That government control, merely

company, I planning a trip to Port

with the proper officials thla ver
phase of the food control situation.
In the statement given out by the
mill management. It wa pointed out
that the reduction in the price of
wheat cannot reduce flour pricea ma
terially, since flour food are even
now among lha eheapeet edible. Un
lea other farm product are regu
lated, however, farmer will put In
lea wheat this fall, sowing a more
profitable crop. The regulation of
all claaae of food product, on the
other hand, while poealbly lowering
the profit on all, would leave their
rumiHinitlve desirability from the
farmer' standpoint, the same aa be
fore federal Intervention.

A part of a carload uf seed wheat

this la considered Insufficient to meet

representatives of tha Central Oregon
irrigation company yesterdsr pre
sented to the Daaart Land Hoard the
company's proposed plan of reorga

chutes Water Users' Corporation, un
der the general laws of the state, as
co-operative with the water users
association. Under the articles, as
many fcharos of capital stock as there
are Irrigable acros In the two segre
gations would be authorized, making
approximately 100,100 shares Bach
share of stock Is to represent a defi
nite tract of land and no stock la to
be transferred without the transfer
of the land. The stock would be val

resent the coat of Irrigation work
already completed. It would be Is
sued to the Central Oregon Compaq .
