Oregon Wheat Growers
Get More AAA Benefits
An Increase of four cenU a bushel
on wheat allotment benefit pay
ments for the 1935 crop has been
announced by the Agricultural Ad
lustment administration, although
the processing tax on wheat has
been continued at the former figure
of 30 cents a bushel.
The additional adjustment pay
ments to farmers are made possi
ble through reserves accumulated
from the tax on wheat production
by farmers not under allotment
contracts, according to an explana
tion received by the Oregon State
collece extension service. The in
creased payment will not result in
any deficit in the wheat budget
since available funds are ample to
cover the increase, the Washington
announcement stated.
Tho increase in payments will
mean more than $370,000 additional
tn cooneratine growers in Oregon.
The entire benefit payment for 1935
for Oregon growers will amount
tn nnnroximatelv $3,082,000 it is
estimated.
Compliance forms for Oregon are
being filled out rapidly and are be-ine-
forwarded to Washington as
soon as completed. Work of aud
itine the compliance reports started
the second week in July, according
to Washington officials, and will be
followed shortly by actual dis
bursement of checks covering the
final payment for 1934 and the first
payment for 1935.
The first 1935 payment will again
be 20 cents a bushel on the allot
ments, while the final payment, un
der the present three-year contract,
will be at least 13 cents a bushel,
less the necessary reduction for
local cost. Oregon extension men
say the deduction this year will be
somewhat less than last, when the
average for the state was 1.3 cents
a bushel on allotments-
The change in benefit payments
for 1935 has nothing whatever to
do with the pending new contracts,
to be available sometime this sum
mer, the Washington officials em
phasize. Farmers from many parts
of the country, who were in con
ference with the AAA officials re
cently, made a number of sugges
tions for inclusion in these new
contract.
It is possible that arrangements
will be made in the new program
for making the entire year's pay
ment at one time. However, a pro
posal was tentatively approved to
retain a second payment and make
it somewhat flexible in amount, ac
cording to changes in the market
price of wheat during the crop
year. The growers also strongly
advocated giving county commit'
tees more discretion in making lo
cal adjustments as to base acreage
and other details.

Rise in Cow Prices to
Boost Heifer Growing
With the price of dairy cows rap
idly returning to a more profitable
basis, interest in raising heifers is
increasing throughout the state.
It is estimated that because of the
tuberculosis eradication campaign
in California, as many as 150,000
head of dairy cows and heifers will
be needed there for replacement in
the next couple of years.
Practically all Oregon dairymen
raise some heifers, but their costs
for raising them and the returns
from them vary widely, a study
made by the Oregon Experiment
station shows. The average dairy
man, as a matter of fact, shows a
higher cost of production of heif
ers than the market price of cows,
the detailed survey reveals, al
though only about half of such total
costs are in cash outlay.
"The largest item of expense in
raising heifers is, of course, feed
costs, but a very heavy expense be
yond that comes from death and
culling losses," says H. E. Selby,
farm management specialist at O.
S. C, who was in charge of the
detailed study. "On 216 farms that
had no death or culling loss, the
average cost of raising heifers to
freshening was nearly 50 per cent
less than on 98 farms which had a
death and culling loss of 25 per cent
or more.
"A certain amount of culling ii
necessary, but it Is being greatly
reduced by many dairymen who do
careful culling of the calves before
starting to raise them and then who
use careful methods so as to re
duce death loss to a minimum.
"It costs very little more to raise
a good heifer than a poor one," Mr,
Selby continued. "The slight extra
cost of raising good heifers comes
chiefly from a higher birth value,
while the returns from raising good
heifers are far ahead of ordinary
ones."
In this connection Selby points
out that a good bull is a good in
vestment from the standpoint of
the value of the calves alone. The
birth value of calves from bulls
worth $200 or more was just four
times the value where bulls worth
$100 or less were used.
A supply of skimmed milk is of
Importance in reducing the cost of
raising heifers, the survey showed
as whole milk is the most costly
part of the feed. Good pasture is
also an important factor in reduc
ing the cost of production. Station

ths study, with many other sug.

