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."

Potato Diversion Program
Most Used, Misunderstood
By JOHN S. WYNN. 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

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

he said, and 10 per cent more
of Bcllsville and otlicr light

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

after the first of the year,
Marks pointed out. The number
of pullets on farms and still to

Funds for the operation of a

products imported into the

by Congress for the relief of
individual commodities that are
in temporary distress due to
over-production. These funds,

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

in agriculture and the most
probable developments in the
future.
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
