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.

' 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.

Of course, you wouldn't buy the Empire State building

there was a catch in it some place it couldn't help but
be a fake scheme. And maybe you don't believe that
