EC II PACE 2 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON THURSDAY, MAY 20, T'U8 National Potato Letter Potato Supply Outlook , From Early June Until Fall Not Good For Market ' rttaU supply outlook, from early June until hurt! la the lilf crop starts, hi Dot good marketwise. Last official crop rrport for the spring and lummft hmaU shows pros pects for approximately millioB bushels, which Is 1 million basnets tore than the large crop of laat Kuoa. Barring extreme effects of anfavorable weather, tha proapert Is for a burdensome volume from new mntil the first of the late crop begins to come ont of the ground. Major headache in this situation will be In the hands ol the govern ment Growers are protected by the price support program, which con tinues under existing legislation until the end of IMS. and by the fact that support prices, currently at approximately 30 cents above last years, are likely to continue at this higher level during the spring and summer hervest season. Late crop supports are likely to be fully 3S cents over the previous season. Gov- Deadline Set For Potato Goal Report By C. A. HENDERSON. Comity Agent The county AAA committee has set May 2ft as the deadline for re ceiviiic downward changes in potato goals. The committee Is asking that all growers who do not intend to plant their f ml goal, as given them, report before the expiration date to the county committee, changes In the acreage they intend to plant This Is particularly important for I two reasons: first, it makes it pos sible to determine the actual planted acreage in the county this year, and secondly, growers save money by paying on the eligibility certificate only on the acreage planted and not on the goal After May 25th. if the issued goal is 25 acres and the grower does not report the fact that he Is only going to grow 15 seres, he will be charged on the basis of 25 acres at the average county yield of 150 sacks per acre, which would re sult in paving a fee on 10 acres that would not be planted. Cards have been sent by the coun ty committee to all potato growers on record who have had goals issued them and these cards are now being returned at the rate of approxi mately 30 to 40 daily. eminent bought some 15 million bushels to support prices for the early commercial crop the last sea son and is likely to take at least 25 per cent more potatoes this season in order to make price support effective. Prospects for immediate approval by congress of a long-range farm program are not favorable despite what appears U be the politically influenced statement by President Truman to the effect that congress should take action now upon long range operations to protect fanners. Any such effort at this, time likely would result In a half-baked type of legislation. Congress knows this and will not heed the Truman re quest. Instead, it will pass con tinuing legislation to estend price supports but upon a sliding scale of support levels. Present thinking for potatoes is that they would oe supported, alter expiration of the Steagall amend ment, at between 60 and 70 per cent of parity, with no regulation. At 70 to 80 per cent the present acreage goal and grade requirements would apply.' For support at from 81 to 90 per cent of parity, marketing quotas would be imposed. Acreage quotas already have shown their ineffect iveness and even in the future likely would be offset by the continuing trend toward increased yields and the shift from low yielding areas to areas in which the per acre out turn is high. All of these proposed operations add up to the determina tion that government price support for potatoes shall no longer be used ; to supply an incentive for produc 'ion for sale to Uncle Sam. Other i than for IMS crop potatoes which are under loan as of December 31, IMS, the $0 per cent of parity sup ! port for as many potatoes as growers wish to market appears to be headed 'for oblivion. Currently the market supply has bulged. Track holdings are but little changed from a week ago but ship ments during the past week ad vanced sharply from 4257 cars the previous week to a total of 5454 cars for the last seven-day period. Shipments of old stock held with but little change from the previous week and all but 38 cars of the in crease was from the early areas. Government purchases for the week totaled 328 cars, compared with 284 cars the previous week, leaving a net gain in tonnage rolled to com mercial markets of 1153 ears over the week before. New crop ship ments for the past week accounted for 49 per cent of the total cars. compared with 33 per cent of the total for the previous week.

May 20 t1 The state agriculture department Is doing preliminary work to control cherry fruit fly in the three-county con trol area of Linn. Polk and Marion. Spraying or dusting is compul sory in those counties, but the de partment said it Isn't tune yet to do It Cages have been placed In or chards to determine when the fruit fly emerges. The emergence time will be the signal to start the spray ing and dusting program. All trees must be treated within 10 days of the emergence date. The 10-day period is set because the fly begins laying eggs under the skins of cherries within 10 days after it emerges.
