423 FARMERS AND GUESTS pulled up their chairs in the Armory Saturday for the 18th annual Klamath Production

California Side of Basin
Heaviest on 1951 Potatoes
Price ceilings on potatoes in the
Klamath basin became effective
on Jan. 19; This being the case, it
might be of interest to look over
a, few facts regarding potato pre
diction and marketing here, par
ticularly from the 1951 crop.'
In the first place, according to
county agent's figures, this year's
acreage is the smallest since 1947
and the second smallest since 1936.
The acreage can now be estimated
rather accurately at about 15.445
for the Klamath basin. This com
pares with 19,057 for the year 1950.
To the date of the ceiling, 6.400
cars had been shipped out of a
possible shipping total of in the
neighborhood of 10,000 cars.
For the first time in history,
more 'potatoes were produced on
the California side of the Klamath
basin than on the Oregon side.
- The Oregon acreage was a trifle
higher, but the yields were lower.
Reported yields indicated 3.366.000
bushels in Oregon and 3.584,000 bu
shels in California. Some adjust
ments may later be made in these
figures as shipping reports are
completed. Yields on the whole
were lower than in 1950, but aver
aged about 280 sacks per acre
which- is still a respectable aver
age. .
The reduction ' in potato prices
brought on by the price ceiling or
der will total approximately $2,000,
000 loss on those potatoes not yet
sold at the time of the; establish
ment of the ceiling. This loss might
Poultry Note
Shows Losses
The January, ' 1952, poultry and
egg report of the USDA shows
some interesting data on poultry
feeds and poultry products. .
In the middle of December, the
average value of poultry rations
per one hundred pounds was $4.66.
The average price of a dozen eggs
was 57 cents. It required 12 15
pounds of feed to produce one doz
en eggs. This would indicate that
the feed costs alone to produce the
dozen eggs was 56 eighty-five one
hundredths cents.
Carrying this out a little farther,
this would leave fifteen one hun
dredths cents to cover all other
costs going into the production of
this dozen eggs. This is not a
very encouraging picture for the
poultrymen. This table also shows
that it takes 5 one tenth pounds of
feed at $4.66 to produce a pound
of chicken. The grower receives,
according to this table, 23 seven
tenths cents a pound per chicken
or an actual loss of six one hun
dredths per pound.
be decreased If the growers' ap
plication for adjustment is ap
proved. This application Is now be
fore the Office of Price Stabiliza
tion representing all growers of
russet potatoes in Central and
Eastern Oregon as well as the
Tulelake section of Northern California.
Tule Office
Sets Meet
TULELAKE The annual Farm
Advisor's Conference has been slat
ed to begin in the veterans' train
ing school here Friday at 2 p.m..
according to Farm Advisor Ken
Baghott.
The conference is held each year
so that farmers may lay out the
advisor's work for the coming
year along the lines they feel work
should be done.
The conference is divided into
community groups, with farmers
holding each one.
Baghott said the meeting would
come off as though there were no
threats to the end of his office.
He said a meeting early in Feb

Siskiyou board of supervisors, and

New Farm
Chemical
Available
A new chemical known as EH-1
is now being recommended bv of
ficials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and experi
ment stations for controlling weeds
in strawberries.
This material Is closely related
to 2,4-D and apparently does a
good job without doing damage to
strawberry plants. It is also re
ported as showing no off flavors,
off colors, or malformation of the
berries. -
This new herbicide, according to
weed specialists, will be available
for the 1952 strawberry season. Ap
plication rate will be about three
pounds per acre on the average
but might vary on different locali
ties. Experiments by the depart
ment show that two applications
of EH-1 can control weeds' for the
season in newly set out strawberry
beds. When applied on clean fields
after the strawberry plants are
set, EH-1 acts as a pre-emergence
grassy weed killer.
On test plots it has kept weeds
under control for six weeks and
a second application following cul
tivation, controls weeds for the
rest of the year.
