Stairway
On the world-wide stairway of
success, each individual stair is a
definite advancement toward one's
success. Some of us fail to reach
the top of the stairway, while oth
ers climb it easily. Those who get
but halfway are those always fail
ing in the job assigned them. They
let their likes and dislikes guide
them into narrow, inaccessible
channels in the corruptible river of
ignorance, inactivity, and poverty.
They shirk their duties, fail in
school, copy other s work, and do
anything rather than work for
themselves. They believe in hav
ing a good time while they can, not
knowing that that kind of good time
will cease as they grow older.
We have the privilege of lingering
on this stairway; but the longer we
linger, the harder it will be to con
tinue our upward progress. We
will be as a person who waits until
he contracts rheumatism before he
runs a race. Those who steadily
attain the knowledge of the world
jn completing and doing successful
ly the work that is assigned to them
will slowly but surely reach the top
of the famous stairway. We, who
do not want to linger on this stair
way, will better ourselves by putting
forth every effort toward complet
ing successfully our daily work;
then we will be sure of future suc
cess and greater means of late-life
subsistence.

CREDIT SET-UP COMPLETE.
Production Credit association set
up over the entire United States was
complete, according to word trom
Washington, D. C, when Governor
Wm. I. Myers of the Farm Credit
administration signed the charter
of the Rifle Production Credit as
sociation in northwestern Colorado
recently. There is now a nation
wide system of 658 production cred
it associations covering every coun
ty in the 48 states.
The completion of the final unit
of the system designed to provide
permanent facilities for short-term
agricultural financing takes place
just six months after the first of
these farmer-managed credit coop
eratives was organized in Illinois
last September.
Schocnfeld to be Head of
Big Portland Dairy Meet
Dairymen of the Pacific north
west are looking forward to the re
gional dairy conference in Portland
April 9 and 10 as probably the most
important in the recent history of
the industry. At that meeting, pro
ducers or others interested in the
dairy industry will have opportunity
to learn the details of the proposed
production control program and to
make suggestions or objections as
to its features.
William A. SchOenfeld, dean of
agriculture at Oregon State college,
has been named chairman of the
regional conference by Chester C.
Davis, administrator of the farm
act Dean Schoenfeld announces
that the meeting will be at the
Multnomah hotel starting at 10 o'
clock Monday morning. Delegations
will be present from Oregon, Wash
ington and northern Idaho.
Three or four specialists from
the AAA organization in Washing
ton will be present at the meeting,
possibly including Roger Morse, ex
tension dairyman for Oregon, who
was loaned to the Washington au
thorities to assist In working out
the program. A request that his
leave be extended another 90 days
or until the dairy program is active
ly in the field was recently granted
by the O. S. C. authorities.
The national dairy industry faces
a milk production which increased
by two billion pounds from 1930 to
1932; a cow population more than
26 million larger than it has ever
been before; an average price index
of 69 compared with 140 in 1928, and
total cash income just about half
the 1929 level. Means of alleviating
this condition will be the basis of
the discussion at the Portland meet
ing.
crop.
Trained specialists who have ex
amined the region found that the
soil was so dry near the surface as
to preclude adequate germination,
and that the deeper soil moisture la
too meager to make a crop if It did
come up.
Jefferson County to Use
Crop Insurance Feature
Jefferson county wheat farmers
will have opportunity to realize on
the crop insurance feature of their
wheat allotment contracts aa the
result of recent acceptance of that
county as an area where planting
of wheat this year would in many
instances be of no benefit. Drouth
over that area last fall made plant
ing impractical in most instances,
and this dry weather continued this
spring.
The wheat contracts obligate the
grower to plant at least 54 percent
of his- base acreage to qualify for
full benefit payments unless the
grower is located in an area recog
nized by the wheat administration
as unfit for planting by reason of
drouth, floods, storms or other "act
of God."
After careful inspection of con
ditions and on the plea of Jeffer
son county residents, Paul V. Mar
is, director of extension, recom
mended that Jefferson county be so
designated. Approval of the rec
ommendation has just been receiv
ed from Washington.
This does not mean that all grow
ers in the county as a whole will
automatically be relieved of the
necessity of making the 54 percent
planting. Each individual grower
must make application for exemp
tion through his allotment commit
tee, In case a grower's application
is approved by the committee and
at Washington, he will receive his
full benefit payments just as though
he had produced a crop.
It is pointed out that any grower
with reasonable chances for a crop
will probably make more by plant
ing, but the ruling does avoid the
waste of having seed thrown away
in meeting technical requirements
when there is no possibility of a
