High Farm Output Asked For Again In Oregon Goals More Pigs and Peas, Less Wheat Seen In New Schedule Another year of high output from Oregon farms and ranches is called for in the state production goals for 1947, reports ' E. Harvey Miller, chairman of the state PMA com mittee. Total crop acres recom mended for 1947 are about the same as this year, but sharp adjustment are asked for some crops. The needs for meeting a strong domestic demand, for building re serves of some commodities and for sending some foods still badly need ed to war-devastated countries have resulted in the call for a high 1947 output, Miller, pointed out. This means that farmers are asked to defer for another year the return to peacetime patterns of prodncion. Final state goals which have been approved to date were listed as fol lows: Spring pigs, 25,000 sows to far row, 9 percent increase from the 23,000 in 1946. Rye, 38,000 acres, same as 1946. Sugar beets, 22,000 acres, up 10 percent from this year'r record of 20,000. Dry peas, 22,000 acres (8,000 smooth, 14,000 wrinkled), same as this year. Austrian peas, 25,000 acres, up 72 percent from this year's 14,500 acres. Crimson clover, 2,000 acres, down 13 percent from the 2,300 acres har vested in 1946. Hairy vetch, 55,000 acres, up 45 percent from this year's 38,000 acres. Common and Willamette vetch.

Common ryegrass, 80,000 acres, down 18 percent from this year's 89,000 acres. Wheat, 1,000,000 acres, down 8 percent from this year's 1,085,000 acres. Potatoes, 45,400 acres, down 13 percent from this year's 52,000 acres. Some of the final goals for fall- seeded crops differ in the percent age change from 1946 from the goals announced earlier before planting time. This represents revisions in 1946 production figures, as suggest ed acreages for 1947 remain un changed, Miller explained. Suggested state goals submitted by the department of agriculture for other crops and commodities will be considered by the Oregon USDA council within the next few weeks, the PMA chairman said. These Include dairy, livestock and poultry goals, barley, oats, hay, and hay and pasture crop seeds. Double Amputee Devises Sports Aids Y. Lt.ua AdaJaMntioo FhoM Wilfred G.

ROSEWALL IK oJaK Tilling with a Hundred Teams of Steel Iore power on the farm means more food t ; . more jobs. If a farmer had three teams of horses twenty-five years ago he was well equipped. Now, with over two million tractors and thousands of other power producers, most farmers command the equivalent of ; t I a HUNDRED TEAMS. Tisc use of their power, which can be packed into a few tons of steel, is enabling U.S. farmers to keep abreast of unprecedented food requirements. It is one of the secrets of national progress. Steel horsepower does more than produce bigger crops with less labor. It has released, for production of human food, millions of ucics once needed to feed horses and mules, and has created thousands of new jobs for town and city people who process and sell the increased harvests.' The benefits of fanning with steel are the result of teamwork between farmers and in. d us try. The fanner knows what he needs; in. dustry knows how to supply it at a price he can afford. This teamwork must continue if America is to remain a land of abundance. Farmers need still more power. The coun- try needs still more food. Uninterrupted in dustrial production will permit industry to catch up with the pent-up need for more farm power. American Iron and Steel Institute, 330 Fifth Avenue, New York 1, N.
