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.
