Specialist Asks Restraint In Planning Seed Planting Oregon seed growers will need; to use restraint in planning fall plantings or surplus situations can be expected again, cautions Ray Teal, Oregon State University ex tension seed marketing specialist. Teal makes the statement in the new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook Circular after noting that Oregon seed prices have climbed this year as a result of good foreign and domestic demands and smaller crops both in Oregon and elsewhere. Copies of the circular are avail able from county extension offices O! the OSU Bulletin Clerk.

Ryegrass acreage in 1964 no larger than this year would aid in keeping prices near present levels, Teal believes. The 1963 rye grass crop is moving at higher prices than a year ago. The combined acreage of com mon and perennial ryegrass is smaller than in 1962 and yields are lower, particularly for peren nial. Use last season, both in do mestic and foreign markets, was large. Short seed crops in some countries and low ryegrass prices! encouraged use, Teal noted. Indications now are that exports of the ryegrasses may not be as large this season as lasl. he point ed out, and that domestic use will be smaller because of higher pric es. Oregon growers should consider maintaining or slightly increasing the present acreage of hairy vetch seed as a rotation crop, the spe-i cialist said. The nation's hairy vetch seed crop was 31 per cent larger this year than 1962 due to a large Texas crop. Oregon's crop was smaller. Common vetch prices may be expected to remain strong next year because of short supplies. he noted. Oregon's crop this year was the smallest since estimates were begun in 19.16. Some in crease in acreage may be justi- lied. Teal added. Current prices for crimson clo ver seed are above levels of re cent years as a result of smaller crops in Oregon and the southern states and a decline in carryover stocks. Oregon growers should maintain or increase present ao reage in keeping with acreage de cline in the south. Teal believes. If prices get too high, other leg ume cover crops will be used Prices for fine fescue seed now are much above recent years due primarily to the decline of inv ports from Canada, Denmark and The Netherlands. Low prices in recent years encouraged wheat on fescue land in Canada and blue grass seed in Europe. Low prices also encouraged greater use of fine fescue seed in lawn mixtures. Some increase in fine fescue acreage in Oregon is justified. Teal believes, and may be desirable to hold prices down to levels that will not encouragol foreign competition. Bentgrass seed prices are re flecting a good export market and a generally strong turf seed mar ket. Industry groups are working toward promoting Highland bent grass in suitable new areas and are making plans to maintain and jencourage export markets. The Northwest is continuing to become the major blucgrass seed producing area in the nation. Al though no official estimates are available, indications are that this year's Northwest crop is be tween 12 and 15 million pounds of seed, compared with two million pounds in the Midwest, Teal said. Menon bluegrass prices are ex pected to hold at present levels be cause of smaller supplies. Teal said. This year's crop was 16 per cent below last year and use con tinued to increase each year. Some additional plantings of blue grass, both common and improved varieties, is justified as Midwest acreage declines, he sa'd. Tall fescue prices are higher than in recent years as use has been maintained wh'le supplies have declined until this year. Teal reported. Yields this year are up 30 per cent above 19B2. However, carryover on July 1 was the low est since 1960, so supplies are not excessive. However, prices are not expected to rise under present conditions, he pointed but. While prices on alfalfa and red clover seed are not expected to reach last year's highs, prices are expected lo lemain at tractive in areas where high yields can be maintained, Teal said. Vitamin Proves Useful In Aiding Storage Life A vitamin famous for its life saving qualities is being recog nized for another more unusual trait its ability to extend storage life of foods. Research on Vitamin K-5 will be continued at Oregon State Uni versity this year with a $12,546 grant to Dr. H. Y. Yang, OSU food scientist. This is the fourth year that the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare has supported the project.

So far, OSU workers have found that Vitamin K-5 is several times more effective than most com mon preservatives in tests on vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry and dairy foods. A small amount added to some of these foods ex tended shelf life as much as two weeks at room temperature, and even longer when refrigerated or irradiated. This year, OSU workers will rate the vitamin's effectiveness in killing food spoilage organisms, its ability to increase storage life. and develop a method to deter mine how much residual K-3 might be left after it fulfills its role as a blocker to growth of food organisms. Exactly how Vitamin K-5 pre vents food spoilage is not com pletely known, says Dr. Yang OSU tests indicate that the vita min robs food spoilage organisms of certain key enzymes needed for survival. plot Fertilizers.

HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Tuesday, October , 1963 PAG&-T Short Horse Course Slated tpnioirvi Rwnmim mmmm Two of the nation's leading ex perts on horses will be instruc tors at Oregon's 8th annual Horse men's Short Course Nov. 16 and 17 at Oregon State University. They are Mrs. Fern Palmer Bitlnor, equitation teacher at Lin- denwood College in St. Charles, Mo., whoso specialty is judging and equitation classes: and Dr, J. D. Wheat, veterinarian at the University of California in Davis who will discuss feet, logs and unsoundness in horses. The short course is open to any one, 18 years of age or older, who is interested in horses. Registra tion fee is $10, announced A. W Oliver, OSU professor emeritus of animal science, who is in charge of the event. Advance registra tion is not necessary, but may be advisable, he said, because the course will be limited lo 120 stu dents. A film on different breeds of horses will lead off the short course. The public is invited to the film, which will be shown in OSU's Withycombe auditorium Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Also on the short course agenda will be a discussion of breeds, and a panel on various other aspects of horses. Mrs. Bittner and Dr. Wheat will be joined on the panel by members of the Oregon Horsemen's Association and the OSU staff, co-sponsors of the short course. 1 962 Farm Summary Shows Farmers Income Higher, Expenses Also Up For the first time since 1959, Oregon farmers in 1982 closed the year with higher incomes, re ports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon State University extension agricul tural economist. However, produc tion expenses, on an average, took nearly $8 out of every $10 fann ers received in cash. Cash receipts from farm mar ketings in 1962 increased six per cent over 1961 to reach $436 mil lion, the most Oregon farm oper ators have received since 1951, Mrs. Horrell said after reviewing U.S. Department of Agriculture re ports and other information. The farmer's cash intake was increased by 1962's higher govern ment payments of $15.1 million, nearly $5 million higher than 1061. Oregon farmers were also cred ited with $42.4 million in non-mon ey income for a total of $493.3 million. Production expenses for 1962 came to $363.3 million. They climbed five per cent over 1961, Mrs. Horrell poined out. Produc tion expenses are now at the high est point on record, having in creased 17 per cent since 1951. Current operating expenses In creased with higher outlays on al most all items except fertilizer and lime. A considerable part of Oregon's increase in cash farm receipts came from cattle and wheat, the state's two leading products. Cat tle and calf receipts are at a rec ord high, being up more than a tenth over 1961. Malheur County, Oregon's leading beef producer, showed an 11 per cent increase with only Tillamook County fail ing to show a gain. Wheat receipts zoomed 36 per rent last year, Mrs. Horrell said. Umatilla, number one w heat coun ty in the stale and eighth in the nation, upped its 1962 crop wheal receipts a good 50 per cent. Fruit and vegetables also showed an in crease, but feed crops, dairy and poultry products and miscel laneous livestock showed lesser amounts taken in from sales. On a per farm basis, net in come rose 10 per cent last year to $2,866. This average net in come per farm still lags behind the peaks of 1951 and 1952 by around 20 por cent, she said. Na tionally, income for each farm person last year averaged $1,436, with more than a third coming from off-farm sources. This com pares with a per capita income of $2,445 for the non-farm person. On the basis of cash farm sales, Oregon ranked 30lh and rated 29th among the 48 states in net income per farm. California was first in cash receipts from marketings, while Arizona held top spot on the basis of net income per farm.
