'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.

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

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.

Oregon farmers counted high
er cash receipU in 1962 with
aales up on both livestock and
crop products over 1961, reports
Elvera Horrell, Oregon State
University extension agricul
tural economist.
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.
