ceived larger payments if the new
law had been in effect then. About
a third of them would have re
ceived smaller checks, with half
of these getting no checks at all.
It is the first indication as to
the effect of the new law, which
will boost the $25 weekly maxi
mum to $35 and stiffen the require
ments. It also increases the pay
roll taxes levied against employ
ers. -

representing nearly 50 per cent in
crease over the 1954 acreage.
Increased field corn production
in the state will be reflected in
the number of entries in the hy
brid corn yield contest, which is
being held in conjunction with the
annual Oregon Corn Show opening
at Canby this morning.
An estimated 150 yield entries,
20 per cent more than a year ago,
were reported Thursday by Dr. R.
E. Fore, Corvallis, who is chair
man of the Canby event. Just as
surprising as the large number of
entries is. Dr. Fore said, that 120
of these are from Western Oregon,
chiefly the Willamette Valley.
Shucking Contest Set
The public corn show will also
feature shucking contests for both
adults and youngsters, champion
10-year exhibits, corn judging and
exhibits by Future Farmers of
America.
All events, including the free en
tertainment Friday night, will be
held at the Clackamas County fair
grounds. -
Since the founding of the show
14 years ago, Oregon's hybrid corn
acreage has increased from
"none" listed t to nearly loo per
cent, and yields in excess of 100
bushels per acre have been report
ed from all principal corn growing
areas in the state. The record yield
of 204 bushels per acre was set in
1953 by Ron Larson, Hermiston
FFA youth. Last year's winner
was Oscar McCarty, Echo, with
192 bushels. Neither figure is ex
pected to be reached in this year's
show.
The show opens officially at 10
a.m. this morning. Tonight's enter
tainment, sponsored by the Canby
Chamber of Commerce, is made
up of Willamette VaUey talent.
New 195S Feature Added
Saturday's show gets underway
at 10:30 a.m. with the judging con
tests. Husking contests are to be
held Saturday afternoon.
A new feature of this year's
event will be introduction of a corn
yield honor roll with a "100-Busbel
Club" for non-irrigated lands and
a "150-BusheI Club" for irrigated
corn. .
Canby boasts all but one of the
farmers of non-irrigated lands who
have reached the magical 135-bu-shel
mark. These are John and
Ronald - Kummer. Levis Mnssey,
Russel Rutherford, Paul Sollie,
Harold and Darrell Kraxber
ger and Jim T. Mofiett. H. D.
McMillon, Silverton, was the club's
first member, with 105 bushels in
1961. .
Only three western Oregon grow
ers have made the "150-Bushel
Club" on irrigated land. All from
Canby, they are Larry Faist. 185
