MORE AUTO auto section
PORTLAND, Ore., Apr. 2 (Special)
During the first eight months of
the registration year 1031-1032, there
have been 16,000 less care registered
in Oregon than ln the corresponding
period of 1030-31, according to figures
released by the Oregon State Motor
association. During tho year 1031,
however, Oregon motorists used sev
eral millions gallons of gas more than
they did in 1931. This could mean
only one thing according to the asso
ciation, and that Is that the Oregon
motorists drove more miles ln 1931
than they did In 1030 and this holds
good with the national experience as
motorists throughout the country
averaged 300 miles more of travel per
car last year than In 1930. This con
elusion is based on the gasoline corr
sumptlon for motor cars, which was
600.000.000 gallons more than the pre

. AN INDEIjIIUjE INFLUENCE
. By Alice J ml son Pealo
Joeoph was 3 when he was adopted
by an unmarried woman. The family
consisted of his foster mother and nor
llfo-long friend. v
Both women woro highly intelli
gent, well poised and kindly. They
gave him every pleasure that coula
wlBoly be his. They sent him to an
excellent nursery school and wort
pleased to seo how quickly ho re
sponded to his many new advantages.
From one month to the next it wns
possible to observe his mental and
'Physical urowth. But as tho months
became years, It seemed strange to
them that Josoph still employed the
manner and speech of his former
home and that his one passion re
mained what It had always been an
inordinate Interest ln anything and
everything that had to do with horses.
In nursery school he constantly or
ganized games ln which ono or two
other children had to be horses while
ho .drove them about shouting to
thorn !n o fluent teamster's vocab
ulary. Later on, when school work became
rormai ana tnoro was no longer iree-
dom for such play, he occasionally
played hookey to spond the morning
"Help lng' the neighborhood, ico-man,
driving his team from door to door.
When ho was 0 ho bogged permis
sion to wotk ln tho grocery storo after
Bohool hours. The grocery man naa
promised to let him drive tho dollvery
wagon.
, t Joseph's fascination for driving and
horses, his preference for tough lang
uage and tough people generally is
not, mysterious.
' His new environment, which gave
him' so much, jacked ono thing a

a 'teamster. Joseph had to cling to

Most Hay
Is Brought
In Report
The largest quantltv of hay to be
shipped Into the Wallowa country .
In many years has been brought ln
during the past four or five weeks;
writes G. o. Meek, Observer corre
spondent. Eighteen carloads, rang
ing from 16 to 20 tons each, have
been received at the various unload
ing stations ln the county. In ad
dition to this, a considerable amount
has been brought ln by truck for
farmers who did not get ln the car
load shipments. One car has
been unloaded here during the week
and another car Is said to be due
here the first of the week. .
With stormy weather continuing
there Is still a rather large call for
small lots of hay and A. W. John
son ln commenting on the matter the
last of the week Bald he was of the
opinion that It would be necessary to
order at least another car to supply
the needs of local feeders. Since
the snow has melted away ln the
lower parts of the community allow
ing the moving out of a few bunches
of the stock, a little local hay Is be
ing offered for sale. Reports indl- :
cate that one or two of the farmers
ln middle valley have a few tons for
sale at $12.60 per ton which is nearly
two dollars per ton cheaper than
hay can be got from outside points.
Much of the baled hay which has
bcon received here Is said to havo
been of rather poor quality and
quite badly Infested with weeds and
sandburs. Many of the farmers who
felt a few weeks ago that their feed
supplies were plenty large enough to
meet all needs find themselves prac
tically out at this time.
Shipments Heavy
Recent shipments of fat hogs from
this county have been quite heavy
for this season of the year. During
the past week two cars were Bent from
the county and reached Portland ln
time to get the greater part of the
recent raise ln prices. Some two
weeks ago, one car of hogs was
brought to the local stockyards for
shipment. At the time, the slide
ln the canyon provented the ship
ment going out for nearly a week.
Tho hogs were held at the yards from
Friday until the following Wednes
day before they could be shipped.
However, upon weighing ln Portland,
It was -found that they had gained
some weight and also commanded lOo
per hundred better price than would
havo been received had they reached
Portland on Monday as had been
Intended. Consequently farmers hav--lng
hogs ln the shipment feel they
did not loso greatly by the delay In
shipment. The price being received
for finished hogs at this time Is
felt by producers to be Just about
feed cost, whllo for some of the mid- -winter
shipments the net returns fell
considerably below cost of produc
tion, .
Plow
Shallow;
Save Money
Among ways for Oregon farmers to
out down cash expense In operations
this, year, O. R. Jackman, farm crops
extension specialist at O. 8. O., men
tions particularly the. possibility of
saving in plowing.
Flow shallow' says , Jackman,
"particularly, it you nog tractor plow
ing this spring, as ie deeper you
plow the more monoy it costs,1 This '
may sound Uko agricultural heresy,
but results at the oxperlmont station
show that If you disk first, then
five-inch plowing results in yields
exactly as good as 8 to 11 Inch plow
ing. So for tho present It Is good
policy to disk first and then plow
shallow."
For Eastern Oregon farmers f ho
makes a similar suggestion by point
ing out that by disking all the stub
bio first one can then take time about
gottlng It plowed and thus save put
ting out cash for hired help.
"If I couldn't afford to hire help
I'd disk all tho land and then come
back and plow It, oxtendlng the plow
ing into Juno If necessary," says Jack
man. "June plowing If the land Is
disked first Isn't bo bad. It Is not
as good as April plowing, but It beats
June plowing without disking and
beats It badly."

Mr. Davis, representing the Federal
Crop Loan corporation, and out from
tho Bpokano office, was In La Grande
Thursday and mot with tho commit
tees representing tms county ana
Wallowa county and also a group 01
Interested valley residents. Tho Un
ion county committee consists of P.
L. Meyer, cashier of the First National
bank of La Grande, Ernest DoLong of
Grange hall and Frank McKcnnon. ot
Imbler. The representatives from
Wallowa county were Ernest Johnson,
Mr. Hlmmclrlght and Banker Pace,
together with county agricultural
agent, N. G. Donaldson. In tho con
ference wero about 20 orchardlsts
from Union county.
Mr. Davis explained the workings of
tho proposition, for the loaning of
money for seed purposes, etc., under
tho federal plan, giving out much
mora than the more meagre details
which had been available before.
While the plan permits no loon to
covor tho cost of labor, there Is avail
able under certain conditions and at
a fair rato of Interest, a sum which
may be used for the purchase of seed,
and otherwise car for tho prepara
tion of this year's crops. Tho limit
for such a loan Is $400, and the se
curity, ns we understand it, Is a first
mortgage on the crops to bo har
vested later in tho season. In short. It
is said that the plan practically takes
caro of all cash expenses necessary for
the preparation of the crop outside
of labor.
It is believed by those at the meet
ing, and those familiar with the plan
and present conditions, that there
will bo many In this county who will
avail themselves of the assistance of
fered, for, as explained at the meet
ing Thursday, the plan sounds very
reasonable. Applications are to be
made through the three men ap
iwlntcd to serve in this county. Mr.
Myers, Mr. DoLong or Mr. McKennon.
