The department of agri culture estimates the production of these seeds at 249,445,000 pounds of clean seed, compared with 121,445,000 pounds in 1941 and the average of 76,301,200 pounds. The 1942 production of each winter cover crop seed may be larger than that of 1941, with the prospective production com pared with that of last year in percentages as follows: Aus trian Winter peas, 355 per cent; hairy vetch, 115 per cent; com mon vetch, 113 per cent; Wil lamette vetch, 164 per cent; Hungarian vetch, 450 per cent; purple vetch, 226 per cent, com mon ryegrass, 125 per cent; per ennial ryegrass, 122 per cent; and crimson clover, 154 per cent. Increased production of each winter cover crop seed is attrib uted both to expansions in acre age, averaging 35 per cent greater than in 1941, and to larger yields. Compared with the 5-year average, the acreage of each kind this year is very much larger but yield per acre, except for Austrian Winter peas, is below average, although the decrease is very small for Hun garian vetch, perennial ryegrass and-crimson clover. Of the estimated 131,990,000 pounds of Austrian Winter peas produced this year Oregon is ex pected to have; 71,000,000 pounds (30,000,000 pounds in 1941) from 78,000 acres (48,000 acres in 1941; Washington, 33 ouu,uuu pounds (1,000,000 in 1941) from 28,000 acres (1,000 in 1B41); Idaho, 19,490,000 (4,340,000 in 1941) from 21,000 acres (4,500 in 1941); California, 6,300,000 pounds (1,000,000 in 1941) from 9,000 acres (2,000 in 1941); and North Dakota, 1.600, 000 pounds (800,000 in 3941) from 1,400 acres (1,000 in 1941). Oregon production accounts for 28,000,000 pounds of the estimated U. S. total production (31,595,000 pounds) of hairy vetch seed this year, with the remainder in Washington (1, 600,000), Arkansas (1,225,000), and Michigan (770,000). Ore gon's acreage this year is esti mated at 125,000, compared with 120,000 in 1941. Of the 13,310,000 pounds of common vetch produced this year, Oregon has " 9,900,000 pounds and Washington 3,410,- 000 pounds, compared with 9,- 000.000 and 2,760,000 pounds, respectively, in 1941. Acreages in these states this year were 36,000 and 7,100. California will again furnish the bulk of the purple vetch. Production in that state is esti mated at 8,500,000 pounds (3,- 300,000 in 1941), compared with 1,100,000 pounds (900,000 in 1941) in Oregon and about 140, 000 pounds (110,000 in 1941) in Washington. Common and perennial rye grass production in Oregon is 25 per cent larger than in 1941 resulting from Increases in acre age and yield Because of frequent heavy rains nt and following harvest the production t crimson-clover seed in Orego.n fell much be low expectations, and is esti mated at 3,500,000- pounds' of clean seed (from 13,000 acres) compared with 2,030,000 pounds trom 7,000 acres) in 1941. The estimates for other states re main as reported on June 12, Willamette vetch shows a to tal of 8,800,000 pounds in 1942 in cleaned seed (5,360,000 in 1941), and Hungarian vetch 10, 800. 0Q0 pounds of cleaned seed as to 2,400,000 in 1941. All of the production of both of these vetches is in Oregon.

Livestock Pass In Review Albany, Aug. 28 Despite cancellation of the state fair a'nd unusually exacting demands up on young people for harvesting of crops, more than 200 head of livestock passed in review Thursday at the annual fall Fu ture Farmers of America and Linn county 4H club livestock and fall crops show.

Ifor harvest. 67 per cent of the voting grow ers representing 66.8 per cent of the total production of those vot ing, approved the three year marketing program. Handlers of more than 71 per cent of the hops produced in the area during the 1941-42 season signed the agreement. These results exceed the minimum requirements for placing the program in opera tion. , . The new marketing agreement inaugurated by the agricultural marketing administration, at the request of the industry, replaces the agreement now in effect for Oregon, California and Washing ton which automatically termin ates September 1. The program will operate to limit supplies- to the quantity required by the domestic and ex port trade if such need arises during the next three years. Un der the new agreement the to tal amount of hops that may be handled by these states in inter state or foreign commerce dur ing the 1942-43 season is fixed at 41,000,000 pounds. Hop pro duction this year is not expected to exceed this amount but agri cultural marketing administra tion officials ppint out that the agreement will prove a safe guard for subsequent years. The first federal hop market ing agreement plan went into effect August 15, 1938, and the one just now approved is the third. The second went into ef feet August 5, 1940. The first two agreements covered periods of three years each, while this one has been extended to cover a period of three years. When the first agreement was adopted it followed a period of stagnation and low prices in the industry. The hop market, during 1937, the year preceding adoption of the first marketing agreement, was down to 10 and 11 cents a pound. In 1938 the market was up to 20 cents, in 1940 up to 26 cents and now hops are selling for as high as 65 cents a pound for the seeded and 75 cents for the seedless hops and the sky seems to be the limit, there be ing no ceiling price on hops However, it is conceded that war conditions and lack of imports have affected the market, but the approval of a third market ing program by the growers indi cates they credit such a program with a good share of the effect in stabilization of marketing conditions since 1937. The Hop Market Pacific coast hop markets con tinued to advance during the week ended August 26, the De partment of Agriculture reports A good demand from domestic dealers and industries and light offerings from growers were strengthening market influences. Prices quoted growers in the three west coast states advanced to new high points for the season and also for other recent years Prospects for smaller domestic supplies, reflecting a lighter carry-bver of old hops and a de creased current crop, together with interrupted imports from European hop producing areas, were additional strengthening factors. Uncertainty as to labor supplies and harvesting costs caused most growers to wait un til their outturns were actually baled before making further con tract sales. Stronger in Oregon Oregon markets gained fur ther strength and priced quoted growers for regular 1942 seeded hops were 2c to 3c per polmd higher as compared with the pre vious week. Some contract deals were reported made in this state during the past seven days at 623ic per pound, net growers, for regular 1942 seeded types. Trade reports also indicated that i dealers were offering round 65c per pound for options on this quality toward the close of the period. Since most Oregon seed less hops from the 1942 crop have already been contracted, ,quota,tions ?n thi quality are largely nominal with last quoted Yields have been very irregular, ranging from light in the Grants Pass district to fairly heavy in yards in the .Willamette Valley. Some Valley yards however, have shown disappointing yields. New Schedule On War Taxes Washington, Aug. 28 If) Sen ator Connally (D., Tex.), said today the treasury had proposed an over-all limitation on corpor ation levies by which no more than 80 cents could be taken in taxes out of each $1 of net in come. Linked with this proposal, Connally said, was a suggestion for post-war rebate and debt de duction of 20 per cent of the amount of taxes due from cor porations. This proposal was submitted, he said, in lieu of a previous treasury suggestion for the establishment of an over-all reserve fund of 15 per cent of net excess profits income. In proposing this new sched ule, Connally said that Randolph Paul, treasury general counsel, urged the committee to boost the combined total of normal and surtax levies on corporations from the 45 per cent previously approved by the house to 55 per cent and to retain the 90 per cent excess profits tax. The effect of the 80 per cent limitation, -.- Connally added, would be; to cut down to that level the amount of taxes that corporation would pay which had earnings sufficient to subject part of its income to the 90 per cent excess profits rate. This was looked upon as a re lief provision for war-swelled corporations which formerly had small earnings or were operating on a small invested capital basis.
