Page Six LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. Saturday, June 6, 1931 Transfer Model !- State Farms To W. Boise Estate SALEM, Juno 6 P) The three model farms established by the state at independence. ttoseourg ana ucno co In 1919, Thursday were trans ferred to the Whitney L. Boise es- tato by action of the board of- con trol, in payment of the preferred claims of the estate against mem, amounting to $14,500 and Interest. The disposal of these farms, upon which the state expended approxi mately 973,000, has been c-eioro uic board of control since the elimina tion by the legislature of the Oregon land settlement committee, which was formed to buy and operate these three farms. The legislature, how ever, did not appropriate any funds witn wnicn to pay oii.ino odh Bu ttons, and the action of the board yesterday was declared to be the ex tent to wnicn it coma go. i, Whether or not the proposal would- be accepted by tne uoise es- tnto was not Known, .riowaen ewxi Portland, attorney for the estate, In dicated the proposal was not accept able to him, but the matter would bo considered. In addition to the preferred claims the estate has about $7,000 unsecured claims against the farms. . Other claims against the farms, made by Individuals and firms, un der, tho motion would have to be proscntcd to tho Boise estate to se cure wnat settlement possioic. The matter of the three farms, which was termed at the board as a "disastrous venture,' has been before the legislature during recent ses sions, but no money was appropri ated for disposal, though the board was authorized to dispose of them. The original act, which created the land settlement commission for the purpose of handling .the farms In IPIO did not provido obligation on tne part oi tno state to meet ocdis. Tho original act appropriated $50, 000 for the purchaso of the farms. Since that time $23,000 In bonds were taken out against them, which were taken over by Boise. He also made other payments against the farms, upon, which, the estate based its preferred claims. Tho history of tho farms shows that depreciation of equipment, "poor Judgment" in their operation, and decline of market ' prices wore responsible for the fi nancial disaster. ,. Tho farm at Independence at the prcsont tlmo was estimated to be worth about $7,500 as against a capi tal outlay of $19,000; the one at Roscburg valued at $6,000 as against $24,000 outlay, and tho one at Ocho co, variously estimated from $1,600 to $3,000 as against $17,000 outlay. ; L. C. Rullfson, who worked the in dependence farm for seven years and expended $2,500 cosh and made other Improvements, appeared beforo the board to . protest tho action. His claim against the state however was not held legal, and ho was Instructed to deal with the Boise estate In the event the propbsal as made by the state was accepted. Stott declared tho three farms Could not bo liquidated for the amount of tho preferred claims against them, and asked tho motion bo changed to mako the farms apply on the payment. He was overruled. Ho will advise the hoard as to what action tho estate will take. $$$$$$t4 Chats With t Parents r$$$3$$$$$$$4&$$$! ' i ' WORD Hf'ItKBN !

Filling Station For Rocket Will Hang In Space I1ERLIN W How rocket nlane. propelled beyond the stratosphere, or outer layer of the atmosphere, could bo rescued from circling tho earth Indefinitely has been worked out bv imivuu&hui.ic i neons la oi tno propul sion motor school,. The Verein fuer Raumachirfahrt or Kooloty for Space ship Travel, Is a natural center or such calculations i,niid Its enthusiasts contend that to get tno iuii cnecc or recoil motors iho missile or ship should bo sent (iOO miles from tho earth. ,At that distance centrifugal force would balanco tho pull of gravity and a machino would become, In offect. an astoroid, going round and round tho world until kingdom como. It is proposed that uso should bo made of this fact by establishing a super-terrestrial fueling station, built up oi roLiKew separately launched Trom tho earth and "hoofcod up"' af ter arriving at tho asteroid lovel. Each rockot unit would bo shot up ward with a load of fuel, oxygen and other service supplies, but with Just enough power to reach tho 000-mile level. Then a rocket carrying a crow would set out and herd together thoi various units liko so many floating! barrels. Joined, thoy would form u hermetically sealed space station with1 oxygen supply for It crew and sur-1 plus fuel for rockets en route to more distant goals. At first such a celoAtlal filling sta tion wouui do useo tor tne rerueung of fast round-the-world rocket planes capable ot encircling tho globe In 00 minutes. The next step then would be the building of a moon rocket which could be refueled 600' miles up fig uratively speaking at the "top of tho hill," for the hardest part of the trip would be tho GOO -mile climb against gravity. Escaping from t ho moon's attrac tion on the return trip would con sume far less, fuel, because of tho smaller "pull" of tho morn. Arthur Swift Dies Suddenly in Baker BAKER, Ore..

June 6 Replacement of horses with motor equipment in this ' country has eliminated a demand for feed equivalent to tho product of about 25 million acres 'of crop land, an area six times as large as all the crop land in Oregon farms. . This, is one of several changes, in food and feed consumption reported in a survey Just published by the Oregon State college extension service. The demand for farm products, es pecially cereals, has also been affected by changes in food habits.. People eat less wheat, corn and rye and more of dairy products and vegetables now than they did 15 years ago. Housewives were reported as buying about 71 per cent ol the food, and restaurants and hotels us about 20 per cent. Hospitals, clubs and other institutions account for three per cent.

"It is estimated that the people of the United States spend approximately 21,000,000,000 a year for food about one-fourth of the national ' income.
