Parity Payment
Status Explained
WASHINGTON. Jan. R. I AP)
Administration farm officials ex
plained today that. If congress
made no provision tor farm parity
payments in the agi'lcullure depart
ment appropriation bill, the ab
sence of such subsidiaries would
not show up In producer Incomes
until the summer and full of 1811.
In his budget message. Presl-di-nl
lioosevelt made no provision
for parity payments, saying he
was influenced by the hope that'
prices would advance to- a point;
where farm income would not be
lowered if the payments were not
voted. -.
Officials said thnt $225.0(10.000
'impropriated last year fort partly J
payiucuts would bo distributed dur
ing the coming summer and rail I
among producers or cotton, wheat.;
corn, rice and possibly some types i'
of tobacco. Only those fnrmers co-
operating with crop control pro-'
grams w ill be eligible. (
Parity payments get their nnme
from a farm price goal set up ln I
tne mix crop control acl. This leg
islation authorizes program de
signed to raise and maintain prices
Of major farm proiliicls at a level
which would give them purchasing

Jap Planes Blast
At China Railroad
"HOXGKONO, Jon. 8. (AP)
Japanese airmen blasted anew to
day at one of China's "lifelines"
the French-owned HnJphonR-Knm-ming
railway connecting French
Indn-Chlna and the sea.
The Japanese army said the first
customs station on the (Chinese
Hide of the border in the Menrae
area was raided, and one bridge
was hit directly and the railway
tracks were smashed.
Repeated air raids on the rail
way were regarded by observero as.
evidence the Japanese were con
solidating to hold the Nanning
area intact for use as a base for
aerial operations against China'H
vital war Supply routes. .
.' Meanwhile, UMneffc alh'iccH said'
several hundred Japanese troops
were attacked with machine guns,
and rirowued as they fled across a
river south of Vfngtak on the Canton-Hankow
railroad in a general
Chinese advance in northern
Kwaugtung province.
Contrasted with this, Japanese
military sources previously said
they halted a drive in . northern
Kv.angtung province about InO
miles north of Canton, killing 20,
000 Chinese soldiers and taking
3,000 prisoners.

"family" Is used advisedly ln this
Instance because testing there s
more or less of a fumlly project.
They first joined a dairy herd lm
proveinent assoelatibn fn 1917.
Joined again In 1922 and continued
until hnrd times after the 11129
crash induced them to stop a
serious mistake. It was decided
later.
In 1932 an argument with the
hired man as to whether the
length of u cow's tall was an indi
cation of her producing ability re
sulted in Installing some borrowed
testing equipment which was on
ernted by Miss Hilda Uhlninn. To
the astonishment of all, a heifer,
tentatively condemned to the
butcher, produced H58 p'otmds of
buttcrfal as a three-year-old. Since
then tlie edw has averaged 135
pounds a yeur.
During file three years when no
testing waB done the herd's pro
duction average was at a stand
still, while since that time it has
been consistently raised from 332
pounds In 1932 to 37B.5 pounds. The
I'lilnians stfll do their own testing
of their 30 cov herd, but with mod
ern electrical equipment. They
raise their own replacements from
high producing cows and good
sires. There is no further doubt in
that tamily but that measuring hut
tcrfat beats measuring tlie cow's
tall.

Oregon Had First
Rural Electricity
tellers It or not, lint the Hood
niver valley was the birthplace of
rural electrification in tho United
States, according to a report nindo
by Everett Davis, extension spe
cialist In agricultural engineering
at Oregon Slate college.
Davis found that the first strict
ly rural. electric distribution line In
the United States was built in 1900
und was two miles long, connecting
five Hood River valley farms. ;
Today Oregon is still a lender in
rural electrification w ith more than
53 per Cent of all farms in the
state electrified. Threo years ago
only 32 per cent of the farms wero
served by electricity. Latest fig
urges show upwards of 7000 miles
of rural line serving m6re than
33,000 rural customers in tills
state.
The Itural Electrification admin
istration has assisted substantially
in extending rural service within
the Inst year m so, says Davis.
Four projects are either under con
struction or have been recently
completed, to "servo about 1300
farmers. Kxlendlng lines in popu
lous farming districts is fairly
simple, but In sparsely settled re
gions like the eastern Oregon
wheat country, distribution lines
are so costly as .to be prohibitive
under present conditions in many
localities.
