More than 4, 1 MO Oregon farm
lain Hies have been enabled to in
crease i heir net worth, over ami
a hove ult da lies by 508 per
family through the Farm Se
curity administration's program of
supervised credit, announce Wal
ter A. Muffy. regional director.
"One of the primary aims of the
FSA program Ih to enable borrow
ers to produce practically all their
food supplies as well as livestock
feed on the farm so that cash ex
penditures for such items will be
reduced to the minimum," Duffy I
said. "I'rogiess of these farm'
families Ih indicated by the fact 1
I hat they increased supplies of
Hints it ltd vegetables canned by
l!iS, milk produced for home con
sumption by :iui gallons, meat for
home use by 21) pounds, and eggs
produced for home use by SO doz
ens, per family. This means a con
tribution lo the iinnual cash income
of the farm of from $2t)0 to $300
per family.
Repayments Good.
These families have already re
paid $1,1 "(4,000 of the $4.f9,Kf)il
loaned by the Farm Security ad
ministration, although most of the
loans are made for a five-year pe
riod. Full repayment of loans has
been made by f14 families and !II.S
per cent of maturities due have
been met.
While many of these farmers are
owner-operators, almost Ken of them
have been enabled to obtain writ
leu instead of oral leases and al
most linn have advanced from
sharecropper to tenant status dur
ing the pasl crop year.
Another measure ot progress of
these families, huffy said. Is that
nearly ino children of school age
iiv these borrowing families have
been enabled to attend school as
a direct result of the FSA program.
Debt adjustments have lieen ef
fected ror MiT tamilies faced with
foreclosure action resulting in re-
luetfon of a total indebtedness of
l2.IH.r..750 to $2.052,7011. As a re
al t of debt adjustments these
farmers have been able to pay

July 10. The chief difference be
tween so-called third structure gas
oline and the regular, or premium,
fuels is in volatility und anti knock
property, rather than in any differ
ence in purity or ability lo deliver
more miles per gallon, according to
engineers at Oregon Stale college,
who held a radio round table dis
cussion on this subject recently.
"Many people think that third
structure gasoline Is inferior from
the stand -point of containing Im
purities, but this is not the case."
said (Jeoige Cieeson, head of the
chemical engineering department,
"hi fact, quite the reverse is true.
It contains less sulphur and guin
formlng material than the regular
grades, and is about on a par in this
respect with the premium gaso
lines." What grade of gasoline will be
most economical or more satisfac
tory will depend on the kind of mo
tor and Ihe kind of weather, it was
brought out. Most engines will not
start as easily on third structure,
arid neither will they warm up so
quickly. Then, of course this
grade has definitely less anti-knock
properties, making It less suitable
for modern high comnrcKaion motors.

WHIPS STILL GOOD
WASHINGTON. July 10. (AP)
The buggy whip business Is still
good, thank you.
The census bureau disclosed to
day that, in spite of horseless car
riages and lion horses, itales of
whips amounted to about $500,000
last year. At prices ranging from
10 cents up, this means several
million whips.
Farming and racing people still
buy a lot of tbem, It developed, but
the carnival hawker has saved the
day, accounting for at least a half
million top whip sales.
