Farm Efficiency
Always Essential
Says F. L. Ballard
"Why make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before?"
is a frequent question in these days
of lost export markets and conse
quent surpluses of wheat, cotton,
pork products, and tobacco, to say
nothing of thousands of acres of
fruits decaying on the ground.
Answering this question in a recent
radio discussion over KOAC, F. L.
Ballard, vice-director of the exten
sion service at Oregon State college,
pointed out the difference between
adjusting production by means of
substitute crops or reduced acreage
as contrasted with inefficient por-
duction on the same acreage.
"In none of these federal or state
adjustment plans has there ever been
the suggestion that a fanner should
grow less wheat per acre, or produce
less pork per acre, or less butterfat
per cow," Ballard pointed out. "The
objective has been less acres of wheat,
and, at times, fewer hogs, or even
fewer cows, which is very different
from less production per unit.
"In determining most profitable
management the question is how
many acres should be devoted to this
crop or that crop. If it appears that
a temporary reduction in tonnage
should be the objective, whether
this movement is led by the federal
government or by the specific hv
dustry itself, the thing to do is oh
vious that is, reduce the acres but
never the yield per acre. Oregon
farmers understand this principle
and so, under both low prices and
good prices, they endeavor to im
prove their management plans by
increasing the average production
per unit, thereby insuring lowest
production costs, which in turn ac
crues to the benefit of both pro
ducer and consumer.
"Oregon agriculture has led in ad
justing to more profitable and
adaptable crops," Ballard continued.
"On many thousands of acres, in
stead of wheat we now have grass
seed, thus adjusting acreage to pro
duction of an imported product in
stead of a surplus export crop. Like
wise we are selling canned and fro
zen small fruits and vegetables in
stead of so many bulky apples and
prunes.
"Despite these state-wide adjust
ments, the land use management
within a farmer's own fence is still
of greatest importance under con
ditions obtaining at this time and as
far into the future as can be foreseen."
Mrs. Bonnie Cochran has receiV'
ed word from Mrs. Newt O'Hara at
Klamath Falls, where the family is
now located, saying they like Kla
math Falls fine but miss their Mor
row county friends.
Hanson Hughes is absent from
his grocery store this week on bus
