New AAA Program
Ready for Work
With final approval of rates for
Oregon's soil building practices and
other details of the 1937 agricultural
conservation program, preliminary
organization work is moving ahead
rapidly for getting the plan into the
hands of growers at the earliest pos
sible date, according to F. L. Ballard,
in charge of the extension service at
Oregon State college. If present
plans are carried through, actual
work of collecting new work sheets
in the counties will begin early in
February, officials believe.
C. C. Conser, assistant to George E.
Farrell, director of the western di
vision, arrived in Oregon soon after
the approval of the program to con
fer with state committeemen and
members of the technical committee
and the extension service staff at
Corvallis on interpretation and appli
cation of new features of this year's'
program. Before doing this, how
ever, he was taken on a tour of in
spection of recently reseeded burnt
over lands in southwestern Oregon,
so he would have first hand infor
mation on what is expected to be an
important factor of the new soil con
servation work in this state.
As soon as the state conference
was completed, representatives of the
state committee and the extension
service embarked on a series of six
regional meetings at Portland, Cor
vallis, Redmond, Arlington and Ba
ker for county agents and county
committeemen. After attending these,
the county leaders of the program
will be in a position to start the ac
tual work with growers. ,
Work sheets are to be obtained this
year for every farm in the county,
regardless of whether cooperation
with the program is contemplated.
- After the work sheets are in, soil de
pleting and soil conserving bases
and a productivity index will be
worked out for each farm. From
these the local committeemen will
be able to work out a tentative out
line of possible returns from parti
cipation, and from this each individ
ual farmer will be able to determine
whether or not he wishes to coop
erate under the program.
The Oregon dockets reveal that
the program this year puts consid
erably more emphasis on soil build
ing practices, with a larger portion
of the payments allocated to this
type of work, as compared with last
year when it was a minor consider
ation compared with the diversion
program. More Oregon farmers will
be able to profit by the cooperation
this year than formerly, extension
officials believe.
Henry Smouse was a business vis
itor in the city Monday from the
farm north of lone.

Bruce Barton is author of the fol

cannot be over-stated. If the church
did nothing else but conduct this
great character-forming school its
existence would be fully justified.
Secular schools and colleges take
pride in their famous alumni. What
a list of alumni the Sunday-school
has! It includes almost every leader
in our national life."

Argentine Wheat
Depresses Market
Wheat shipments from Argentine
are
rapidly undermining world
prices. Top grades of milling wheat
which one reached $1.37 are now
around $1.14 and local Oregon wheat
which once climbed to $1.19 is now
around $1.09.
Potato prices continue at new lev
els with the demand strong and
brokers taking on large stocks in
anticipation of an even higher mar
ket. First grade Deschutes Russets
have been moving at $2.90 and $3.00
wholesale. Klamath county firsts
have been at approximately the
same levels.
Cold weather has slowed egg de
liveries with the Portland market
still strong and practically no sup
plies in storage. Repofts show Ore
gon shipped 28 .carloads of eggs in
December mostly to New York City
and that shipments for the first 11
months of 1936 were 303 cars com
pared with 250 cars in the same per
iod one year earlier.
Woodburn will have a light lo
ganberry crop this coming year, pre
diets Harold K. Sargent who has just
made a survey of the condition of
the vines. The Woodburn logan
berry pool is usually the largest in
the state.
AGAIN IT SNOWED.
Heppner folk eyed the southern
horizon all day Monday wondering
whether its darkened hue would
bring the chinook. The mercury
hovered just above the freezing
point, and wind during the day
softened the snow. In the evening
the wind reached proportions of a
gale. Many went to sleep believing
the chinook had surely come. But
in the night came calm, and on the
morn, behold! Another four inches
of the beautiful, wet, fluffy snow. It
all fell between 1 and 4 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
GIVEN BABY SHOWER.
A baby shower was tendered Mrs.
Cornet Green at her home in south
Heppner Friday afternoon by a
group of neighbors and friends.
Sponsors were Mrs. Earl Eskelson,
Mrs. Al Macomber and Mrs. N. D.
Bailey. Guests included Mrs. J. O.
Hager, Mrs. Alex Green, Mrs. Earl
Knepper, Mrs. Grace Hughes, Mrs.
J. V. Crawford, Mrs. Homer Hayes,
Mrs. R. C. Phelps, Mrs. William
French, Miss Jessie French. Gifts
were sent by others unable to attend.
Refreshments were served.
Mrs. Willa Carsner of
Spray Passes at Fossil
Mrs. Willa Carsner, widow of the
late Senator R. J. Carsner, was call
ed by death Saturday (Jan. 26) at
Fossil. Funeral rites were held in
Spray Monday.
Mrs. Carsner s health had been
failing for a number of years. Friday
she was stricken with a heart at
tack while at her ranch home near
Spray. She was taken to Fossil by
ambulance that day.
Mrs. Carsner was the daughter of
James A. and Sarah Magone Hughes.
She was married to Robert J. Cars
ner in 1908. Mr. Carsner, who served
the state as representative from the
28th district from 1920 to 1924 and
was elected senator from the 18th
district in 1924 and again in 1928;
preceded his wife in death in 1933.
At the time of his death he was reg
ister of The Dalles U. S. Land office.
Interment was in the Haystack
cemeterey at Spray beside her hus
band and parents.
A son, James, of Spray survives.
Another son, Joe, was killed in an
auto accident in August, 1935, a few
miles south of Condon. Condon

Mrs. Carsner was a sister of the
late Sam Hughes of this city.
Airmail on Increase,
Postmaster Reports
The greatest air mail year in its
history was recorded by Oregon in
1936 when its citizens sent 229,329
pounds of correspondence over the
airways, it was reported today in
official figures released by Post
master Chas. B. Cox.
The record-breaking total repre
sented a gain of 13,323 pounds, or
more than six per cent, over Ore
gon's 1935 air mail volume. Of the
total, 197,470 pounds were dispatched
from Portland, 10,532 pounds from
Pendleton and 21,327 pounds from
Medford, as the three points in Ore
gon at which air mail planes stop.
Still further gains in the speed of
air mail service, plus added sched
ules and a continued growth of the
nation's vast airway network are
expected to contributet to even larg
er air mail loads in 1937, Postmaster
Cox said.
PUSHING USED CARS.
Aiming to put into the hands of
new owners, sound, dependable used
cars and trucks, the Blackburn Mo
tor Co., local Ford dealers, are par
ticipating beginning this week in the
first state-wide "winter clearance"
of used cars sponsored by Ford deal
ers, according to Walter Blackburn,
manager.
