state. About 200 persons usually
atlend. This year's program will

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-

James K. Holloway, of the en

Conference participants will
also hear reports on national
weed problems and what is be

herbicides and their uses.

lion bushels. The total domestic
and export demand will amount
to one billion, 600 million bush
els. 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. "TARP"

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.

Potato Subsidy Proposition
Offered By Ag Department
WASHINGTON UiPD- Agri
culture Secretary Orville L.
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,
