sions which based eligibility and
quota regulation! on production
ef 200 bushels.
CA Purpose
41 Quotas are intended to regu.
late the amount of wheat that
may be sold. If approved by two-
thirds of the eligible voters vot
ing quotas will regulate wheat
sale by Imposing a penalty on
, wheat produced in excess of acre-.-
age allotments or In excess of
r IS acres In cases where lack of
wheat history does not permit
setting of allotments. The pen-.--
alty is now definitely set at half
of the basic loan rale. Recent
. legislation has provided that the
loan rate is to be 85 per cent
ef parity price at the beginning
f the marketing year. Since the
wheat marketing year begins In
July, parity Isn't determined but
. la tentatively being figured at
$1.14 per bushel at Portland.
Loan rate at Portland then, will
, be approximately 07 cents. oLan
rate at Klamath Falls will be
approximately (0 cents per
a. ousnei. renaity on excess wheat
will be approximately 40 cents
per bushel.
If (rowers approve quotas, the
man WhO Dlants Over him mUn.
ment, or over IS acres In cases
wnere nis wneai production his
tory does not permit setting up
an acreage allotment for his
farm, will be able to sell nr fiwl
; or obtain the full 80 cents per
bushel loan on wheat produced
on ine auoiiea acreags or the IS
teres. Ha mav not aH m ia
' the excess wheat produced until
. ine en centa per bushel penalty
; Is paid, but he may get a loan
on the excess wheat at a lower
rate. The loan rale on penalty
; wheat is 60 per cent of the loan
rate on non-penalty wheat. Klam
; ath farmers could, therefore, ob.
tain a loan of 48 cents per bushel
on penalty wheat.
1" That, In brief, is what farmers
win De voting for or against on
Saturday. May 31st. If the nlun
Is approved, Klamath farmers
can expect 80 cents a bushel or
81.33 per cwt. for wheat Wheat
. prices must approach that since
growers will ask for loans If

prices do not come up to the

Now, what will happen If
growers reject quoits? Only one
thing ran be definitely tald. and
that la "No loans can be
made." Rut many who are vital
ly Interested in wheat are look
ing forward to see what that
might mean.
Until recently, when anticipa
tion of higher loans and voting
quotas strengthened the wheat
market, wheat wat around 60
cents at Portland. It It tald that
wheat was 60 cents because loans
now In cited supported that
price. World price was some
where between 30 rents and 40
ccntt. A better world price can
hardly be expected. Present ex
pectations of 1041 United States
wheat exports are 20 million
bushels. That is quite a drop
from the 200 million bushel an
nual average for the period 1B20
to 1920. The demand isn't there
and we can expect to sell very
little of what demand there is
since 1.100 million bushels it on
statistical record as available for
world export.
In the United States the 1941
supply made up of 383 million
bushels carry over on July 1,
and an expected 1941 production
of 81.1 million bushels adds up
to 1,200 million bushels. Esti
mated disappearance for food,
seed, feed, waste and 30 million
bushels export figures at 630
million bu.ihels. That means S20
million bushels to carry over to
1942.
In these timet a carryover Is
Juit all right. Defense prepara
tions might well include a large
wheat'rescrve. But It is thought
wise to handle that reserve in
such a way that it will not result
in disastrous prices.
Wheat is only one agricultural
commodity but is more widely
grown than any other. Without
question wheat tupplies are out
of line with demand for wheat.
Perhaps, wheat growers should
be squeezed out of business. Low
prices will crimp them Just as
much as low wages crimp the
buying power and living stan
dards of labor.
There are those who oppose
Interference with the free play
of the forces of supply and de
mand, yet there are few com
modities in which those forces
act freely today. Wheat growers
are, of course, trying to effect
price support. To effect such
support they know supplies avail
able for market must be cut
down. The nation, however, does
not want a scarcity program.
Acreage allotments are set each
year with the thought that there
must be an adequate but not
burdensome surplus. But acre
age allotments have not given
control. Many over plant them.
Except for direct AAA payments,
non-cooperators obtain as much
benefit as those who reduce acre-
age. The whole thing adds up
to an ineffective program. For
this reason it is felt that quotas
are necessary.
Not Scarcity Measures
Allotments and quotas are the
mechanism for reducing burden
some supplies. They are not scar
city measures. They are the
means for keeping the great num
ber of wheat farmers from plant
ing more wheat than it is evident
.should be planted. The two meas
ures, however, do not assure
parity price. To obtain parity
price for wheat, loans are pro
vided. Parity price simply means
a price for today's wheat that
will give today as much buying
power as wheat gave during the
period prior to the last war.
Loans, however, will not be made
If growers refuse to realize that

