Mr. Smith further said that it is
well agreed among growers that the
four-year base for computing al

years 1929, 1930, 1931 and 1932.
It was expected that the first

about September 15. Should Mor
row county farmers sign up 100 per
cent, $294,000 would come Into the
county this fall and next spring
from this source.
LIKED BALL GAME.
To the Editor:
The baseball game between Camp
Bull Prairie and Heppner was In
deed a game worth commendable
mention. It was snappy and class
leal and retained its thrill through
out. The remarkable feature was
the rapidity of plays, exchanging
of field, and at no time was a de
clslon disputed. For all around
sportsmanship my hat is off to
Heppner and its ball team, and con
gratulations to Bull Prairie on their
win. They beat a real ball team.

BULL PRAIRIE WINS
OVER HEPPNER, 3-2
Camp Boys Tie Score in Sixth;
Robertson and Turner Wage
Pitching Battle.
(By Bull Prairie Correspondent)
Before the largest crowd ever to
visit Bull Prairie, the C. C. C. boys
managed to earn a hard-fought vic
tory over the strong Heppner team
last Sunday afternoon. The game
proved to be a thriller from start to
finish. For six innings both Tur
ner and Robertson, pitchers for the
opposing teams, managed to hold
the batters in check.
In the last half of the sixth inn
ing, with the Heppner team lead
ing by one run, Bull Prairie team
staged a rally and succeeded in ty
ing the score. Davidson, who play
ed a bang-up game as catcher,
started the Inning by smashing out
his second hit. Robertson placed a
neat bunt down the third base line,
sending Davidson to second. Dunne,
substitute first baseman, cracked a
ball to the shortstop, who succeed
ed in getting it over to first to re
tire the batter. Davidson started
off with the hit like a flash, and
with a sensational burst of speed,
beat the first baseman's throw to
the catcher.
Robertson retired the first three
batters to face him in the first half
of the seventh inning. In their
half of the same inning, Bull Prai
rie scored a brace of runs. Mike
Devito, who had doubled in the
third inning, once more led off with
a clean bingle. Turner tightened
up and struck out the next batter.
Barracato, the next batter, then
laced a double down the left-field
line, scoring Devito. With two out,
Paul Pattl, who handled ten
chances and made only one misplay
during the game, faced the pitcher.
Up to that time he had failed to
touch any of Turner's tricky de
liveries. With "Barry" on second, Patti
hit sharply down the third base line
and sent Barry to third. Then Bull
Prairie showed a bit of clever base
ball. Pattl became trapped be
tween first and second, and while
he kept the Heppner team occupied

Seed Loan Payment Plan
Announced by P a u 1 s o n
Borrowers from the Government
Seed Loan office, who are without
funds or other moans of credit,
may use the proceeds of a portion
of their 1933 crop to defray actual
harvest and threshing expenses
providing an equal amount is ap
plied on the government loan, ac
cording to a statement Issued this
week b y L. J. Paulson, regional
manager of the Crop Production
Loan office at Minneapolis, Minn.
Without requiring the filing of
liens the government has author
ized buyers to permit harvesting
and threshing allowances in
amounts not to exceed a total of $2
per acre upon presentation of re
ceipted statements for such expen
ditures, providing remittances are
made on a parity. When other lien
holders are involved, their rights
must be given the consideration
their secured position requires.
The plan will work as follows:
Where a farmer is otherwise un
able to pay harvesting expenses of,
for example, $50.00, he must mar
ket $100.00 worth of grain. In this
case the buyer would be authorized
to allow necessary expenses up to
$50.00 and to remit the other $50.00
to the Government Seed Loan of
fice toward the payment of the
government loan.
It is anticipated by Mr. Paulson
that all grain buyers will follow
the procedure adopted by the buy
ers last year in making a check for
the harvesting and threshing ex
penses directly to those who fur
nished the harvesting and thresh
ing equipment, supplies, or labor,
thus insuring payment of the bill
for the protection of the buyer.
The crop buyer will hold the re
ceipts or statements of harvesting
and threshing expense for verifica
tion by government field inspectors,
and must show that a remittance
to the seed loan office was made
in an amount equal to that allowed
for expense.

