Northwest Wheat Sales Far Ahead Of Normal Year
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON'
THI RSDAY. OCTOBER 10. 19fi.1
i SPOKANE (UPI)-If the So
viet Union wants to bring some
of the wheat it will purchase
. from the United States through
Pacific Northwest ports, it may
have to stand in line.
Sales of wheat this year have
moved so far ahead of normal
', that 8,000 rail carloads of the
grain are backed up on North-
.' west sidings waiting for move-
i ment.
i Jim Hanson, farm director of
, KOMO, Seattle, called public at
I tention to the unusually large
, number of cars filled with wheat
: Wednesday.
.j Merrill Sather, executive sec-
retary of the Pacific Northwest
I Grain Dealers Association, said,
. "Grain has sold faster this year
than I've ever known it before."
. Comparable Sales
He said sales by Oct. 1 this
year were comparable to sales
by Dec. 1 most years.
Sather said the grain was sold
at country elevators and must
be shipped to coastal points for
export. "It's moving out of the
country points so fast they can't
get the cars unloaded at the
1 miniums, Bauier saiu. uars
are simply backed up."
He said the increase in sales
had several contributing fac
tors. One was a worldwide short
age of wheat.
Another was the lowest carry
over in 10 years of Northwest
white wheat.
Another is a possible increase
in freight rates slated for Oct.
Attorneys Named
To Defend Dairyman
OREGON CITY (UPD-Two
attorneys have been appointed
by Clackamas County Circuit
Court here to represent an
Estacada dairy worker accused
of slaying his hunting com
panion. Donald Douglas, 21, has been
charged with first degree mur
der in the death of Patrick Ed
win Morrison, 42, also of Esta
cada. Morrison's body was
found near Portland Oct. 6. He
had been missing since he left
his home Sept. 28.
. The attorneys Dale Jacobs
of Oregon City and Robert
Mills of Milwaukie, requested
postponement of a preliminary
hearing until they had an op
portunity to study the case.
Another hearing was tenta
tively set for today.
31, which Sather said could have
resulted in some shippers
getting grain aboard cars in or
der to take advantage of the
current lower rate.
Already Arrived
Also adding to the grain cars
in the Northwest is a Commodity
Credit Corporation decision to
increase its Northwest stock of
red Midwest wheat from six- to
seven million bushels to 12 mil
lion bushels. About 3,000 car
loads of Midwest wheat is en
route to the Northwest and
Sather said some of them may
already have arrived.
Sather said the worldwide
wheat shortage was so severe
that Northwest white wheat was
being sold in Europe where it
rarely had gone before. About
85 per cent of Northwest wheat
goes into export trade, but most
is sold to Asian nations.
Because of sales programs
in previous years, the North
west carryover was down to
eight- to 10 million bushels, an
amount generally considered too
small.
Sather said as much as 60
per cent of this year's crop may
already be sold, a far higher
percentage than normal.

Or you will suy "that's a good

There may be moments, how
ever, when all escape hatches
are closed. Such was the case
at my house some time ago
when my daughter, who is
teoici'ing on the brink of 13, be
came curious about something
she saw on television.
Her mother was not at
home at the lime and there

So, hack lo the wall, I found
myself trying to rxplain
Frank Similra.
Whenever you arc explaining
Sinatra to a prc-tecn-agcr you
have to choose your words very
carefully. Otherwise, you might
say something that will cause
her in later life to turn against
baritones.
On this evening. Sinatra was
appearing as a guest star on
somebody's program and my
daughter was puzzled by the
conversation he was having
with the host.
"Why do Ihcy keep asking
him about girls?" she said. "He
looks like he is almost as old

"You're putting me on."
"No I'm not. It's true. Ask
your mother when she gets

"I'm talking about girls."
my daughter said. "I don't
know a single girl in my class
who thinks he's cool."
"Listen," I said, ' f can re
member when girls your age
used to line up for blocks to
get in a theater where Sinatra
was singing. Every time they
saw him they would moan and
tear their hair and scream
'Frankic!' "
"That must have been before
I was born."
"Yes," I admitted, "1 guess
it was."
"But why are Ihey always
asking him about girls now?"
"Be quiet for a minute," I
said. "I think I hear an air
raid siren."
