PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 27. 1933. Wheat Control Favored Despite Price Advance With preliminary county wheat meetings completed throughout thet atate, the next move in putting the wheat adjustment program into effect in Oregon will be to district each county into definite commu nity units and build these into the permanent county wheat produc tion associations, according to of ficials of the state college extension service in charge of "Triple A" ed ucational work in this state. Each county agent, with the help of a temporary committee, will start this local organization work. Those who took part in the series of 29 educational meetings through' out the 22 leading wheat producing counties report keen and intelli gent interest on the part of those to whom wheat is a principal source of livelihood. Among those the sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of joining the wheat con- trol plan despite the sensational ad vance in wheat prices while the meetings were being held. Opinion prevails that present market booms, while highly bene ficial for growers having wheat to sell this year, gives little promise for the future unless some form of acreage control is put into effect The fact remains, according to those who have studied production and consumption statistics, that even the short crop this year, plus the abnormal carryover, will prob ably leave the United States with twice the normal carryover next July, and that given then normal wheat yields on the usual acreage, the surplus would mount to ruin ous proportions with consequent el feet on prices. The wheat plan, it is pointed out, permits the grower signing the con tract to reap all the benefits of present advanced prices on all wheat he has on hand or will har vest this year, while insuring him a fair "parity" price on the allotment portion of his crop in the next two years. In addition, it will provide cash benefit payments this year in return for agreement to limit acre age if called upon for 1934 and 1935. Meanwhile enough cotton grow ers through the south have signed up with the government so that 10, 000,000 acres of this year's crop will be destroyed so as to reduce pro duction by more than 3,000,000 bales. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has accepted the contracts and proclaimed the processing tax of 4.2 cents per pound on cotton effective August 1. ON OREGON FARMS Crested Wheat Grass Does Well The hot weather of early summer which injured the wheat quite bad ly apparently had little effect on the crested wheat grass, reports C. W. Smith, county agent, who re cently inspected the grass nurser ies of the county. This grass was still green and growing nicely, as, in fact, were all other varieties of grass in the nurseries except the slender fescue. The failure of the latter grass Smith believes to be due to poor seed. Sulphur Helps Alsike In Klamath Klamath Falls The application of sulphur to alsike clover in the Ft Klamath district will, without doubt, increase the yield of hay from two to three times, says County Agent A. C. Henderson, who has been carrying on trials in co operation with farmers for several years. One field in particular, which formerly yielded five or six loads of mixed alsike and grass hay, was treated witn 100 pounds of sulphur per acre in the spring of 1931, and in 1932 yielded 16 loads of hay of a much better quality. It is estimated it wil yield 13 or 14 loads this season. One load of ma nure mixed with sulphur was dis tributed on another field, and the alsike on the treated area reached a height of 22 to 24 inches, com pared to 5 or 6 inches on the re mainder of the field. Well Cared For Trees Hardier McMinnville Peach and other fruit and nut trees which had been well cared for and entered last win ter in good vigorous condition suf fered leas from the severe weather than those on poorer soil or those which had been wholly or partly neglected, observes S. T. White, county agent He has visited many prune, walnut and peach orchards recently and has found that while the trees came out nicely and ap peared to start well, certain parts of trees, branches, and occasionally whole trees, suddenly showed with ering or dying back of the foliage. Investigation showed them to be suffering from winter injury or lack of plant food. Bert Palmateer of Morgan was in the city Tuesday morning after extras for his caterpillar. He had cut 100 acres of his wheat crop, with an average so far of 15 bush els to the acre. College Students Reduce Cost of Year at O. S. C. Corvallis Drastically lower stu dent costs, some increase in assets and cash on hand, but more than usuaJ demands for extension of loans are shown in the annual re port of the student loan fund com mittee at Oregon State college, just submitted by Dr. M. W. Atwood to Chancellor W. J. Kerr. The average student budget for the year submitted by 105 appli cants for loans was only $469.15, or 34 per cent under the peak year of 1929-30, and nearly 20 per cent un dear a year ago. The lowest aver age record for the year was made by the non-sorority women at $391.50, though one non-fraternity man was living on a budget of $225.45. The average cost of a year in school for the