program to assist
in securing needed supplies of la
bor.
Oregon First in Beets
Oregon now ranks first among
the: states in . yield of cannery
beets per acre and about fourth
in total tonnage produced, says A.
G. ; B. Bouquet, : vegetable crops
specialist at OSC in a revised
station circular of information
NoJi 283, dealing with the control
of. canker in table beets.
The new circular, written in
collaboration with Dr. W. I Pow
ers, head of the soils department,
gives full details Jf or the use of
boron in controlling 'beet canker.

Berg's , committee . is gathering
facts on how to increase 'hairy

southern Oregon ; how to i cope
with the hairy vetch weevil, which
is cutting down production in the
Willamette valley, and how to in

requested by the government. The
committee is also investigating
