Newspaper Page TextPlan For Crops Told Willis C. Boegli, state crop In surance director, met with Lcw ii Botens of Henley, Ray Loos ley of Fort Klamath and Will Baldwin at Merrill, who are the crop insurance agents for Klam ath county under the federal crop insurance act, yesterday at tne local aaa ouice. Boesll outlined the crop insur. ance resulations and instruc tions for sales for wheat crop in surance. He pointed out that ex perience shows crop insurance losses from drouth, frost, plant disease, insects, wind, heat and migratory birds account for nmrlv 80 tier cent of all losses in Klamath county for wheat previously insured. Hail has accounted for 4 per cent of losses and no losses have been exDerienced yet from fire. While most farmers think of crop Insurance in terms of pro tection from hail and fire losses, these have caused negligible damage. While no crop insurance pro- gram was in effect nationally during 1944 and 1945, farmers have already made application for as much insurance effective for the 1946 crop as they had taken out under all previous program years. Congress has made extension i of the insurance program to other crops, dependent upon participation in, and the success of the wheat insurance program. If enough farmers show that they : want federal crop insur ance and that they want to ex tend it to other crops, congress will undoubtedly make such in surance available. ; Experimental crop insurance on potatoes has been promised for 20 counties in the United States for 1947. This insurance would be set up on a "cost of production basis," rather than on "yields," as in the present wheat insurance. Potato insur ance, general grain insurance and seed crop insurance are the three that would be most im portant to Klamath county, Boegli said. These programs have been set up and are ready to be put into effect when farm ers indicate to congress that they want such Insurance and uat they need it. jj Spring wheat growers have only until the 16th of March to make application for insurance for 1946. Extension Unit News ' Midland home extension unit met with Mrs. Albert Schmeck on February 26 with Mrs. Winni fred K. Gillen, Klamath county home demonstration agent, in charge. ' A very delicious meal was cooked by Mrs. Gillen, demon strating foods high in vitamin C. V Eleven members were present and the next meeting will be held March 26 with Mrs. John Mistier and cleaning walls and woodwork will be demonstrated by Mrs. Schmeck and Mrs. Lyle Hickman. Dairy Payments Go To July 1 !' Oairy production payments will be continued through June 30, with the rates for April, May ana June production tne same as for the corresponding months last year. For all Oregon coun ties, the rates for April will be 70. cents a hundredweight for wnoie mute ana 17 cents a pound for butterfat. , i- For May and June, the rates will be 35 cents for whole milk nd 10 cents for butterfat. The payments are subject to revision or termination in event there should be any general increases in price ceilings for milk and its products; : - - National Potato Letter Surplus Potatoes Could Be Used In Canada And France Surplus removal outlets prob ably could use most of the pota toes not needed for domestic fresh markets if price bulges do not come too frequently. French and Canadian outlets can use much larger volume than they have been getting if cars can be made available and the weather is right for moving volume ship ments. Two boatloads for the French already have left Beau mont, Texas; another cargo is nearly completed; with the fourth and fifth to follow as rapidly as potatoes can be pro vided. Latest reports say that Canada is feeling the potato shortage due to tne snort Canadian crop. Canada will be willing to in crease its imports from the Unit ed States, possibly to as many as a total of 10,000 cars. Also, dehydration is again a factor in cleaning up the late end of the stored crop. These are to be used for relief feeding overseas and Involve a dehydrated total of 10 million pounds about 1,300,000 bushels. Most of these are likely to come from the areas having the largest surplus of stored potatoes and the facil ities to dehydrate them. At any rate, they win help in the total movement that is needed to clean up the crop. New activity is ex pected in the Muscatine, Iowa, and Omaha by-products plants and perhaps some others, as et forts are made to shift from scarce grain to potatoes for pro ducing glucose and alcohol. To gether, with the fresh market demand, they seem to indicate that the late crop clean-up now is virtually assured. Supplies Owners of late-cron stored potatoes are watching the early potato