r 6 A Farm it Northwest-Midwest Feed Prices Noted Corvallis Price differ ences between feed barley in the Northwest and corn and milo in trie Midwest reached an all time high this spring with serious economic impli cations for the Pacific North west if the large difference continues over a period of time. This is one of the points made by M. D. Thomas, Ore gon State university extension agricultural economist, in the "Oregon Farm and Market Outlook" just published and now available through county extension offices. Facts and explanations about the grain price gap problem its nature, impli- cations and alternatives are FROM THE GROUND UP. By BART BARTLETT The subject at hand is that of organic versus inorganic gardening andor farming. Last week an attempt was made to introduce the sub ject and present certain prob lems that exist or will exist if total organic farming is to become widely fashionable. This week it is dcsireable to emphasize the fact that this column is neither for nor against the general Idea of the production of mankinds food and fiber by organic means. However, the problem becomes one of logic and logis tics as well as one of quantity and quality when the total plant production needs of mil lions of people arc concerned. It is one thing to grow a seleci, group of plants by a certain method in relatively small quantity and supply their production to a small group of people. It's some thing else when this achieves a measure of success to propa gate the theme this is the one and only method for the pro duction of food for humans The fanatic approach to propa gating the theory of almost any activity Is bad and cer tainly is a slep In the wrong direction in so far as gaining widespread acceptance of such practices are concerned. The belief of this column Is that both organic and inor ganic farming methods will be necessary and dcsireable if the world's peoples are to be adequately fed. We must uti lize all of the resources at hand to accomplish this task. It is unfortunate at the mo ment that distribution of foods is o disturbed by world poli tics that the surplus of many countries cannot move freely to those countries thnt ha'C as their greatest problem, a population that is starving. Again is should be pointed out that the surplus crop countries are making use of inorganic and organic chemi cals in the production of agri cultural crops while In most cases the poorly fed peoples of the world are feasting on the products of an organic agriculture. It should be pointed out that certain crops can be suc cessfully grown under condi tions of low nutrition if the physical structure of the soil is favorable. There are also crops thai naturally have tew or no insect and disease pests, Such crops as parsnips, tur nips, onions and carrots can be included in this category. They are not normally host plants of mites or aphid and do well in a deep soil of free open structure. Hie applica tion of plant or organic resi dues to some tight, dense soils will without doubt result in the production of excellent crops of these and certain oth er agricultural plants. It by no means indirates that all economic plants that are adaptable to a certain cli mate will do equally well from a production standpoint. However, an application of nitrogen, plus phnrosphorus, plus potash fertilizer along with an Insect and disease control program often insures that other crops such as corn, beans, cucumbers, etc. can he grown In great quantity. These crops are often a failure with out the fertilizer and pest con trols regardless of the physical constants of the soil such as structure, depth and soil moisture. A combination of the or- , ganic and Inorganic in agri culture Is deslroahlo. This will be followed up in next week's column. The current crop of politi co I n s is very quiet -wait un til late September for the prevalence of political weath er. However, there may be minor storms in the meantime. TUESDAY, JULY 10. 1962 Garden being developed by OSU econ omists in response to indus try requests. Statements are expected to be available in July, Thomas said. Currently, he points out, all indications are that adminis trative action under provi sions of present farm legisla tion will be needed if the problem is to be relieved in the coming season. Such ac tion seems likely to hinge largely on the continuing ef forts of persons interested in the economic development of Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and U. S-. he added. Price Gaps Grow The price gaps have grown rapidly since 1958, reaching new highs this spring. Con tinued over time, they have many economic implications, Thomas states. Among the more significant implications to Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, he believes, are: Loss of present payrolls and investments In producing and marketing livestock and poul try. Loss of opportunities for efficltnl use of the region's re sources to help supply the present and prospective needs of the meat-deficient, rapidly growing west coast. Thomas emphasizes that the Northwest has the location and resources to help supply not only grains for export, but also to make efficient use of additional grains produced here or in other parts of the nation to help supply west coast consumers. Growth of the region's cattle-feeding and hog-raising en terprises, started in the mid- 1950s when the price gap was narrow, has now been Inter rupted, if not hnllcd. he be lieves. Likewise, unless "man made" obstacles in the form of federal grain programs are adjusted, additional invest ments will not be made and job opportunities will be lost as (he region's potentials for livestock and poultry produc tion are dwarfed. At the moment, relatively low feed grain prices in the Midwest are enticing people to make new investments in livestock production and mar keting facilities which could be jeopardized when regional grain prices readjust, he warns. The large grain price gaps reflect many factors In which federal programs now loom large, he continues. Production-adjustment, export assist ance and domestic sales pro grams have combined with other economic forces to push Midwest feed grain prices be low price support levels, while in the Northwest bar ley prices have been pulled above supports. These conditions distort market relationships, he points out, and leave North west poultry and livestock feeders at a "serious disadvan tage" because Midwest poul try and livestock will ex change for much more fee:' grain at market prices than in the Northwest. At 11)01 support prices, the amounts would have been nearly equal. During the past winter, special sales of government owned milo In this area par tially relieved the problem, he said Gas Tax Refund Filing Due Soon By GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent Farmers may now file for federal gasoline tax refund, according to Gene Winters, Jackson County Extension A Kent, llefund claimed may be filed by only the owner, ten nanl. or operator of a farm. The Federal rate of tax re fund of four cents per gallon Is for gasoline purchased be fore July 1, 1962, which was used on the farm after June .'III. 111(11. and before July 1, 1162, for farming purposes. Not to be included is gaso line used on the highway: that used for processing, packag ing, freezing or canning oper ations; or any gasoline used for personal or non business reason. The claim should be filed with the U. S. District Direct or of Internal Revenue be tween July 1 and Sept. 30. 11)62.

