The Capitol Journal, Salem, Oregon Winter Wheal Plantings Show Big Decrease Washington, Dec. 21 W The ag riculture department reported today the Indicated production of 1939 winter wheat as 485,000,000 bush el, compared with 686,637,000 bush el produced this year, and 546,396. 000 the 1927-36 ten-year average production. The forecast of production, the department said, was baaed on the past relationship between he Decem ber 1 condition and the yield per seeded acre, with some allowance for the probable effect of weather con ditions during the past summer and fall. The area seeded to winter wheat was reported as 46,173,000 acres, com pared with 56,355,000 a year ago, 57,656.000 two years ago, and 45.- 644,000 acres the 1926-35 ten-year average acreage. The condition of winter wheat on December 1 wag 77 per cent of normal crop, compared with 76 year ago and 80 the 10-year average. Abandonment of acreage for the 1938 crop was 11.8 per cent of the seedings, compared with 18.5 for the 1937 crop and 18.2 per cent In the ten years, 1026 to 1935. The acreage seeded to winter wheat this year and the condition of the crops on December 1, by principal producing states, included Montana 1.265,000 and 85: Idaho 745.000 and 87; Colorado 1,436,000 and 82; Washington 1,202,000 and 78; Oregon 649,000 and 87; California 706.000 and 76. The estimate was baaed on reports showing that farmers had planted about 18 per cent less land to win ter wheat than a year ago. Because of a near record surplus of wheat. the agriculture department had asked wheat farmers to reduce their plantings about 30 per cent. The prospective winter wheat crop was lower man normal for the acre age planted, the department said. because 01 poor condition of the crop in the central plains region hit bv drought and other unfavorable wea ther. The board said lower wheat prices also had contributed to the reduction in planting. $12,000 Fee Unreasonable San Bernardino, Calif.. Dec. 21 UP) Comedian W. C. Field, char ged $12,000 for a month's medical treatment, doesnt have to pay be cause the amount "shocks the cons cience" the state anDelate court ruled today. The court reversed a $12,000 Jud. ment granted by Superior Judge O. K. Morton of Riverside to Dr. Jesse Citron, who treated Fields 'when he was ill with pneumonia In 1936. Judge Morton erred, the appellate court said, when he refused to hear cross-examination as to the Hemet, Calif., physician's earnings and his usual charges In such cases. Fields' Income in 1936 was $82,000 and he was billed on his ability to pay and me value or the services rendered. "The measure of the value of services Is not the value to the pa tient out the reasonable value of the services in the community where they are rendered, by the persons who rendered them," the court said. "The very large Judgment must shock the conscience until supported by more substantial evi' dence. A new trial was ordered. ea Canning at Astoria Terminated Astoria, Ore..

Kung said today the $25,000,000 credit advanced to China by the United States export-Import bank would be used generally for tne oeveiopment of Industry and communications in Chinas wide veloped western provinces.

German Press Accuses Ickes Of Seeking War Berlin, Dec. 31 (A Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Ooebbels' newspaper, Der Angrlff. accused Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes today of seeking war and the dis ruption of relations between the United States and Germany. "Instead of keeping order In his own land, he conducts anti-Ger man agitation which is aimed at nothing else than war," the paper said of the United States official, who declared during i radio sym posium November 14, referring to nazl anti-Jewish violence, that "the time comes when neither man nor nation can live without the decent respect of their fellowmen." Ickes Is frankly the evil spirit present In American policy," Der Angrlff said. If lt Is now represented In Wash ington that Ickes spoke as a pri vate person, we must ask: What shall we think of a democracy In which a minister never Is In agree ment with the chief of suite? "In any case, we are of the view point that the president waa not without responsibility when one of his cabinet members makes that kind of agitation and the speech finds its way to the public and gives the press an opportunity to attack "Or shall we believe that President Roosevelt Is In political isolation? The newspaper added that the viewpoint Ickes spoke without au thority "seems childish to us." (The national Zeltung of Essen, the newspaper of Field Marsha Hermann Wilhelm Goering, direct ed an editorial attack against Sec retary Ickes on November 16, and against "concessions of the Ameri can government to American Jew ry") Conser Director 01 Western AAA Washington.

Sheep Diseases Organisms Found Corvallis, Dee. 31 (! Four bac terial organisms causing unsolved sheep diseases In Oregon have been isolated by veterinarians of the Oregon state college experiment station. The studies have been carried on under a special appropriation made two years ago for disease in vestigation of range livestock. The four causes Isolated in Ore gon for the first time have been responsible for one kind of stui lamb disease, a pseudo-tuberculosis disease closely associated with lunger" disease, the "sudden death" disease of Curry county lambs and the black disease of lambs. Study of the Curry county lamb diseases resulted in obtaining anti toxin from England, the use of which cut losses to one-seventh the former figure. Rapid progress Is also ex pected In controlling other diseases now that their cause has been de termined, said J. N. Shaw, college specialist.
