On Poultry
SALEM (UPl) - Another hear
ing to consider proposed rules tor
importation of poultry and hatch
ing eggs into Oregon will be held
Feb. 4 at 1 p.m. in the State De
partment of Agriculture Building
here.
Dr. Glenn D. Rca, chief of the
veterinary division, said the de
partment had revised its pro
posals as a result of protests from
bird fanciers and hobbyists at the
Oct. 30 hearing.
The department now proposes
that pet stock and non - commer
cial birds may come into Oregon
without an entry permit and
health certification, under certain
conditions. The major condition is
that exempt birds or pet stock be
housed at least one-fourth mile
away from commercial poultry!
operations.

Support Loans
Deadline Near !
Jan. 31 is the deadline for price
support loans and purchase agree
ments on a number of crops har
vested in W62, Earl Wilson, chair
man, Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation County Commit
tee, said. The crops include wheat,
barley, oats and rye.
The chairman reminded grow
ers that good storage, which must
first be approved by the ASC
County Committee, is a requisite
lor obtaining a price support loan
on any farm-stored crop. While
the farmer himself is responsi
ble for storing a crop covered bv
a purchase agreement, the condi-
Uon ana quality of the crop will
be a determining factor in t h e
Spud Plant
Experiment
Conducted
The 1963 potato planting season
started on Jan. 9 at the Klam
ath Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion. This is part of the year-
round program of crop production
studies at the station.
Differences in sproulinc vigor
of seed polaloes from the same
storage have olten been noted by
seed inspectors. Those differences
have been attributed to produc
tion and harvest conditions when
the seed was grown.
An experiment designed to stu
dy these conditions was begun
at the Klamath Station in 1862.
Plot treatments during the sum
mer grow ing season included sev
eral different planting and har
vest dales and vine removal meth
ods. Production from these plots
was placed in storage and later
graded and weighed.
Seed from each of the plots is
being planted periodically in the
greenhouse to study the effects of
treatments of last summer's grow
ing conditions upon sprouting vig
or. Sprouting differences will be
measured and evaluated.
These studies are expected to
provide some information as to
u'hat are the most desirable pro
duction and harvest conditions for
good seed potatoes.
Law Soon
In Effect
Federal regulations ioverning
pesticides residues on raw agri
cultural products trill become
Oregon's regulations also on Jan
Director J. F. Short of the state
department of agriculture signedl
an order to this effect Jan. 4
The order followed a hearing TJc-
cember 28 in which adoption o!
the federal tolerances as Oregon's
reqiiircmcnls was at issue ex
cept no issue developed, as no.
one offered testimony cither for
or against at die hearing.
Federal pesticide residue loler-
products that move in interstate
commerce. For this reason, fed
eral tolerances are rather uni
formly used by the various
slates.
Moreover. J. D. P a I ( e r s o n.
SDA's chief chemist, points out
that tiie financial outlay for in
vestigations and studies at the
state level would be extremely
costly and time consuming. This
seemed unnecessary in view of the
(act that Oregon investigations1
presumably would come up with
the same results the federal gov
ernment lound ana uses m es
tablishing its tolerances.
Because changes occur rather
rapidly in (his field, the dcpart-i
menf anticipates it will need tol
hold periodic hearings to reviewl
the tolerances. I

voir, according to a report by the
USDA Soil Conservation Service.
Mountain snow pack is extreme
ly poor for this date with no snow
to be found below 5,000 feet eleva
tion.
Hater content of the mountain
snow cover is 33 per cent of the
January average and is only one-
fourth of that measured a year
ago. Temperatures need to be
more nearly normal to permit
future si orou to deposit snow
rather than rain on the water-1
:hej.
Heavy fall rains have re-1
charged the upper watershed sods
to about 80 per cent of the total
capacity. A year ago these soils
were extremely dry under the
snow pack and soaked up much
of the runoff that melting snow
should have provided.
Storage in Upper Klamath Lake
is 364. .500 acre feet compared with
269,708 a.. a year ago on Jan. 1.
This is an excellent start lor lbe
1963 season.
On the other hand, storage in
Gerber and Clear Lake is 20 and
40 per cent below the 13 year
average (1943-57). Clear Lake
holds 111,500 a.f. compared with
54,100 .. a year ago and Gerbfjr
holds 27,200 a.f. against only
2,600 last 'year. These two reser
voirs are completely dependent on
rain and snowfall and great- j
ly need large amounts of runoff!
to provide adequate water sup-1
plies next summer. I
Inflow to Upper Klamath Lake
has averaged J31 per cent of.
the 15 year average since Oct. li
and flow into Gerber and Clear
Lake has also been abeve nor
mal.
A normal snow pack on Klamath
watershed? this year should pro
duce excellent waler supplies be
cause the watershed soils are well
recharged.
Last year under the mandatory
1S2 wheat alabiiitaUon program.
636,939 winter wheat farms were
signed up to divert U.153,8221
acres irom 32,424,220 acres of al
lotments-. Under last year's pro
gram farmers were not required
to divert more than the manda
tory 10 per tent reduction from
allotments to be eligible to par
ticipate even though they may
nave signed to divert acreage
above the 10 per cent figure. As
a result, the actual diversions un-j
der the Met program were from
20 to 30 per cent below the acre
age signed for diversion.
This year farmers who partiei
pate must divert all of the acre
age signed up to be eligible for
price support or lor acreage ai
version or price - support pay
ments.
For farms signed up, possible
advance paymenta under provi
sions permitting about halt the
payments to he made now come
to 0,714,640. Of this amount, 5C2,-
001.447 has been issued to par
ticipating farmers.
Participating farmers will be
eligible for wheat price support
at $2 per bushel, national aver
age, ot uus, in cents per ousnet
w ill be an in-kind payment based
on the normal production of the
farm's acreage for harvest. The
remaining J1.82 per bushel sup
port will be available through
loans and purchase agreements
The International Cotton Ad
visory Committee I1CAO said
that despite the Inevitable ups
and downs in the textile cycle in
individual countries, in the aggre
gate the post-Korean period has
been one ol almost continuous ex
pansion in cotton consumption
To a large extent this can be
attributed to differences In tim
ing of the textile cycle in he
main consuming countries, the
committee said. The only break
in the upward movement in ag
gregate cotton consumption, which
occurred in 1957-58, had its origin;
in the lart that a downturn oc
curred simultaneously in Die
United State, Western Europe,
and Japan. These are the three
main consuming areas.
This observation is Important,
live committee savd, in the sense
that this tituaion could repeat it
self during the presen season. A
the moment, consumption is lower i
in all thc-e mam areas.
