Better Farming
In Douglas Shown
In AAA Report
Frogram Compliance Speeds
Progress Toward Goals of
Conservation, Assured Pay
Douglas county farmers
lolning whole-heartedly In
swing to bettor farming, B. .
Nichols, chairman of the county
AAA committee, announced
receipt of the annual report
the Oregon agricultural conserva
tion committee, showing state
and county participation figure:
for the 1910 AAA program.
Farmers of the county who co
operated with the program receiv
ed $61,956 for performing 42,579
units of soil building practices
under the farm and range conser
vation programs, the report
shows. A total of 2184 farms,
representing 91.5 per cent of the
county's crop land, participated
in the 1940 program. Other pay
menls earned by county farmers
under divisions of the 1940 pro
gram include $8,790 for wheat
parity.
' Outstanding among , the prac
tices carried out by farmers of
the county last year were the
seeding of 23,150 acres of vetch
for hay and seed, 13,157 acres of
perennial grasses for' pasture,
1205 acres of alfalfa and main
taining 1,306 acres of clover.
Green manure crops were turned
under on 5885 acres; 118,512
jmunds of phosphate and 45,419
pounds of sulphur were applied to
cover 3000 acres of leguminous
eras.
Under the grunge program de
ferrcd graying was practiced on
23,101 acres to permit natural re
seeding and 49 springs developed.
Numerous minor practices were
carried out by land owners in ad
dition to those mentioned.
Progress Inoreaelng.
Crop insurance was taken out
by 87 farmers on fall seeded
wheat to insure normal yields for
the 1941 harvest. Policies cover
ed 11,117 bushels of production
protecting losses from damage by
fire, storms, pests and disease.

goals conservation, adequate
production and higher farm in
come," the chairman commented.
"Direct payments earned by the
farmers contribute a sizable
amount to the farm income, but
the stabilizing features of the pro
gram have added many thousands
of dollars to the value of farm
product. We believe that these
features are more Important than
the payments, which are mostly
for specific work performed, in
Increasing farm Income."
The conservation materials

which are ' helping farm e r s
achieve these goals, the chairman
said. '

Lamb Sales Give
Members of 4-H
Marketing Lesson
;
BAKER The Danish system
of Judging livestock was used for
the first time at a lamb show in
Oregon here recently at the an
nual 4-H club fat lamb show spon
sored by the O. S. C. extension
service.
More than 100 fat lambs were,
separated- Into several market
grades by Harry Lindgren, ex
tension animal husbandman. The
Danish method of judging pro
vides for the grading of animals
into groups according to their
value for the use Intended. In
the case or fat lambs usual
grades are choice, good and me
dium with segregations made ac
cording to confirmation, finish
and weight. Outstanding lambs
were selected from the choice
group for special recognition as
extra choice lambs.
The extension service officials
believe that this method of judg
ing livestock will gain in popu
larity and use and that this tvoe
of show has outstandine educa
tional value since the club mem
bers can observe how well their
lambs meet present market de
mands. At the end of the show a lamb
sale was held at which the best
19 lambs were sold individuaily
at auction, while the remainder
were sold according to grade, af-
lording club members a chance
to observe the usual commercial
practices. A second lot of lambs
j owned by Baker county 4-H club
members will be sold three or
four weeks after the first show,
I when they have reached proper
market quality.
Livestock authorities compare
the marketing of meat animals
with the marketing of straw
berries. They say that certain
lambs are ready to sell at a cer
tain time, just as some straw
berries are ready to be picked. If
green or over ripe berries are of
fered for sale the gower' loses,
and, similarly, if lambs are sold
that are not ready for market
the producer pays for the error.
Bill Seeks Marketing,
Quotas for Irish Spuds
CORVALLIS, Aug. 11 (API
A bill pending at Washington,
D. C, would establish marketing
quotas for Irish potatoes for pro
ducers of more than three acres,
the slate AAA office announced
here.
The bill provides for proclama
tion of quotas by the secretary
of agriculture not later than Sep
tember 15 of each year subject to
approval by growers at a refer
endum not later than September
30. As with the recent wheat
marketing quota, a two-thirds fa
vorable vote would be required.

