SUNDAY, MARCH 18. 1956 HERALD AND NKWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Bumper Crop May Result This Year WASHINGTON m Unless farmers change their plans belore planting time, they are likely to turn in another bumper harvest this year. This prospect was painted by an Agriculture Department report laie Friday. It indicated that tanners planned on March 1 to plant 352 million acres to commercial crops. That would be about three million acres less than last year HOPE EXPRESSED But the Eisenhower' administra tion has expressed hope of getting a cutback of at least 35 million acres. It is trying to reduce production and to make openings ,in the market for govemment-held surpluses which, officials say. are 'depressing farm prices and in comes. I such a reduction is the goal of ia. soil bank plan recommenued by President Eisenhower early this Jyear and included in an omnibus farm bill now before the Senate. t, In forecasting this year's acre age, the department said, however, "that there still is a possibility of getting a larger reduction if the isoil bank legislation is enacted before spring planting, is com pleted. Planting gets Into full swing .next month. Under the soil bank plan, the J government would make payments ! to farmers for reducing plant of jsurpius crops. I No forecast was made on the 'possible volume of production from the prospective acreace. but with (favorable weather it could easily Iproduce a harvest approaching last year s near record output. 'REPORT shows I The report showed that livestock ifeed grain crops may furnish the 'major part of the total reduction ,in acreage from last year's level, i But an indicated cutback of 3.900, 0C0 acres in corn would be far 'short of a 10 million acre reduction sought by the department, i An oversupply of feed grains has been blamed for Increased produc tion of hogs and a consequent , sharp decline in returns from meat I animals in the politically important 'Midwestern farm area, f Besides corn, the planting survey .indicated smaller acreages this year for oats, barley, rice, pota' itoes. sweet potatoes, peanuts, dry J beans and tobacco. I Increases were indicated for I spring wheat mostly of the durum 'type soy beans, hay crops, dry ,peas, sorghums, and sugar beets. Ship Collides With Destroyers . NORFOLK. Va. OH The Italian 'freighter Laura Lauro. lashed by Ihigh winds and seven-foot tides, .banged into two destroyers at the Navy's convoy escort piers here Friday. Little damage result ed, however, and there were no Injuries to personnel. Witnesses said the Laura Lauro was heading downstream when a, gust caught her and headed her toward the pier. The freighter dropped anchor to fight the drag but near the end of the pier, her stern swung into the destrover Wilson and the destroyer escort Plllsbury. The stern and after depth' charge racks on the Wilson were damaged and the Pillsbury re ceived dents in her stern plates, j The Laura Lauro's damage was insignificant. ,v 1 Morty Meekle I'M 6CXN6 X FIXVOJR ) I 6HENOTMY -OEVrT-' 3 M0ER ttiY ' MOTHER.

That legislation- would set up a soil bank plan under which farmers would be offered government pay ments to reduce crop acreages as a means of reducing present price depressing surpluses. In advocat ing this plan the administration sought in particular reductions in acreages of cotton, spring wheat and corn. In making its spring wheat fore cast, the department did not break it down between durum wheat and other spring wheat. That will be done In later production reports. sined Thur-day.