fraternity men was $518.43, and for the sorority women, $514.29. Non-fraternity men averaged $413.67. Total loans or extensions granted during the year numbered 608, bringing the grand total since 1911 to 7517. The average size of the individual loans was $66.33. Near ly 12 per cent of the registered stu ents this last year received help from the fund. The percentage of loss for the past year was less than one per cent of the total amount loaned, wSth the record for the en tire history of the loan fund .52, or almost exactly one-half of one per cent loss. Additions to the loan fund have been slow since the ruling was made more than a year ago deny ing the fund the income from late registration fines. Gifts reported for the year are: from the senior class, $388.49; O. S. C. Chamber of Commerce assets, $600: gift of equity by discontinued fraternity, about $795.65. Chicken Canning Method Described by Miss Case When chickens are culled from the flock as they become unprofit able for laying purposes, the home maker can replenish her future meat supply at unusually low cost by canning the chicken meat by one of a number of excellent meth ods, says Lucy A. Case, extension nutrition specialist at Oregon State college. Killing the birds - at least six hours before canning, and avoid ance of soaking the meat in water while washing are two early pre cautions in chicken canning, says Miss Case. Water extracts meat juices and tends to make the meat stringy. Once bled, washed and drawn, the birds are cut into pieces as for boiling, with the flesh re moved from the breast. The re mainder of the canning process is described as follows, by Miss Casa: "Chicken may be canned raw, fried or roasted, but many home makers prefer the flavor when can ned raw, to be fried or roasted af ter taken from the jars. The use of flour or other starchy coating is not advised before canning. To pack raw chicken, first place a drumstick in a clean jar. Place the thigh next to the drumstick with the thicker part of the thigh next to the leaner part of the drumstick. Cut the tips from the wings, save for soup, and hook the elbows of the two wings together. Place next to the thigh. Place the neck por tion in the center of the jar with the rib end down. Next tuck por tions of the breast into the remain ing space. Pack some light meat and some dark meat into each jar. "The giblets are usually canned separately. Avoid too tight a pack. Add one level teaspoon of salt to each jar. Add no liquid. Remove any grease or other particles from the sealing surface of the jar and partially seal. A properly regulat ed pressure' cooker is the best equipment for canning chicken. Process pint jars at 15 pounds pres sure for 70 minutes. Seal jars im mediately and place two inches or more apart to cool. "When chicken or other non-acid home canned foods are taken from the jar, it is safest to boil or in some way heat through and through to the boiling point for 15 minutes before tasting, to prevent any possibility of food poisoning." ATTEND PICNIC. Mrs. John Anglin, wife of the local MacMarr store manager, did not bring home the bacon, but she did bring home a nice juicy ham which she won when she took first place in the ladies' spike driving contest at the annual picnic of the Safeway organization held Sunday at Langdon's lake, Tollgate, Ore. About 300 Safeway employees, their families and friends were present and had a big time together as onj big family. There was baseball, horseshoes, weight throwing, spike driving, rolling pin throwing, wa ter regatta and eats aplenty. Mr. Anglin also won a prize as the Oregon boys took the Washington boys to a cleaning in horseshoes but the Washington boys turned the tables at baseball. Attending from Heppner were Mr. and Mrs. John Anglin, Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Devin and son Glen, and Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Ferguson. The Gazette Times' Printing Ser vice is complete.

Jl&eh. ft. Ai'b )J m ' IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon of gas than any car we have made. The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why? By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going upstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps. Two things use up gas-bad engine design and useless car weight. Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power is wasted in moving excess weight. The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine is in the building of it. The extravagance is ours the economy is yours. The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their part If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy. As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent. As to price with quality, judge for yourself. As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of. shop in Oklahoma: On a run of 10.054 miles at the rate of 1.000 miles a day-the Ford V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles. That should answer a lot of questions. i 7 SI July 24th, 1933 A I, mm I aj ii ., , ," any-iLw -a t wi miuiijm."""1"" mini"""" 'yi-vKr"u; oaIVw, : A Fal Scheme Of course, you wouldn't buy the Empire State building if somebody offered it to you for $2.00.
