Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, March 28, 1957 Page 6 Farmer Planting Plans For 1957 Show Crop Cuts Farmery plan to plant the small est acreage of spring crops since World War I, reports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State col lego. She says the way things look now, total planted acreage of 59 major crops across the na tion may be 12 million acres le9S than last year. Each spring, the U. S. depart ment of agriculture crop report ing board asks the nation's far mers what they plan to grow, and how many acres they expect to plant to each crop. After check -Inrr nvpr the board's latest re port, Mrs. Horrell says it. looks like farmers will piani aooui une fifth less sDrinz wheat, make mnriewt nits in com and oat acre ages, and keep hay acres about the same, pi.mnert ncreaee Increases In elude early pottoes up a little, barley up about one-tentn, ana snrr-hnm uD almost one-fourth. Tn nrnrrnn the TeDOrt ShOWS farmers plan to increase their hay acreage about 1 percent, hnots 7 nercent. oats 9 nerrent. and barley 10 percent The state's farmers plan to cut their late summer and fall potato acreages about 3 percent, corn 5 nercent. and have Indicated a enriner wheat acreaee cut of " 1 " almost 35 nercent. However, the acreage cuts do nnt necessarilv mean agrlcuitu ral nroduction will show a Simi lar nit. Mrs. Horrell said. Modern machinery, use of fertilizer, and new "know-how" nave neipea farmers up yields per acre In recent years. Plans announced now by far mers may not turn out that way either, Mrs. Horrell added. Price changes, available labor, changes In government programs, wea ther, and farmers reaction to the announced plans of other farm ers, can all change the final pic ture. CAPITAL PARADE (Continued from Pge 1) Consideration of the bill Is chuck-full of politics. Just now It looks like the five Republican members of the nine member Senate Agriculture Com. mittee will hold the bill In the committee until adjournment of the Legislature. That would mean the fair commission would remain and Governor Robert D. Holmes would appoint new com missioners, most probably all Democrats. The governor would prefer to have the Senate bill passed. Any one of the five Republicans on the Senate Agriculture Commit tee could join the four Democrats of that committee and send the bill to the Senate with a "do Pass" recommendation and then join the 15 Democrats in the Senate to pass the bill. Over In the House it would pass with a two to one majority. There is no emergency clause on the bill consequently It would not become a law until 90 days after the governor signs It. Either way the bill goes Gover nor Holmes will be happy. "PIGS IS PIGS' At a hearing of the State Fair bill a swine raiser from Southern Oregon complained that there were not enough hogs at what he called "the Republican Controlled State Fair". Senator C. D. Came ron, Grants, Pass, one of the five Republicans on the committee who are fighting the bill, as sured the complaint that the in cident was caused by the ex treme shortage of Republican hogs in Oregon.
