TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBUR OREGON MONDAY, JULY 1 4, '1 94 1 .' Wheat at Dollar Again Looms For Oregon Growers PENDLETON, Ore., July 14. (AP) The wheat farmer's dream a bumper crop at a dol lar fl bushel was beginning lo come true this week In the past ern Oregon grain belt. Harvesting of what gives every promise of being the best crop in history at the best prices since 1921 Is under way in such gran aries as Umatilla, Gilliam, Wheeler, Wasco, Union and Grant counties. Here and there the summer rains damaged - the fields and crickets gnawed away at the edges, but ' by and large the stands were thick and heavy headed. Umatilla county took five mil lion bushels from its wheat lands last year. Farmers say the coun ty harvest will reach six . this year despite retirement of a good deal of land for soil conservation. A lot of good land went to mus tard, canning peas and crested Wheat grass Instead of wheat, but it Is the lighter lands that are bountiful now. Many a farm er who counted 15 bushels a good take from any of his acres Is get ting 25. Acres that usually yield 35 or 40 bushels arc good for 50 and 55. Surrounding counties report like increases, some more and some less, but all well over av erage. At Pendleton trlple-A officers estimate that No. 1 bulk wheat will bring 90.6 cenls here at es tablished loan rates which is what the farmer expects when wheat Is at a dollar on eastern markets. There Is mucii .rejoicing among Oregon's wheat people but they figure it's about time some prosperity reached them. Many a farm wife Is mentally getting rid of her 1929 furniture In favor of some streamlined 1941 stuff, and warning her hus band that dollar wheat and a new wardrobe go hand-in-hand. The old man wants a new cur lind Intends to get It, the rearma ment program permitting. He also has his eye on a lot of new farm machinery. in other words 6y JOHN CLWOH Haw would you like lo take tmtural-color photographs of all the pliu-c.1 you visit on your vacation?

F. Nichols, chairman of the county AAA committee, ad vises wheat growers who will have access wheat under market ing quota provisions to store the excess wheat as the most desir able methods of handling It. Pointing nut that the purpose of marketing quotas Is to keep the surplus off the market, Mr. Nichols said that payment of pen alties and subsequent marketing of the excess wheat by the grow er would defeat the purpose of the quotas. Growers that store their excess wheat may obtain a loan on this wheat at GO per cent of the regu lar loHn rate, provided they ful fill one of four conditions, Mr. Nichols said. These conditions are given as follows: Deposd of an acceptable bond with the treasurer of the county committee lo secure payment of the penalty on the excess wheat. This bond must be in an amount equal to !tc a bushel for each bushel of excess wheat to be plac ed under loan. , Deposit with the treasurer or the county committee funds in payment of the penalty or to be held In escrow as the producer elects. Name the treasurer of the Unit ed Stales, In care of the county committee, as payee In the loan documents for the amount of the penalty, such amount to be used In payment of the penalty ot to be hold In escrow as the pro ducer elects. Deposit Willi (lie treasurer of the county committee additional warehouse receipts covering an additional amount of wheat equal to the marketing quota excess. These receipts will be held In es crow. Fulfillment of any one of these four conditions will allow the pro ducer lo receive the tin per cent loan on his marketing quota ex cess. Nichols said. However, he warned erowers that storage of I he excess under loan does not take It out of the producer's hands, but rather defers payment of the penalty and gives Ihe pro ducer a chance to bring Ills oper ations Into line with marketing quota provlsolns without an Im mediate cash outlay.

Dairymen under the state grade A regulation have nothing to fear when they submit bids In the defense milk purchases, for these regulations arc in many respects more strict than the standard ordinance of the U.