Veteran Cattle Woman Retires Salem - A woman who has seen more cattle bough! and mid through the huge North Portland Union Livestock yards than most men will close her books on work with the industry July 15. She is Miss Elizabeth Ken nedy, who started in 1916 as a bookkeeper in the firm of Kidwell and Caswell, com mission merchants operating in the yards, and remained to become part owner of the firm. Twenty-nine years later she sold out on account of the illness of her partner. After several months of travel in Canada and the western slates she was back in the livestock whirl in 1948. working part-time in the of fice of Farmers' and Stock men Commission Company in (he yard.

They found her in Elizabct'i Kennedy and she has been with the department since handling the paper work in the state brand Inspection of fice at the yards. "When I first became as sociated with the commission house, many more animals moving into or out of Oregon passed through the yards." friendly Elizabeth Kennedy recalls.

It's needed to fulfill the great potential which is Afri ca's future, said Mordccai Ka tumba, a scientist with the experiment station in Kenya, an East African country. This is particularly true for agriculture, he pointed out while visiting the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment station here. African agricul tural production has in creased by over half in the last 20 years which Is well above the world's average in crease. But, the people have to be taught proper fertiliza tion practices. They must be taught how to use modern hand implements as a step to ward using tractors and farm implements. Enter Professions "Right now the people of my country who receive an education usually go into the professions. They are discour aged on returning to their vil lages to find they have to chop a farm out of the Afri can bush with simple imple ments," the short, scholarly African explained. "You can't blame them. It's a discourag ing thing to spend a month clearing bush." John Yungen, experiment station agronomist, has been host to Mr. Katumba. He said the agricultural scientist plans to buy at least one hand corn planter. This is the type of tool which the Africans can use to advantage. Now they use a pointed stick to make a hole in the soil, drop in the seed and kick the dirt over it. For some reason British companies and other Euro pean manufacturers haven't used the tremendous market for hand farm implements in Kenya, Yungen noted. The Europeans who farm much larger acreages, of course, use mechanized equipment. ' Part of the great African agricultural potential is the undeveloped water-power. It is estimated that African has 40 per cent of the world's water power, but only A per cent is developed, authorities have noted. A dam at Owen Falls has been completed for 10 years but is being added to now, Katumba said. This is the southern terminus of the Nile river flowing from Egypt. Kenya faces the same type of international problem on using waters from the Nile as the United States and Can ada do with the Columbia river. The agricultural scien tist said an agreement is being considered with Egypt over use of Nile water for irriga tion and other purposes. Studied Administration While vistiing the experi ment station, the agricultural scientist has been studying the station administration. "The people here know what they are doing and do ill" Katum ba said. "We have a problem in Kenya." DDT, an insecticide used by the experiment station, in cludes a product from Africa -the pyrethrum base which comes from chrysanthemums. A Kenya agricultural report in I960 states that the United States could absorb 15 per cent more pyrethrum. Kenya produces coffee, cot ton and peanuts as its other leading exports. Its coffee is the highland Arabic type. Ap proximately 32,000 tons arc shipped into the world mar ket each year. Cotton is of the long staple variety which the world market imports for fine cotton clothing. Kenya is also the fourth largest pro ducer of sisal fiber for rope. Kenya is not, however, a leading stock producer. Ka tumba noted his country is behind in animal husbandry. Thus was one of the subjects he studied during his recently completed year at Oregon State university. Chief native cattle is the Zebu which re sembles the Brahma. It is a modification of the Tibetan Yak bull and is used for both meat and milk. Use Jersey Jersey is another main breed. The British brought this animal to Kenya about 50 years ago, Katumba said. It seems somewhat smaller than the Guernsey raised in the United States. He indi cated there is considerable crossbreeding through arti ficial insemination in some parts of the country since the Zebu rrosses easily with Euro pean stock. Kenya is a British-control led territory so is orientated toward England. When the people of Kenya seek over- seas education now they ml- t grate to the U. S and land. However. Kenva does ! have Its own schools Most of these are operated co operatively by the govern ment and missionaries The University of Kast Afri- through March 31, 1963. the pound of gam ca is segmented into colleges : incentive level (or shorn wool Hoffman repotted no ddfi after the British system, too. j is 62 cents per pound, the ' cully from bloat with any of The college at Nairobi : same as for each of the pre- the rations.

