Scholarships Won By Two Navy Veterans Two "living war memorial" scholarships in dairying were announced this week by the Oregon Milk Distributors asso ciation for outstanding students attending Oregon State college. The scholarships are open to any boys majoring in the division of animal industries and are award ed on recommendation of the fac ulty. Co-winners of the 1040 schol arships arc Oliver K. Meals and Junius Covington, navy veterans who arc now mujoring in dairy manufacturing at OSC. Both arc residents of Corvallis. Through this scholarship the distributors' association hopes to Interest outstanding young men In the milk industry. "Produc tion and distribution of milk la of prime Importanro to the econ omy of Oregon," S. J. Kremers, Portland, president of the Ore gon Milk Distributors associa tion, " said. "Dairying returns more ensh dollars to the farmer than any other crop in the state. We are Interested In higher qual ity milk nntl wn believe this scholarship will pay out." Canada May Take Oregon Potatoes Because potato supplies in British Columbia arc exceeding ly short, Canada is issuing per mits for limited importation of U. S. No. 2 grade, 1! inch min imum size, from Washington, Oregon and Idaho and Modoc mid Siskiyou counties in Cali fornia. Purchases will be made at not less tiian support prices. Poultry Feed Situation Worse CORVALLIS, Jan. 24 ) Oregon poultry and turkey grow ers today were warned to be cer tain of feed supplies for 1040 be fore planning large flocks. Noel Bennion, stato college poultry specialist, said the feed situation has become worse than during the war years with dis tribution uneven and demand above supply. DEDUCTIBLE Income tax is here again, and wheat growers arc reminded Unit premiums for all-risk federal crop insuranco arc deductible from gross income as operating expense in computing a taxable income. Spring wheat growers have until March 10 to insure their 1040 crop. Contracts may be signed at tlio county AAA office I named by tiio county committee.

National Potato Letter 800-Car Gain Reported In Spud Shipments Last Week Shipments lust week Jumped almost 801) cars lo a totul of ftHOl, averaging UU5 per day. That checks the short-full' as com- purcd with lust season, but still leaves us uncomfortably far be hind with a long wuy to go. Seed remains the pressing prob lem, with southern planting areas urging special considera tion in furnishing cars for seed shipments. Increasing move ment during last two weeks will relieve some of the pressure, but seed probably will move too slowly to suit planters for some weeks to come. Incidentally, we hear trado rumors lo the ef fect that sonic of the 00 to 120 cars weekly being received from Canada, ostensibly for seed, arc being consumed in tablo stock channels. Too bad, if true, be cause USDA and Canadian gov ernment arc subsidizing poUito movement lo Canada for the benefit of both Canadian con sumers and U. S. potato industry. Seems a sad commentary on U. S. business to have to admit abuses of incoming seed ship ments. Hope it Isn't so. For the past week's shipments, Idaho increased 'i'i.2 cars, Maine slowed down with 07 cars below the previous week. Red Rlvcri Valley was up ZOO, other states changed by smaller steps but mostly up. Among the early suites. Southern California now has a total of 145 cars, with 20 last week; South Florida has a totnl of 454, with 178 last week; Texas Is moving very little, hav ing n total of only eight cars with none at all reported for last week. Early movement will have to be reckoned with after the next six weeks. Domand, Prices and Markets Round-up of murkcts shows most of them reporting demand slow to moderate, mostly slc and fair. Markets range from slightly weaker to steady. Maine has a slow demand, steady mar ket, price a nickel below to dime over ex-cctling. Idaho reports a fair demand, steady market, price 15 cents over ceiling. North Dakota demand has continued slow, market about steady for No. l's, slightly weaker for com mercials, price a dime under floor for No. l's with very few sales. Colorado, demand has ruled moderate, market about steady, price 25 cents over ex ceiling for washed stock. Wis consin shows up weaker, with too few sales to establish a mar ket. Michigan demand has been light, market slightly weaker, price 20 cents under ex-ceiling and dime over floor. Up-state New York, demand ruled slow, market about steady, price 10 cents over ex-ceiling. Belle Glade, Florida reported fair to moderate demand most of the week, with the market show ing a decidedly weaker tendency. Market was reported steady Tuesday, bul at a level 70 cents per cwt. below the avernfio of last week. Price is still almost $1.80 over ex-ceiling, but doesn't cause much commotion because of the small volume. In general, potato markets arc spotty but lower, showing the reaction from very light holiday shipments. This supports our belief that the trade is not ex cited, buying sparingly, appar ently expecting something to happen. In the terminals. New York reoorts a dull call for old stock, dull and slightly weaker for new, bearing out, tnc Bene uiaue f.o.b. report. Chicago has a slow demand, unsettled and slightly weaker tendency. Latest avail able report from San Francisco for 101 wholesale lots indicates a steady market but few sales, mostly Nevada Triumphs, at S3. 