cuta In production are the basic
answer.
In analyzing all this we can say
that all these measures will set
up commercial wheat growing as
a closed union. That fact cannot
be side-stepped, because allot
ments are based on wheat pro
duction in past years. This state-
ment applies only to commercial
wheat production since those
who produce IS acres or less arc
exempt from quota penalties.
The closed union is also modified
in that each year 3 per cent of
each county's allotment must be
reserved for new growers.
This discussio nis an attempt
to present as clearly as possible
the provisions of wheat market
ing quotas and the facts which
have resulted in presentation of
the issue. If two-tlurds of the eli
gible growers voting approve
quotas they will be in effect.
Under the provisions of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
the secretary of agriculture was
bound to declare quotas this year
since supplies are over 35 per
cent more than can be used and
exported. Quotas will not be in
effect, however, if more than
oe-third of growers voting don't
want them. The voting will be
done all over the United States.
Saturday is the time to express
opinion by use of a voting right,
the value of which we are again
beginning to appreciate.

PRICES RISE
DESPITE BIG
CROP
A sharp rise in farm prices
from mld-Marem to mid-May,
despite better than average crop
production prospects, Is the out
standing fact of the current agri
cultural situation as reviewed
by the agricultural extension
service at OSC in the current
report Just released.
The advance in the general
level of prices for farm products
is estimated to have been around
10 per cent for the two-month
period. The rise is attributed
principally to stronger demand
from domestic consumers and
government activities under the
defense program.
Compared with a year ago,
meat animals and truck crops
show the greatest gains in price.
followed by poultry products
and dairy products. Prices for
these commodities usually re
spond rather definitely to
changes In the purchasing
power of consumers. Although
milk production on May 1 was
6 per cent greater than a year
previous, farm prices for dairy
products were fully 10 per cent
higher due to strong demand
with mounting payrolls.
From the standpoint of pro
duction, an increase in output
ox most arm products appears
probable. Crop conditions are
generally better than average at
this season of the year and In
terest in expanding production
of certain items needed for bet
ter diets is being stimulated by
government measures.
Production prospects in the
country as a whole are better
than average. Indications are
favorable for an abundance of
hay. On May 1 pastures were the
best for the date since 1929.
Poultry flocks are being In
creased substantially, and cattle,
hogs and sheep are being In
creased somewhat.
Wheat and rye prospects are
very favorable. The May 1 esti
mate of winter wheat produc
tion was 8S3.000.000 bushels
compared with 590,000,000 in
1940. Prospects are also favor
able for spring wheat yields.
though It is too early to make
definite estimates. Carryover
stocks of wheat are also sure to
be abnormally high.
In view of this condition the
national wheat acreage allot
ment for 1942 has been set at
55.000.000 acres, with Oregon's
share being 756,281 acres. This
national allotment is the mini
mum allowable under the agri
cultural adjustment act.

Cattlemen Urged Against
Expansion at Ontario Meet
War profits ara misleading
and falsa and for that reason
livestock men should be very
careful about expansion now.
That was the burden of several
of the many addresses presented
at the 28th annual convention of
the Oregon Cattle and Horse
Raisers' association at Ontario
recently.
For instance. Dr. Orlo Maugh
an, Spokane economist, said that
the peak of the price of cattle,
on basis of purchasing power,
was reached January 1, this year,
or will be reached January 1.
1942. Studies have shown price
peaks about every 15 years. A
four-point program suggested to
keep livestock producers on an
even keel: 1. Do not expand;
2. Get out of debt; 3. Use credit
only for production purposes; 4.
Put part of the surplus into gov
ernment bonds.
Highlights in a series of reso
lutions: Opposition to free ad
mission of dressed meats from
foreign countries; opposition to
consolidation of forest service
