Newspaper Page TextPage Eight LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. LA GRANDE, ORE. Thursday, April 19, 1934 AAA RECOMMENDS "BACK TO GRASS" MOVE FOR FARMS By Carl C. Cranmer WAfJ-tTNGTON W What are farmers going to do with the more than 40.000,000 acres, an area larger than Illinois, withdrawn Xrom crop production this year? "Back to gross" Is the answer of the agriculture department. A picture of the new national plan for agriculture, slowly evolving at the department, might be drawn from remarks of agricultural officials, and it might be titled "Pastoral America with a pleasanter farm life, more leisure, less drudgery and lower oper ating costs pictured as its chief ad vantages. Joseph P. Cox, chief of the re placement crops section of the AAA, says that the "only logical adjust ment" In farm production Is to "shift to grass" If the high -geared, commercial farming machine Is to be slowed down without a jar. "Sod Is a shock absorber that will cushion the adjustment program," he says. While the replacement crops sec tion is investigating plants produc ing drugs, Insecticides, oils, perfumes, fibres and other products In an effort to find new crops for the abandoned acreage. Cox believes not more than 1.000.000 acres will be used in that way in the next few years. - Chester Davis, farm administrator, has pointed out that sowing more grass is a return from Intensive com mercial farming to a less intensive system, to the days before the war when farmers had not yet plowed up their blue grass pastures and meadows to plant corn and wheat. "Grassland farming takes less work than high-pressure plowland farm ing; It provides, speaking generally, a pleasanter farm life, with lower operating costs, less man-kllllng and woman -killing drudgery and more leisure." says H. R. Tolley, assistant administrator. - The practical effects of grassland farming are explained ?y Cox. It re duces the production of crops and yet does not necessarily Increase the surplus of livestock products because ! each cultivated acre produces aboiH j twice ss much animal subsistence as ' CLASSIFIED AD -IHl KiUR n.cu OF UNION WALLOW COPJUU ' (Count fir ftwig, words to tie line.)

He declares the or ganization is sounder than ever, with a surplus of 6264.120.11 and a total non-as&essable Insurance on the books of $125,077,434. Since its or ganlzAtlon In 1804, it has paid out to members for fire losses a total of $4.- 813.692.39. It has adjusted and paid all claims promptly. The Oregon Mutual is the only mu tual LlX Insurance company organ ized in Oregon which is legally able to write non -assessable policies, which to the layman means that) in no case can he be taxed or assessed more than the premium which lie pays for hts policy. A CI'RIOl'S CAT SALT LAKE CITY W Pi re men responding to an alarm found their services were required to rescue a Persian cat which had Its tail caught in a washing machine. If you puffer from constipation, read this fine letter: "I have been troubled for years with constipation. During1 this time, 1 have tried almost every known remedy. Then some one recommended eating1 Kelloptr's Al.L Uran, and the proper results fol lowed immediately. "Since eating Kellocp's All Fran each morning', there has been n general improvement in my health without lie ill effects that I formerly experienced when taking laxatives. Hereafter, Kellopg s All-Hiian will always be a part of my diet.' Mr. fc G. fUtues, 1201 K. 7th St,, Los Angeles, Calif. Research shows Kcllopg's All Bran provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vitamin 13 to aid elimination. All-Bran also sup plies iron for the blood. The "bulk" in All-Pran is much like that in leafy vecetablas. Isn't this "cereal way"' safer than risk ing patent medicines? Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient to relieve ordi nary constipation. Vith each meal, in serious caes. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Be sure to ask for Kellovfr's All-Bran. It contains much more needed "bulk" than part-bran products. In the red -and -gTeen packaire. Made by Kellogg iu Bat tle Crwk.
