Eastern Spud Damage May
Be High; Shipments Fall
Off Sharply; Prices Up
lutein potato areas tUU are
bona dry, despite until local show
ers her and there. The moisture
deficiency can be made up now,
only by general and extended
rains, and even the fortunate Jew
who have Irritation are running
ahort of water.
New Jersey. Long Inland. Penn
sylvania, up-state New York and
lower New England are hardeat
hit. All of theae aectlona are mod
erate to heavy potato producer
and their crop are In eertoua trou
ble. In New Jersey, where only about
10 per cent of the potato land la
Irrigated, unofficial report say
that Cobblers are past the point
where they can respond to rain.
This means that at least one-fourth
ot the New Jersey crop will run
to B-tlxe potatoes.
other varieties also are showing
weather Injury and are at a critical
atage. One observer, probably too
pessimistic, talks of a New Jersey
crop only 30 per cent of normal.
This may be true of the Cobblers,
but some of the other varieties will
turn out much better.
Damage In other eastern potato
sections may be somewhat less se
vere than in New Jersey, but the
situation la serious everywhere
A trs more days without rains
could turn the 1M crop year into a
major disaster for eastern growers
other than In Maine.
Maine, In contrast with other
eastern areas, is In very good
shape. Total seed use in Maine
this year is reported as near nor
mal despite the reduced acreage,
and with ample rain so far the
Maine prospect Is for a record or
near record yield.
Mid-west potato areas also are
reported in good condition. The far
west, however, presents a picture
of contrasts.
Frosts were reported in Idaho
last week-end. Fields were not cut
down but were reported blackened
and damaged enough to seriously
threaten yields.
Klamath basin reported temper
atures as low as 1 degrees at Tule
1 a k e, although official airport
temperatures showed a low ot 31
degrees.
Damage reports to fsr are in
complete and provide no basis for
an accurate estimate of the drouth
damage. The official crop est
mate. due next week, win give the
first fairly dependable forecast of
the 1949 potato crop and even this
will not show damage subsequent
to July 1.
Shipments last week tell oft
sharply, declining from 534 cars
of the preceding week, to only
3932 cars. Southern California alone
accounted for 13M cars of the de
cline in tonnage. This sharp de
cline In California shipments was
predicted in our last week's report
and was pretty well dlscouned In
advance by the trade.
The southern section gained a
total of 335 cars over the previous
week. North Carolina Is pracu- 1
cally through but Its tonnage has
been replaced by Virginia, Texas,
has shipped Its first few cars and
will Increase rapidly.
The past week's smaller ship
menu will not tie reflected quick
ly In the terminals, as shipping
averages more than a week for
California potatoes to reach the
market. In addition, there Is a
market factor in the cold storage
holdings of potatoes. This tonnage
of unknown volume was shipped
earlier but Is held available for
consumption by operators who an- i
tidpated the current reduction of
shipments.

agent's office from Oregon State
college.
The new alfalfa developed at the
Southern Oregon branch experiment
station will be harvested for seed
from the 122 acres at the station.
Much Interest has been shown In
the new variety named Talent, In
honor of the pioneer for whom the
town of Talent was named. He was
active In the early development of
Rogue river valley agriculture.
This strain starts earlier In the
spring than most alfalfas and
grows later. It shows regrowth after
cutting much quicker than other
varieties also, and grows so dense
ly as to keep It free ot weeds and
gnus. Harold H. White, in charge
of crops work at the station, rec
ommends this type alfalfa for Its
strong disease resistance.
Meat Hog
Award Set
An award of 1200 In premiums as
well as a trophy will be made by the
Valley Packing company, Salem, for
meat hogs to 4-H club members at
the coming state fair.
Purpose of the awards Is to em
phasise selection and production of
top quality meat and one of the
contests will be a special pig feeding
competition.
L. J. Allen, state 4-H club leader,
state that four pigs must be ex
hibited from the same litter. Local
county agent must be notified of
- Uie entry by the 4-H elub member,
befnre pigs to be entered are 10
week, of age.
Judging will be done on the fol
lowing basis: dressed gradt and
