ACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON 761 MILLION BUSHELS OP WHEAT M WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (Pt Indicated production of winter wheat for harvest in 19-15 is 761,591,000 bushels, based on ;rop conditions prevailing Dc :ember 1. The agriculture department, making this estimate, said it was determined by factors which are now measurable and can be re lated to yields In previous years, such as the reported condition of the crop, rainfall and tempera tures to date. Winter wheat production this year totalled 764,073,000 bushels, while production of both winter and spring wheat combined reached the record level of 1,078,647,000 bushels. No fore cast on spring wheat can be given until after the crop is seeded next spring. The department estimated the area seeded to winter wheat at 49,589,000 acres, compared with 47,127,000 acres seeded a year ago and with 48.015.000 acres tor the 10 year (1932-41) aver age. The yield per acre was indi cated at 15.4 bushels compared with 11.2 bushels a year ago and with 11.4 for the 10 year aver age. Condition of the crop as of December 1 was estimated at 87 per cent of normal compared with 69 per cent a year ago and with 74 per cent for the 10 year average. ... The department said the seed ed acreage not expected to be harvested for grain was now in dicated at 7.8 per cent of the planted area, compared with 21.9 per cent a year ago and with 20.6 per cent for the 10 year average. . , , The department estimated that 4,726,000 acres had been seeded to rve as compared with 4,922,000 acres last year and with 6,101,000 acres for the 10 year average. No estimate of production was given. Condi tion of the rye crop was placed at 88 per cent of normal, com pared with 76 per cent a year ago and with 75 per cent of the 10 year average. County AAA Groups To Handle Farm Machine Rationing PORTLAND, Dec. 21 7P) All county farm machinery ra tioning committees have been dismissed and their few remain ing duties turned over to coun ty AAA committees, the state agricultural adjustment admin istration announced today. Corn pickers, the only Item rationed since .September 29, have been taken off the list, cancelling the entire program, explained S. B. Hall, Multno mah county agent. 'Weekly'' Market Trend .Editor's Note! The following mrkt in form i ton i supplied from material obtained over the government leased wire in the office of the extension economist at Oregon State college. The material, in the form of a weekly wm marv of trends tn the livestock market, is not intended to replace day by day market reporU.l - Cl'RRKNT MARKETS Livestock market Monday. December IB, were generally strong. Salable re ceipt in alt divisions at North Port land were about the aamo as week previous with 3500 cattle. 2400 hogs, and 1230 sheep. Cattle prices were mosllv unchanged with good fed steer at North Portland selling at SW.SO to $1.VSU, with some held for higher price. Lambs were tn active demand at a top of $13.50 while hog were up 23 cents with good to choice 180 to 240 pound hogs going at the celling of $13.73. Mid western market were, somewhat trrcgu- i lar but mostly stronger with price ad 1 vances of 33 to 30 cent recorded on i hogs and 33 ents on sheep and lamb. I CATTLE FEEDING Tlw bureau of agricultural economic ! report that the demand for feeder cat-1 lie over the United State generally continued to improve during November and reached the highest level of the season toward the end of the month. The average cost of stocker and feeder steer shipped from four leading mar kets for November was $11.63 compared with $11.37 in October and $11.07 in November of lat year. The increase from October to November this year, however, doe not reflect the actual improvement In prices, because of the general seasonal decline tn quality. Prices by grades at different market were up nearly one dollar during No vember and price of feeder calve were up a similar amount. Information available early In De cember points to some increase in the number of cattle fed for market during the current winter feeding eaon ovet the number fed a year earlier. Present Indications are that more cattle will be fed in the corn belt than last year and that feeding In other states will be at least as large as last year. It appear that reduction in feeding in the 1 1 western states will be less than earlier expected. LAMB FEEDING Development In the lamb feeding situation throughout November contin ued to indicate a rther sharp reduction in the number of lambs finished in feed lot. The number to be finished on wheat pastures, however, will be larger than was indicated a month ago and tne total numoer to tie lea - win be larger than seemed probable early In November, even though still the smallest since 1937, HOG CEILING The OPA has announced a higher ceiling price on light weight live hogs. The celling Is now the same for all butcher hogs except sows, stags, and boars. All live barrows and gilts now have a celling of $14.73 a hundred weight. Chicago basis. The ceiling on sows, stags, and boar will be 73 cents a hundredweight under the ceilings established for barrows and gilts. This differential carries out the usual relationship of lower values for these classes of hog as compared to rjarrows and guts. WOOL MARKETS The cloth requirement for the first half of IMS. released last week bv the quartermaster corps, greatly exceeded tne rugnesi estimate maae in tne trade. Also exceeding expectations wa the percentage of domestic wools to be used in these orders. As a result of this change In specifi cations, considerable interest was shown In the long dormant half-blood wool. Large weights of half-blood staple ter ritory wools were sold or put under options. Graded territory, fine staple wools were again in demand. Practi cally all of the better grown lots ol this grade have now been sold. Sales of western South Dakota, graded half-blood choice wools were made at grease prices of 52.3 and 56.4 cents. Montana half-blood sold at around, 50 cents, and Wyoming at prices ranging from 42-8 50.3 cents. " The WFA has announced ' that the government wool purchase program would continue through 1045 . without any important cnanges. Ancient mounds along the banks of the Mississippi river were manufactured by the In dians as retreats during xiood seasons. . Klamath Farmers Reminded Time for AAA Reports Here Farmers expecting to receive payment for work done are re minded by the agricultural ad justment agency that it is time to turn in their reports at the Klamath AAA office in the Federal building. Each Individ ual farm operator must make his report which will be subject to the approval of his commun ity committeeman. The possibility of a reduction in rates of payment for prac tices performed under the 1944 agricultural conservation pro gram was called to the atten tion of Klamath farmers in a statement reelased Monday by Burrell Short, chairman of the county AAA committee. Word has been received from the state AAA committee that, on the basis of county estimates of practices performed, total payments earned by Oregon farmers may exceed the state's allocation of funds for conser vation and soil building prac tice worn. Oregon was granted an allo cation of $2,617,000 from the $300,000,000 appropriated by congress for the 1944 practice program. To obtain the fullest use of this allocation, in terms of improvements to the state's agricultural resources, farm al lowance provisions of previous programs limiting the amount of each farm s payment were not included in the 1944 pro gram. Because of the marked i n -crease in practices carried out by farmers and ranchers, it now appears that total payments earned will be in excess of the allocation. Unless additional funds are allocated, a uniform percentage reduction in all pay ments will be necessary. This is in accordance with the policy of sharing available funds with all cooperators, rather than paying on a first come, first served basis until funds are exhausted How to q'we a drink Ear- Appeal .Jim- m 111 m:i rnvl nu HIGHBALLS mixed with Canada Dry Water iparkla out loud, "Pin-Point Carbonation" insures a liveliness that lasts . . . keeps drinks full of gent.
