10 A THURSDAY. APRIL 12. 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Crop ol Winter Wheat Expected To Show Decline . Washington- iUPD -The 1962 winter wheat crop will be down substantially from the large 1961 crop. This should cause a considerable reduction In the big breadgrain surplus. ' The Agriculture Depart' ment's April crop summary Tuesday estimated the fall- planted crop will total 921 million bushels. This is 14 per cent, or 13S million bushels, below the 1961 crop, but 5 per cent above the 10-year average. Tuesday's estimate -also is 23 million bushels be low the first forecast of the 1962 crop made last Decem ber. 1.1 Billion Buihtli , A crop the size of the Aoril 1 forecast means an all-wheat crop of about 1.1 billion bush els will be produced. This as sumes a spring wheat crop of around 198 million bushels. The estimated total would be less than anticipated domestic consumption and export de mand. This means consumers, both domestic and foreign, would have to call on carry over stocKs now in govern ment bins. Estimates of the carryover reduction on July 1, 1963, range up to 130 mil lion bushels. The reduced crop reflects - operation of the 1962 wheat stabilization program where by farmers collect eovern ' ment payments under manda- . tory reduction of 10 per cent oi tneir wneat acreage and additional voluntary reduc tions of acreage. Nothing Firm The department pointed out there is nothing firm about the current estimate of pro duction. It assumes normal weather, insect, and disease ' conditions for the remainder of the crop season. Also, farmers have not yet made a final determination relative to the acreage to be harvest ed. The department said the ' 1962 crop season got off to a slow start with cold, damp weather in early March. Plant growth was behind the usual pace until more seasonal late March temperatures brought a promise of spring. Field work was delayed by frequent snow or rain which kept soils too wet for plowing and seed bed preparation. Grain Stocki Down The crop summary showed food grain stocks on farms were about 20 per cent lower man last April 1 and 7 per cent below average. Farm stored wheat was 18 per cent less than last April while rye stocks were down 43 per cent. Soybean stocks on farms rocketed to a new high, more than double the small hold ings a year earlier and 18 per cent above the previous record farm stocks of April 1, 1960. Tonnage of feed grains held on farms April 1 was 1 per cent lower than a year earlier but 29 per cent above aver age. Farm-stored corn reached a new high of 2. IS billion bushels 3 per cent above the previous higli last year and 40 per cent above average. Stocks of sorghum, oats, and barley were down sharply. Citrus production for 1961- 62 is expected to be 6 per cent greater than last season and 3 per cent above average. lollipop Is Still Reliable Pacifier New York-iUPU-'ihe most re liable pacifier for a frighten ed child apparently is still a lollipop. The pharmacy at the Co-lumbia-Prcsbyte.ian Medical center in 196 dispensed more than a quarter-million lolli pops to child paticiits, ac cording to John J. Rio, chief pharmacist, who said a lolli pop Is a sure psychological weapon for overcoming a child's fears. "Candy is something fa miliar that a youngster rec ognizes and understands." Rio said. '"It's almost amazing how fast tears stop for a lollipop." Dairymen Must Know Some Cow Psychology College Statio.i. Tex.-iOT-A. M. Meekma of the Texas A- & M. college extension ervice says a little "cow psychology" could make the difference between breaking even and making a good pro fit from dairying. "It is shown in many ways," Meekm said. "The dairyman's handllnr feeding, milking and carirg for his cows, the general appearance of hi? herd and his knowledge of when to call the veterina-1 rlnn all reflect understanding i of cow psychology. There I only one way to gain it, hew-1 ever, and that through ex pcrlence working with anl rials." ' ; "A Great Store in A Great Country" I , J , II - I I I " I'.X:' US'', I ' IM I , III V.JL i '.
