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. Would I be allowed to enroll
in two schools at the same time
under the Korean OI bill?
A. You would be allowed to en
roll at two schools only if one
school does not offer a complete
training program that will lead to
your objective, or if it would be
impossible for you to -complete
your program in time at one school.
