It is generally believed that a part of this acreage will be planted to rice, but since ricn is also a basic commodity supported at 90 per cent of parity an in crease oi acreage in that crop will lead immediately to marketing quotas ond reduced acreage with little if any acreage allotment to new growers. This means that the majority of that acreage per haps will also be planted to barley, alfalfa and potatoes. Wholesale, Retail Price Investigated Members of Congress and nil segments of the livestock industry are showing in lei-en t in the re ported widening of the spread be tween prices farmers receive lor their cattle and the cost of beef at retail. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that from July to August the retail price of bnef and veal rose 6 per cent despite abun dant supplies and generally low cattle prices. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics and other agencies of the Department of Agriculture are examining the spread between the price the farmer receives and the price the housewife pays for beef.

The headqua: tors worn moved to the Horsefly Ianch when the reservoir was built by the Bu reau of Reclamation In 1923. Following graduation from the Klamath Hiah School he nttended the Universty of Oregon for one year and then went to work for Ihe American National Bank, now the United States National Bnnk. Alter several years in the bank ing business he accepted a position as an appraiser for the Federal Land Bank and when the Klamath Production Credit Association was formed In 1934, Gerber was selected as fin inspector and is still acting In that capacity.

Taking over active control of the 13,000 new ranch in 1932, Gerber has steadily Improved the farm and range land, and In addition to this deeded land has a permit to run 950 head of cattle on public land and has .10,000 acres leased from i Weyerhaeuser Timber Company I which provides summer pasture for organized in the United States.

I An outstanding Irrigation devel opment and land reclaiming pro gram has been underway on tne ranch since Gerber took over its operation. Much of the irrigated pasture and hay land was original ly swampy ground which failed to produce a maximum of forage be cause of poor drainage during the early part of the season. In 1338 it was decided that the productivity of the land could be increased by breaking up the na tive meadow, providing drainage, leveling the ground and providing a good irrigation layout. The first attempt at this Improve mcnt work proved so successful that the program has been con tinued until a total of 50Q acres has reclaimed and is producing excel lent hay, pasture and oats. Another 200 acres was leveled in Langell Valley and is used for growing potatoes, alsike clover and barley. To further increase forage pro duction, sulphur fertilier has been applied to alfalfa and Anhydrous Ammonia to the green pasture. On land from which one crop of hay was taken before being pastured, around three tons of hay has been cut. When two crops of hay arc cut before pasturing a yield of five tons per acre was obtained. The buildings, corrals and other improvements assembled on the ranch make Its management a pleasure and its operation effi cient.
