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

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.

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.
