WHEAT STATUS
AIRED BY AAA
Handling of Klamath county's
"hot" wheat problem under
. marketing quotas on the 1941
crop was given a thorough airing
- at an all-day meeting of the
county AAA committee here
' Wednesday.
Approximately 600 acres of
wheat, divided among around 25
to 30 growers, will be excess
wheat under the quota provis
ions and will be subject to a 49c
. a bushel penalty, according to
Fred Rueck of Bonanza, chair
man of the county AAA commit
tee.
"Those growers who produced
wheat in excess of their acre
age allotments must ba prepared
to dispose of this excess wheat
in one of two ways," Rueck said.
"They can pay the 49c a bushel
penalty immediately, or they
can defer payment by storing
the wheat; either in a warehouse
or on the farm under proper
bond. When proper disposition
has been made of the excess
wheat, a marketing card will
then be Issued to the grower."
The marketing quota excess
for & farm is determined by mul
tiplying the number of acres in
excess of the farm's wheat acre
age allotment by the normal
yield per acre set up for the
. farm, Rueck explained. As the
yield throughout the county is
generally above-average this
year. In most cases the amount
of "hot" wheat on a farm will
be considerably less than the
actual production, Rueck point
ed out.
Notices of farm marketing
quota and farm marketing excess
are being prepared in the coun
ty office and will be mailed to
all growers producing more than
IS acres of wheat, the AAA
chairman reported. When a
grower has been notified that'
he has excess wheat, he must
make proper disposition of the
excess within 60 days, ana uniu
the excess is either stored or
the penalty paid the federal gov
ernment has- a lien for the
amount of the penalty on the
farm's entire wheat crop, Rueck
said. ,v
"So far, most of the growers
who know that they have excess
wheat have recognized their sit
uation and are taking steps to
make proper disposal of the ex
. cess!.-, the.;- chairman added.

The strike involves en inter
union dispute and the office of
production management had
asked the SWOC not to "defy
me government", with a. walk
out. Charles Cowl, SWOC field
representative, replied that "we
are not defying the government

is defying the government by
refusing to deal with a union
of the employes' choosing." '
5 WOC claims 400 of the
600 employes and the AFL-

sociation, an independent union.
Both the independent and the
AFL unions refused to consent
to an NLRB election.

decorated by the German gov
ernment while I was carrying
out the request of your ambassa
dor to that government? Is it

form your secretary that I re
ceived this decoration in the
American embassy, in the pres
ence of your ambassador, and
that I was there at his request
in order to assist in creating a
better relationship between the
American embassy and the 'Ger
man government, which your
ambassador' desired at that
time?" ,
WASHINGTON, July 17 (jiF)
Secretary Ickes declared today
he believed that If Charles A.
Lindbergh "were an upstanding
American" he would have turn
ed back his German decoration
"long ago, regardless of how,
when or where he got it."
The Interior department chief
made his. statement at a press
conference after being informed
that Lindbergh had written
President Roosevelt suggesting
an apology Dy ickes tor his criti
cism of Lindbergh's position in
the present international situ
ation. "I've never said at any time
that he is connected with the
interests of a foreign govern
ment," Ickes said. "I have said,
however, that he has gone about
the country preaching appease
ment and disunity which is in
the Interest of a foreign govern-I
ment namely Germany.
When handed a paper quoting
from Lindberghs letter to the
president Ickes read it aloud
in a plaintive voice, and then
commented "This doesn't sound
like an expression from a knight
of the German eagle."
Asked if he would apologize to
the flier, in event he returned
the German decoration, the sec
retary replied: "I would think
at lot more of him."
A White House secretary said
the flier's protest to the White
House was Intended more for
the newspapers than for the
president.
Stephen Early, press secretary
to Mr. Roosevelt, said the Lind
bergh message, made public in
New York today, had not come
to his ' attention and that "1
wouldn't comment if it had."
He asked reporters whether they
had the text of the letter and
was informed that they did.
"Well, he wrote It to you and
addressed it to the president,"
Early declared.

fering $50 per ton for tho fruit,
highest price since 1DZD.
Andrew M. Collier, who spent
Tuesday in the valley on busi

growers had already sold their
crop.
Orchardists reported a "fair"
crop of Bnrtlctts. it was leumed
from a valley source. Tho D'An
Jou pear crop has increased
somewhat, the Bosc crop de
creased some 40 per cent, and
the Cornice crop considered good.
Much of the pear crop is ship

a large percentage of the grow

anticipating an even higher mar
