PAGE TEN WHEAT LOAN NEAR 59 CENTS BUSHEL IS GENERAL VIEW Federal Farm Officials Begin Drafting Details of , Pro gram Consider Export Subsidies As Help. WASHINGTON, July 13. Fed eral farm official began drafting do tail today of a wheat loan program, made mandatory by the forecast of a near-record crop. Although provisions will not .innounced for a few days. It was generally expected the loans would be about 59 cents a bush lei, the min imum allowed under the new crop control act. The maximum Is about 88 cents. The loans can be obtained by farm era who wish to store their wheat until prices Improve. They are re quired by law whenever the July esti mate of production exceeds normal domestic and export needs of about 700,000,000 bushels Surplus Is Problem. The federal crop reporters predict ed yesterday a yield of 867,103.000 bushels, only 41.000,000 bushels short of the record 19 IS crop. . H. R. Tolloy, agricultural adjust ment administrator, said that stor age of wheat under government loans waa not the only method the ad ministration expects to employ to combat the surplus problem. "We've got to export a lot of wheat." he said. . The administrator said that con alderatlon was being given, among others, to proposals to subsidize ex porta or the grain, but that no de clslon had been reached. Exports of 1037 wheat totaled about 85,000.00 bu&hels. Tolley said present prospect for exports during the next 13 month did not exceed loo.ooo.ooo bushels. A third step In the surplus re moval program, he explained, will be promulgation thla week ot a pro gram for a small wheat crop next year. Growers may be asked, he said, to plant only Bfl.OOO.ODO acres, compared with 70,600.000 seeded for this year's crop. Would Force Acreage Out. Farmers would have to abide by reduced acreage allotments In order to be eligible for wheat payments, which may total about $130 000.000. Whether the agriculture depart ment will have a corn surplus prob lem will be determined by weather conditions during the- next three weeks. The crop reporting board forecost a yield of 3.483,103,000 bush els. Officials said that If this esti mate waj borne out by the August report, it might be necessary to pro pose marketing quotas. If approved by two-thirds of the corn-belt producers to store a cer tain percentage of their crop or pay stiff penalty taxes. If harvest figures bear out the wheat forecast, the bread-grain sup ply for the next 13 months would be about 1,107,413.000 bushels." Includ ing an estimated surplus of 900,000. 000 bushels from last year. Thus a surplus of at least 417,000.000 bush els above normal needs Is Indicated, compared with the record of 878,000, 000 In 1033.

Tills oddity baffles the- visitors, but to Prof. Reimer It Is simply an example ot applied horticultural science. Most apple trees, the professor explains, are biennial bearers. They will have a bounteous crop one year and an exceedingly light crop the next. Reason Is that the fruit buds must start developing a year before production and when most apple trees are producing fruit they haven't GROUP TO START FETE ASHLAND, July 13.

So there are alternate years of big production. That was the case with Prof. Rei mer's apple tree. One year he'd have more apples than he could ure; the next year he wouldn't have enough. The professor got tired of this feast-and-f amine arrangement. So six years ago he stripped half the tree of all Its apples early In the season. The other half he left, alone. The stripped half was thus enabled to produce fruit buds for production the following year, Now everybody Is happy.

A visitor In the Rogua River val ley Is August E. Kern, who waa men tioned In a United Press feature story tn the Mall Tribune yesterday aa the designer of an apparatus used with a new type of surgery for the lengthening of lege shriveled by In fantile paralysis. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Kern la a guest of his father-in-law, H. O. Negaard of tho Rogue River orchard near Jackson ville. Mr. Kern has been publicized quite widely for his unusual work at the University of California hospital In San Francisco. In a feature article in the San Francisco Chronicle he was once described as a gnome who, Instead of making beautiful tops to gladden the hearts of children, twists steel and cuts leather and from them fashions grotesque things. These grotesque things, however, also "gladden the hearts of children and also of adults and, after all, they are beauteous things In their simplicity and efficiency," the Chron icle wrote of Mr. Kern. A 35-year-old Oerman-born artisan, Mr. Kern was kept from being a aur geon by the World war. Now he Is a brace maker and inventor of de CHEESE PLANT SITE ROGUE RIVER, July 13. (SpU With a site donated the Cooperative Dairy- Goat association by the city of Rogue River, plans are going ahead to establish a goat cheese factory there in the near future.

Now he la to be given almost un limited time to do the things he likes to do devising supports for twisted little bodies. Inventing and perfecting queer mechanical contrap tions to help surgeons do the thlngb they want to do. For seven years Mr. Kern has work ed In his little shop in the basement of the university hospital. One of his latest creations is an operating chair that can also be used as an op erating table. It la Intended to in crease the ease with which surgeonr may treat various parts of the pat lent. Mr. Kern works closely with phy sicians and surgeons. When they get blocked in their work for lack of a device peculiarly suitable to' their needs, they go to him. Usually he produces a contrivance that will do the work. That is his Job. A brace maker, Mr. Kern explained, must be able o take measurements, envision the type of device required and then design and manufacture it. He must have a knowledge of anat omy. It Is a gnome-like work but on it depends the success of much of mod ern surgery. COUNTY PAYS $34,473 .
