HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1927. PAGE THREE Agricultural Program to be Better Balanced Ui S. Department of Agriculture. The 1927 agricultural program as indicated by reports from farmers appears to be in fairly good balance as among crops and livestock, al though weather conditions will be a decisive factor, says the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of United States Department of Agriculture, in its April 1 report on the agricultural situation. The production season is reported as fully two weeks early, with frost out of the ground and spring work coming into full swing over most of the country. Storms in the North have kept land from drying out in some localities but a good share of early grain is Bown and fields are be ing fitted for later crops. Early crops and general field work in the South are reported "markedly advanced, the Southwest, especially, presenting a very promising picture as to grain and forage crops. Fruit is unusually advanced almost every where, although there is still a con siderable frost hazard this month for fruits and tender truck crops." Reports from farmers show an in tention to shift acreage of crops rath er than to make any substantial change in total production. Read justment in the Cotton Belt, for ex ample, is indicated by a planned in crease of about 6,000,000 acres in feed and food crops. The North and West are planning about a 3,000,000 acre increase in their principal crops, which would little more than replace ucreage lost by drought in the Great Plains last year. "If conservatism is to be recom mended on any part of this intended program," says the bureau, "it should piobably apply at least to the cash crops, especially potatoes. The in tended potato acreage, with average yields, would produce some 410,000, 000 bushels, or near a record crop, which would be a sharp increase over the crops of the last two years. "The country is going into the new season without carrying burdensome stocks. March reports showed only about 14,000,000 bushels more pota toes stored than a year ago. There are around 380,000,000 bushels less of feed gruins on hind than last year. Even the carryover of cotton will be Much less than was thought probable a few months ago." The tendency to expand potato acreage is reported to be particularly marked in the Cotton Belt, in Michi gan and Minnesota, and in the West ern Stutes. Increases in Virginia and in the Cotton States except Flor ida and Texas seem to be mostly out side the commercial area3. There is a marked tendency to increase acre age in both the commercial and non commercial areas of the Western States, and it is in these States, says he report, that the marketing prob lem is most likely to be serious next fall, if present intentions are carried out and average yields are obtained. IRRIGON DELEGATION HERE. Some 15 citizens of the Irrigon project were in Heppner on Thursday last to appear before the public ser vice commission and present their plea for a railroad crossing leading to the ferry across the Columbia at that point. The O. W. R. & N. com pany was represented by Superinten dent Buckley and their attorney. The matter of a railraod crossing near the depot at Lexington was also taken up, and met with no particular resis tance by the railroad company, as this crossing is on the market road leading into Lexington and Clarks canyon. Commissioner Bean and the official stenographer of the public service commission were present to hear and take down the testimony presented. It seems to be the impres pion that Irrigon will get the cross ing asked for at that point. Dr. Clarke, of the Clarke Optical Oo., 304 Salmon St., Portland, Ore., EYE SIGHT SPECIALISTS, will be in Heppner all day and evening, Sun day, Apr. 24, at the Hotel Heppner. SEE HIM ABOUT YOUR EYES.

" 5 MONTANA CAR DEALER USES AIRPLANE Here are the up-to-date vehicle used by the enterprising Chevrolet deal er organization of Dillon, Mont., in selling cars in snow-bound territory and the men who use it: Left to .right J. A. Baxter, slices manager Montana Auto Supply Company; T. J. Casey, factory representative; Fred Woodside, president and manager of the dealer concern and president of the Montana Air Service; A. W. Stevenson, pilot and vice-president of the Montana Air Service. "It can be done!" That epigrammatic utterance has been used with frequency by automo tive executives, and has been applied in numerous and various situations. However, it is doubtful if the sen tence has been regarded commonly as more than an abstraction, used mere ly to express the limit of human de termination. To the Montana Auto Supply Com pany, the Chevrolet dealer of Dillon, Mont., the four words have a definite and concrete meaning. In a country which in winter is marked by snow drifted roads and flooded or ice-covered areas the members of this sales organization make use of a form of transportation enabling them not only to keep in personal touch with their prospective customers but to sell cars for future delivery when seasonal conditions permit. The spirit with which they go about the conduct of their business doubtless will exert a strong influence in causing other deal ers in the Pacific Northwest to tackle their several problems more vigor ously. The Dillon dealer company has in vested in an airplane, christened "Miss Dillon." When road conditions will not allow a Chevrolet to be driv WHAT A REXALL ONE CENT SALE IS It is a sale where you buy an item at the regular price, then another item of the same kind for one cent. As an illustration: The standard price of Klenzo Denial Creme is 50c, you buy a tube at this price and by paying 1 cent more, or 51 cents, you get two tubes. Every article in this sale is a high class stand ard piece of merchandice, just the same as is sold every day at the regular price. This sale was developed by the Vnited Drug Company as an advertising plan. Rather than spend large sume of money in other ways to convince you of the merit of these goods, they are spending it on this sale in permitting us to sell you a full size package of high standard merchandise for 1 cent. It costs money to get new customers, but the sacrifice in profit is Jus tified, knowing the goods will please you. I.

Recently Fred Woodside, president and manager of the company, and J. A. Baxter, its sales manager, litw to Sheridan, called on a prospect, and withjn three hours were back in Dil lon with a signed order for a new Chevrolet.

Through the drift-piled streets of Boston groups of men and women made their way to the public telephone stations, anxiously inquiring whether the long distance lines to New York were still in service. "People did not want a message, they wanted to talk," runs a contemporary story "They wanted to find out where the other party was, if he was alive, indeed. It was the voice returned, the personal Interview, that was especially valuable." A telephone conversation is the meeting of mind with mind, heart with heart. Today there are no limits of distance to the inter change of thought that binds all parts of the country together. Created in response to America's needs, a network of 50,000,000 miles of wire has given nation-wide scope to the "voice returned."
