Hitch In this forecast Is thut
yields aro reported , now upon

and yields would be changed.
Movement
Last woak's shipments con
tinued tho decllno started eurly
this mouth. Total shipments for
tlio week wore 4877 curs with a
tl-duy uvorugfl of 813 cars com
pared with 840 dally the prev
ious week. Heaviest decllno
was In tlio Red Itlvcr valley,
with 37D cur under lust week.
Maine Increased by 236 cars
over tho previous week. Light
movement In November Is nor
mul as markets usually aro well
supplied with heavy harvest
time offerings.
In general, growers aro tak
ing stock, going slowly, looking
things over have money in
tho bunk, and don't have to
hurry. Loan applications aro
reported heavy In some impor
tant areas. Putting potatoes
under tlio loun reduces ship
ments. Confirmation of tho Can
adian and Belglnn deals for
around 3 million bushols with a
French deal still pending, tends
to glvo tho bulls a boost. It's
axiomatic thut potuto growers
quit selling when tho market
warms up, sell freely when It
turns cosy. Gonulnc confidence
is good; Indicates basic sound
ness. But a regular and orderly
flow In liberal volumo Is neces
sary to get this year's crop mar
keted bejorc warm weather and
new-crop competition.

Price Support and Diversion
Confirmation of tho Canadian
and Belgian deals, closed late
In October but lust announced
officially, Is the best news since
harvest from tho stundpolnt of
providing additional outlots in
volving Dig volumo movement
through trado channels, Tho
Canadian deal obviously re
quires government financial aid,
which evidently Is being shared
between Canada and tho United
States. But sales aro on a cus
tomary basil, only requirements
being that Canadian importers
bo licensed and U. S. Hellers pay
support prices to growers. Tho
Belgian deal apparently Is dif
ferent, since USDA is buying at
support prices and delivering to
tho Belgian government at ship-
side. Total quantity involved
Is around 9.3 million bushels.
about 10 per cent of our totai
estimated surplus. Sounds good
to us, but If sales dry up, over
bullish attitude might boom
erang In tho spring. USDA can
control the situation to some
extent by calling louns, but co
operation between UbUA and
Industry Will be required to get
Job done and the potatoes
moved.
Diversion to Industrial pro
ducts continues about as report
ed earlier, with end of freely
moving supplies In sight for tho
alcohol plant at Muscatine. Gov
ernment stocks can't be large In
the mid-west because buying
ended somo time ago. Also,
loans in emergency storage In
adjacent areas arc being called,
evidently to Keep by-products
plants running and to prevent
the possibility of losing pota
toes through freezing. USDA
would prefer to use lower grades
In alcohol if the export deals
can use tho good stock. The
deal probably will work around
to this basis when shipments
out of winter storage get under
way.

If action initiated at last
night's city council meeting Is
completed, there will be no more
smoking in Klamath Falls the
atres except in special smoking
rooms.
Councllmcn Indicated def
initely thut they Intend to puss
the no-smoking ordinance which

cided that the fire hazard in

ent free-smoking arrangements.
Tho council also ordered an
ordinance drawn which will re
qulro a $90 foe on theatres with
a seating capacity under 800, f 73
on those with 300 to 1000 capac

Main.
A representative of the Wat
kins Products firm made an ap
peal to the council for permis
sion lo open a store here and
e 1 1 through house-to-house
solicitation. He suggested that
some exception to the Green
River - ordinance prohibiting
house-to-house selling in Klam
ath Falls be made for established
firms.
The decision of the council
was that tlK ordinance was
necessary to protect Klamath
citizens from door-to-door - ted
dling since they had asked that
such a ruling be passed, how
ever they agreed to consider any
information regarding the prob
lem of permitting established
firms to operate in that way and
at the same time excluding "fly
by night peddlers. Meanwhile,
the watklns firm will open a
store and operate by the card
system.
