If DoA repond to uch demands and puta any conilder oble quantity beyond the reach of com merctal channels, the year-end supply picture will look lUll better. If this la done, however. It will merely be doing now what nearly all ob. aervera agree mutt be done sooner or later. We can understand and sympath ise with DoA's reluctance to dump good potatoes in the face of world hunger, but dumping will be less costly now than later when sprout and rot de velop. So there Is good argument for doing It now when It can have a market bentflt as well. On the other hand, consumers have had no benefit from the abundant supply. Many people, in and out of the government, believe that they should and that price support opera tions should be geared to a policy of making good on grower commitments without making consumers pay twice once In the retail price and again in the tax bill. We do not pretend to know what DoA will do. but we confess that there Is no particular reason for deliber ately permitting accumulstions of poor stuff graded out of market shipment o mou wwt WITH DUD'S RtftL OKAV, DOC-Ja f s- . lF LEt DIDN'T 6ET "EM, f f AHH CONTACT'S B VftUT. .

Demand and Marksls I,ast week's trading shows signs of Im provement; probably due to light ship ments, low terminal stocks, car short ages, and the bulge in seed shipments to best the freight rale Increases. Mar ket show quick response to changes In the rate of movement as a result of hand-to-mouth buying and empty pipe lines. Idaho demand is reported light turning fair, the market mostly steady, prices a nickel to a dime higher at 5 to 10 cents over the floor. Washington iKIIensburg onlyt reports the demand very slow, the market generally dull and too few sales to quote. Term Ins) reports are sketchy, but show Chicago with a slow demand, the market a little stronger for large Idaho, about steady for others. New York ruled dull but with some new strength for Easterns and new slock slightly weaker to , dull. Atlanta ruled steady. Boston, dull but firming; Detroit, mostly about steadv with pecks unsettled; Min neapolis, dull; Philadelphia, old mostly about steadj- with some weakness, new weaker to dull. San Francisco ruled barelv steady with Klamath Russets bringing mostly M.00 to $3.13: a range narrower than last week with the top down a dime.

MAIN FLOOR let price find Its level and subsidise eligible growers: maybe a combination. Most of the talk Is just that. We have heard nothing we cn rely on as an in dicator, nor has DoA given any sign of what. If anything, it will propose. But you ran count on a thorough examina tion of the whole problem, and changes of some kind and degree. If traditional political thinking prevails. Iheie will he greater emphasis on marketing and les on acreage and production. Tills is good, within limits. Marketing refinement can go far, but there is no proof It can cope with runaway acreage. Lots of folks are wondering about the 194? acreage goals In light of UMtt final crop estimate. As we recall, we figured that total V. S. goal acreage would pro duce the needs of the country at a very conservative Meld of about 140 bushels per acre. Yields In IMS were IM bushels, then a new record. In IMA the almost Impossible figure of 1H4 bushels was reached. Yields would have to be cut nearly a fourth from 194 to keep the crop at the requirement level. Head scratchcrs want to know If a drop to 140 bushels is likely, and If not. what good U the t947 goal? We don't know what to expect of the weather, but It has been too goood too long. At the same lime, the shift towards high-yielding areas probably will continue. Yield probably will drop, but not by 44 hufthels. Obvious conclusion is that the goal la too big, but only time wtlt tell. WORTH IT! LESTER, Pa..

School Bus Delivery Slow The three new school buses badly needed and on order for the county school system, will not arrive for some time to come, according to word re ceived by the school board from the bus manufacturing com pany. The school board met yester day in the Veterans Memorial building. Harold Ashley, superinten dent of county schools, said that the bus company had informed him that lis production was cur tailed by shortages of materials and that the chance of getting new buses or repair parts is worse now than during the war.

It was during his re gime that tho Cox Creek and several other largo fires oc curred on the forest and it was largely because of the excellent manner In which ho handled these that he was promoted to the regional fire Job at Portland, New Stamps Tear Easily A noticeable "tearlblllty" of postage stamps has led to Inquiry of postal authorities. No data has been received at the Klnmath Falls post office from the U. S. post office department regarding a thinner type stock being used. Russell L. Griffith, assistant postmaster, stated that the post office staff had discussed the matter and drawn the conclusion that postage stamps may be printed on a lighter type stock now due to the paper shortage, or the perforations dividing the stamps are not as sharp and do not tear with tho usual facility. No notice of any change in ma terial used has been given out, he said. Whether the perforations or the paper is different, stamps to day do not stand up under the rugged ripping apart that pcoplo have become accustomed to giv ing them. They must bo carefully held now when being separated or the stamps will tear. Hillah Temple Election Held Paul D. Green.
