Elsenhower ha six mora cabi

and backers of Sen. Robert A. Taft
will be watching the President

TAft'a friends found Utile to

Dulles preserved outward neu

The Canadian government has
officially estimated1 its lS3 slsike
clover production at - 3.333.000
nounda according to report re
ceived here a. far cry front the
S.000,000 (Ml, 1.000.000 M or
even 9,000,000 (M) pound rumored
from numerous comers lew
weeks ago.
The official estimate is about
double last year's Canada crop,
but still is a little below the
Canadian average between 1937
and 1061 of 3.473.000 M pounds.
Agricultural economists are pre
dicting an upward swing will be
gin In the near future, with one
farm forecast, usually dependable
predicting now the alsike price to
growers here should nit the 40-cent
mark. Earlier It had set 44 cents
as a possible roof on thla year's
alsike price per pound.
At present local offers are ap
parently still nil. Talk Is still
down around the 35-cent mark
right at support price or little bet
ter. And apparently there la still
nothing moving.
Canadian use of alsike averages
around 1,500.000 M pounds, and
total U-8. shipments this year are
expected to bit around, the 1,000,
000 M pound mark. Early ru
mors were reporting some 4.000,000
M pounds of alsike already in
this country. Imports will be some
what larger than last year, one
factor that makes hlgber-than-40-cent
price Improbable, experts re
port.
The Oregon State Weekly Seed
Crop Review reports as of Nov. 17
Canadian alsike was being offered
at Midwest points -at 339.SO per
hundred pounds, freight and duty
paid.
The report states that both Ore
gon and national farm prices for
alsike were well below last year
as of Nov. 17, though Oregon bad
dropped the most, Lsst yesr, lt
points out, Oregon 'and California
growers received price well aoove
the national average. ,
Klamath Basin alsike, grown on
both sides of the stat line In this

among th highest quality, grown

makes a big difference.
u ne resigns Deiore Jan. 13, Pat.
teison Is expected to succeed nun
although there may be a court
test about that. Secretary of Stat
Earl NewDry may ligura in that.
If McKay resigns alter Jan. 13.

That Is expected to be Ben.
Eugene E. Marsh, 53, McMlnnvllie,
who says be has enough pledges to
be elected. The Senate president
is next in line to succeed iht
governor.
Of couru the Senate could elect
someone beside Marsh, knowing
the elected man would become
governor. Then the senator could
fulfill their obligation to Marsh by
electing mm presiaent.
Patterson is considered next in

out of office all right, except for
the Senate president and th
speaxer oi tne House, rnese re

resign before Jan, 13, so that th '
matter will not go before th
