THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, jB54 , HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN 1954 Spud Estimate Lowered The 1954 potato crop estimated at 344 2 million bushels by the U S. Crop Reporting Service, is erne million bushel less than was indicated at the first or July, and 29 million bushels smaller than last year's crop is- eight per cent smaller than last year and 16 per cent smaller than the 1943 63 average. Except for the short crop in 1951, production this year is indicated to be the smallest In 15 years. In the 11 Western states, pro duction is expected to be four per cent smaller than last year. In Idaho, relatively low tempera lures in some sections near the end of July tended to retard growth, and a hailstorm on July 14 damaged some fields in the Twin Falls area. In general, how ever, growing conditions were rel atlvely favorable, and Indicated production in this state is the same as estimated a month earlier three per cent less than in 1953. Irrigation water in Wyo ming, Colorado and Nebraska is short, and yields are expected to average below last year. In Cen tral Oregon and in the- Klamath Basin, including Northern Califor nia, July weather was generally quite favorable for . crop growth and potatoes made excellent prog ress. However, in some field tops are small for this time of the year and unless a break in the weather appears between now and digging time, some growers feel that many small sized potatoes will result. Digging of early Russets in the Sanke River Valley and in cer tain areas of Washington has progressed rather smoothly during the past month, shipments from the three states, Oregon, Idaho and Washington, to the end of July were about a fourth larger than for the same period last year. Prices have been running higher than a year earlier and this trend is expected to carry over into the late shipping season. Vet's Mailbag A sharp increase in the number of "mystery letters" received by Veterans Administration, offices from veterans and their dependents has been reported to VA headquar ters, The net result, VA reports, is to delay replies while searches of records are made attempting to Identify the proper veteran. , Three important cautions to vet erans receiving checks for any VA benefit are passed on to vet erans: 1. If you mov .promptly notify the VA regional office ' handling your records of your new address; 2. If your monthly check is not delivered or you lose it, notify the VA immediately; 3. If you are receiving disability compensation and you return to the armed forces, notify the VA office Immediately. And here are a few point to keep in mind: When you write to the VA, you should Identify yourself with a C number which is assigned to your claim; or if you are a dependent or a beneficiary of a veteran, iden tify yourself, and the veteran by using the C-number. Under the law, VA reminds, VA checks for benefits may not be for warded by the post office to a new address. They must be returned to the U.S. Treasury. In the Tare instances where a VA check for less or more than the amount due is received, it should be returned promptly to the VA office handling the case for correction, VA emphasizes. Q.
