' Secretary WASHINGTON UPI) - Secre tary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman has joined the swelling c horus against any new wheat leg islation this year in the event farmers defeat the administra tions 1964 wheat program in the Slay 21 referendum. "I would not sponsor any new legislation in the event the pro posed 1964 program is defeated,"! Freeman told reporters. President Kennedy earlier had said that when the 19M program w as authorized by Congress last fall "no new wheat legislation was Inlended or is needed this year." , Administration congressional leaders have said there will be no new legislation in the event the Authorized program is turned down by producers. At least two thirds of those voting in the ref erendum must approve the pro gram before it can be put into effect. Freeman said he didn't believe the administration could persuade ('digress to pass new wheat legis lation in the event the proposed brogram is defeated. , BUUCTW WO.

Freeman The program calls for light pro auction controls in return lor a price support rate of $2 per bu.-h- el. It larmers turn down the pro gram, those who comply with acreage allotments will be eligi ble for a support rate of about $1.23 per bushel. Charles B. Shuman. president of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, has fought the wheat pro. gram bitterly. He has predicted it will be defeated "in almost every section of the country." Freeman said he believes farm ers will get out their pencils and paper, do a little figuring, make an economic judgment, and ap prove the program strongly. He said if the program is ap proved "we've got the wheat problem (of overproduction' licked."

Research OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Dividends measured in multi million dollar totals come from agricultural research in Oregon every year, a report prepared by F. E. Price, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon State University, reveals. Dramatic advances are being made in agriculture and they're not coming by chance. Price said. "They're coming from research." In terms of "no-inflation dol lars." cash receipts from farm marketings have doubled in Ore gon since 1925, Price notes in his summary on accomplishments of the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station.

A brand new variety. Gaines, promises to boost yields perhaps as much as 20 bushels to the acre in the area around Pendleton.

TU 4-4141 Branches in Lakeview and Alturai cultural year aggravated food shortages throughout Eastern Eu rope. Shortages were especially acute in East Germany where meat and milk production were reduced. Use of nitrogen has , increased 15 to 25 per wheat yields by cent. Sagebrush land that was once nearly worthless is being re claimed and seeded to grass for cattle. Research on chemical con trol of sagebrush, best grass varie ties, and development of a special seeder make it possible. Oregon's $20,000 grass and le gume seed industry was developed from research at OSU, Price points out. This, in turn, brought a $4,000,000 seed cleaning and pro cessing industry in Oregun. Research on winter pears has produced storage and ripening procedures that opened new mar kets. Winter pears are now a $15,- 000,000 industry in the stale. Cur rent research at OSU is expected to add 6-12 weeks more to the storage life. Sprinkler irrigation has brought thousands of acres under water, License Needed For Egg Selling Those eggs you sell may mean you need a license from the Ore gon Department of Agriculture. This note of caution was issued this week by the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture. Egg producers and dealers, who sell graded eggs to retail stoics. cafes and bakeries must have permits from the department. The license does not apply to all producers, however. Listed by Kenneth Carl, chief of the Dairy and Consumer Serv ices Division, as exceptions are: sales made direct to consumers or to licensed dealers; sales to consumers by retailer, who does not grade eggs and sells only lo those graded by other persons, and sales of ungraded eggs. Session City high school will be ample for delegates and visitors dur ing the state meeting, Wheeler believes. Members of the state grange executive committee were particularly enthusiastic about the seating capacity of the audi torium where some of the events will he staged, as well as of the gymnasiums where other meet ings are planned. Juvenile grangers (ages 5 to 14) will be holding their own sessions while their parents are meeting. Drill team competitions f o r grangers will be among the events that are expected to at tract large crowds. ...fftIV Inmet A vtila bit n tM ft " .Bafl Poor growing conditions in the soviet l'nion caused a 20 per cent drop in potato production from 1961. Russia also suffered a drop in cotton production. increased crop yields and quali ty, and generated a big sprinkler irrigation manufacturing industry for Oregon. Oregon growers of vegetable crops and small truits receive $46,000,0110 annually: the processed value of $110,000,000. conservative estimates ol an nual savings from the diseases that have yielded to research dis coveries include: fowl pox vacci nation for chickens and turkeys, $230,000 savings annually; pull- orum control of poultry, $400,000; selenium treatment for white mus cle disease and scours in lamhs1 control in dairy cattle, $600,000 brucellosis control in dairy and beef cattle, $1,000,000. Weed control in strawberries has been cut from $100 per acre 10 years ago to $20 per acre now. Controls have been developed for damaging deadbud disease in cherries, which in 11154 threatened the cherry industry in Marion and Polk counties. An OSU entomologist has de veloped artificial soil beds for al kali bees that are such highly ef fective pollinators of alfalfa seed that yields have been increased 00 to 500 per cent. Shifts in crops have come with research. Price continued. Grain and hay arc giving way to more intensive and higher-paying crops such as peas, green beans, ber ries and seeds. Both farmers and consumers benefit from the research, he em phasized. One farmer today in one hour can produce what four farmers did in the same time shortly after World War I. That same farmer increased his productivity three times as fast as the worker in in dustry between 1947 and 1958. The average American con sumer uses only 19 per cent of his earnings now to buy food, com pared to 56 per cent in Russia and 40 lo 50 per cent in most other nations," Price continued. "Just ID years ago too, food costs in America accounted for more than 23 per cent of the average family income. The United Slates is the world's largest exporter of farm prod ucts.

Study Shows Oregonians Bought . 74 Pints Oregonians purchased an aver age of .74 pints of milk per day for consumption in 1962 and 5.23 per cent of that milk was raw milk. These are some of the statistics compiled by the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture from figures gathered the past year from li censed producer-distributors and distributors. The consumption fig ure does not include the milk used on the farm where it is produced. The latest national figures avail able on non-farm milk consump tion were for 1961 wlicn the esti mated per capita consumption per day was set at .78 pints. The state exported more p a s teurized milk than it imported last year but these figures were reversed in the raw milk for pas teurization. "Export figures for the year were 4l.080.o:i3 pounds pasteur ized milk and 21,988,326 of raw milk for pasteurization.
