Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Growers Yarned To Plant in:, Within Wheat Allotment To Avoid Any Penalty With spring wheat planting time approaching, William Burnett, chairman of the Klamath Agricul tural Stabilization and Conserva tion Committee, urges wheat grow ers to plant within their allotments Grain Storage Lack Feared A recent survey of grain storage in the Klamath Basin shows thut storage is Inadequate in this area, according to county extension agent, C. A. Henderson. Grain production is nearly 7 mil lion bushels per year and total stor age available seems to be only slightly over four million bushels, counting the present storage and that under construction. With heavy grain crops indicated this year, storage is estimated to be more than 30 per cent short of requirements in Oregon. The moth ball fleet in Fiiget Sound Is being activated for grain storage to enable elevators to get rid of last years crop, in order to store this years harvest. To aid In this serious situation, the government is making loans up to 80 per cent of the cost, repay able In four years, lor the con struction of storage facilities. These construction costs con be charged off as expenses In five years. It should be kept in mind that while grain prices are supported, ade quate storage must be provided, Henderson stated. Without tills storage, supporting loans cannot be made. - Information on facility loans can be secured at the ASC offices at the Tower Theater. APPLICATIONS CHENEY, Wash. Ifl A "sur prising number" of applications have been filed for the job as president of Eastern Washington College of Education, Charles A. Oonser, a trustee, said Tuesday. "Many of them are college deans and others are presidents of other c&lleges," Oonser said. "The op portunity to live in the Pacific Northwest lias appealed to several candidates." if they want io avoid overplanting penalties. Allotment notices have been sent to all wheat growers of record In the county.-. Chairman Burnett' explains that the wheat acreage on all farms will be measured by a representa tive of the ASO office before har vest. Farmers who do not receive notice of overplanting will be eli gible for' a marketing card which entitles them to market their wheat penalty free. Those who overplant will not be entitled to a marke ing card until they have disposed of their excess wheal as directed by pne county committee. Tlie penalty on excess wheat, ac cording to the chairman, is 45 per cent of the May 1, 1954 wheat par ity price and will be cnargea against all the wheat sold from a farm unless the farmer presents a marketing card or marketing cer tificate. He explains that the' ex cess wheat Is the normal yield per acre times the excess acres. The grower of excess wheat has four choices, Burnett pointed oui He may: 1. Pay the penalty in cash. 2. Store the excess wheat pn the farm, furnishing a bond to the county committee, or pay the pen alty to the county committee, to be held in escrow. . 3. S'.:re the excess wheat in public warehouse and furnish the county committee with warehouse receipts. 4. Turn the excess wheat over to the Secretary of Agriculture by signing the appropriate forms at the county ASC oliice. . Grain buyers also have a respon slbillty under the program) accord' ing to the chairman. If grain is bought from a farmer who does not have a marketing card, or marketing- certificate, the buyer is sub. iect to the penalty on the wheat purchased. The wheat involved is subject to a lien in favor of tlie U.S. Treasury. To oe sale, uie ouy- er should deduct the per-bushel penaltv at the time of purchase, holding such sums and the approp riate sales records for later dispo sition as directed by the county ASC office. A marketing card or marketing certificate presented by the producer at the time of sale is evidence to the buyer mat the wheat is free from penalty. Mi;s THE LADIES ARE BACK IN BUSINESS . .

Butte Valley Shows Three Sources For Irrigation (Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a seiires by the Butte Valley SCD directors on "Know your con servation district,") There are three main sources of Irrigation water supply within the Butte Valley SCD: Stream flow or gravity water mostly used for ear ly season irrigation; pumped water from wells and sumps in use for irrigation from May until Septem ber and lastly flowing year long spring water found on the D Ranch, J. P. Ranch and the Willow Creek Ranch. Gravity water is derived from Antelope Creek, Butte Creek, Piae ther Creek, Willow Creek and the several streams that flow onto RC Sponsors Are Guests Junior Red Cross teacher spon sors in local schools were guests of the Board of Directors of the local Red Cross at the regular noon meeting March 15 at the winema Hotel, rne annual mem bership drive In the junior organ)' zalion has been completed with all city grade school children enrolled.

Butte and Antelope Creek water Is used mostly for spring irrigation by the Butle Valley Ir rigation District. Of these several streams, only Willow Creek offers a good, possibility for a damsite to store water for irrigation use. The pump water potential for the valley Is an unknown factor al though during' the past several years the underground water sup ply has held up quite well the static water level has dropped dur ing late season Irrigation but has again reached normal pumping le vel by the following spring. The real test of pump water potential will be determined in future years in accordance with the seasonal precipitation and the pump water used. As of January 1, 1954, a total of 110 irrigation wells have been drilled that have been suitable tor irrigation. During 1953, 30 new wells were drilled for irrigation In tlie valley, of which 24 were in use during the season. Of the 110 wells (discounting wells not suitable tor irrigation) a total of 86- were in use for Irrigation during the 1953 .season. There Is no simple way of determining the exact number of acre feet of water pumped for lr ligation use but an estimate can be made as follows: Assuming that 40 of the lrrlo tion wells were operated day and night and the other 46 wells were in operation half time, each with a 1500 gallon per minute capacity, we arrive at total water use in ex cess of 48,000 feet for the season of about four months. The crop using the greatest amount of irrigation water in the valley Is potatoes, followed in or der by pasture, alfalfa, alsike clo ver and small grains. As might be expected, the deep, sandy loam soils of the valley require more frequent irrigation than the heav ier textured sous.

Timber Stand Improvement Eyed WASHINGTON Wl Sen. Cordon (R-Ore) Monday introduced a bill to permit use of up to 10 per cent of national forest timber sale re ceipts to improve timber stands. The expenditure would be subject to appropriation by Congress and could be used only in the states from which the proceeds were derived. Cordon said the program would be of particular value in the pine area of Central Oregon where open stands could be trimmed to permit long smooth growth Instead of Umby tree development. Figure Told WASHINGTON Ul Industrial production dropped In February, by seasonal standards, for the seventh straight month, the Fed eral Reserve Board says. -. The February decline about 1.6 per cent brought seasonally adjusted output at the nation's mines and factories to a level 10.3 per cent below the all time peak registered last May and equally In July. . Output last month was slightly above that for January, but did not come up to what the board considers normal Increase for this time of year. . Seasonally adjusted production In February was measured at 133 points compared with 136 in Jan uary and 137 at the May and July peaks. The board's adjusted index In February a year ago stood At 134 11 points, or about a per cent, higher than last month. The board attributed this Feb ruary's drop mainly to a further decline In the production of prim ary metals pig Iron, steel and non-ferrous metals and In metal fabricating. Non durable goods production continued strong.