Farmers Build New
Bins in Reply To
Wheat Haul Ban
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 11.
'API Railroads clamped an em
bargo on wheat shipped to Kan
sas City elevators for storage, but
that didn't stump Kansas and
Missouri farmers.
They hauled out carpenter tools
and constructed hundreds of new
bins and renovated old farm
buildings. With cash market and
government loan prices flirting
with dollar-plus figures, they re
fused to chance weather loss by
dumping valuable grain on the
ground.
With the 1941 winter harvest
virtually completed, a survey dis
closed today that with the excep
tion of the Garden City, Kans.,
area, where a small amount was
stored, no wheat was piled on
the ground In Kansas this year.
Although a majority of oublic
elevators
are nearly f I ed. -the
I survey showed an acute storage
problem virtually was nonexist
ent In the two states. Besides the
farmers' own bins, a small but
constant movement of wheat into
consumptive channels and a dis
appointing yield in some areas
has helped the storage situation.
Railroads, mindful of defense
program needs and wary of ty
ing up their cars with wheat,
placed the embargo in effect
July 14. - ...
Trade observers expected the
embargo to force farmers to sell
more wheat on the open market.
But farmers are holding on to
most of their grain, waiting for
higher cash prices or for approv
ed storage facilities so they can
obtain government loans.
The lodn rate for the Kansas
City ared is S1.10 a bushel. Cash
prices here yesterday were S1.0GJ
a bushel for No. 2 ordinary
wheat, the basic grade.
Deadline for 1942 Crop
Insurance Is Cited
With August 30 as the final
date for taking out crop insur
ance on fall wheat, the state
AAA office is staging a campaign
throughout the state to acquaint
all wheat growers with orovis-
ions of the new simplified crop '
insurance program.
Three major improvements in
the 1942 program are being call
ed to growers' attention. Thev
are as follows:
1. Provision for payment of
premium with a non-interest-bearing
note signed at the time
of application. The note may be
paid by the grower any time be
fore August 18, 1942. After that
date It will be deducted from his
AAA conservation payment or
wheat loan.
2. A single application form,
executed by one signature, which
insures all of the farmer's inter
est in the wheat crop.
3. Revision of premium rales
hy Inclusion of recent crop his
tory on the Individual farm.

Wheat Program
Reminder Given
Douglas Growers
Wheat growers were remind
ed In a statement issued yester
day by B. F. Nichols, chairman
of the county AAA committee, of
provisions whereby those farm
ers who have stored excess 1941
wheat under marketing quoTas
may seed below their 1942 aver
age allotments and obtain re
lease of the stored wheat for
marketing without payment of
penalty.
Mr. Nichols pointed out that
the farmer who stores excess
wheat may take out of storage
and market without penalty ex
cess wneat equal to the amount
by which he reduces his' follow
ing year's seedings below his al
lotment, measured in terms of
his normal yield, or equal to the
amount his next year's actual
production falls below the norm
al yield of his allotted acreage.
Where seedlncs are below the
allotment, the county committee
will release a corresDondlne
amount of .1941 excess wheat as
soon as the seeding for the year
is completed and the wheat seed
ings measured.
"This means," Nichols said,
"that in cases of fall-seeded
wheat, a farmer may convert his
excess wheat to free wheat lale
this rail. However, in cases
where spring seeding Is possible,
the county committee will retain
the bond or other security posted
by the producer until -it is de
termined that no more wheal
will . be seeded."
Mr. Nicnois gave as an ex
ample a farmer with excess
wheat who has a 1942 20-aerc
wheat -allotment and a 20-bushel-per-acre
yield. If he reduces his
seedings to 15 acres, he will be
entitled to release 100 bushels of
excess wheat from, storage
(normal yield from 5 acres).
