Graze Fee Hikes
Congressman Al UUman said
in Washington last week hiking
grazing fees across the board
for the use of federal lands "is
just not the way to do it".
Ullman said that for several
years he has been urging the
Bureau of Land Management
and the Forest Service to
establish a system that allows
selective fee increases where
they might be justified.
"An increase in grazing fees
should be related to the use of
particular land and the man
agement costs necessary to
keep that land productive,"
Ullman said.
He said a straight, across-the-board
increase would be harm
ful to Oregon.
Winter Wheat SeecKnss Up
Winter Wheat acreage seeded in Oregon for 1973 harvest is
estimated at 990,000 acres, an increase of. 15 percent over 1972
seedings and 35 percent above the 1971 crop, according to the
Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service.
Winter Wheat production in Oregon during 1973 is forecast at
38,610,000 bushels, based on the December 1 farmer reported
condition of wheat stands. This compares with the 1972 production
of 35,190,000 bushels and the 1971 crop of 32,016,000 bushels. The
Oregon crop was in generally good condition. Fall rains were
adequate for good stands in most areas although some of the earlier
plantings were dusted in.
Three-State Area Seedings up 7 Percent
Seedings of winter wheat in the three-State area of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho are expected to total 4,645,000 acres for the
1973 crop. This is 7 percent above the 1972 and 23 percent above
1971. Washington seedings, at 2,730,000 acres were up 4 percent.
Idaho seedings at 925,000 were up 10 percent. Based on the
December 1 condition of the crop, the 1973 winter wheat production
for the three-State area is forecast at 196,700,000 bushels, compared
with 188.205,000 bushels in 1972 and 178,108,000 in 1971.
Nationally, winter wheat seedings are up 1 percent.

Coyote Relief Asked
Agriculture officials and stockmen from 13 western states will
ask President Nixon for relief from serious coyote depredations in
the western half of the nation, which threaten to force many
sheepmen out of business.
"Some states reported losses of lamb crops as high as 17
percent", said Roy Nelson, administrator of the Oregon
Department of Agriculture's Livestock Division, who represented
the state at the Denver, Colorado, meeting of the Western
Association of State Departments of Agriculture on December 14.
Nelson stated that the meeting was called because of widespread
coyote damage in the region. Committees were formed to ask the
President for federal funds to control the predator and to work
toward a controlled use of toxicants in the program which are
consistent with requirements of the federal Environmental
Protection Agency.
Nelson said all states reported an increase in losses to coyotes
since use of toxicants in their control was curtailed by presidential
edict.
"We all agreed that toxicants are the most merciful means of
keeping the coyote population down", Nelson continued.
"Certainly they afford a better chance of instant death to the
animal than slow death from trapping or wounding from gunfire",
he said.
"While aerial gunning of coyotes has been reported effective in
areas of flat terrain, it is almost useless in mountain areas where
many sheep are grazed."
According to Nelson, several states reported coyotes to be
running packs this year, rather than running singly or in pairs. This
means coyotes are having difficulty in finding food and explains

Oregon group suggests that such animals be identified by a hip
brand of "92A", the Oregon identification number, and isolated
from other horses in their area.
According to Dr. Glenn B. Rea, state veterinarian, this highly
infectious disease has no known cure and, despite the fact that
Oregon has had little experience with it, it is advisable to identify
reactors nationwide to protect the horse population.
The committee learned that Anaplasmosis researchers have
identified a cross infection between cattle and blacktail deer.
Anaplasmosis is an anemic condition which may be transmitted by
ticks. Members were told that mule deer apparently are not
carriers of the disease, but that migration habits of blacktail deer
pose a potential threat to herds in certain portions of Oregon.
Also under discussion was the loss of sheep markets in Canada
due to the presence of Blue Tongue in Oregon. Oregon would like
Canada and other states to recognize, as it does, that Blue Tongue
is present almost everywhere and does not deserve the restriction
being placed upon it.
The committee decided that hereafter only reports of suspected
reactions to brucellosis ring tests will be distributed to herd
owners, since the former practice of circulating negative reports
made no contribution to the brucellosis disease control program.
The decision will be reconsidered if herd owners object to dropping
the neg-vl.: reports.
Finally, the committee was informed that a cooperative
state-federal swine brucellosis validation program is underway
and that individual herds validated in 1973 will count toward
validation of the state without retesting of breeding herds.
Nelson also said that for the first time cattlemen in several states
are reporting significant losses to coyotes.

Potato Exports Goal
Oregon, Washington and Idaho moved a step closer to opening
markets in the Orient for processed potato products from these
three states in late December with the formal formation of the
Pacific Northwest Potato Export Committee.
The Committee will be composed of a representative from the
potato commissions of each of the three states and three advisory
processor members. The latter will be selected at the annual
meeting of the Northwest Food Processors Association in Portland
in January and must include at least one dehydrator and one from
frozen foods.
Representing the commission on the committee are Bob Skiles,
Nampa, of the Idaho Potato Commission, who was named
chairman of the committee; Walt LePage, Pasco, Washington
Potato Commission, elected vice-chairman; and Isao Kameshige,
Ontario, Oregon Potato Commission. Jay Glatt, administrator of
the Agricultural Development Division of the Oregon Department
of Agriculture will serve as the committee's coordinator.
The committee will work on market promotion and market
access problems for processed potato products. Emphasized in the
promotion directed at institutional chefs, rapid food service people
and the consumer, will be the superior quality of Pacific Northwest
potatoes, which has resulted in this region being the primary potato
processing area.
Aimed at expanding markets will be the potato industry's
participation in the Pacific Northwest Food Show planned for
Tokyo this coming April and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Foreign Agriculture Service sponsored hotel and restaurant shows
next spring in Tokyo, Hong Konc and Singapore.
The committee will provide a food technician for these shows.
The technician will demonstrate uses and preparation of processed family in 1887 died in Corvallis
potato products and emphasize the fact that uniform quality Uec- 26 at tne age of 90
products will soon increase efficiency and be more economical.
The committee will also be involved in working out problems of
market access. Nontariff entry restrictions have long been of great
concern to Pacific Northwest food processors.
Japan is indicating an interest in liberalization of some of its
entry requirements that would have an effect on processed potato
products. Relaxation of these requirements could also be helpful in
marketing of other little known frozen or precooked food products
from this region.
The committee has a thorough understanding and technical
knowledge of the potato industry, which will be useful in working
with U.S. State Department personnel when making contacts with
officials of foreign countries related to easing entry requirements
of processed foods.
Commenting on goals of the committee, Glatt sees its
promotional work for processed potatoes as indirectly leading the
way for opening up markets for other frozen and precooked food
products from the Pacific Northwest, particularly frozen
vegetables.
He points out that one will naturally follow the other and says that
the planned use of containers for shipment of potato products will
mean unused space in the container can be filled by other
processed foods, resulting in making it economically feasible for
overseas shipments of minimum initial orders.
