Wheat crop 7
below last vear
Oregon's 1977 wheat crop is
placed at 1,272,000 acres, 7 per
cent below last year. Winter
wheat estimated earlier at
1,200,000 acres is 4 per cent
less than 1976, but 4 per cent
above 1975.
Spring wheat is estimated at
72,000 acres, 40 per cent below
last year.
This early spring survey,
conducted by Oregon's Crop
and Livestock Reporting Ser
vice, determined that Oregon
farmers were going to plant
44,000 acres of corn, 8 per cent
less than last year; 140,000
acres of oats, 8 per cent more
than 1976; 190,000 acres of
barley, 6 per cent more than
last year; 10,500 acres of
sugar beets, 28 per cent below
1976; 1,060,000 acres of hay,
the same as last year; and
plant 58,500 acres of potatoes,
11 per cent less than 1976.
The purpose of the inten
tions report is to assist
growers in making further
changes in their acreage plans
if it appears desirable. The
acreage actually planted in
1976 may turn out to be larger
or smaller than indicated by
reason of weather conditions,
price changes, and other in
puts, such as gasoline or diesel
fuel, fertilizer, labor supply,
the agricultural balance of ;
trade, and the effect -of this
report itself on farmers' ac-:
tions, R M. Pallesen, Agri-,
cultural Statistician , in ;

Consumerism series
prepared for students
A slide series on consum
erism has been prepared for
use in high school personal
finance courses, Wanda Mer
rill, administrator of the
Consumer Services Division of
the state Department of Com
merce, said today.
The series was prepared
jointly by the division and the
state Department of Educa
tion. Oregon has a new require
ment that a student must have
130 hours of personal finance
before graduation from high
school.
The slide series will be
distributed by the Department
of Education on a loan basis as
requests are received.
The personal finance re
quirement of 130 hours can be
met in such classes as math,
social studies, and health, so
many teachers are involved in
consumer education.
