REPORT Actual cash bonoflts to Oregon farmers who contract with the gov ernment to cocpemto In a national plan of agricultural adjustment will he paid early this fall, probably by September 15, according to details of the wheat adjustment policy received by the Oregon Stato college exten sion service. Wheat has been select ed as one of the two first of the basic surplus commodities to which acreage control will bo applied, cot ton) now being Included under a land rental plan, The domestic allotment plan has been definitely decided upon as the maH practical for immediate uso and will now bo applied as a three-year program, according to word from Washington. Decentralized adminis tration has also been worked out In tended to mako tho plan practically self -executing within each county. In putting tho plan Into effect, ;ne farm act administration will llrst de termine the average amount of wheat consumed as food In this country in the five year period 1028-11)32. Every wheat producing state then be 'allotted" a share ot this domestic production on the basis of the pro. portion of the total United States crop It produced during tho same five years, Next, every wheat produc ing county within tho state will he allotted a share on the same basis. This amount or wheat will be that on which benefit payments will be made, it Is pointed out that these prtwrtionft are worked out on a na tional basis and allotments will be mnde without regard to the ultimate dlsnoAltlon of any particular block of wheat. Disposition of .wheat by the B'Q" er. m u matter of fact, Is no concern of tho agricultural adjustment ad ministration under this plan. Once the farmer compiles with the other provisions of the contract. It Is en-! tlrely up to him where or when he j sells his wheat, or whether he dells i KetJidence rhoiie 617 a community dinner on Memorial day, and shortly thereafter -his condition became critical, The Hug Reunion (From the Recorder) The usual good fellowship and bounteous feast characterized tho annual Hug re union, held In tho Elgin city park ounciay. The morning was spent in greetings and novelty races in which tho chil dren participated, and for which they were rewarded wltlii "suckers." The lunches brought by the Hugs and their guests were spread on one big tabie and lines formed to dispose of tho refreshments, After dinner the annual program was presented, ono of those present for It being Mrs, Anna Hug, 07 years of ago, pioneer member of tho Hug band who came from Switzerland In tho early '60 's. A part of the afternoon was devot ed to a business session in which Glenn Hug succeeded Julius Hug a president, Lenau Tucker was chosen ylco president to succeed to the presi dency next year, and Mrs. Rose Bel lamy re-elected secretary -treasurer. Entertainment features of tho af ternoon were: Accordion solo Prldlcy Hug, ac companied by Julius Hug. Welcome Henry Hug. Annual poem Written by Johnny Blumenstcln and read by tho secre tary.

Skit," Thft Clairvoyant" Mrs. Fred Huffman and Mrs. Ben Ben shadler. Benin 1 Hug, 111 a tori an, reported that only one member of tho family, Mrs, Jessie Hug, had died within the last year. Two marriages, and a number of births wcro mentioned, but a full list of names was not available. Mr. Hug reported that a history of the Hug family translated from the Ger man, is in process of preparation for presentation to tho association. Tills describes tho Ufe in Switzerland, arid: tho translation ha, been carried as j for as the arrival In America, where the first winter was spent In Now York. Tho final event' was tho presenta tion of bits of family history. Bert Hug was flrHt on tho platform and recalled tha ox team from Utah. Pre dominant In his mind from the boy hood trip was the Indian scare re ceived as tho caravan approached Boise, Warned that an attack by In dians might be expected Inasmuch us white men in the vicinity had been slaughtered by the Indians, the Hugs raced toward Boise and at night with their wagons circled to enclose men and animals In the style of tht pio neers of tho Oregon trail, they watch ed through tho hours of darkness armed with two old muskets, an axe and a big butcher knife. For years peace had reigned on the old trail, but tho outbreaks of 1877-70 had re created for tho. unsuspecting travel ers tho old danger from -hostile red men. Next In tho mind of tho speaker was tho eternal sago brush taste that permeated their food and drink dur ing the weeks that they were on tho trail from Utah to the Grande Rondo valley, Henry Hug, William Roulet and Miss TIM Hug spoke briefly, re counting tho impression of unsur passed beauty nnd similarity to tneir Swiss homo that tho older members of tho caravan felt as they created the mountains and gazed Into the pines and tho greenery of tho Grande Ronde valley. "Here is where we shall locigo lor the rest or our lives" was said to havo been their thought. MEN It at all or not. Acreage control ia the fundamental feature of the new plan, and every farmer must sign a contract to re duce his acreage. If called upon, by a specified amount not to exceed 20 per cent. The exact amount may not bo determined until after It Is seen if au International agreement among the wheat exporting countries