The original college at Kampole (Malavere) teaches agriculture, medicine and edu cation. Since adequate education for the masses of people in Africa is the great need, it seems only natural that the Kenya agricultural scientist is impressed with the U. S. school system. He would like to establish vocational agri culture classes in Kenya. But, this would be difficult be cause Africa docs not have vocational training, in its high schools, he said. Another thing which im presses the man from Kenya is the U. S. food distribution system. A resident of Kenya cannot go Into a store or res taurant in Kenya and be sure he will receive what he ord ers. It might not be available until the next day or the next few days, he pointed out. Has Transport Problem This is due to Africa's transportation problem and sometimes food shortages. The "dark continent" has fewer miles of railroad than any other continent. In fact, Africans like many Medford residents are more familiar with the airplane than the passenger train. Katumba traced a network of roads through Kenya. These, he in dicated, may be more import ant to the future of his coun try than railroads. Public work departments and labora tories in various African ter ritories are studying road ma terials and soil mechanics to New Feed Aids Beef Corvallis A ,u. liiuniti rcii-H toward the day when Oregon cattlemen may be largely self sufficient in producing fast growing, high quality finished beef with local feedstuffs is reported in recent feeding trials in eastern Oregon. A test lot of cattle at Ore gon State university's Mal heur branch experiment sta tion near Ontario made ex tremely high gains aver aging 3.18 pounds daily over a 154-day period on high concentrate rations comprised mainly of locally grown feeds. Trials were directed by E. N. Hoffman, branch station superintendent, with Dr. J. E. Oldfield, OSU animal nutri tionist, assisting on ration for mulations. The gains comparable to the best midwest Cornbelt performances were obtain- 44.5 Per Cent Wool Payment For Market Year By ALBERT STRAUS. CHAIRMAN Jackson County A.S.C.

Pro- ducers thus will receive an incentive payment of $44.50 for every $100 received from the sale of shorn wool during the wool marketing year end ed March 31, 1982.

Eyes Independence Kenya is not yet independ ent but will be soon, Katum ba said. The revolution there was a giant step forward, some people think, referring to the "Mau Mau" rebellion in 1952-53. The White High lands have been opened to non-Europeans and Africans now have a greater partici pation in government through the new constitution made in 1960 and widened early this year. However, Kenya is not yet ready for participation in the European Common Market. Katumba feels. It still has to ship its goods to England for which it receives English money so the Common Mar ket would not open up great er trade for Kenya, he said. The British Commonwealth's participation in the Common Market is one of the main problems involved In British participation. Possibility of bringing in British African territories which would com pete with the former French African territories already pert of the ECM, is another big problem.
