RIGA FACES
BIG PROBLEMS
It will take the greatest gen
eration In America's history to
iolve the problemi now con
fronting this country, Phil Hitch
cock of Sisters, lieutenant gov
ernor of Kiwanis International,
told members of the local club
at their meeting Thursday noon.
Hitchcock reviewed the re
cent convention of Kiwanis In
ternational and chose as the
th.m. nf hia talk here a SDeech
made to that convention by
Texas' famed congressman, nav
ton Summers.
The great immediate problem
confronting Americans, Hitch
cock said, is Hitler. That must
be disposed of, first. But if
America is to go on from there,
and achieve its greatest destiny,
it must stop the centralization
of power in Washington and re
turn its government to the peo
ple. Hitchcock was introduced by
Ted Medford.
New members of the Kiwanis
club introduced at the Thurs
day meeting were Bud Kerr,
manager of Lost River dairy,
and George Balch of Foulgers,
a former president of the Baker
Kiwanis club.

Sheriff Low was present with
a warrant and when Fisher was
released he took the prisoner in
to custody. A few minutes later,
in Justice of the Peace Joseph
A. Mahoney's court. Fisher
waived Dreliminary hearing on
the charge of assault with In
tent to kill. He said ne wanted
time to talk to a lawyer.
Justice Mahoney did not admit
the prisoner to bail, reading the
law to him to explain the reason
for this refusal. Fisher was then
returned to the county Jail.
Wilson Better

son showed a turn for the better
in his bed at Klamath Valley hos
pital, ne reaciea uvoramy to
third " blood transfusion. His
physician said that barring the
possibilities ol intecnon or pneu
monia, his chances for recovery
are much Improved.
He has two bullet wounds
throush his chest, and one of the
bullets is lodged in his right

Spud Hearing
In Favor of
Market Plan
(Continued from Page One)
kets, but that if deemed advis
able it could be used In regula
tion of grades better than culls,
Major A. D. Hadley of the
solicitors office presided.
Counties involved are Klanv
ath, Siskiyou and Modoc coun-
ties, forming the Klamath basin
potato area, and Crook and
Deschutes counties, forming the
Deschutes valley area.
First witness called was Coun
ty Agent C. A. Henderson, who
sketched the history of the po
tato Industry in the basin and
gave a statistical picture of
basin production. He showed
the acreage growth from 230 In
1916 to 19,515 in 1940; average
yield from 101.4 bushels per
acre in 1925 to 420 bushels in
1940; shipment from 135 in
1925 to 9835 in 1940; total value
to growers from $3515 in 1916
to $2,959,257 in 1940. His fig
ures showed the percentage of
U. S. No. 1 potatoes at 75 per
cent in 1925; this advanced to
80 per cent in some years, and
dropped to 70 per cent in 1940.
Henderson indicated his belief
that sentiment in the area
favors a marketing agreement.
Questioned by G. W. Gannaway,
assistant marketing specialist, he
said that the decline of No. 1
potatoes might have something
to do with the desire for such
an agreement.
E. L. Woods, Crook county
agent, speaking for both Crook
and Deschutes counties, said
that 4000 acres of last year rep
. resented the Deschutes potato
land, and said that shipments
totaled 960 cars. Portland and
the Willamette valley are the
chief markets. The average
yield was given at 250 bushels
per acre.
He said that further irrigation
development, such as completion
of the North unit, may add to
Deschutes potato acreage and
production.

Russia, now seeking war aid from the U. S., will have trouble
getting It in because of near-complete cutoff of her western out
lets by German forces. Map shows alternate routes that may be
used to bring supplies to Soviet Russia's fighting front
a decline in acreage in 'the south-
end area, due in part to disease
and insect infestations.
When asked by the examiners
if he considered the request for
a marketing agreement likely to
aid the income from potatoes, ..
Gordoy of Sacramento, member
of the bureau of markets, Cali
fornia state department of agri
culture, replied "in California
we find whenever a request is
received from grower groups the
request is generally a response
to a specific need."
Hyslop Here
G. R. Hyslop, head of the bu
reau of plant industry of Oregon
State college and familiar with
conditions in the Klamath basin,
was questioned byathe examin
ers. He stated the Yakima pro
duction area was this area's only
major competition outside the
state, and felt conditions were
so "closely identical" and the
markets were the same that the
five counties in question should
work together on the program.
When Clifford L. Smith ol Cor-
vallis, assistant marketing spec
ialist from Oregon State college,
was called to the stand he re
peated the statement of Profes
sor Hyslop that low grade pota
toes detracted from the total
grower income, and further stat
ed he felt the agreement would
only be effective if other areas
would "do the same.
Next to be questioned was
D. B. DeLoach. associate econo
mist, department of agriculture
at OSC, and It was his findings
on marketing and consumption
which interested the growers at
tending the meeting. DeLoach
said the grade predominating in
the market varied according to
the market and pointed out the
Portland market sold between
65 and 80 per cent No. 1 pota
toes; Willamette valley, 60 per
cent No. 2's, and the San Fran
cisco market. 85 per cent No.
l's.
Professor Hyslop asked De
Loach if there was a tendency to
reDackage No. Z s to No. i s, ana
DeLoach said there was evidence
of this in various markets where
notatoes were repacked and re-
tabled into so-called combination
grades, or certain percentage of
No. l's and a certain percentage
of No. 2'S.
Henry Semon, prominent
Klamath county potato grower,
asked the examiners if this
agreement, if passed, would su
nercede any state law now in ex
istence and quoted figures from
the present state law. Major
Hadley replied "that would de
pend on the present state law"
but that "the agreement would
probably be the controlling law
but would not conflict witn ex
isting state requirements."
