Washington poultry, dairy,
and livestock producers were ad.
vised today that it will be good
business to buy and store feed
grain supplies at harvest time.
Karl Hobson, Washington State
college farm price expert, urged
growers to start fixing up farm
grain storage space right away.
He said that growers may save
themselves some money and
also help to get the Northwest's
grain crop under cover by be-
ing ready to buy grain at har-
vest.
The agricultural extension ex.
pert explained that in most
years grain is cheapest and
easiest to find at harvest time.
That's especially true if it's
bought right out of the field. He
believes there is a possibility
that the difference in price may
not be very large this year be-
cause of the shorter grain crop
and the government storage pro-
gram. On the other hand, recent

enough to be effective even
though prices of most other
things should continue to fall. In
the Northwest price changes in
other grains usually follow
wheat pretty closely.
Grain prices at or near the
loan at harvest time would be
a good buy. Loan rates on 1949
wheat, Hobson explained, will
probably be about $1.87 per
bushel in the eastern edge Of the
state this year. In the central
part of the state the rates will be
five or six cents higher. In the
main barley and oat producing
areas, loan rates will be around
SAT per ton on barley and about
SAL for oats.
SULFA POISON WARNING
The treatment Is sometimes as
bad as the disease If the medi-
cine isn't properly handled.
That situation is especially
true when sulfa drugs are used.
We have just received report
of several cases of sulfa poison
ing of poultry in recent weeks
from DR.. Wilson Henderson, di.
agnostic veterinarian, Western
washington experiment station,
Puyallup.
DR.. Henderson advises Wash.
ington poultrymen that they
should feed the sulfa drugs &C.
cording to the directions Of the
manufacturer on the label or
tag.
Its very important" DR.. Hen
derson cautions, ''that you do not
ver-feed the drug or use too
high q dosage. This is one case
in which the old saying If a
little is good more is better will
not work. It will damage rather
than help. It is also important
that the drug be fed ONLY IL re.
commended by your poultry vet
erinarian. Another important
item is not to feed the drugs too
long"
DR.. Henderson also emphasizes
the importance of being sure
that the right level Of drugsefo for
the particular poultry problem is
used.

Kenn.wick's first car Of new
potatoes was shipped Thursday
fror the Pasco Growers plant.
It wa. headed for Medicine Hat,
Alberta.
There will be scattered ship.
ments Of potatoes during the
next week, according to Byron
Baker, manager, but beginning
about July Is, he expected the
shipments to JUMP to about 100
or $50 car loads OF potatoes from
their Kennewick plant.
A large new potato grader has
just been received which Is be.
ing insta led and will facilitate
the work Of sorting and packing.
Shipments will probably be at
the rate Of i've or six cars per
day and will go to the middle

Most OF tho potatoes to be
shipped will come from the new
sc 5O-acre irrigated tract on the
Pasco side Of the river. Due to
coming from virgin ground they
are exr tied to be Of excellent

fruits. He also explains price
prospects for the crops.
Benton county farmers who

far from the results obtained
last year, it was said.
Cold weather last winter,
which has been given as the
cause of a great many backselS
this wear, was brought forward
again when the prune crop was
being discussed. The hard WIN.
ter was simply too much and a
good prune crop therefore is not
possible, one grower said.
Shipping of apricots had been
finished as far as fresh fruit was
concerned, but Campbelrs Gus
tom cannery went ahead on this
and other fruits and vegetables.
Most of the canning in this plant
is by special order for growers
here and others who 60 out and
buy up quantities to be canned.
The last of the cherry crop
brought better returns than the
early shipments. The labor sup
ply is adequate, packing houses
and growers reported. In fact,
some packers said it was too
good since they disliked to be
forced to turn away people who
wanted jobs.
For canning, Campbell's re-
ported orders for beets, green's
of several varieties, apricots,
transparent apples, beans, cher
ries and chicken. Earlier in the
season a large amount OF as
paraguS was canned.

Combines started humming in

combines started nummlng IN
the Horse Heaven hills this
week, and wheat yields were
about what had been forecast
a few weeks ago by Kennewick
growers.
Ten bushels per acre was the
general run, but some fields
were doing better than that. Ac-
ross the river, in the Pasco pum-
ping station project, yields up to
IS bushels per acre were re.
ported, with the average in the
low 20's.
Mrs. Guy Travis reported Don
Haworth began threshing Tues
day on land that had just been
broken up. Others operating in
the Horse Heaven were Steve
Smith, Kenneth Burkhart, Tom
Speck, Paul Hamilton and the
Bateman brothers.
Farmers were assured of $500
per bushel for wheat under the
government parity price pro-
gram.
In connection with the market,
c. F. Webster, county agent, said
marketing quotas may be In
prospect for wheat farmers in
Washington and the rest OF the
nation next year.
Webster said this possibility
was pointed out by Karl Hobson,
WSC's extension price expert, in
the current issue Of Keeping
UP on the Farm Outlook" mon.
thly economic publication issued
by the Washington agricultural
extension service.
In explaining the likelihood
of quotas for the 1850 crop In
the publication, Hobson has this
to say: $.
"Unless wheat farmers vote it
down, wheat harvest in 1850
probably will be subject to mar
ket quotas. That's because it
now looks like the wheat supply
this year-production plus carry
over-will exceed the market
ing quota level Of 1856, 600, 900
bushels. Only big drop in the
July estimate Of the wheat crop
would change this.
Marketing quotas just about
force q wheat farmer to stay
within his allotted acreage. Sup
pose a farmer has wheat allot-
ment Of 200 acres but plants
$50 acres. Here's what he is up
against: :.
"He cannot get a government
loan on any of his wheat.
"He can sell his wheat from
the 200 acres allotted at market
price without penalty.
"He must handle wheat from
the extra so acres as follows:

sWheat farmers can vote down
marketing quotas if they want
to. II they do, the loan rate
drops to so percent of parity,
or around one dollar per bushel
in 1850.
these are the provisions of
the agricultural act of 1913,
which is now the law Of the
land. Under it, wheat is the
only washington product subject
to market quotas. But recent
proposals, If enacted, would
make market quotas available
for use on many other farm pro.
ducts, including meat animals,

Leave
Keys In Car

Police Jacob Jessup yesterday
to- the Courier Reporter that if
people quit leaving their keys in
their cars when they leave them
on the streets, car thefts will de-
crease considerably.
Jessup said most thefts of
cars are where the keys are left.
A, hough some c,.rs are stolen
where keys are not left, it takes
more time for thief to get away
as he has to improvise a con-
tact of wires, Jessup said.
During the past week, the
police have been called upon for
a multitude of duties, and there
have been some thefts from
houses and other buildings.
Reports showed that three cases
of beer were stolen from a deliv-
cry truck. A car which had been
stolen was found. Police investi-
gated a report by a woman who
said She was being followed by
a man. The man was found and
was warned. The Roxy theater
reported a side door was opened
after a show had closed and an
odor indicat l that somebody
