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.

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

WASHINGTON' (UPH-Prcssure
is building up on the administra
tion to ease next year's drop in
wheal prices despite President
Kennedy's attitude that the (arm
ors asked for it when they voted
down his price support program
in a referendum.
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

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.
