WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 OP)
Today's djgest nf late food nows:
Hlco Is not rationed; there are
prlco colling on lettuce and
spinach, and more fresh veget

Thut was the gist of price ad

yesterday as tho ruling on let
tuce nnd spinach brought 90 per
cent of the nation's food undor
prlco control. '
Vegetable Calling
The reminder that rice Is not
on the ration list came after OPA
heard ruino.s from various parts
of the country that grocers were
refusing to sell rlco in the belief
that Its sale had been suspended
along with other processed
foods.
Effecllvo Thursday, no retail
ers, wholesalers, tormlnal mar
ket receivers or country shippers
may chargo more for fresh let
tuce or spinach than ho charged
during tho last five duys, OPA
said In setting up tho emergency

BUTTER-IKI
CORVALLIS, Feb. 25 (VP)
Perfection of a butter-making
mothod that Is expected to add at
least $40,000 to the value of the
annual butter output of Oregon
If generally applied, has been
announced by the dairy depart
ment of Oregon State college.
The method Is the culmination
of six-years' research conducted
under tho direction of Dr. G. H.
Wllster. professor of dairy man
ufacturing,
The new process Is known is
the "50, 45, 40 method," and Is
designed to ollmlnate crumbly
and sticky texture of butter
ma Jo in the season when hay
rathor than green feed is the
chief ration of dairy cows. The
figures refer to temperatures of
cream and butter maintained at
various step of the process.
So-called sticky or crumbly
butter is hard to spread or to cut
into neat putties for serving, re
sulting in a loss of grade and a
lower price. It has occurred al
most universally in winter in al
falfa hay sections of the west.

needed by farmers for this year's
crops is recommended by Arthur
S. King, extension noils specialist
at Oregon Stuto college. .
Crops aro now divided Into
class A and class B, with dealers
required to supply the needs of
class A growers first.

"Unfortunately many class B
crops In Oregon need nitrogen
bcf6re tho Important A crops,"
said King. "While dealers will
do their best to hold buck sup
plies for cluis A growers, they
cun be 'expected to protect only
those who cooperate by placing
advance orders for tWbir needs."
Growers of class A crops can
get fertilizer whether they have
grown them before or not. Crops
Include, for Oregon, flox, hybrid
corn for seed, dry or snap beans,
lima beans, beets, cabbage and
carrots. Cla B crops arc all
other crops except cucumbers for

who have previously used nitro

can get It for them this year.

Oregon Asked to Increase
War Food Production by

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (P)
Oregon Is asked to Increase Its
production of war foods by per
centages ranging from 2 to 67
per cent of the 1942 produc
tion.
Tho list of goal asked of Ore
gon producers was furnished to
Senator- McNury (R-Orc.) by N.
E. Dodd, director of the west
ern division of the agricultural
adjustment agency.
The agency suggests 44,000
acres of potatoes, which would
be 122 per cent of the 1942
planting and 08 per cent of the
1035-30 figure; 28,000 acres of
dry field peas, which Is 112 per
cent of last year's planting and
933 per cent of the acreage for
the five-year pre-war period;
5000 acre of dry edible beans,
which represents percentages of
167 and 250, 2000 acre of flax
seed, equal to the amount plant
ed last year and 67 per cent of
tho five-year average.

farms and ranges declined dur

have not been much heavier than
usual. The February 1 condi

record except for 1932. however.
Thi somewhat reflects the low
condition of ranges and shortage
of feed in some sections. The
February 1 condition of range

were under six inches or more

The agency wants' 422,000
head of cattle and calves for
marketing and farm slaughter,
representing an increase of 14
per cent over last year and 37

SHEEP AND LAMB
MARKETS
The 1000 head of sheep and
lambs offered for local trading
at North Portland Monday luck
ed considerable quality, result
ing in a market condition steady
to weak compared with Friday's
close. A few good to choice
woolcd lambs brought $15,
though only a few offerings met
this grade. A somewhat lower
trend in the market prevailed at
Chicago, while at Omaha slaugh
ter lambs were fully 25 cents
lower than last week's close.
Most of the good and choice fed
woolcd and wheat field lambs
sold at $15.50 to $15.75.
Marketings of sheep and lambs
are holding fairly even with
those of a year ago. Contract
was active in California last
week so that a high percentage
of the crop from the Stockton
area south is now sold. Esti
mates arc that more than 350,
000 head of the early lamb fcrop
in the San Joaquin valley arc
now under sale contract. Prices
called for are mostly around $15

able lambs for Into April through
May delivery. Most of the con

mostly $16.25, with heavier
weights at $15.50 to $15.75.
Prices at Chicago were up 10
to 20 cent compared to last
week. close, with a top of $15.60.
The current report of live
stock numbers on farms as of
January 1 shows hogs leading
the list with an increase of 22
per cent over the previous year
to a total of 73,660,000 head. A
large Increase In the 1943 spring
pig crop Is In prospect and a
resultant record supply of slaugb

hand, sheep supplies havo de
creased about 3 per cent, but
cattle supplies have advanced to
a new high of approximately
78,000,000 head.
WOOL MARKETS
Practically no trading In do

Boston market last week, though
contracts at country points, most

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 (P)
The executive committee of Cali
fornia's Associated Farmers was
told yesterday the government
is . seizing arable land to grow
rubber-producing guayule, de
spite a growing food shortage
that threatens malnutrition.
Sail Lloyd W. Frick, of Arvln,
Calif.:
"It is outrageous that the gov
ernment should order abandon
ment of food crop acreage in
favor of guayule when there are
thousands of acres suitable for
rubber production that cannot
be used for food crops."
Californians, said E. Stanton
Daley, of Woodland, president of
the farmers, face not only mal
nutrition but actual hunger "un
less immediate steps are taken to
assure planting and harvesting
of crops," principally in provid

GIGRESSIST
ACT ON FEED
WHEAT PH06MM
Renewal of the feed wheat
program, which was ordered
curtailed last week, will depend
on congress giving commodity
credit permission to sell an addi
tional quantity of wheat for feed,
B. W. Short, chairman of the
county AAA committee, report
ed yesterday.
Last July, congress authorized
the sale of 125,000,000 bushels
of government-owned wheat for
feeding to livestock and poultry,
Short explained. This amount
is exhausted, so no more can be
sold until congress takes further
action.
Stored
The chairman emphasized that
the program has been halted be
cause the amount authorized has
been sold, not because there is
no wheat available. There is
still plenty of wheat in the ever
normal granary, as the 125 mil
lion bushels sold for feed is a
small part of the billion and a
half bushel supply on hand after
harvest last year.
Over seven million bushels of
Oregon wheat have been sold for
feed under the program, he re
ported. But while that much was
moving out, another 14 million
bushels of the 1942 crop was
moved into storage and placed
under government loan in the
state.
Good Feed Grain
j Klamath county farmers have
icq aDoui 2uuu ions oi ieea
wheat to livestock and poultry
under the program, Short re
ports. The price of the wheat,
set by congress at 85 per cent of
corn parity price, ranged be
tween 85 cents and 98 cents a
bushel.
