Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller Buried Thursday Goals For Farm Production Coming Wheat Market Objectives Remain Same “ While changes have been made in the program for the coming year they represent progressive develop- nent of the provisions of 1936 and <937 and are in line with the basic objectives of the Soil Conservation ind Domestic Allotment act,” says Mr. Ballard. “These objectives are stability of farm income, soil con servation and maintenance of nor mal supplies. “Oregon farm ers will have op portunity to become familiar with ?uch changes as have been made at a series of county and community meetings being planed for the near future. A state committee meeting ?allwl immediately upon the return of the Oregon representatives will make final plans, for the series.’’ •National, state, county, and in dividual farm goals awill be estab- ’ished for soil depleting crops and for soil conserving crops and prac tices under the revised plan. Pay- mets for individual farms will be made for keeping within «oil de pleting goals and for attaining soil conserving goals. If the form er goal is exceeded or the latter is not reached, payments will be de creased proportionately. County goals will be based on average acreages in the past, ad justed when necessary to trends in production and^on the recommenda tions of district and county ag ri cultural planning committees. In each county the agricultural con servation committee- will establish for each farm soil depleting and soil conserving crop goals. Specific crops and practices applying to these goals will correspond in gen eral to those approved for the 1937 program , with such changes as may be found desirable in particular states or districts. Weaker In East The general wheat m arket tu rn er weaker influenced by beneficial rains in Argentine and Australia, increased offerings of native wheats in Europe, a continued liberal movement of Russian grain and ad vancing freights, which tended to reduce European takings of North American wheat. Li^ht to heavy r®ins benefited the/ crop in the southern part of the Argentine ifrheat area but moisture is still in adequate in the more northern sec tions. Heavy rains were received also in parts of Australia but pre cipitation was light and furnished little relief in the main wheat pro ducing sections. New wheat moved to m arket in increased quantities in most European countries partic ularly those of the Lower Danube. Black Sea shipments totaled nearly 3,000 000 bushels, including 1,280,- OOObushels from Russia. Charter- ings of boat space by^ Russian ship- ptys has been active and offerings were plentiful. Recent sharp advances in ocean freights have tended to reduce oversea shipments and European takings o f ; Southern Hemisphere and North American wheat have been light. Only 561,000 bushels of wheat were exported from Argen tine and 611,000 bushel« from A us tralia during the week. Last week’s shipments from North America totaled only 2,10b,000 bushels- in cluding some United States wheat, compared with about 2,688,000 bushels for the corresponding week last season when shipments were entirely from Canada.United States exports of wheat from the first of July through the second week of September, have totaled 7,445,000 bushels this season.
