Washington D. C., Aug. 28.—A l
location of funds has (finally been
made for improvement of airports
in Oregon and Washington, five
in the former state and twelve in
the latter. Of the total approprie-
atxwi of $80,810,110 Oregon will
receive but $1,038,000 distributed
as follows:
Eugene $113,000,
Klamath Falls $278,000, LaGrande
$106,000, The Dalles $180,000 and
Tillamook $410,000. The total for
the 12 airpont projects in Wash
ington is $2,105,000.
Selection of th ese a irp o rts to r e
ceive federal fu n d s w as m ade by a
board composed o f sec retarie s of
w ar, navy and com m erce which c e r
tified th a t th e y w ?re necessary to
the n atio n al defense. T his ce rtifi
cation included 26 locations p re
viously announced b u t on which
work has n o t been sta rte d and 140
new locations. The W PA will do
th e work on 87 of th e projects and
p a rt w ork on 15; the o th ers will
he let fey bid. I t is expected th a t
nil will he com pleted sh o rtly a f te r
th e first of th e year.
W hile all projects a re sta te d to
be n ecessary to th e n atio n al de
fense, th ere is a som ew hat m y s ti
fy in g disproportion in th e selec
tions. F o r instance, Texas is
giv^n 27 a irp o rts on which $5,942,-
00d in federal m oney will be ex
pended. F a r to th e n o rth e a st, in
M aine, 17 sites were chosen fo r
which $3,069,000 will be available,
and w ith one less m num ber G e o r
g ia will receive $3,178,000. J u s t
why th ere should be m ore a irp o rts
in G eorgia th a n in O regon or
W ashington is not clear, n o r why
Maine should he favored above
o th e r N ew E ngland sta te s, unless
it is fe lt th a t th e Fine T ree s ta te
affords a b e tte r jum ping off place
fo r th e defense o f G reenland a n d

Winter Wheat Plans
Demanded Now
Oregon w heat fa rm e rs are be

plans fo r th eir fa rm s p rio r to the
deadline October 31.
E v e r y . farm er who will p lan t
fa b w heat this y ear m u ct sign a
plan fo r his farm if h e is to be
eligible fo r p articip atio n in the
1942 farm conservation program .
\By sig n in g the plan th e fa rm e r
declares his intention to seed w ith
in his w heat acreage allo tm en t and
also indicates the n u m b er of acres
on which he will have w h eat in
1942.
W ith 1942 m ark e tin g qu o tas a l
ready proclaim ed an d alm ost sure
to fee in effect, county officers a re
stre ssin g the im portance of seed
ing w ithin allotm ents. ' C hanges
in the w heat program Ä>r 1942
provide th a t the no n -allo tm en t op
tion can be chosen only by fa rm ers
norm ally cu ttin g w heat fo r h a y and
w ith an allotm ent in excess of
15 acres. Those with allo tm en ts of
few er th a n 15 acres -are exem pt
from quota restrictio n s, however.
The s ta te AAA office also points
ouf th a t it, will not be possible fo r
non -allo tm en t farm s to seed up
to th e ir usual acres, as was th e
case in 1941, w ithout in cu rrin g de
ductions from p a rity and co n ser
vation paym ents.
TheYe will fee no chance to ob
tain a c c u ra te figures on the 1941
crop in Sherm an county fo r some
weeks yet, as w arehouse men are
«till fa r to o busy to sto p and add
up to tals o f intake of w heat.
E stim a te s ru n as high as 3,500,000
bushels but this m ay be higher
th an actu ally can be found.
One sizeable Tdock of land is
known to h av e m ade in excess of
27 bushels per acre and th is on
rather poorer th an av erag e land.
An av erag e yield of 30 bushels
on th e 105,000 acres will make
3.150,000 bushels which will he one
of the la rg e s t crops on record.
Savings in production cost and
closer financing are responsible
fo r much of the la rg e r th an usual
profit m ade this y ea r by farm ers.
T hese savings were m ade because
of the necessity of p ast poor crops
and low prices.
W ednesday 340 loans had feieen
■made in th is county for a to tal
estim ated to be about $1,250,000.
This is ab o u t hqjf the expected
am o u n t of loans to be m ade a l

Of Three Days
A crew is working at the fair
giounds this week changing the
old CCC mess hall into a barn for
4-H club stock. This is being done
to relieve a situation caused by
oxercrowding Tost year when the
supply of stock far exceeded the
a\ ailable room. This year the open
class calves will be put in the old
cattlje (>ani and 4-H calves will
occupy the -old mess hall.
The floor is being torn out and
mangers will be installed to make
the burilding suitable for the fat
»tuck of the club boys and girls.
Mac Barbour was in town this
week to report that his part of
the annual show will be on hand,
fit and ready, by time for the open
ing day, September 12. This means
-that such as Whiz Bang, Gin Fizz,
Red Bluff, 'Reservation and .Tip
Top will be in the corral ready to
be pushed into the chutes for

Driving In Britain
Has Handicaps
British motorists not only have
to, get along on slim ration» of
gasoline, but also must find their
way without the help of directional
signs. Lt. Col. Lacey V. Murrow,
whe has just returned from Eng
land where he acted as an official
observer for this Government on
transportation problem», informed
the Oregon State Motor Asaocia-
tion.
Every car owner in Great Britain
is rationed enoagh gaaoline to
run his car 150 miles per raenth.
The lim it of 150 miles per montb
has been established irregardleaa
of the mileage the car drives on a
gallon of gasoline.
Col. Murrow further reported
that no longer is gasoline sold by
•brands. The war situation has
made it necessary to combine ths
import, storage, and distribution
(facilities o f all the oil companies;
hence, the gasoline is • “uniformly
of medium quality, and is known
as ‘pool.’ ”
“Driving in Britain is qpite
difficult under war time conditions."
he said. “All directional signs
have been removed: even fhe names
of railroad stations, post offices,
an<t banks have been obliterated
or removed; and the home defense
regulations prohibit the giving of
directional information to strang
ers. It i» quite often iiSMsrarj to
go to the local police authorittss
and submit proper identifleetien
papers before any information ran