( AP) Alva O. Bltner, farmer, said he believed from 100,000 to 130,000 farmers In the United States "are waiting to Join a na tional protest organization" to fight the 48-cents-a-bushcl penalty for marketing wheat over the federal quota. Bitner, who farms 250 acres near Wendell Willkle's Rush county property, said he based his estimates on communications from other states. The newly formed Indiana Marketing Quota Protest association, of which he is secretary-treasurer, was plan ned as a nucleus of such a move ment, he said. He has received letters from farmers from Ohio to Iowa, he said, and In Indiana alone 30,000 have shown Interest through pro test meetings in "almost 60" of the state's 92 counties. Earlier this week a group of Oklahoma farmers joined with others In Kansas and Missouri in a similar movement. The Kansas parent body announced it would become the National Agricultural Producers association to wage its fight on a nationwide scale. In May the nation's wheat growers approved by a better than two-thirds vote marketing quotas for this year under the ag ricultural adjustment act. They decided farmers selling more wheat than the normal produce of their allotted acreage should be charged a penalty on each ex cess bushel. Before the referendum, con gress had fixed the penalty at half the basic loan rate, thus In creasing It from 15 to 49 cents. The association obtained a pledge from Senator Van Nuys iD.-Ind.) to support pending bills to lift the 49-cent penalty. The senator said he himself was liable to the penalty because he "had planted five acres over his wheat quota on his Maryland farm. "I think we can get legislation through to remedy this penalty business," the senator said. Pomona Picnic Is Awaited by Grange An anual event that all grang ers are eagerly awaiting the Po mona picnic will he held at Kel- I loRf next Sunday, July 20. The main speaker of the day will be Judge W. A, Johnson of Giants Pass, who Is a member of the state grange executive commit tee. Community singing will be led by Jerry S. Sayler of Port land. Orchestra music will enliven the day and prizes of $10, $7.50 and $o will be awarded the best drill teams from the various sub ordinate granges. Sport events will be under the direction of Fred A. Goff and include races and games for youngsters, while horseshoe pitching will interest those who enjoy "barnyard golf." An elaborate program is being prepared by Mrs. Paula Ander son, lecturer of the Pomona, and it Is expected that one ot the larg est assembly of farmers ever held in Douglas county will take place at Kellogg next Sunday when farm operators from all parts of the county meet In the beautiful grove adjacent to Kellogg grange hall to renew old friendships and enjoy a basket dinner. Oregon Rye Grass, Clover in Demand Greatly Increased outlet for Oregon grown domestic rye grass and crimson clover seed is devel oping In Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina, believes W. L. Teutsch, assistant director of ex tension at Oregon State college, who visited the region recently with N. C. Donaldson, state AAA executive officer, following the annual national AAA conference in Washington. Extensive trial distribution ot rye grass and crimson clover seed was made in that area last year by the AAA In an attempt to en eournpe the use of winter cover crops to halt the serious effect of erosion. Teutsch and Donaldson found that the scedings made early last fall had produced heavy cover crops which not only af forded .winter protection to the soil but provided good spring pas ture, which is much needed in that region. They learned that 26 per cent of the farms In Vir ginia have no cows even to sup ply family needs. The grass and clover mixture is superior in this region as a cover crop to vetch and peas used far ther south. This is a new prac tice in these states, which if it Is generally adopted, holds tremen dous possibility for expansion of the seed production industry in this state, Teutsch believes. Copper in Mineral Mix Cause of Sheep Deaths Mineral mixtures containing copper are highly dangrous when fed to sheep, according to results noted In Oregon this year by Dr. J. N. Shaw, head of the veter inary medicine department at Oregon State college. A pure bred Lincoln ram that died from causes unknown .to the owner was found,, upon examination, to have been killed by copper poi soning which affected the kid neys, which were four or five times as large as normal and dis colored. It was learned that the ram had been fed a mineral mixture composed of copper sulphate, sul phur, bonemeal, and salt. Some times sheepmen feed minerals) containing copper In hopes of do- WHEN COMFORT IS i I - ft II J m G H E O K D S WATER HEATING IS A LOW-COST LUXURY "INSTALL IT.
