Signers of the company's Incorporation North, and Medford attorney Grain, Forage Crop Outlook Said Good; Fruit Hurt Corvallls - The outlook re mains good for Oregon grain and forage crops, but produc tion of major fruit crops In Die state may be down a little from previous years, reports Mrs. Elvcra Horrell, exten sion agricultural economist at Oregon State college. Wheat production In Ore gon should stay at about the same level as last year, a lit tle above average, Mrs. Hor rell found as she atudled re ports from the U. S. depart ment of agriculture. Fall seeded grains have done well In this area with May rains cast of the Cascades coming at Just the right time for good growth. In western Oregon, dam age from virus diseases that plagued grains last year seems to be less this spring. However, spring-sown crops got off to a slow start, because of rainy weather, and ara lag ging behind those of last year. Hay crops In the state are looking better this year than last, but arc still below aver age for this time of year, Mrs. Horrcl noted. Pastures re also in better condition tluin a year ago, and better than average. Fruit Hardest Hit Fruit crops were among those hardest hit by spring rains, Mrs. Horrell said. Lack of good weather for pollina tion and some below-freezing temperatures cut prospects for most Oregon tree fruit and nut crops. Oregon's vegetable proces sing crops were also slowed by the cold, wet weather this spring. As of June 1, much of the snapbean and sweet corn acreage In the state still had to be planted. The cool weather also slowed down de velopment of green peas in eastern Oregon, where much of this crop is grown. Nationally, June 1 crop prospects showed wheat pro duction expected to top the billion bushel mark again. Corn and soybean plantings were lagging, however, as rain continued to hamper field work. And forage crop prospects were more favor able In northern sections than In the South or West. National fruit production may fall behind that of lust year, Mrs. Horrell added. And the ' acreage of vegetables planted for commercial proc essing is lower than last year. There may also be few er fresh vegetables on this year's markets, : PLAQUE PRESENTED Jennings Pierce, representing the Medford Chamber of Commerce, presents Dr. Paul T.

Kennedy's Backers Undaunted by Move Los Angclcs-dlPD-Sen, John F. Kennedy's convention head quarters said today that Sen, ate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson's formal an nouncement changes nothing, and that Kennedy will win the the Democratic presidential nomination. Johnson's headquarters in this city where the Demo cratic national convention opens next Monday, disagreed and said he would gain del egate votes. 'This removes any doubt any delegate may have had as to his being a serious con tender for the nomination," said John B. Connally, direct or of the Johnson headquart ers. FARM NOTES Washington (UPD - The agri culture department has set wool incentive payments to producers for their 1959 crop at 43.2 per cent of the dollar returns they received from sale of the fiber on the open market. This means that for every $100 worth of wool a produ cer sold on the open market, he would receive an addition al $43.20 from the govern ment. For the 1958 wool crop, producers received $70.30 in payments for each $100 of wool sold. The incentive payment pro gram is designed to encour age domestic production of up to 300,000,000 pounds of shorn wool. Shorn wool pro duction in the United States last year totaled 257,200,000 pounds. The incentive pay ments are madp from funds obtained from tariff duties on imported wool. The incentive payments arc set to bring returns from wool to a national average of 62 cents a pound. Prices re ceived at the market in the 1959 marketing year -April, 1959, through March, 1960 averaged 43.3 cents per pound. This was 19 per cent above a year earlier. There will be no payments on mohair this year because producer prices averaged 96.4 cents a pound, considerably above the 70-cent incentive level.

Signs are defaced with paint, by burning, and by gunshot. Sign in center has Sign Damage Costs State 550,000 Each Year, Williams Says Salem - Highway hooligans are costing the people of Ore gon one mile of average foui; lane rural freeway each year, according to W. C. Williams, state highway engineer. Vandalism of highway signs cost the state $50,000 year for the material and labor required to repair and replace the damaged units," Williams said. "This amount would provide the state funds necessary to match the Fed eral money used to build one mile of freeway." The destruction of highway signs has reached alarming proportions, Williams pointed out. Vandalism not only costs the public in terms of money but in service as well. With out guiding signs, travel would be confused and inef fective. "Every sign," he said. 'gives vital information, and its destruction might lead to a serious or possible fatal accident." Square Foot Cost Signs are not cheap. They cost the state of Oregon an average of $2 per square foot. They hold an important place in the highway commission's over-all operations. The state HOW'S THAT AGAIN?

V. has more than 100,000 signs of every size and description marking everything from curves to deer crossings. They are one of the most effective devices used by the commis sion in its war on traffic acci dents. The act of vandalism may in itself create a hazard. In many instances shots are fired at signs for target practice, without consideration of the danger of ricocheting bullets. Williams urged that anyone detecting vandalism to signs and other public property re port the incident and the van dal's license number to a law enforcement agency.
