Exporters File Claim SEATTLE (UPI)-An official of the Pacific Northwest Grain Export Association said today a protest had been lodged with the U.S. Department of Agricul ture over what he contended was discrimination against Pa cific Northwest whoat shippers. : W. II. Fisher, president of the association, said the charge was 'based on a notice, issued by the Commodity Credit Corp. In Portland, Ore., last Oct. 22. The .notice said that untH further no tice, hard red winter wheat sold by the OCC for export in Cali fornia will be priced two cenls per bushel below the CCC ex port price In the Pacific North west. Tlie notice said the differen tial "reflects tlie current differ ence in ocean freight between California and th Northwest tn North Asiatic couiilrle." : California and TacKlo North heat ports are in direct compc Utlon for hard red winter wheat f xnorts, most of which comes from the Midwest. ; "This action has far-reaching Implications as to historical val ues of grains at all U.S. Sea board points and could lead to eventual distortion of relative vahies between various constat airai," Fisher said in a tele gram tn (lie USIX. "In our viow this Is an outright subsidy of California ports, which by reason of location and relative inefficiency somclimei suffer freight penalties."

Manager, Tuleluke Growers Association TULELAKE One of the least understood as well as most used government program in this area is the Portato Diver sion Program. This program is designed to divert potatoes from the fresh markets into other channels. It Is intended that this program be used in years of over-production with the hope that enough marketable potatoes will be diverted from the fresh market to remove the surplus. The demand for the remaining potatoes should be strong enough to return the grower a better net profit than he would otherwise have received if he had sold his entire corp on the fresh market. Small payments of from 30 cents to 50 cents per hundred weight are paid to encourage growers to divert potatoes. In actual operation many farmers have come to look on diversion payments as a sort of subsidy to keep them from going broke too fast, rather than as an in ducement to withliold part of the crop from the market. . Many feel that the value of the program is limited to the amount of the payments. Unless the program actually leads to the diversion of potatoes that POTATO OOltaTTEE HANtGSUt JOINT DISPOSITION REPORT, 196) CROP SEASON WITH 162 CROP SEASON COMPARISONS CUKULATIVI riOURES THRU Hovaab.r 1. 1961 0OKPILED BI 0REO0N-CAUF0RNIA POTATO OOHOTTtt, P.O.

More Caftle, Less Hogs Seen For 7964 Forecast By CAYLORD P. GODWIN United Press International' WASHINGTON (UPI) The Agriculture Department pre dicts farmers will feed more beef cattle in 19H344, slightly fewer hogs, and about the same number of poultry, as in 1962-63. Tile volume of livestock fed is measured in terms of grain consuming animal units. For ex ample, a milk cow equals one animal grain-consuming unit. A beef cow represents 1.7 units. Cattle on feed represent two units each. A horse is one ani mal unit. Of the animals whose food capacity is small, it often takes many to comprise one unit. Eight sheep equal one No. Colo. tii Ptrtr. 2iipi Itel and heavy types as last ycaV, he said, and 10 per cent more of Bcllsville and otlicr light breeds. On the broiler scone, broiler marketings continue heavier than a year ago, due to the larger plucemenls during sum mer monlhs. However, they are not as large as earlier this fall and prices have somewhat Im proved, nil hough they are still slightly below levels of a year ago, tlie economist said. Ilntcltcry production of egg typo chicks continues larger than last year, which means there Mill he more pullets avail able for flock replacement right after the first of the year, Marks pointed out. The number of pullets on farms and still to come into production as of Oct. 1 was up one per cent from hist year, with increases report ed in all legions of tlie nation. I'l l'll.

Tuetday, November 12, 1963 Funds for the operation of a diversion program are collect ed as duties on agricultural products imported into the United States and are set aside by Congress for the relief of individual commodities that are in temporary distress due to over-production. These funds, referred to as Section 32 funds are prohibited by law from be ing used for any other purpose. unit. Similarly, 125 broilers equal one unit, 18 laying hens equal one unit, and 15 torn tur keys make up one unit. The department said the total number of grain-consuming ani mal units to be fed in 1963-61 is expected to be 174 million, an increase of about a million over 1962-63. The department said expan sion in cattle (ceding is expect ed to continue through most of VJi'&iA in spite of lower cattle prices during recent months. The agency said the number of cattle on feed for market in 28 states on Oct. 1 was 10 per cent higher than in that month last year.

The 1954 outlook issue of the poultry and egg situation re ports there will be more eggs, more broilers, and more tur keys next year than in 1963. Egg production next year is expected to exceed the 176 mil lion cases in prospect for 1963, the department said. Egg prices early in 1964 probably will be lower than a year earlier. Broiler production early in 1964 likely will be about the same as a year earlier, the de partment said, but output for the whole year likely will be above 1963. The 1964 turkey crop is ex pected to be somewhat larger than the 92.7 million birds ex pected this year, the agency said. In a projection report to 1968. the department said per capita use of eggs five years hence would be 5 to 10 per cent lower than the 316 eggs this year. The number of broilers for 1968 is expected to be almost 2.5 bil lion birds, up more than 15 per cent from 1963. Turkey output in 1958 is expected to increase about 20 per cent from this vear. v remember; when if comes to a truck, see Bob or Juck Trucks are their business! JUCKELAND MOTORS, Inc.