10. Atlanta held steady; Bos ton, dull for old, no new sup plies; Detroit, old steady, new about steady; Minneapolis, steady; Philadelphia, old dull, new dull and slightly weaker, same trend as New York. May be the butter shortage has some thing to do with it. Situation on old crop price support has not much changed. Industrial diversion is ended for the time being excopt for tarch. European exports are a question mark, partly account cars, part ly accottnt price levels. But the French need food, and our deal with tile French cannot be con sidered dead. Also, we still have plenty of spuds to move and time is running out. Therefore, look for more out o port move ment, perhaps with a shift to gulf ports to expedite the turn around of cars and for easier access to the midwest and moun tain producing areas. Volume ultimately will depend upon the willingness of industry to sell at support prices. Artifically high levels now current should not blind folks to the need for utiliz ing every available outlet. Canadians evidently still want U. S. potatoes. Deal now in cludes U. S. No. I, size B, and permits sellers with truck access to border to move shipments to or across border by truck, thus casing pressure on rail equip ment and making volume in crease possible. Canadian sales to date arc about 3400 cars. The 1946 support program still is under fire. Note that its schedules are headed "U. S. No. 1 quality," not U. S. No. 1 grade. Official explanation is that U. S. No. 1 quality is simply U. S. No. 1 grade in all respects, but with out tolerance for defects or un dersize. In otiier words, a car load could be 100 per cent U. S. No. 1 grade, but only 91 per cent U. S. No. 1 quality. This means that in selling a 450-sack car to USDA at $1.60 f.o.b. the seller would not necessarily receive 450 times $1.60, or. $720. He would receive 409 to 450 times $1.60, or S654 to $720. Looks like a scheme to promote tight grading, which is a good ob jective but the method may be open to question. Miscellaneous Brewster Bill (S. 1306) is be coming increasingly controver sial. It seems to be regimentation of the first order, but with an element of control in the hands of the industry through the ref erendum. At the same time, it would deny price support in the event of an unfavorable refer endum. Growers and the trade are asking a lot of questions, and we hope they are getting straight answers. Some groups (notably New York's Empire State Po tato club and California's Kern County Potato Growers associa tion) apparently are on record in opposition to the bill. Best thing in the situation is that it points up the inadequacy of the Steagall Amendment, which supports po tato prices unequivocally with out acreage control. Neither congress nor the country is likely to stand for the kind of expendi tures s u c h legislation could cost. Obviously, revision of price support ideas is of pressing importance. Question is wheth er Brewster Bill is the answer. January 1 stocks report and report of 1946 acreage intentions are due January 20 and 21. Com plete analyses of these important indicators will be furnished in a separate issue as soon as they can be prepared, along with com parisons with whatever acreage goal information is then avail able. UO Students Host To Dads UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene University of Oregon students will entertain their dads at the first postwar Dad's Day celebration on the campus Feb ruary 2 and 3. The two-day celebration has been planned for visiting dads by Dorothy Habel, West Linn, general chairman of the week end, and her committee mem bers. Registration Saturday morn ing will open Dad's Day activi ties, followed by the annual Dad's luncheon. Gene Vande neynde, Salem, president of the Oregon Dads, will preside at the luncheon, and Edward C. Sam mons, Portland, will speak on "Where Do We Go From Here?" Turkeys Raised By New Method An entirely new method of raising turkeys, the only one of Its kind in Klamath county, is being tried out by Dr. William Bundrant on his farm on the Merrill road. Dr. Bundrant raises his tur keys by the "battery method" of feeding, which was developed by J. C. Averill of the National Turkey institute of Columbia, Kan. The batteries, in which the turkeys are housed and fed, arc especially designed shelters 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, stand ing above the ground on two- foot stilts. The front half of the wooden structure serves as a pen, en closed in wire. The back is boarded and used as a house, complete with roosts. Housing the turkeys in pens and feeding them from bins keeps them from touching the ground from birth to market. By this method the birds avoid the many diseases carried to them by chickens and otner barnyard fowl. Dr. Bun drant believes another advant age of the battery method is that it prevents stampeding and the consequent loss of the birds in volved in range-fed turkeys. Advocates of the idea say that the battery-fed turkeys grow larger, and the meat is tastier and more tender than range-fed birds. As many as 5000 turkeys may bei raised on one acre of ground in the battery method. When Dr. Bundrant's turkeys were five months old, he esti mated that their average weight was 18 pounds. The Bundrants tried roasting some of their tur keys during the holidays, and Mrs. Bundrant remarked that cooking the bird took less than two hours. Dr. Bundrant first became in terested in his experiment last summer when he read about it in a magazine advertisement. He has 44 turkeys now, but hopes to be able to enlarge eventually.