a shovel not less than 36 inches
long with a blade not less than 8
Inches wide; an axe not less than
2 pounds in weight or with a handle
less than 26 inches long; ana
bucket of at least a gallon capacity.
It is pointed out that these items
are generally part of a normal mo
tor or pack outfit for the woods but
that campers should see that they
are not omittted from the list.
Under stricter closure provisions
special fire hazard areas within the
national forests are closed to entry
except with permit issued by the
local forest officer. Such permit,
however, is not required of any ac
tual settler going to or from his
home. Such districts of special fire
hazard include dense snag areas,
windfalls, and similar danger areas
within the Columbia and Mount
Baker national forests in Washing
ton; and the Mount Hood and Wil
lamette national forests in Oregon.
By state proclamation similar
closure regulations have been made
effective for special fire hazard
areas within and adjacent to the
Mount Hood national forest (Ore
gon) on the South Fork of the
Clackamas and Mud Creek districts;
within the Willamette National
forest (Oregon) on the North San-
tiam, Seven Mile Hill, North Fork
of the Willamette, Portland Creek
Burn, and South Fork of the Mc
Kenzie districts; and within and
adjacent to the Columbia national
forest, Washington, on the old burn
west and north of Skamania coun
ty. Full cooperation from the public
is asked by the U. S. forest service
for the summer fire prevention
campaign. "From 60 to 70 per cent
of our forest fires are man caused,"
said C. J. Buck. "They are mainly
caused by careless smokers and
campers. This carelessness is not
intentional, but it is nevertheless
exacting a tremendous toll each
year from Oregon and Washington.
It is destroying merchantable tim
ber, despoiling fish and game areas,
and marring the scenic beauty that
attracts visitors to our western
states. It is robbing the citizens
of this region of their birthright
It is devastating hundreds of thous
ands of acres of logged off lands

Extensive plans are now under
way in the Portland recruiting dis
trict to meet this problem, accord
ing to word received from Major
H. D. Bagnall. the army recruiting
officer in Portland. The Portland
office presents a busy scene these
days and as part of the expansion
program, two additional recruiting
sub-stations were recently estab
lished; one at Medford and the oth
er at Pendleton. The recruiting
personnel of the district has been
increased by two officers and seven
non-commissioned officers in anti
cipation of a busy campaign. Plans
are also being completed to send
two recruiting parties, each party
consisting of one officer and two
non - commissioned officers, on
state-wide canvassing tours. Ap
proximately four months will be
spent in covering all of the towns
of five hundred population and
over, in the states of Oregon and
southern Washington. It is planned
to publish itineraries of these par
ties as they get under way and to
post advance notices of their ar
rival In each town.
Numerous vacancies exist in army
branches at the present time, in
cluding assignments to the 7th In
fantry at Vancouver Barracks
Washington, 3rd Coast Artillery,
Fort Stevens, Oregon, and the
Chemical Warfare Service and
Coast Artillery in the Philippine
Islands. Vacancies for infantry,
China, and 7th Infantry, Chilkoot