FARM RELIEF SEEN
Water Transportation Facilities to
Lower Freight Rates, Stimulate
. Industries, Believed.
That the Columbia river should
be developed first for the purpose
of transportation to relieve farmers
of the Inland Empire from the bur
den of heavy freight rates was the
sense of a meeting of representa
tives from 16 counties bordering the
upper Columbia at Walla Walla on
Friday evening, according to the
report given the Heppner Lions
club Monday by S. E. Notson, a
vice president of the Umatilla Rap
ids association which helped spon
sor the meeting.
It was the attempt of the Walla
Walla meeting to unite the 16 coun
ties vitally affected in a fight for
development of the upper river,
Evolved from the meeting was a
tentative organization to be known
as the Tri-State Development lea
gue, through which will be coordin
ated the efforts of numerus local
development associations including
the Umatilla Rapids association.
To frame constitution and by
laws, two men from each of the
three states were named, with Lee
Manz of Walla Walla . to act as
chairman. Named were Mr. Manz
and D. M. Hurley for Washington,
R. S. Erb and W. A. Mitchell of
Lewiston for Idaho, and Frank
Sloan, Stanfleld, and Roy Ritner,
Pendleton, for Oregon. E. P. Dodd
of Hermiston was named executive
secretary. This committee was
slated to meet at Walla Walla
again Monday to proceed with its
work.
Finances will be raised through
popular membership subscriptions
at $1 each, it being hoped to secure
2000 memberships from the terri
tory affected to obtain money for
carrying on the campaign.
Speakers at the meeting includ
ed Mr. Ritner who told of the ef
fect of river development on rail
road freight rates, declaring among
other things that building of the
Cascade locks and Celilo canal had
more than paid for themselves by
the reduction received in freight
rates at the time of their comple
tion though they have actually been
little used.
Captain R. A. Ward of Lewiston,
president of the Inland Waterways
association, explained the plan of
development of the Snake river for
navigation which includes trfc
building of six dams at a cost of
$14,000,000, and stressed mainly the
effect such development would have
in stimulating the lumbering in
dustry of the Inland Empire.
G. A. Hartman, president of the
Umatilla Rapids association, told
of the fight that had been made by
his association to date to gain rec
ognition for the upper river.
Mr. Hurley and Mr. O'Brien of
Pasco did not wish development of
the Five Mile rapids to be lost sight
of, while Mr. Hurley in particular
believed that pushing of individual
pet projects should be left In the
background with stress placed on
making the river navigable, leav
ing the detail work to the engin
eers. To give the Lions an insight into
what the new agricultural adjust
ment act hopes to accomplish lo
cally, Chas. W. Smith, county ag
ent, gave a short resume of steps
taken to date to set up the machin
ery for acreage adjustment and
fixing of allotments, which if back
ed 100 per cent by the farmers of
the county will bring nearly $300,
000 of income into the county this
fall and next spring.

who rents from different landlords
make a contract to cover one of the
farms and not another? Yes. He
must, however, agree that he will
not increase his wheat acreage on
one farm to offset the reduction on
another. This applies also to the
owner of two farms.
Second question: The answer to
the first covers the second question.
Question number three: In the
case of a farm sold on crop pay
ment in which the seller receives a
share of the crop each year to ap
ply on the purchase price, how
should the contract be made? You
should follow the rule, that where
ever there is a division of owner
ship in the crop, all parties should
sign the contract Payments In
this case would go to the parties
in the same proportion in which
they take a portion of the crop.
The payment made to the seller,
however, must be applied on the
purchase price, it cannot be regard
ed as a personal bonus.
Question number four: Is the
mortgagee a party to the contract?
No.
Question number five relates to
the feeding of wheat for hay. This
is a question which arises in a num
ber of localities this fall, where be
cause of the crop failure it will be
necessary for fanners to seed some
crop to produce hay for the coming
winter, ir not hay, then for pasture.
I think we can arrange to permit
the planting of wheat for hay or
pasture with the proviso that def
inite reports must be made on the
wheat so seeded, reports and in
spection of the utilization of these
tracts, so that they need not be
considered as seeded wheat. If this
matter can be worked out so as not
to leave a loophole for violation of
the purpose of the Act we certain
ly wish to do so.
Number six: Can a man who
buys a piece of land without an
allotment after having made con
tract on the land he already had,
secure an allotment on the addi
tional land? Probably not since it
is likely that there will be a closing
date for making contracts. How
ever, he can maintain the previous
production on the land he buvs
without losing the right to payment
on the land he owned in the begin
ning.
Number seven: Should wheat
harvested for hay and fed to horses
be counted in as grain produced
and an allotment given and pay
ment made on it? This question
runs counter to your number five.
You are asking for the right to
piani wneac lor hay or pasture
without violating the agreement to
reduce, it would hardly be possi
ble to count hay harvested from
the wheat seeded as grain in the
one case and then permit the seed
ing or wheat for hay or pasture and
exempt it from acreage reduction.
iNumoer eight is your bie Ques
tion. Will a man keep on receiving
payment after partly is reached?
The 1933 payments will be made In
any case, however. If parity is
reacnea no processing tax can be
levied consequently no payment can
be made. The only obligation upon
the contract maker will then be
that he will not increase his wheat
acreage over his acreage for the
base period and that in case of an,
international agreement for the re
duction of acreage the minimum
reduction that he shall make will be
me reduction specified In the in
ternational agreement The Ques
tion is, of course, an Interesting
one, but you and I knbw that we
neeu not seriously concern our.
selves with the eventuality. If
price reaches parity you and I know
mat me production will increase
to a point where we will again
build up a surplus and the price
will go down to the old world level.
