Soil Condition
Excellent
in
Valley Area
By Lillie L- Madsen
Farm Editor, The Statesman
"It's working up good," is the
comment of scores of farmers who
, have been preparing the soil and
seeding their fall crops in re
cent weeks frequently between
showers. Over and over fanners
have been commenting this fall,
that the soil is in excellent condi
tion for working.
Reports from throughout the
state are that fall seeding Is now
well advanced. Dryland pastures
re again green and sheep and
cattle, held through the summer.
re fattening up. j '
Harvests are being completed
with walnuts, filberts, apples and
pears. Completed reports on pro
duction of prunes in the northwest
how a total of 95,500 tons on
fresh . basis. While this is about
double the output of the same ter
ritory in 1950, it is still well be
low the 1949 crop. Late spring
frosts were mainlv held responsi
for the relatively light crop
produced this year, altthough in
some districts trees have not yet
overcome the severe winter dam
aged 1949-50. -r
Aside from -sizes averaging a
little smaller than usual, the west
ern Oregon crop of prunes was
f quite, good quality.
Dried prunes, which some years
go made up the great majority
of all processed prunes in the
northwest, fell to. about 5,100 tons
this year. This is somewhat above
the mount dned last year, but
gain well below the 1949 output
o 9.400 tons dried prunes. On the
other hand California dried more
than 175,000 tons of prunes in
1951.
Oregon's potato crop is down
this year about one-fourth less
than last year and one-sixth less
than the last five year agerage.
A check on early plantings here
In the Willamette valley show that
more wheat is being planted in
this so-called non-wheat grow-
tnt area, than has been planted
for some years. Farmers who have
grovm considerable barley in re
cent years, report they are seed
ing winter wheat this fall.
Most of the fallgrass and pasture
- planting was completed this week.
After the middle of the month,
pasture seeding of grasses is. not
considered safe,
The filbert crop, pretty well
harvested, is a little below early
eeasow estimates. Harvesting of
wmlnuts is well underway.
Hill farmers are reporting that
rams came, in fine for the straw

Army Rebuked
For 'Classifying'
Phone Numbers
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 -V
enator Knowland (R-Cahf) to
day criticized the army for classi
fying as "restricted" ( secret) a
list of telephone numbers issued
ai ine xaita coherence in 1945.
Knowland said in a iaiab mnvh
that he once asked the army for
a copy or the list carrying the
xaua phone numbers of the vari
ous delegates attending th mn
ference. Much later, he said h
got a letter from the armv &avinc

The letter was marked "restrict

finally received it. Knowland said.

speech, he had called it an "ex

it, giving secret classification to
documents remote from national
security.
Mayor G

VANCOUVER, B.O, Oct 20 -
(CP)- . Princess Elizabeth and
Prince Philip were all sympathy
for Mayor Fr$d Hume today. He
met the royal visitors with his
right arm in a sling. He broke it
Thursday during a royal event
rehearsal. :
Princess Elizabeth was r resent
ed with! a sterling silver nimrh
bowl by the city of Vancouver.
George Grtramond, 59-year-old
native of Edinburgh, Scotland,
was the engraver. It is a bowl of
snun silver with the skvline of
Vancouver engraved on its sur
face. ' j - '
' f
Practically the whole of Van
couver's police force was on royal
tour duty. There was one jarring
note. Direction of the royal pro
cession by police radio was in
terrupted by a holdup alarm from
a bank. But the all-clear came
within a few minutes. It was a
false, alarm.'
Many of the people who came
to see tne royal couple were an
noyed by the flags waved by spec
tators. .?' ' - . . - -
Most of the small Union Jacks
carried a label: "Made In occupied
Japan' 7
7 ;
As the procession rounded a
corner a little boy" waved his flag
with might and main until he saw
their royal highnesses and then
with a voice containing just a
mite of disappointment, he said to
his mother:-
"But I thought Santa Claus had
white whiskers."
The Princess wardrobe has been
kept such a well-guarded secret
that Vancouver inadvertently
pulled a boner with the bouquet
presented at city hall.
The bouquet was an arrange
ment of purple orchids and ste-
phanotis. The princess was wear
ing striking cherry red.
Women in the crowd said the
purple orchids clashed horribly.

Northwest's
Grain Shipment
Said Rising
SEATTLE, Oct 20-P-The Pa
cific Northwest advisory board
said today grain shipments in the
Pacific northwest, as reflected in
freight car loadings, were higher
during the first nine months of
this year than at any time since
1944.
F. T. Westmeyer, secretary, said
heavy export commitments caused
the rise.
Car loadings of grain in the
area served by the board totaled
64,808 through September. Ship
ments in the same period last
year were 43,543 cars.
Westmeyer said car loadings of
logs also were up this year over
last, despite critical fire weather
which caused frequent closure of
logging operationos through the
summer.
Fruit shipments were down
somewhat because of a light ap
ple crop. j ,

Rain Welcomes
Princess
to
Vancouver
VANCOUVER, B. O, Oct 20-
(CP)-The rain felL but it didn't
wet down Vancouver's welcome
for its; royal guests.
A soaking, rain was showering
down f during the ' afternoon as
Princess . Elizabeth and Prince
Philip ; went through the city
streets. It was the first time they
had run into rain for a parade on
their transcontinental tour. .
But the crowds huddled in slick
ers, or standing bareheaded, gave
the royal pair the warmth of re
ception for which this bustling
"Gateway to the Orient is noted.
There were between 300,000 and
400,000 lining' about 20 miles of
sidewalks for the different drives
of the royal pair through the sea
port city, some dry and some wet
at various times. It was just cloudy
and mildly cool in- the morning
for the arrival, and then the rain
came f along , for the afternoon
doings.
For 1 the royal pair, it was a
quieter reception than they had
received at Calgary, the last big
city where they visited Thursday.
Here, the people were boisterous
and happy, but they were strung
out more over the miles of route
rather: than Jammed into single
points.
i A . broken-armed . mayor wel
comed them. Mayor Fred Hume
had his right arm in a sling when
he did the honors at city halt He
had fallen during a rehearsal for
the lacrosse game the pair saw
tonight
; After the mayor's presentation
of a silver flower bowl to Eliza
beth and Philip, they " almost
walked out of city hall without, it.
