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.

barley and winter wheat and a
demonstration of how Ihry fit
into a desirable crop rotation
system in this area.
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. .
