SHIPMENTS
OF
POTATOES MAY
BEAT RECORD
Potato harvest was practically
complete In the Klamath basin
before the start of the present
storm. The few acres remaining
undug was only a small frac
tion of one per cent of the total
crop. Weather conditions
throughout the harvest season
were excellent and despite a
shortage of refrigerator cars,
shipments maintained a high
level throughout the month and
showed evidence of increasing.
Size of the crop has been
estimated at all the way from
11,000 to 13,000 cars, with ship
ments appearing to be the high
est on record. Acreage set a new
high of approximately 26,000
acres for the district, and the
Yields of marketable potatoes
seem to be slightly below aver
age, but a little above those re
ported in 1943.
Conclusion of the harvest sea
son found practically all cellars
throughout the district filled to
capacity and had it not been
for heavy early shipments'
some difficulty in storing the
entire crop might have been
encountered.

tatoes in Klamath county is the
greatest ever produced with an
proximately 10 per cent of the
entire planted crop entered for
certification. Uf tins amount
approximately 1400 acres met
all certification field inspec
tions, iurtner bin inspections
might serve to reduce this
amount to some extent as Ore
gon certified seed potatoes must
not only pass a scries of field
inspections but arc closely ex
amined in the bin after harvest
as well. While the major por
tion of certified seed stock is
used locally, nearly all the cer
tified White Rose is shipped for
planting in central and southern
California.
Nationals Return
Some of the Mexican nation
als used in the potato harvest
have been returned to Mexico,
some to other points in Oregon,
and tlie largo number, however,
will be returned to Mexico
shortly after November 1. Ap
proximately 800 were used in
Klamath county and an addi
tional several hundred in Tule
lakc, California.
In Klamath county, local
help was the big factor in the
successful harvest. Many resi
dents of cities and towns
throughout the county volun
teered their services as did men
on leave from marine and navy
installations. Five schools in the
agricultural districts were
closed for a three-weeks period;
thus allowing not only pupils
but school personnel- as well,
to work in harvest fields.
Migratory agricultural labor
was not too plentiful but a
camp was established at Merrill
and was filled with these work
ers throughout most of the har
vest season. In the Tulelakc sec
tion, prisoners of war and mi
gratory labor helped tremen
dously in putting the crop un
der cover.

or above. At San Fra nciieo, medium
grass steers were $13 to SI 3. 50.
Figures on federally inspected slaugh
ter of cattle for the first nine months
this year indicate that calf slaughter
was about 56 per cent heavier than dur
ing the same period last year, while
marketings of all cattle were only 24
per cent larger. .
LAMB MARKETS
The lamb market at North Portland
turned weaker Monday despite the offer
ing of only 1600 head. Top lambs
brought $12.50 while a sizable supply of
common and medium lambs were unsold.
Midwest markets on the other hand con
tinued strong with top lambs quoted up
to S14.40.
HOG MASKETS

extended the ceiling price on hogs
.weighing 240 pounds and under to in
clude those weighing 270 pounds and un
der. The celling price is $14.75 a

The Increase in ceiling price was
granted because of the greatly improved
feed situation In relation to the hog
numbers, and because the hog crop for
the current season of 1045 is below
anticipated production. It is believed
the higher ceiling will encourage the
feeding of hogs to heavier weights.
Wholesale and retail price levels will
not be affected. Originally, all hogs
sold at the higher ceiling. However, on
Mav 15. 1944, because of the adverse
feed situation, hogs weighing over 240
pounds were given the lower ceiling
to preserve corn stocks on hand for
more vital war purposes.
Prices of hogs at North Portland
October 30 were mostly steady with
aood to choice 180 to 240-pound hogs
selling at the ceiling of $13.75. Weights
up to 270 pounds were $15. same aa a
week earlier. At San Francisco receipts
were light and prices steady at a top
of $15.75.
Marketings of hogs in the midwest
have been increasing in recent weeks.
On Monday. October 30, Chicago, as well
as some of the other large midwest
markets, reported difficulty in moving
the heavy supply. Receipts, however,
were much below the record runs of a
year ago.
WOOL MARKETS
The activity in medium fleece wools
continued in the Boston wool market
during the week ending October 28.
A larger proportion of sales of these
wools were of three-eighths grade, as
quarter-blood offerings became scarcer
and less desirable. Purchasing of some
territory quartcr-biood wools was re-rat-ted
far use In army socks and blan
kets, in which specifications called for
wool not finer than three-eigntns, nor
lower than quarter-uiooa. rieece woois,
beine about three cents cheaoer on
clean basis than territory wools of the
same grade, received the first call.
Montana graded fine-staple choice wool,
shrinking 56 per cent, was sold at a
grease price of 33.2 cents. Original bag
Wyoming, bulk fine staple wool, shrink
ing 59 per cent, sold at a grease price
of 48.4 cents.
The WFA is reminding wool pro
ducers of the fact that the CCC wool
purchase program is in effect only until
the end of the calendar year, which Is
December 31. and does not extend until
June 30, 1943, as some erroneously be
lieve.
New automobile ignition sys
tems are being developed which
may eliminate the present high
tension secondary leads with
their accompanying tendency to
leak and sometimes even crossfire.

PRICE OUTLOOK GOOD
Materially reduced numbers
of hogs to bo marketed this fall
and winter plus the continued
large noiyciviliaiv pork pur
chases makes the outlook for
hog prices much more prom
ising than a year ago, the USDA
points out. Hog prices were at
the support level during the
late spring, but moved up to
the ceilings by mid-summer.
Output during the rest of
1944 is expected to be mate
rially reduced from the all-time
record for this period, estab
lished in 1943. The government
set aside on federally inspected
pork output reserves for war
use a largo proportion of the
better pork cuts hams, shoul-
