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.

Storing of Excess
Wheat Advised By
AAA Chairman
Foreseeing a market price high-
or than the loan value for wheat
before the first of the year If
marketing quotas are successful
In keeping surplus wheat off the
market, B. 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.
Grade A Milk Good
For Army Offers
Dairymen who have been grant
ed the right to use the state
grade A Inoel on Iht-ir milk will
have no difficulty in meeting the
requirements of the quartermas
ter department for sale to the
army, says A. W. Metzger, chief
of foods and dairies division of
the stale department of agricul
ture. Regulations for those sell
ing milk to the army and to CCC
camps are not more rigid than
those for meeting thtf state grade
A requirements.

formed the department that the

It has been doing in the past.
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. S.
public health service. The U. S.
public health milk ordinance is a
minimum requirement covering
the various states.

Farmers to Fight
Wheat Penalty
INDIANAPOLIS, July 14.
( 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

ers are eagerly awaiting the Po

Pass, who Is a member of the

land. Orchestra music will enliven

An elaborate program is being

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-
