Thun., Mar. 21. 1963 Output SHU High '63 Crop Acreage Outlook Small Again WASHINGTON Tha 1SC3 ; crop will be grown on the sec- -end smallest planted acreage of record. The Agriculture Department estimated Wednesday that this .'year's total field crops would be planted on 308 million acres, per cent greater than the record low planted acreage of 302 mil lion acres In 1982. The department calculated the total crop acreage at 3.8 million acres as a projection from a de tailed report on farmer s plant ing intention for 17 major crops, Farmers' plans as of March Indicated the 17 crops would be planted on 263 million acres, per cent more than last year's record low for the same crops. The record low planted acre' age last year developed into a record low harvested acreage of 288 million acres. Even so, the total all-crop output last year tied the record production of 1960. This would seem to indi cate that a total crop grown on an acreage 2 per cent larger would result in that much larg er production. This can be de termined, however, only as the crop season unfolds. More Corn The department said farmers indicated they would plant al most 70 million acres to corn this year. This is 3.8 million acres or S.7 per cent more than last year. Given a normal growing sea son. average yield plus allow. ance for trend, the intended acreage should produce a crop of 3,946,000,000 bushels. A crop this size would be 8 per cent larger than last year and 1 per cent more than the 1960 record, Growers' plans were reported during the sign-up period for the 1963 feed grain and wheat programs. Planting intentions for corn, sorghums, spring bar ley and spring wheat may be altered by later decisions on participation in the feed grain and wheat programs. Drop In Oilseeds At present, feed grain acreage expected to be 2 per cent give a net drop of less than 1 per cent in oilseeds. Of the spring planted crops corn shows the largest prospec tive increase 3.8 million acres followed by soybeans, sor ghums and spring wheat with increases of about a million acres each. The planned total acreage for the four feed grains corn, oats barley and sorghum is 128.5 million acres. This is 2 per cent more than in 1962 but 13 per cent smaller than the 1957-61 average. Oregon Farm Receipts Up On Livestock Group Clears Tax Proposal more than food grain acreage to Plantings Decline For Spring Wheat WASHINGTON Wl The Agri culture Department says spring wheat plantings are down in .Washington and Oregon because of a mild winter but up slightly in Idaho. Acreage of other crops In the Pacific Northwest is about the same as 1962, the department reported Wednesday. , Spring wheat acreage was list ed at 130,000 in Washington, down 40 per cent. Oregon's was Market Outlook Mixed in Oregon The 1963 outlook for Oregon grain, wool and seed prices is mixed according to the "Oregon Farm and Market Outlook" just published by Oregon State Uni versity. M. D. Thomas, OSU extension agricultural economist, points out that supports to grain mar ket prices provided by govern ment loans and agreements are being reduced in 1963 for all except oats, while direct pay ments to qualifying wheat, bar ley, corn and sorghum growers are being made to offset pos sible incomo reducing effects of these changes in loan rates. Economic forces that influ ence Oregon wool prices suggest a fairly strong market under tone In 1963 and higher average prices, notes Stephen C. Marks, OSU extension agricultural economist, in his wool outlook report. Cause for "some optimism" in Oregon's turf seed market situ ation is seen by Ray H. Teal, OSU extension seed and grain marketing specialist. In his re' port. Carryovers on July 1 this year should be smaller for most kinds of turf seeds than at the same time last year. 77,000, off 14 per cent. Idaho showed a gain of 6 per cent to 374,000 acres. Most wheat in the Northwest is winter seeded, so that when losses are light there is little replanting in the spring. The' estimated acreage for other key crops this year, and the percentage of last year s, respectively, included: . Barley Washington, 659,000 and 102; Oregon, 470,000 and 104; Idaho, 665,000 and 96. Dry beans Idaho, 109,000 and 87. Dry peas Washington, 173,- 000 and 95; Idaho 136,000 and 103. . Sugar beets Washington, 58,- 000 and 104; Oregon, 20,000 and 98; Idaho, 144,000 and 109. Potatoes, late summer and fall crops Washington, 39,000 and 98; Oregon, 35,500 and 95; Ida ho, 270,000 and 101. SALEM Ofl A bill to force Multnomah County's property tax assessment rate from 36 per cent down to 25 per cent has been approved for intro duction by the House Rules Committee. The bill is being introduced by the House Taxation Commit tee. At this stage of the session it must win approval of the Rules Committee to be intro duced. The Taxation Committee de cided to introduce the bill after its chairman, Rep. Richard Ey mann, D-Marcola, said he had not been able to get Multnomah County Assessor Joe Hawkins to appear before the committee. The committee wanted Haw kins to discuss the rate, which is the only one in the state not at 25 per cent of true cash value. Charles H. Mack, chairman of the State Tax Commission, said it appeared the proposed change in the rate would have cost Portland about $150,000 last year, in the assessment of the fixed millage levy that brings in $1 million a year for street lighting. Mack aaid Hawkins has been gradually bringing the ratio down. A GRANT DEAL is A GREAT DEAL MORE.

Preliminary estimates place Oregon's 1962 cash receipts from farm marketing at approxi mately $430 million, up 4 per cent from 1961 ind the second highest on record, she said. The total figure does not include direct government payments to farmers. Drawing upon U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture reports and other information, Mrs. Horrell pointed out that livestock ac counted for around $199 mil lion, up 2 per cent for the year. Crop receipts were boosted some 6 per cent to approximate ly $231 million. Oregon market ings were heavier last year and prices averaged higher. Last year s estimated total of $430 million was exceeded only in 1951, the record high year of livestock and livestock prod ucts receipts, sne noted. The record high for crops was in 1952. Oregon's farm sales started slowly in 1962, with the first four months below the same time in 1961. In May, however, the tide turned and each month except October saw sales re ceipts topping the same month year earlier, Mrs. Horrell pointed out. However, it is still not known how much Oregon farmers had left after paying their expenses, the economist stressed. To date, no information is available on 1962 production costs, but na tionally production expenses moved up 2 per cent, soaking up much of the gross gain, she stated.
