Is ta J pu3 I IUUUI IllUUbl L::'J.j p53 In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The government' invest ment in price-s upported wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and other SURPLUS larm commodities totaled $9,026, 600,000 (nine billion, 26 mil lion, 600 thousand dollars) on Februray 29 of this year. This was down more than 200 million from the previous month, chiefly because of hea vy sales of government-owned cotton (the cotton was sold at a loss, to get rid of it). lyHEAT, long the govern ' ' ment's prime surplus bug aboo, was the expensive item at $3,384,522,428. The govern ment owned 1,085,205,401 bu shels of it, worth $2,843,971, 928. Loans on 303,037,161 bu shels were valued at $540, 850,500. The corn investment (surplus) amounted to $2,744, 376,495. The cotton Inventory was 5.816.923 bales, worth $1,- 018,875.694. No cotton loans were reported because, under the curent cotton program, the government takes over virtually all choice cotton. WHAT is to say: - The government holds in its warehouses a little better than NINE BILLION DOL LARS worth of SURPLUS ag ricultural crops - chiefly wheat, corn, cotton and tobac co, none of which are grown to any extent in the State of Jefferson. Here's what it means: As long as this IMMENSE surplus remains in the hands of the government - subject to DUMPING at any moment when a change in voting re suited in a change of govern- ment policy-it will hang like a dark thundercloud over the agricultural markets. FARM surpluses aren't the only surpluses. For example: You've heard of the "stra tegic materials" stock piles. The theory is that we should In time of peace collect a big store of these strategic mater ials - including copper, lead, magnesium, tin, etc. - so that, when comes war, we'll have plenty of them on hand. It is quite a logical theory, justas logical as that In years of big agricultural production w c should stockpile surplus farm crops for use when produc tion slips. BUT- . The government stockpile of these strategic and critical materials has grown to the ra ther sizeable total of 8.3 BIL LION dollars worth. That's a lot of strategic and critical materials - especially with the prospect facing us that in the future war may change in such a way that these old ma terials will be much LESS strategic. And . . . over the world . . . our old Uncle owns about 60 million acres of land which, with the structures on it, is valued on the books at 49.2 billion dollars. The old gentleman is a great collector, isn't he? Three Arrested in Portland Gunplay Portland TOPI) Three men, one of whom was wounded, have been arrested in con nection with gunplay at northwest Portland tavern Monday night. Held under $3,000 bail were John Lain Rainey, 28; Jack Leon Sanders, 26, and David Arran Smith, 27. Smith was suffering from a bullet wound. Oliver Wirta, owner of the tavern, told police ' a man shoved a gun into his abdo men and pulled the trigger after an argument at the tav ern. The gun misfired, he said. He said another man had jammed a pistol into a wom an's handbag and that it fired feu! . there' no doubt about it . . . rirgi" h6' You'll find the finest Springtime foodt waiting for you at Piggly Wiggly thii week- 'v.
