County Agent Photos Farmers Building Pressure For New Wheat Pressure HERALD AND NKWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Tuesday, August 6, 1963 PAGE ALTURAS The Modoc National Forest supervisor, Bill Cooperrid cr, has announced a serious out break of bark beetle infestation in .10.000 acres of forested land in the South Warner Mountains. "The area of greatest insect con centration is between Soup and Parker crocks and extends from one mile inside the west boun dary of the National Forest to approximately two miles inside the South Warner Wild Area," Cnoperrider said. Forest Service entomologist, Dr. Ralph C. Hall, is directing a popu lation survey of the infestation, diet Smola of the San Francisco office of the U.S.F.S. and Bob Ronnie are making an aerial sur vey by helicopter this week to map concentrated areas of infesta tion. This will be followed by a ground survey to determine insect population levels and infested tim ber volume. "Bark beetles, which annually destroy more timber than a wild fire, usually increase in num ber during dry years and subside during wet years. The long suc cession period of dry years in Modoc County has so weakened the trees, that last year, wet as it was, had little controlling in fluence on the bark beetle popula tion," Cooperrider said. Deter Takes Sprayer Post FHA Picks J. Urbach John W. Urbach. Dairy, has been appointed as a member of the three-man Klamath County Farmers Home Administration Committee, the agency's county supervisor, Bruce Stewart, an nounced recently. The appoint ment is for three years and be gan on July 1. Urbach has spent his lifetime farming and is currently the owner and operator of a 240- acre diversified farm near Dai ry. County Supervisor Stewart says that Urbach's practical farm ing experience will enable him to make a real contribution to the county committee's actions when they review loan applications. Urbach succeeds Milburn G Burk of Bonanza, whose three- year term expired this year. The other two members serving with Urbach are William S. Tu bach of Poe Valley and Merle Looslcy of Malin. The local Farmers Home Ad ministration County Committee re views applications by farmers and other rural families for six dif ferent types of agricultural, hous ing and water loans made in Klamath County. All loan appli-j cations must originate in the county Farmers Home Adminis tration office and are acted upon by the county committee as a group upon the request of the county supervisor, according to Stewart. In addition, the com mittee advises with the county supervisor regarding the adapt ing of national loan policies to local conditions. During the past fiscal year ending June 30. a total of $671, 1B0 in Farmers Home Administra tion loans were made through the agency's local county office to Klamath and Lake County farm ers. Each loan is accompanied to the extent necessary by tech nical farm and financial manage ment assistance. $ if x ' ' ' k J l ' ' iw- i V tlMWI .

Among those urging second thoughts are a number of farm slate Democrats, including Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., as sistant Senate majority leader. Humphrey is drafting a new wheat bill and predicted in an interview before leaving for Mos cow to witness signing of the nu clear best ban that "there'll be some rethinking on (his question in (he administration within a month."

Leaf-mil, a virus disease, is spread by several species of aphid. It survives the winter in cull piles, volunteer plants and seed potatoes. Plants frown from diseased tubers show the chronic leaf roll symptoms when the plants are eight 12 inches high. Plants mfecled during lhe growing season show current leaf roll symptoms only on the upper loaves. Milk Label Law Listed SALEM I UP1 1 Beginning Sept 2 all public ealing places and vending machines in the state will have to label any imitation milk products they serve. The labeling requirement comesi as a result of action by the 1903 ll legislature. The State Department of Agri culture said today that menus in places where imitation milk is served must slate that fact. Also under the new law, the words milk, butter, cream, cream- cry, cnurn, cneese, cow or dairy can't be used as a part of the trade name nor in the description of products intended to be used as a substitute for dairy or mUk products. I A number of legislators of both parties have introduced various bills aimed at softening the oricc decline despite the expressed be lief of administration farm spokesmen (hat Congress will not act. Opposed Administration Plan Wheat growers voted May 21 against tile administration plan for mandatory production con trols with high price supports for the 1964 crop. This means that, with no new program, wheat price supports will drop from $2 a bushel this year to $1.25 next year. Even the reduced support price will be available only to growers who voluntarily comply with planting restrictions. A number of Republicans, head ed by Reps. Albeit H. Quie. Minn., Robert Dole, Kan. and Lion b. snort, N.u., have pro posed a program modeled on the existing plan which offers acreage-diversion payments and price supports to farmers who cut feed grain plantings. Sens. Spessard L. Holland, D Fla.; George D. Aiken, R-Vt.. and others have sponsored lhe Amer ican firm Bureau Federations plan to abolish all wheat-feed grain controls, set supports at comparatively low levels and set up a voluntary program of pay ments for non-use of acreage. Proposes Voluntary Program Sen. George D. McGovern, D- S.D., recently proposed convert ing the acreage-limitation plan rejected last May 21 to a volun tary program with no cash mar keting penalties for farmers who choose to ignore it. Humphrey's bill would be based in general on the existing program and would offer price supports above the currently scheduled 14 level to farmers who voluntarily convert wheat acreage to other uses. The Minnesota Democrat be lieves legislation to head off the drop in prices is urgently needed before the 1964 crop of winter wheat is planted this fall. He said a sharp drop in wheat income could damage the farm credit structure and Democratic elec tion prospects in farm states. First iron ore shipments from Minnesota's gigantic deposits was made in 1884. ATTENTION FARMERS!