prospects which will com pete with their stocks for the spring and early summer mar kets. Production goals set for the winter through the summer producing areas, call for 52 mil lion bushels. Acreages now in dicated with yields equal to the 10-year average, would produce just a little more than this quan tity. But yields in recent years have been high, so a conserva tive possibility would produce about 9.5 million bushels more than the production Eoal: and a repetition of the high 1945 yields would turn out a surplus of over 12.5 million above estimated needs. Prospects for these early areas favor better than 10-year aver age yields as production has shifted from low to high yield ing lands, there has been enough fertilizer available to meet grow ers' needs, and good seed has been plentiful. Weather is the only really uncertain factor so markets may be in serious trou ble before late May. This may come when shipments from North Florida, Alabama and North Carolina move to mar kets with the-crops from 72,000 acres in California. June mar kets are likely to be tough with Alabama, California and both of the Carolinas going strong, and the Eastern Shore and some' of the less important areas ready to roll. Currant Movement Shipments gained only slight ly during the past week. Total was 5689 cars 133 cars more than the previous week and a daily average of 948 cars. This is more than markets can handle, as evidenced by the fact that the total includes 204 government cars, plus the Canadian move ment. . Domestic consumption cannot use more than 900 cars daily. By states, there was a surprising jump in the week's movement with an increase of 751 cars from the Red River Valley, 130 cars from Long Island, 91 cars from South Da kota and 28 cars from Oregon, Some other states showed smaller increase for the week and de creases from the previous week were reported as 61 cars down for Colorado, 163 down for Idaho, 510 down for Maine, 44 down for Nebraska, and minor decreases in some other areas. Demand and Markets Current market reports gen erally show up' better than for some time with further strength ening reported late this week. In Maine, demand has been good with the market stronger at 25 to 30 cents ubove floor. Idaho demand has been moderate, mar ket stronger with prices at ex celling level. North Dakota re ports fair demand, market steady, prices 10 to 15 cents be low floor but with the trend toward higher levels as govern ment offers for export give hold ers more confidence. Colorado demand is improving, markets slightly stronger, prices about 5 cents above floor. Wisconsin demand has continued light with the market barely steady, price 5 cents under floor for very few sales. Michigan demand has been moderate, market slightly stronger, prices 5 to 10 cents over floor. Upstate New York reports moderate demand, mar ket about steady, prices 30 cents above floor. In Florida, new crop prices have sagged sharply. Lake Okechobee areas reported $2.60 per bag a week ago now at $2.40. Florida deal has shifted to the Ft. Myers are where cur rent prices are quoted at $2 to $2.05. Dade county, a week ago, was reporting sales at $2.40, now is down 25 cents at $2.15. De mand in these areas is moderate with the market tone currently about steady to slightly weaker. In the terminals. New York has held firm to slightly stronger of eastern old stock with west ern unsettled and new offerings slightly weaker. Chicago de mand has ruled slow, market about steady for best old stock with the demand slow and mar ket weaker on new. Atlanta has held steady for new, Boston firm for old with no new supplies of fered. Detroit Iras,. held firm on old and dull and unsettled on new. Minneapolis old offerings held firm on western and steady on northern with, now trading dull. Philadelphia reports slight, ly stronger oh old with new potatoes dull and slightly weaker, Government buying of pota toes for exuort to Franco and Canada may shift within tho near future from northern and east ern potato producing areas, to the west. Maine and Michigan have supplied a largo part of the export shipments to date but these areas o not now nave sizeable surpluses of .potatoes In need of diversion. Appearance of government buyers in some of tho Mississippi Volley and western areas in dicates that recent buying in the Red Rivor Valley of North Da koto and Minnesota, for export to Franco via Beaumont, Texas, may be shifted . to Colorado, Idaho and Nebraska potato areas. It is likely,- however, that the Red River Valley will continue to supply sizeable quantities for shipment to Canada, where the $100 a Month for Life Tkt GolJen Ytart Plan git wm: 1.
