for the pickers and large num

growers reporting that the belts
were hidden for safe keeping by
the pickers who found a favorite
and hoped to keep it through
the season. Hiding places were
forgotten and the belts never

End of Harvest Season
Looms in Barley Areas
TULELAKE With the weath
er man blessing the grain grow
er! this fall and the labor situa
tion the best since the beginning
of the war, one of the finest
barley crops in recent years will
be out of the field by the middle
of next week unless continued
showers delay the harvest
The crop is expected to total
between 750,000 and 800,000
sacks with three competing buy
ers in the field.
It is estimated that 75 per
cent of the crop has already gone
under the hammer, divided be
tween the Annheauser-Busch
company, represented by the
Klamath Basin Cooperative.
Tulolake Continental Grain, by
Joseph Lassett, and Archer Dan
iels Midland company by Charles
Luther,
The price on Hannchcn malt
barley fluctuated between $1.80
and $1.85 per hundred, with the
Klamath Basin Cooperative, en
tering the field this season for
the first time, having been re
ported as paying the higher
price. A number of the grow
ers split sales between the com
panies. Feed barley brought a
slightly lower figure.
Some late-planted barley acre
ages were damaged by the frost
of early September and this grain
was sold for feeding purposes.
Barley grown in Warner valley
and the Paisley country Is re
ported here to have been heavily
damaged by frosts this season.
While some Hnnnchen la grown
in the Alturas section, Tulolake
is conceded to bo the principal
barley producing area In the
northern part e' " s'a'e. the
grain being grown almost en
tirely on land leased from the
U. S. bureau of reclamation.
Among the larger growers arc
Heiucl Brothers of Tiilana
Farms, who on approximately
4500 acres produced nearly 100,
000 sucks. Dixon and Takne
are also reported to have har
vest' il 100.000 sacks while
Shuck Brothers raised more than
60,000.
Malt barley raised here Is
shipped to brewery companies
in the middle west. The grain
is harvested entirely with com
bines. More than 00 per cent of all
the world's wool is grown In
North and South America, Aus
tralasia and South Africa.