for acreage reduction can be reached. Application of tho orgonhwtlon plans In counties may be started in July. Wheat growers In each county will form their own association for administering the plan and will elect their own officers. Each wheat Tanner will be assigned his share of tho "benefit wheat" for his county, tho proportion being de termined on the basis of his average prf.luctlon for the last THKEE YEARS. To Join the plan, which Is entirely voluntary, ho contracts to reduce his acreage for 1934 by the amount specified, and sow his quota to wheat In a workmanlike manner. On completion of the contract h? will he eligible to receive two-thirds of his allotment benefit a. the remain ing third to be paid when he gives proof next spring that tho reduction has actually boon made. Just how much tWe benrf.O will be Is yet to be fi&nly determined, but the plan Is to make them enough so that added to the actual market price cf wheat they will bring the tctal return per bushel onhts do mestic proportion of the nation's Wheat crop up to the pre-wifs) parity with prK'ea of thing the farmer buys. The cost is to ba pnld from a proces sing tax of about 30 cents a bushel on nil domestic food wheat. Regional work has already been started toward putting the plan Into efrect here in the west, and as soon as further steps are decided upon, notification will be Ktven through the state extension services which are b. Ing used to the extent possible by "GRANDMA" Funonil services for the late Mrs. Sara Thompson were held Thursday afternoon at the First Christian church In La Grande and were largely attended by relatives and friends of tho years from all over the valley. Mra. Thompson passed away at the homo of her son-in-law and daugh ter, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Johnson of Lower Covo following a long Illness. ho had been In remarkable health, even though sho was past 00 years of age. A few months ago, however, sho fell and fractured her hip and since then her decline has been quite rapid. , Her pastor, Rev. Paul Do P. Mortl moro delivered tho funeral sermon and a quartet composed of Mrs. U B. Purdy, Mr. and Mrs. Walter yrlcn and Mr, Mortlmoro sang three hymns.

Adjustment Move Demands Oregon Seeds A prospective demand for millions of pounds of crested wheat grass seed, which con be raised in Eastern Oregon, to be used on land taken out of wheat production through opera tion of the new federal agricultural adjustment act. Is foreseen by E. R. Jackman, extension agronomist at Oregon 'state college. For Western Oregon Jackman fore- secs'an alr.irst e pially stimulated de mand for the seed crops grown there, such Ob the clovers, vetches and vari ous other grass seeds. "If the administration decldco to , try to effect a reduction ot 20 per j cent Jn wheat acreage, as ha3 been suggested, that will mean some 300.- 000 acres In the Columbia basin alone, for which the only 'possibility in the long run would be seeding down to grass," Jackman points out ''Tno only grass possibility la crested wheat grass, which has proved Itself so wonderfully in the few years since Its Introduction throughout Eastern Oregon by the experiment station and extension service. Heeds In Demnn I Ti c same statement applies to mu:h ot the wheat belt or -ansrs, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Oklahoma. Texas and the Intermountain and Pa cific northwest states. It seems t,afe to predict then that we will have a demand for crested wheat grass seed far lh excess of the sup-ply. It is doubtful If more than 150,000 pounds of this seed was produced sln the United States last year. It wou'.d re quire 3,000,000 pounds to seed tho 300,000 acres in tho Columbia oasln none, using 10 pounds to the acre. "Of course there will be other uses made of tho same land, and even if seeded to forage crops, not all will go Into crested wheat grass, but the fact remains that' If present plana contlnuo there will bo a heavy de mand for years to come which every county in Eastern Oregon may well prepare to help supply," Jackman mnsk fro1" the pavement. Kenneth continued. Keency, mechanic, tested the brakes The corn and cotton states will af-' ftUer tno accident and found that ford tho greatest Increased outlet fori"1" truck could stop within from 30 Western Oregon seed crops. Jackman to 85 fcot when going .20 or 25 miles believes. The corn states are all clover states except Texas, and all use or chard gras3, toll oat grass, white clover, meadow fescue. English rye grass and other crops of which seed Is grown in Western Oregon. The cot ton states will probably develop an unprecedented demand for hairy vetch, crimson clover and Austrian peas. WILLAMETTE CHOIR SINGS IN LA GRANDE (Continued From Pago One) Tho choruo numbers were Varied only by a group of trumpet duets. "Adeste Fidelia' and the "Sextet" from Lucia by two of the men of the group, and one number by the women's chorus, Robert Magln, of Portland, served as. accompanist on both piano and tho organ, as the numbers required. Sponsored Uy League Tho concert of last evening was sponsored by the members of the Epworth league of the local church as a benefit for their Wallowa Lake Institute fund and they profited well financially.
