Lust yeur 20 per cent of the total nlsikc clover seed In the U.

Klamath alalko seed pro duction averugea 420 pounda per aero, as compared to around, 70 pounds per ucre In midwest stutes. Henderson told of the im- fiorlunco of the new winter har ry In tho pntuto ulslkc-brewliig barley crop rotation cycle. Win ter barley is proving a boon to Klamath farmers through heav ier yields plus earlier harvest ing enabling the grower to make summer or early fall planting of alalke which yields heavier than aprlng pluntlnga, Over a million dollara was spent In Klamath county ulouc luat year for land leveling, Hen derson said. This belle land use, and bringing bench laud un der Irrigation, will uccniinl for much of Immediate crop In creases. Trurk crops will ex pand materially oniy when farm iubor becomes less of a problem to growers, he predicted. Walt Jendrzejcwaki waa chair man of the day. Crop Volume To Rank High Jn the June report, the crop reporting board of the U. S. de partment of agriculture esti mates the total volume uf crop production In this country this year will rank well up with tho tremendous production for the past four years. It will Include probably a bil lion bushel wheat crop for the third year In a row. a record early potato crop, and more fruit than usual. There will be almost as many peaches as lust year, fewer pears, gropes and prunes, and more cherries, plums, apricots, figs, avocados, olives, cranberries, and dates than either last year or average. Favorable spring weather, early and lush feed for pastures, and generous feeding of concen trates have enabled farmers to get a record flow of milk per cow,' almost as much milk as last year with fewer cows. Of course, some dairy farmers are already feeling the effect of tight feed supplies, but the June Increases In celling prices of dairy products tend to keep dairy products , prices fairly favorable compared to feed prices. So far this year, the fewer hens on rurms have laid well. Egg production the first five months of the year was above the same period lust year and nearly a third moro than the 10-year average. Due to scarcity and higher feed coats, prices of eggs, chick ens and turkeys are conaldcrubly less favorable compared to feed costs than they were a year ago. Flaxseed Crop Payments Due Price support payments will be made by the county agricul tural conservation (AAA) com mittees to Oregon producers on 1D48 crop flaxseed. Payment will be In the form of a sight draft issued by the committee on the basis of sales receipts submitted by the producer, showing that the flaxseed was sold Into commercial trade chan nels, Halo of payment will be tho difference between the cell ing price and the suDDort price. At present this price is 23 cents a bushel. BACKACHE, LEG PAINS MAY BE DANGER SIGN Of Tired Kidneys It btKkKchannd tar painiarofniltlnryoa fnlirrm bit, don't Just complain nd tin nnthin bout thorn.

Hie lust week In May sot an all-time record for carloud movements of potutoes out of production areas. A total of 10,300 cars were ship ped from growing centers In the week eliding Juno 1. On May 29 a new single-duy record was made with reports of 2048 cars moved, substuntlully higher than tho two earlier records of 1A 14 curs on Muy 1.1, 1U2U, and 1531 curs on June 24, 1043. Keports suy that In general the potutoes are of good quality and are selling at moderate prices. The department of agriculture Is urging consumers to use pota toes liberally as an alternate for scar co breuti and flour. Poultry Lack May Continue For 2 Years PORTLAND, June 28 (Pi Chickens and eggs will be scarce in Oregon for two years because or the feed supply problem, a Pacific Cooperative Poultry Pro. ducers association spokesman predicted today. O. C. Keeney, cooperative man ager, said 23 to 30 per cent of the. state's luylng hens were slaughtered during the feed crisis which Keeney blamed on government mishandling of the grain supply. A 10-year setback In poultry experiments to Improve flocks and egg-producing strains was firedicted by Harry M. Brown, tend of the Oregon Poultry and Pet Stock association. They agreed that grain now Is arriving for feed but too late to offset the damage. Power Development Can Add Population GEAnilAFtT, Ore., June 27 P) An additional three million per sons enn be added to the north w e s t's population possibly within the next generation if power resources are adequately developed, delegates to the west ern farm economics conference were told today, D. L. Murlctt, assistant Bonne ville administrator, said that the northwest can add three or four million acres to Its crop land through reclamation and expand its electric power from two and a half million to 13 million kilo watts. "This result In Itself Is not hard to predict," he said, "but the Inning is more difficult to estimate," It depends, he sold, on regional Initiative, a renewed willingness of Americans to "take calculated risks," progres sive attitudes of government, re search and effective , regional management.'

NOTICE! The Fallowing Dry Cleaning Plants WILL BE Closed July 4-5-6 Chapman Cleaner Vanity Cleaners New Method Cleaners Standard Cleaners Cascade Cleaners New Needle Cuts Work Of Feeding A haystack needle thut cuts the work of cattle feeding to about a third of the. labor re quired by hand methods has been invented by Claude Butts of Baker county. This needle makes possible the threading of cables through a haystack so that an entire load of hay may be dumped off onto a feeding sled with one pull of team or tractor, This homemade device con sists of a needle point made from a section of a harrow disc. This Is welded to a threaded rod coupling, which screws on to a three-eighth Inch rod long enough to reach through the stack. Once thrust through the stack, the spear point Is replaced by a shielded hook with which a cable is pulled back through the hay. This process Is repeated with second cable, after which the ende of both are attached to the sled by chains, while the oppo site ends arc thrown up over the (tuck and bock across the sled. The same team or tractor that pulled the slca can men roll the part of the stack above the cables onto the (led with case. PMA Approves Grain Loans Approval of 1946 loan pro grams for Oregon's two leading grain crops, with loan values eight cents a bushel higher than 1043 for wheat and five cents a bushel for barley, have been an nounced by the state PMA com mittee. General provisions of the loan plan for both crops remain the same as the 1043 program, iiirnimh which more than $10,- 000,000 was loaned to Oregon producers. Details can be ooiain ed from the county agricultural conservation committee which again will handle the loans for the commodity credit corpora- ''"wheat loan rates will be at 90 per cent of parity as required by law. The terminal loan rate for Portland will be S1.37 a bushel for No. 1 soft white wheat. The county loan rate for barley will be 84 cenls. In cities over a million popula tion, it is estimated that each resident takes more than 420 rides a year on the subways, street cars, trackless trolley coaches and gas buses of his local transit system.

The beef cattle feeder subsidy of SO cents a hundred pounds was originally put into effect at a time when feed supplies were plentiful to encourage cattle feeding operators. Termination of the subsidy Is In line with the Spud Field Day Set For July 1 A field day for Klamath coun ty certified potato seed growers has been scheduled at the ex periment farm for 1 d. m. Mon day, July 1, A demonstration Dlantine of diseased potatoes will be inspect ed. The planting includes leaf roll, mild and rugose mosaic, green dwarf, velvet leaf, heart leaf, and mild and severe (trains of X virus. Both White Rose and Russet varieties are includ ed in the plot which was plant ed May 11. Dr. J. A. Milbrath. associate plant pathologist from Oregon State college, will be present to discuss potato diseases. Production bf potato seed In volves rogulng (removal) of dis eased plants and seed pieces as early as disease symptoms are apparent. The disease plot was established to familiarize grow ers with disease symptoms and to promote early roguing of dis eased plants from seed fields. Early roguing eliminates sources of infection and cuts down dis ease spread. Inspection of certified seed fields will start this year about July 10. Growers should make application for certification at the county agent's office before that date. Farmers Must File For Practice Pay Farmers who took part In the 1945 agricultural conservation program must file an applica tion for payment for conserva tion practices before June 30.
