HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON ACE EIGHT l)p.lcTib!!JL1''n Farm Machinery Rationing Ended Today By WFj STATEMENT WELCOMED BY BASIN FARMERS WASHINGTON. Sept. 28 m Rationing and distribution con trol of all farm machinery and eouipment, except corn pickers, was ended suddenly today by the war food administration. The action was announced by War Food Administrator Marvin Jones, who said the 1944 pro duction period and season of use for most rationed implements had passed and that the need for further controls except on corn pickers during the 194445 crop year "is not anticipated." Jones said the endine of ra tioning of these items was in line with WFA's policy of "con stantly examining all of its war time "regulations and removing them as soon as they are no longer essential." Released from rationing and other distribution controls to day are combines, corn binders, manure spreaders, mowers, side delivery rakes, hay loaders, pick up hay balers, wheel tractors, grain drills, potato planters, po tato diggers, silo fillers, irriga tion pumps, power sprayers, dragon tractors, well water sys tems, power pumps, farm milk coolers, sheet metal water well casing and farm scales. Only last night a WPB spokes man described reports that ra tioning of such machinery would end as "astounding." because, he said, farm machinery was one of the "most critical programs." Controls over corn pickers are being retained, the agency said, in order to assure an equitable distribution of new pickers need ed to harvest the big corn crop this year. It added, however, that rationing of that item would be removed "as soon as it is prac ticable to do so." Rationing of milk cans and pressure cookers was lifted recently. Loan Arrangements Set , For Oregon Spud Growers Arrangements by which Ore gon potato growers may obtain loans on their 1944 crop under the WFA price support program have just been announced by the state AAA office at Corvallis. These loans may be obtained by producers, grower associations, dealers, and processors between now and December 15, by apply ing at any county AAA office. Loan rates are less than the full support price, explains R. B. Taylor, chairman of the state AAA committee, but the grower will be credited with the full support price at the time of de livery in case the potatoes are turned over to the WFA in sat isfaction of the loan. Two loan rates are applicable in Oregon. The rate for the four northeastern counties, Malheur, Baker, Union and Wallowa, is $121 a hundred for U. S. No. Is in farm storage and S1.S1 in tracksidc storage. For the Klam ath and central Oregon regions and all other counties except those mentioned, the loan rate is $1.39 and $1.49 for the two kinds of storage. For U. S. No 1 site 13 and U. S. No. 2 grades the rates are 38 and 48 cents for the four northeastern counties and 47 and 57 cents for the remainder of the state. Exact amount of the kv..n is arrived at by figur ing '.ho loan rates for the dif ferent grades in the proportion these occur in the entire lot. Potatoes under the loan may be sold at any time by request ing release of the quantity to be sold, although the gross sales proceeds less approved market ing and handling allowances must be turned over to the WFA until the loan is fully repaid. The remaining potatoes may either be sold by V borrower or they may be delivered to the WFA if the quantity is declared at the tiiv the loan is repaid. Borrowers who decide to de liver potatoes to the WFA in satisfaction of the loans may not start delivery until January 1 unless the stored potatoes arc threatened by excessive loss prior to tl at time. SHEEPMEN TO The order from Washington eliminating rationing of farm equipment today ended the dif ficult tasks of the Klamath coun ty farm machinery committee, which will probably disband The committee has handled ra rationing of the limited suplies of larm equipment in this county Many applications for equip ment were still pending before the committee when the order came, indicating a probable heavy demand for what equip ment is available from dealers. County Agent C. A. Henderson saia that the end of rationing win also open up equipment buy ing back and forth between coua tics, which was stymied under tne ola rationing program. DEVICES SIMPLE A bell tied around the neck of a bottle of poison is a simple househe'd sai-ty measure to pre vent mistaking one bottle for ano'.h- suggests Mrs. Wmni fred K. Gillen, home demonstra tion ag .t for Klamath countv. In a moment -f careless haste or in a dim light or darkness th. poison label on the bottle may not be sufficient warnine. Something that will catch the attention of .he ear or the touch as well as the eve eives extra safety. Mrs. Gillen adds that i le careful ho-sewives fasten a strip of adhesive tape over the corx ana aown the sides of every container of p ion. Others stick pins in the crk. Another method is. t- " :p the small bottle of poir"n inside a larger container. such as a Klass jar with the top scrcwea on. All poisonous substances used arv.-.nd the h- se should be keDt locked ouf of reach on a high shelf, ernecially in a household where childrc are at the explor ing age. Dangerous substances include not only poison like iodine in the medicine cabinet but also poisonous insectic des kitchen drain cleaners and some bleaching materials.