former service men. Inquiries re
garding enlistments should be ad

Governor's Recall
Grant for Capitol
22 Millions for Relief
By A. L. LLNDBECK
Salem. The anti-administration
group having failed to get into
court in their effort to oust Govern
or Martin from office through quo
warranto proceedings it is assumed
that the long rumored recall will
now materialize in a campaign to
secure enough signatures to force
an election on the issue.
The governor's first six months
of service, during which he was
not subject to recall, expired Sun
day but to date no one has appeared
in the open as sponsor of the pro
posed recall in spite of the insist
ence of members of the anti-administration
group that the ma
chinery was all set to go.
Speculation points to Senator
Burke of Yamhill county as the
probable "front" for the recall move
with Yamhill, Marion, Clackamas
and Multnomah counties as the hot
beds of recall sentiment. Reports
from southern, central and eastern
Oregon and the Coast counties in
dicates little interest in the pro
posal to recall the governor in those
sections.
Solon T. White, agriculture di
rector for onOeang ETAOINETA
rector for Oregon, and Walter J.
Robinson, agriculture director for
Washington, this week refused to
approve a budget for $77,000 for the
melon-tomato control board and
ordered the budget reduced to not
to exceed $40,000. The proposed
budget Included $40,050 for salaries
and wages and $21,500 for traveling
expenses.
Members of Governor Martin's
state planning board are now con
centrating their efforts largely on
the gathering of data to support
an application for a federal grant
toward financing the new capitol.
This, it is generally admitted, is
the new move in the capitol con
struction program.
State Treasurer Holman's pay-as-you-go
plan for financing the
new state house was presented to
the board of control this week and
received immediate approval al
though consideration of a bond is
sue has not been altogether aban
doned yet.
At a conference here Friday at
tended by the governor and several
members of the planning board it
was virtually agreed that the uBsh
pasture site is now out of the pic
ture. This narrows the choice of
additional ground for state house
purposes down to the Willamette
university 'campus and two blocks
of residential property on Court
street just north of the state prop
erty. Willamette university trus
tees are understood to favor sale
of the school property to the state
but state officials are frankly
doubtful as to the ability to pay
a price which will enable the school
to build on a larger and more suit
able location.
With architects busy sketching
tentative designs, engineers mak
ing a study of the needs of the
state as to space in the new build
ing, financial experts busily figur

you-go and bond plans and Secre

gon commission are to appear be
fore Governor Martin here Satur
day in an effort to justify their ex
penditures. Budget Director Hood
has called the governor's attention
to what he considers excessive ex
penditures by the commission,
which threatens to exhaust the bi
ennial appropriation of $7500 be
fore the end of the current year.
This is the first time the governor
has found occasion to invoke the
new authority conferred upon him
by the budgetary control act of
1935.
A total of $2,432,513.45 has been
distributed among the counties of
the state to date for relief of needy
unemployed out of the $5,500,000
authorized by the legislature to be
diverted to this cause from profits
of the state liquor system, accord
ing to figures compiled by Secre
tary of State Snell. Profits of the
liquor commission which have been
turned over to the relief fund total
$1,404,772.27 and there are $1,050,000
in certificates of indebtedness out
standing against future profits of
the commission. Largest partici
pant in the distribution of relief
funds has been Multnomah county
whose share to date has amounted
to $862,642.10 or nearly one-third
of the total. Marion county with
$154,392 was next largest partici
pant and Lane county third with
$138,969. Funds allocated to other
counties include: Benton, $42,227.99;

Lumber Strike Depresses
Portland's June Business
Business activity in the Portland
area which slowed down in May as
a result of the lumber strike was
somewhat further curtailed last
month, according to the July issue
of Commonwealth, Inc. Business
Survey. Lumber production was
off 19 per cent and outbound harbor
tonnage dropped 24 per cent when
mill stocks became broken and
lumber orders were diverted to
other producing regions. Building
was off two per cent and electric
power production dropped slightly
more than seasonally.
The result was that the Common
wealth index of Portland business
fell to 56.79 for June, against 59.36
for May despite the fact that bank
debits made a three per cent gain
over May. Retail trade was re
ported as being slower than during
May though it showed a lead of
about 12 per cent over June of last
year. The retail outlook, it was
thought, has a healthy tone for fall
as indicated by the fact that whole
sale trade is getting underway in
satisfactory volume.
The business outlook, according
to David Eccles, editor of Business
Survey, is that business will con
tinue to be relatively slow during
the next two months and that fall
will bring an upturn which should
continue to the end of tne year.
The most depressing factor at this
time, Eccles thinks, is the current
legislative program which has a
depressing influence on business.
Adjournment of Congress would
clarify the outlook to a consider
able degree.
The feature of the July Business
Survey is a study of western Ore
gon and Washington forests and
the Instability of land ownership in
those forests. A study of nine
western Oregon timber counties re
vealed that 45 per cent of the pri
vate land in these counties was de
linquent for 1930 or prior taxes or
had been foreclosed by the counties
for tax delinquency.
