Wheat
CONTINUED From First Page

Argentina and Russia might not up
set matters by cutting their prices
in international trading.
On the credit side. Mr.. Hope said
the agreement should prevent i'm
porting countries from rushing
into wheat production when their
land should be devoted to other
commodities. -rz
Chairman Capper of the Ser1ate
Agriculture Committee said there
is encouragement in the increase in
the number Of nations entering into
the agreement" He added, however
that he wanted more time ito look
into its raniflcations."
Spokesmen for two major farm
organizations-the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the National
Grange-joined in indorsing the
principle of the pact. Executive
committees of both groups, after
studying the agreement, are ex-
pected to take some action on II
within a few weeks.
One agricultural expert, mean
while, raised what might turn out
to be the knottiest problem of all
how the United States will be able
to pledge to sell 185, 600, 900 bushels
of wheat a year at not more than
20 a bushel when the current mar
ket price is about As cents above
this.
A possible solution to this problem
rs a Government subsidy. But this
probably would require more lesls-
lation and funds from Congress.
In addition, at the present high
rate Of United States exports, the
price ceiling would cover less than
half OF this country's annual ship
ments. The United States expects
to ship 450O00 900 bushels of wheat
for the crop year ending June 80.
This wheat is bought at the market
prices.
Under the agreement, Canada s
annual share of exports is 23o 900, ,OOO
bushels, and Australia's is $4,000, ,O00
bushels. In addition to So ceiling
for all five years, countries agree on
o minimum price of $3.50 a bushel
for the first year and 10 cents less
for each succeeding year.
Thirty three importing countries
guarantee to buy stated quantities
from t. three exporting nations at
prices lower than the minimum.
The e.. .rting countries at the same
time pledge to sell 10000, 900 bushels
a year at prices no higher than the
maximum
Leslie A. Wheeler. chairman of the
council. termed the pact IAN import
ant milestone on the road to world
peace" Mr.. Dodd said it was fair
both to farmers, who want assuran-
ces of a stable market for their
wheat, and to those who need "a
sure supply of daily bread Similar
sentiments were expressed by num-
erous other delegates who held their
final session in the State Department
conference room.
Other nations signing yesterday
were Canada. China, Colombia,
Egypt, Greece, India. Ireland, Leb-
anon, Liberia, The Netherlands, Nor
way. Peru, Portugal and the United

Radio Contest Winnings
Ruled Subject to Tax
BY the Associoted Pres

br fhe AsSocioIed FFesS
The Internal Revenue Bureau
said yesterday that radio contest
winnings are considered earnings
subject to income tax at the usual
rates.
Those winnings, an official said
are added to any other income the
prize winner may have. If mer-
chandise is won, then the value of
the goods in cash makes up the
total to be added to income.
mo matter how trivial the prize
or how trivial the contestants part
may be in determining the winner,
the cash or value of the goods is
considered earned and part of your
income" the official said. He ad-
ded that even If the winners name
is simply drawn out of hat, there
would be some effort involved in
getting the name in the hat in the
first place. That makes 1t earned
income.

With the current outlook to-
wards an unfavorable potato al
lotment acreage for Benton Coun-
ty in 1949, our thoughts are turn
ed to possible crops to produce
in the place OF potatoes. There is
a wonderful opportunity on new
land to produce legumes ana
grasses for seed production. Mf.
La Mar Chapman, State College
agronomist, who just returned
from the U. S. Cros Improvement
association convention has been
awarded 10 pounds Of Ladino Go
yer seed out of a quota OF lOO
pounds for the nation. This Is a
new strain of Ladino and is not
mixed with White Dutch as. So
many of our commercial strains
are. It has been selected for d.
sease resistance and high pro-
duction.
Often we can form an unbiased
opinion of our own natural re-
sources by listening to the advice
of others on a national scope. The
state Of Washington has been picked
on this national basis as one OF
the most favorable locations for
planting this very valuable and
scarce crop. In the course of the
last Is years the state of Oregon
has developed a grass and le-
gume seed industry from .prac-
tically zero to a 10 million dollar
industry. In the field of Ladino
Glover alone, U. S. production
last year was 600 thousands
pounds. The price range is be-
tween $2.35 to $500 a pound, and
with this being recommended in
pasture mixtures from Florida to
the central states and clear into
the western states, the demand
for this crop seems to. have a
bright outlook for a number Of
years ahead.
There are many other legume
crops which on new land which
legume plants and such diseases
as effect these plants, have de-
cided advantage. In the grass seed
field there are some recommended
tons, as drilling in rows and cul-
tivating, also using commercial
fertilizers, that should be follow
ed If the field is to produce seed
year after year without reseeding.
Potatoes have been looked up
on by the newer settlers as a
crop that is fitted to pew lands,
but with this same viewpoint in
mind, people are looking for new
lands and isolated spots for grass
seed production. Other grasses as

