Closing Date of Spring
Crop Insurance Feb. 28
Final dale for taking out a fed
eral all-risk crop insurance assist
ant at the slate AAA office, has
reminded Oregon spring wheat
growers.
County offices In spring wheal
areas will shortly be staging in
tensive campaigns calling grow
ers' attention to the new note
payment plan, Kiddle said. Under
fins plan, the premium can be
deducted from any indemnity the
I farmer might receive, or from
! his AAA payment or wheal loan,
I w hichever is made first. These
j notes mature August IS, 11-I2, and
jean he paid ill wheat or cash any
time before thai.
Winter wheat production on
more than Ti.lKKI farms is already
cover 'd by crop insurance this
i year. Kiddle said, predicting a rec
ioi iI year Irom the point of Hum-
ber of policies in effect. -I
Spring Use of Nitrogen i
Boosts Grass Seed Yield
Nitrogen fertilizers are best ap

spring, according to results of
one year's tests made on 10-acre
plots in a chewings fescue field
of thy Red Hill Soils experimen
tal area near Oregon City. The!
best yield ot seed was obtained,
when' a spring application ot 11X1
: pounds per acre vi l! 20 0 Xerttllz-1

I ammonium sulphate. !
Results were nearly as good
where the fall application of lhe
first material was made followed
by a spring application of am-
I monium sulphate. Where only a

Available to Farmers
Word has been received by the
Done las counlv office of the farm
security administration that loans
may now be made to any farmer
for the cooperative purchase of
f irm machinery, regardless of
the farmer's ability to obtain
credit elsewhere.
As the war program will re

Seed Industry of
Oregon Reaching
HygePropfes
CORVALLIS, Jan. lft-(AP)
A combination of circumstances
has put Oregon In the forefront
nationally in many branches of
seed production and has resulted
in the growth of a $10,000,000 in
dustry hero, Glenn Ritchie said.
Ritchie, of Hlllsboro, president
of the Oregon Seed Growers'
league, said in his annual reports
to delegates attending a conven
tion here that Oregon's soil and
climate, the educational and re
search program of Oregon State
college, the AAA purchase pro
gram and development of com
bine harvesting machinery all
were Important in the industry.
He warned growers against un
wise expansion along certain lines
and urged attention to production
rotation programs and early plan
ning for post-war conditions.
There will be no overproduction
of winter cover crop seed even
though Oregon's 40 per cent ex
panded acreage should yield a
Dumper crop, the league was told.
E. L. Deal, southern division
AAA official, said the government
would welcome any production In
excess ot demand In order to
build a stock pile to permit early
planting the following year.
The ultimate goal for cover
crops in the south Is 13,000,000
acres, he said, a figure which
would require even further exten
sion of Oregon production.
Machinery company represen
tatives reported adequate sup
plies of repair parts were In sight
U immediate orders were placed.
Repair quotas were set at 150 per
cent of 1940 output in most lines,
but they said early ordering was
essential.
The output of machines will be
below 1940 levels, but more fa
vorable priorities recently were
given for the number permitted.
Plans will be made, delegates
said, for use of existing machines
at utmost capacity through com
munity inter-change and more
continuous operation.
Corn-to-Grass Shift
Makes Friend of Crow
WILMINGTOK, N. C.-(AFI
The ancient war betweon the
farmer and the croVv over corn, it
is predicted, will come to an end
in the Southeastern states.
With the gradual shift to live
stock and dairying, corn is being
displaced by grasses that afford
year-round grazing. The result
is that the crows feed on destruc
tive insects.

More for Defense"
KENTON, O.-(AP) Sherman
Wolf, a farmer, tacked up in his
barn for his cows' perusal a post
er calling for increased dairy pro
duction. Three days later one of
his cows gave birth to twins, and
a week later another cow had

One such implement used in
some sections for making trashy

This is fashioned by taking the
moldboards entirely off a regular
plow or by cutting them down to
stubby moldboards that do not
turn the furrow slice completely
over. While stubble mulching has
come to be a generally accepted
practice in the summer fallow

ASTORIA, Jan. 19 (AP) The
Oregon Dairymen's association at
a meeting here advocated elimi
nation of competing truck routes
in milk collection and delivery to
conserve trucks and tires.
The resolution asked manufac
turing and distributing agencies
in the dairy industry to recognize
this situation at once and take
corrective steps.
Spokesmen said dairy farmers
were ready to fulfill obligations
of this nation toward its allies,
oven though mindful of the risk
of overproduction after hostilities
end. "There is every indication,"
a statement set forth, "that as a
result of this expansion dairy
farmers will find themselves in
the same position at the end of
this war that the wheat farmer
found himself at the termination
of the World war. We feel that
there should be no profiteering
in business, or racketeering
among labor circles during this
emergency. As dairymen, we are
