Klamath Area Field Day Scheduled For August 1 The Klamath experimental area field day will be held at the coiinty agricultural experi ment station Aug. 1. These field dayi are held to give the public an opportunity to observe the work that Is being done there. Visitors at the station will ob serve the progress that is being made in the reclamation of Class V land (land considered too alkaline for profitable pro duction). A small area of land In its original condition is being retained for the purpose of com parison. Of special interest to farmers will be the varieties of winter Early Spud Marketing Underway Marketing of the Oregon early potato crop is well under way with shipments during the first week in July totaling over 200 cars. This information came from the weekly potato crop review prepared by the OSC extension service from USDA market re ports and other data. For the most part these early potatoes move to the midwest and southern states of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana where the early crop has already been har vested. They encountered heavy competition from the greatly ex panded production in California and Idaho. Harvest in California has passed its peak but market ings are still heavy. This year, California's early potato crop is expected to total 304 million bushels. Since these potatoes do not stand up under storage, the entire crop has to be marketed in a period of about two months. In contrast, Idaho's late crop of around the same volume has a nine-month market ing period. Shipments to fresh markets from California the past week ranged from 300 to 350 cars a day. Relatively few of the Ore gon shipments have yet appeared at terminal markets. However, on July 8 Chicago reported the sale of some No. 1-A washed Oregon Bliss Triumphs at $3.25 a ewt., carlot track sales. These were somewhat immature stock. No. 1-A Calfornia Long Whites were mostly $4.15 to $4.25 a evrt. Big Hop Crop Seen For Year PORTLAND, July 18 (IP) A record hop crop is in prospect in the three coast state this year, the department of agriculture's production and marketing ad ministration reported today, al though Oregon growers are showing some concern over the spread of aphis infestation. The official government fore cast on July 1 placed Oregon's production at 21 million pounds, 3 per cent above last year's and 129 per cent above average. Pri vate estimates since then, how ever, the administration said, place the prospective crop at about the level of last year's. Growth in the past two years, they report, has not been quite up to standard. The government forecast for California is 22 million pounds and for Washington 15 million. Aphis infestation is appearing in many yards, the administra tion reported, but has not yet reached a critical stage. Concern is being felt, however, because of the shortage of dusting ma terial. Should the infestation become general, it is believed there would not be sufficient supplies to cope with it. Picking is expected to start about Aug. 15 as usual and to day's report said there were some indications of a shortage of labor at that time.

In addition, many new and promising spring types of wheat, oats and barley are be ing tested. In these trials are some high yielding, disease re sistant, stiff-strawed oat varie ties. With the coming of the Quaker Oats company to the west coast area, there will be a demand for good spring oats. Most of these will come frim high irrigated areas. Good spring wheat and barley of dif fering qualities are also in these trials. Program Enlarged The potato program of the sta tion is being enlarged to in clude the development and test ing of potato types. Seventy new varieties have been obtained. Many of these are being grown under cheesecloth gauges in the field this season to keep disease spreading insects from them. This material will be used in the greenhouse this winter in a potato Breeding program. Many of these new groups are very vigorous and disease resistant. Some of them may prove to have a place in the potato pro duction program. New forage trials are being established and alfalfa trials are being continued. The agriculture office hopes that the farmers and other inter ested persons 'will plan to at tend this "open house." Much of the day will be used this year so that it will be possible for vis itors to see both experimental areas. A light lunch will be served at noon. Wage Board To Continue The Oregon USDA wage stab ilization board will continue operations according to Aldcn E. Orr. wage stabilization offi cer in Portland. The Oregon office has been advised by Washington, D. C, that the work will be contin ued on the basis of authority provided in the agricultural ap propriations act of 1947. The program in Oregon, Orr states, will be operated on the same basis as during the last few years. This means that maxi mum rates provided in specific ceilings will continue in effect. Ceiling orders developed last year, such as potato harvesting operations in mamatn county, may be revised upward or down ward depending on the merit of the particular situation. Details regarding each of the wage ceil ing orders can be obtained from the Klamath county agent's of fice or directly from the Ore gon USDA wage stabilization office, located at 701 Pittock block, Portland, 5. The Oregon board is ready to review these maximum wage rate orders with laborers, farm ers and others who are interest ed in operations affected by tnem. 4-H Pig Feed To Be Revived The popular 4-H club pig feed- ing contest at the Pacific Inter national Livestock exposition in Portland will again be sponsored this fall by the Portland Union Stock Yards company after a lapse during the war years when the P.I. sponsored it. Prizes totaling S800 have been provided for this three-state con test in which each exhibitor must feed at least four pigs from the same litter for at least three months. The purpose of the con test is to teach 4-H club members to produce economically market hogs of the quality, weight and limsn most in demand, according to L. J. Allen, assistant state club leader. Exhibits from each of three districts in each state first com pete separately, after which a champion and reserve champion pen are chosen from the nine dis trict winners. Top district prize is $20 and the champion prize $40. Any club member in the three states of Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho is eligible to com pete. . -A Xcwi iiffiW tfsttw Al Farm Safety Week Slated Nutioiinl Farm Safety Week will bp observed In Kluiuiith county July 21 to 27, umirdliiK tu C A. llrmlrraun, county agent.

Oregon's Crop Outlook Good PORTLAND, July 18 OP) Oregon's crop production pic ture continues favorable, with record yields expeiiUxt for pears, berries, walnuts and filberts, the U. S. department of agricul ture reported today. Tree fruit prospects are par ticularly encouraging, with a 7 per cent increase over last year expected. The field crop acreage is 2 per cent greater than last year and about the same as for 1944. Field crop production will equal the high 1945 level. The July 1 pasture condition was less favorable than that of a year ago, but recent rains have helped to provide better than average feed. Milk production per cow con tinues on a high level, but due to reduction in numbers, the June production was 2 per cent under June, 1945. June egg production was 20 per cent under that for May and 7 per cent less than in June ot last year. The total was 39,000, 000 eggs. The whale shark, largest liv ing fish, has teeth only an eighth of an inch long which are useless for biting. Two Women Graduate From Police Academy PORTLAND.