melts and the insulation becomes

Sill Is Not Too
Late ToI nsulaie

More Benton county farmers
are becoming more insulation con-
scious than ever before, County
Extension Agent Frank Webster
noted this week, and said even
winter-time is not too late to put
some wraps on the house"
He points out that attics ar.
the easiest to insulate. They're
the area where approximately 40
per cent of the heat is lost land
where half or more loss can
easily be prevented. Three OF
four inches Of loose-type insula-
ton can easily be poured into the
attics. The air space between the
ceiling and the roof serves a use
full purpose by preventing con.
densation. Flat roofs are not i'm.

Methods Reduce
Apple Spoilaqe

Recent research in the apple
industry has helped answer ques-
tons arising this year among ship
pers about Ways to overcome the
problem Of decay, which was
found severe last year, Frank
Webster, Benton County Extern
sion agent, reports.
In summary, these findings are
reduced to about two basic prir,
ciples: eliminate bruising, and pre-
vent contamination.
Research has repeatedly foun1
decay most frequently starts where
the skin of the apple has been
broken, and the point where most
contamination occurs has been
found to be in the washing soln
don.
Studies made last year by Ed
win Smith ana T. r. Wright of the
Bureau of Plant Industry found
that in four packing houses in
this state cleaning, packing and
lidding operations caused an av-
erage Of 69 severe bruises per 100
apples.
Webster has received from JOB,
c. Snyder, extension horticulturist
at Washington State college, a list
OF suggestions to reduce decay:
l. Do not dump decaying or
windfall apples into the same SOL
utlon used for sound fruit.
Grounders are not only apt to have
skin breaks, but also pick mold
spores up from the ground. These
spores can be gotten onto the ap-
pies merely by the rain spatter-
ing fruit standing in the orchard.
2. Pre-cool apples before wash
ing them. Decay is much less
likely to start while apples are at
low temperatures.

8. Change washing solutions
frequently. 1 Rinse the tank out
with a disinfestant while the
change is being made, If possible.
The solution should be changed
at least once every day.
4. Use copious quantities of
clean rinse water. Do not re-
circulate the rinse water if pr1c-
teal. Clean water washes spores
away.
S. Sodium silicate solutions are
q little less likely to be followed
by decay than are acid solutions.
6. Do not let fruit stand in or
chards. Ripe apples decay easily.
Z. Be careful with apples caught
in the rain; rain spreads decay.
makes it grow faster.
3. Avoid bruising fruit. Every
bruise and slight skin break ma.
terally increases the likelihood OF
decay.

|Spuds Help Hold
eed Costs Down

The currently cheap source OF
dairy feed in the form of potatoes.
should not be overlooked by dairy
farmers, suggests Frank Webster,
County Extension agent.
potatoes can be used to re-
place some of the expensive feed
now being used" he said. For
example, four to five pounds OF
potatoes will replace one pound
of grain. .ss..... i
He added that it is not recon-
mended that all of the grain be
replaced with potatoes. Potatoes
will replace hay at the rate of
one pound for three pounds of
hay. They will replace silage
pound for pound. The value of
the potatoes will depend upon the
feed for which they substitute.
Webster said that Roger Nor
rison, assistant extension dairy
man at Washington State college,
reports that potatoes are best fed
fresh and raw, either whole or
roughly cut. Some difficulty is
often experienced in getting the
cows to start eating them. A few
pounds should be fed at time al
first, with the amount gradually
increased to full feed. Cows will
eat between 20 and 80 pounds
daily, with so. pounds per day
reported for large cows.
Morrison says that because po-
tatoes are very low in protein il
I it advisable to feed a legume
roughage or a high protein grain
ration with them. If potatoes are
| to be fed over a long period OF
time in large quantities, steamed
bone meal should be added tc
rrovide sufficient phosphorus
This is best included as two pei
cent of the grain mixtures.
Excellent. results have been re.
norted in feeding potato silage to
milk cows, and in order to solve
the storage and keeping problem
the potatoes should be made into
silage, he added. To insure keep
ing quality the silage should in
clude Is per cent dry hay. The
extreme weight of this type OF
silage makes it more suitable for
the trench or pit type silo rather
than the upright.
Potato silage should not be fed
just prior to milking, nor should
milk be allowed to come into con-
tact with the potato odor.
