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.

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

farmers to do some paper work.
It will suve time and effort for
