II PACE I Clear Cut Issue On Spud Support Asked; Surplus Stocks Are Big Problem Representatives of the pulnlo pro ducing areas woitittl lip tlirlr mrrt Ihll In Washington thin week.

Mil Kurplui Prospect (or a 2U lo 25 million bushel surplus of potatoes bclweru May 1 nnd October 1 hull presented a bis lask for the drpiirtiuent of agriculture but nil olllcinls lo whom e hove talked Insist thnl adequate milieu for the surplus hnve been arranged. If till In correct, mid we rtilvt every reason to believe that Spud Goals Fall Short In Klamath At the present time It look though potato grower have not planted their gnati In Klamath rounlr and the Klamath basin, flrowera In Klamath rounty have made adjustments on their Intended acreage and at present this Indi cate epproilmatrly 11,600 acres. Thli compares with allghily more than 10.000 acres planted In 1M7. but la roughly around 1&00 acres under the Luued goals. Oeneral miorme tlon Indicates about the same condi tion prevails In the southern end o( the valley and that some goals have not been planted fully on the Cali fornia side n( the line. Thla would Indicate that the Klamath baMn erreage perhaps will be over 17.000 arrea hut under in 000. which Is around 3100 arrea below the luued goals. This Is also more than 10,000 arrea under the high point reached In IMS of M.Ott acres. Under the stress of war, the Kla math basin potato aereage reached wjeo in 1 04 J i u.aoo In IM4: ta.ooa hi IS44 and then dropped bark to I It. 124 acre In IMS, with a further 7 decrease of 11 af this acreage to a tout of slightly more than 15.000 arrea In 1M1. The land planted tills year la of uniformly good quality and the seed perhaps averaged the best ever planted here. A total of nearly 400 rare of certified seed were purchased from outside the district and nrarly all the balance of the planted acre age wa from local certified seed slock. With (avorable weather con ditions, even though planted some what late, this year's yield should be somewhat better than that In 1047. The 5-polnt program o( the Kla malh Potato Clrowers e.uiorlatlon seems to be bearing (rult. This pro gram Is: 111 good Innd, (3) good seed, .(3) rogulng, (4) dusting. Ii defoliation and early harvest, If necessary. It Is, there will be no polntoes dump ed by the government this year. We do know that ono lame alcohol outlet wus unknl lo prepnro lor a maximum of !!(X) curs dally. Reply by this outlet wu to tho effect that It could uno us many n 300 cms dully II tno potatoes could be pro vided, (lovernmiint support progruin men (ully exiecUad to havo some duys tluiing the Kern county (leu I In Culllornlu when they would have to lake as many as 300 cars In a single day. To dale, their largest single duy (or government support buying In I tic Kern county area w as 04 cars. Currently, rains in some areas In which I'.arvr.itlug Is In progress have reduced shipments and firmed the market lo some extent. Thla Is thought lo be a "wealher market," however, and with the surplus now In sight for the summer and full ! months, prices are likely to average out fulrly clone to I he sunimrl level. California has been miming around a nickel above supimrt lo a nickel uniler, whereas tho Rust has held to a higher level. Florida went through May to the end of lis season at 05 cents over support and other eastern deals so far huve been hold ing up generally above the support level. I.ate Crop ftood Prospect for the late crop deals now Indicate a somewhat belter dis tribution of the cropa than was I lie rase (or the 1047 deals (or which the big surplus was In the Cast with a much shorter crop In the West. Dis tribution of the crop from the 1IM8 harvest is likely to be better than tor the past drol with a somewhat better price balance than prevailed dining the pasl season wlirn the Weal received much belter prices than did the East. This Is not yet a foregone conclusion but la Indi cated by arreage figures and wealher conditions lo dale. Many things can happen between now and Ihe actual movement to market from the late states. Most disturbing factor In the fu- i ture outlook for potatoes Is that government records appear to show no Justification for support at murh above 00 per cent of parity. So far as we know, no government agency has even hinted that this would be the proier level at which to support potatoes after the end of Bteagall support, now scheduled for Decem ber 31. rrom what we can learn of these records, however, this appears lo be about the figure at which potato prlres could be supixirted without endangering the domestic upply. Our own survey of the st. tlstlral work done for congress Indl catea thai a general support for agricultural commodities at the (10 per cent level would be operated without cost to the taxpayers.

Farmers and storkmrn who have used DDT fly control sprays know ihe real mean ing of this cxprc.vdon. Horn (lies, the hwet that put the original switch In the cow 's tall, are readily controlled by DDT sprays. Horn (lies are the little black (Ilea that congregate on cat tle during late spring and summer months. . It was not until DDT came Into use thai we found out Just how really expensive the switch was. In tests which have been carried out, trrated rows gained 43 to 51 pounds and calves gullied 47 to 70 pounds more per animal than untreated cows and calves. In some states, dairy (armrrs report 5 to 15 per cent more milk Irom cows a(ter being treated with DDT than they had before when cows were heavily Infested with flies. A few horn (lies have been ob served. They haven't made much headway yel. but l( (lies come, sum mer can't be far behind and more (lies. DDT sprays will get them. Four pounds of 50 per cent wet luble DDT powder In 100 gallons of water is the recommended spray mixture. Apply at 300 pounds pres sure to assure good penetration of the animal's hair. From one-half to a gallon of spray per animal is necessary. For one or two animals, prepared DDT sprays are good. The nature of Uieu sprays requires that less material be used, and more fre quent spraying Is necessary. lost in the weeds. Visitors are welcome to the meet ings and have been attending. At the close of the business session re freshments are served and games are played. Juanita Ledesma, reporter. Classified Ads Bring Reel Results!
