Also receiving special attcn. tion this year will be control of weeds in range areas and in ir rigation districts. The meeting is open to growers, chemical ap plicators and industry represent atives, stressed 0. K. Petersen, Junction City, conference presi dent. Each year the conference is held in a different section of the state. About 200 persons usually atlend. This year's program will hold special interest to produc ers in the Klamath Basin and adjoining areas in Northern Cal ifornia, Warren believes. Two talks on chemicals and weed control are scheduled. Dr. C. L. Foy of the University of Federal Wheat Sales Reflect Improved Price WASHINGTON (UPIt - The Agriculture Department said to day it liad begun to move its surplus wheat stocks into the open market. Between July 1 and mid-October, the department sold about 35 million bushels of wheat out of the government-owned sur plus, in the same period last year practically no government w heat was sold. Sales are being made now be cause rising demand has pushed the open market price of wheat up sharply in recent weeks. For some classes of Wheat, prices have risen to or above the level at which government surplus grain Is available for sale. Under present regulations, tlie surplus wheat can be sold only when market prices reach 105 per cent of the price sup port rate or higher. Market prices have been pushed up to that level because the 1963 crop was smaller than potential de mand during the current mar keting season. Agriculture Department ex perts now believe that if the Soviet Union and Communist satellite countries buy up to 200 million bushels of American wheat, total American exports this season will reach one bil- Ford Trucks Last Longer en th FARM See your Farm Truck Hoadquarttri BALSIGER MOTOR CO.

If this forecast is accurate, total demand for American wheat will be about 465 million bushels greater than the 1963 crop. This means automatically, that 405 million bushels would have to be sold out of the gov ernment surplus in older to meet all demands. Sales at that level would leave the surplus next summer at about 725 mil lion bushels, the lowest since 1953. The Agriculture Department also predicted today that the season average wheat price to farmers this year will average moderately above the support price of $1.82 a bushel. Last year the market price average was exactly the same as the support $2 a bushel. Agriculture Department econ omists say the record 1963 soy bean crop apparently won't strain the capacity of the soy bean processing industry. Soybean crushing in the year which ended Sept. 30 reached a record of 475 million bushels. In the current marketing sea son, crushings are expected to go up to another new high of about 490 million bushels. The Agriculture Department estimates, however, that soy bean processors have more than enough capacity to handle the increase. Total capacity in the industry last season was estimated at not more than 575 million bush els. In other words, the indus try was operating last season at about SO per cent of capac ity.

Sterilized Milk Hearing Slated Hearings will be held by the Oregon Department of Agricul ture Oct. 31 to consider a pro posed standard of identity f o r sterilized milk and an approved list of edible stabilizers for use in dairy products. The hearings will be in the Agriculture Building, Salem, at 1:30 p.m. Sterilized milk was included in Oregon's list of manufactured dairy products by the 1963 leg islature. The proposed standard of identity would establish steril ized milk as milk containing no viable micro-organisms and with a butterfat content of not less than 3.5 per cent and a minimum content of solids not fat of 8.5 per cent. Use of edi ble stabilizers would be optional but they would have to be named on the label. Written testimony and evi dence will be accepted by the department until dale of the hearing.

Freeman Friday announced plans to holster potato prices by ottering the growers a subsidy for diverting part of their 11KV) crop away from normal con sumer markets. The diversion program, de signed to raise prices by re stricting supplies in the regular market, has been used in every marketing season since 1!53 ex cept for 195'J. Diversion payments are made to farmers who send table-grade potatoes excluding culls into starch and flour factories or for use as livestock feed. Freeman said the payments, as usual would be offered only in slates or areas where the po tato industry develops a plan for keeping all but top-grade spuds off consumer markets. Lower quality potatoes must be withheld from the "fresh" market in order to qualify an area for the payments. Payments for potatoes divert ed to starch, flour and live stock feed will be made only on polatoes of U.S. No. 2 or better quality with a minimum di ameter of two inches for round varieties. For long varieties, payments will be made only on potatoes with a minimum di ameter of two inches or a min imum weight of four ounces. Payments will be 50 cents per hundredweight diverted through Dec. 31. 40 cents from next Jan. 1 to Feb. 20, 14, and 30 cents from March 1, 1004, until the program is terminated. Payments under the program totaled $1.4 million last year and $10 million in 1I, States in which the program has operated in recent years in clude Maine, California, Colo rado, Oregon, lihodo Island, Utah, Washington, North Da- I!