Prices of top hoc and lambs were steady while cattle registered gains. Quality of cattle offerings was lower than in other recent weeks with practically no good steers available. Common to med ium steers sold at S10 to $12.25 and medium heifers at $10.50 to $11.75. At San Francisco, medium steers sold on a steady market at $12.50 to $13.50. Mid west markets reported a shortage of top grades dui increases onering oi we it em grass cattle. These have been mov ing to market In large volume. The spread between prices of well finished, a rain-fed cattle and grass cattle continues unusually wide. Aver age orices of well-finished cattle reached a near recora rugn eariy in aujusi ana since have maintained a relatively tav orable position. Stockers and feeders on the other hand have been averag ing well below the level of a year ago. The price spread between choice and prime steers and common steers at Chicago in July was $5.50 a hundred weight. In July last year the spread was $3.86. and the average of July for 1932-19-11 was $3.76. The hich cost of feed and' labor last season discouraged feeders and as a result the number of cattle on feed In the corn belt on August 1 was 41 per cent less than a year earlier and the smallest for August 1 since 1937. This was the sharpest decrease in the number of cattle on feed for any year on record except 1035. following the 1934 drought LAMB MAHKET5 Receipts of lambs at North Portland fell off sharply Monday with a salable supply of only 1350 head. Demand wan active with good to choice spring lambs going at $11.50 to $12. At San Fran cisco, choice lambs were not available but were quoted at $13.50, same as last week, while at Chicago, most bids were 25 cents lower than last week's close. Although direct and contract buying of sheep and lambs throughout the west continues relatively light, the num bers of lambs appearing at the principal stockyard markets are about in line with other years, considering the smaller crop. The spring lamb crop was 5'$ per cent below that of 1943. Lamb prices haven't changed much the past two weeks but are somewhat lower than a month ago. HOG MARKETS Th supply of hogs at North Portland Monday was a little larger but demand was strong and prices were steady at the ceiling on top grades, but about 25 cents higher than last week on sows and feeder pigs. Hogs continued to sell at the celling level of $15.75 at Portland, at $14.75 at Chicago. The WFA announced that ceiling prices of live hogs will not be reduced from present levels prior to June 30. 1945. The WFA also stated that the support price of $12.50, Chicago basis, for good and choice 200 to 240-pound hogs, which becomes effective October 1, 1944. will continue to June 30. 1945. instead of March 31. as previously announced. WOOL MARKETS Domestic wool sales continued slow In the Boston market last week. The few sales reported were of quarter-blood fleece and territory wools. Buyers for mill accounts state that, with stocks of CCC held domestic wools, which they estimate at over 350 million pounds, con stantly available at fixed prices, there Is no Inducement tn purchase ahead, after the most attractive lots have been bought. They also state that difficulty In ob taining the added help reauired In con vert in r domestic wools Into tops. In addition to the price differential tn favor of foreign wools, has further caused manufacturers to use foreign wools In every situation possible. Typical sales of territory wools the Dast week Included Colorado quarter blood In small lots at a grease price of 49.3 cents. Wyoming graded wools were appraised as follows: Fine average staple with a 63 per cent shrink at 44 cente: fine clothing, 65 per cent shrink, 39.2 cent; three-eighths staple. 54 per cent shrink. 49.7 cents; quarter blood staple with 50 per cent nhrlnlt 49.5 cents: and low quarter-blood 4J per cent shrink at 48.4 cents a pound, grease basis. S Public Utilities Commissioner George H. Flagg today filed strong exceptions with the Inter state Commerce commission against adoption of recommenda tions by its examiner, George H. Hall, which would drastically reduce rail rates on their pro cessed and fresh meats from midwest points to aft the coast region. Commissioner Flagg contends that such reduction in rail rates would greatly injure local producers. The commissioner pointed out in a brief prepared by his at torney. John H. Carkin, that midwest packers seem to make a try for reduced rates about every ten years. The commis sioner stated that it was just a decade ago that ICC went into the matter most exhaustively and then established rates that now prevail, and which rates have enabled coast growers of animals and independent packers to continue in business. And he emphasized his belief that if the Hall report is approved the re duction in shipping rates will not be beneficial to consumers, but will be absorbed by the midwest packers. Another result will probably prove to be that a number of independent packers, the main stay of the livestock industry in the far west, will close out their operations, with the consequent removal of the competition which now favors the grower. Marketing System Could Eliminate Rationing, Report SALEM. ScdI. 28 UP) Ration ine of beef could be eliminated by orderly marketing of beef cattle in sufficient numbers to remove excessive Inventories, the newly-organized western agricultural commissioners' and directors' association said today in a plea to Federal War Food Administrator Marvin Jones. The association, in a letter signed by its president, E. L. Pet crson. Oregon director of agri culture, said that the delay in cattle marketing is causing loss production, an increase in low grade meat, a decrease in better grade meat, and a wider spread between consumer and producer prices.
