29 FUTURE FARMERS
$3175 IN PRODUCTS,
With the opening of school this
fall, approximately $3175 worth of
projects carried on by 29 boys en
rolled in Smith-Hughes vocational
agriculture in Heppner high school
last school year will have been
raised and sold. Each student en
rolled in the course was required to
have some kind of project.
The projects carried on by the
boys, most of which were purchased
during the school year, were as fol
lows: 675 baby chicks, 500 turkeys,
60 laying hens, 17 feeder pigs, 16
head of ewes and lambs, 1 cow and
2 calves; V-k acres of potatoes; 3-4
acre of wheat, and 3-4 acre of field
peas.
In addition to their class work, the
boys will be carrying on their pro
jects during the summer months and
will complete their record books as
soon as their projects are harvested
or sold.
"For the first year of this type of
work in Heppner, the projects have

A Clean Sweep.
FEDERAL old-age pensions, and
federal and state unemployment
insurance laws were upheld by the
United States supreme court in de
cisions handed down this week. That
makes a clean sweep of New Deal
victories on all decisions handed
down by the court since Roosevelt's
reinauguration.
Co -incident with the decisions,
President Roosevelt rushed to con
gress new laws asking for maximum
40-hour week and minimum 40 cents
an hour wage standards, prevention
of child-labor-made goods in inter
state commerce, and ban on ship
ments of produce of concerns which
use labor spies or strikebreakers or
deny collective bargaining rights.
The new acts are taken to include
the president's intentions toward in
dustry as first included in outlawed
NRA.
In light of happenings this week,
the president's plan to reorganize the
supreme court appears to have been
more a leverage tool than anything
else. Time will be the judge.

been very good, but with the in
crease in enrollment that is expect
ed this fall and the interest that has
been displayed the past year, the
volume of the projects should be
doubled many times this next year,"

John D. Rockefeller.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER died
this week, aged 97. America's
first millionaire, his name is proba
bly the widest known of any man in
the country. There is little need
to tell anyone that he was the cen
tral figure in the development of the
country's large oil industry.
Often condemned as one of that
class of "industrial royalists" ac
cused of ruthless and high-handed
manipulation of laws and labor to
suit their own ends, John D. Rocke
feller will probably be attributed a
high place in histories of the future
as a large contributor to the coun
try's growth and progress.
For the Rockefeller fortune has
been used to build in contradistinc
tion to other large fortunes which
were used rapaciously. Long after
the mold of the senior Rockefeller
shall have disintegrated into the
jdust from whence it came, the
Rockefeller Foundation and New
"York's Radio City not to mention
many other humanitarian bequests
will live to promote mankind's prog
Jess. Though laborers may have worked
long hours at low wages; though
other industries may have felt the
iron Rockefeller heel to gain the ad
vantage which made accumulation
of the Rockefeller fortune possible,
the sacrifices may be termed as he
roic when fruits of those sacrifices
are considered.
Not only in America but in far
lands, the Rockefeller Foundation
Jias relieved filth and squalor. The
greatest scientific research organiza
tion of all time, divorced from pol
itics and prejudice, the foundation
has already shed and is continuing
to shed light into many scientific
fields. One of its outstanding con
tributions has been that in the study
of cancer, and if its continuing work
in this field alone should result in
relieving the human race of this
most dreaded of plagues, then will
those who sacrificed at the Rocke
feller altar have been rewarded far
greater than they would have been
by the possession of earthly riches.
John D. Rockefeller is reported
to have left a modest, very liquid
personal estate. His heritage is
mostly shared by all. That tribute
cannot be ignored, whatever his
business tactics may have been. He
was monarchical in his business at
tributes. But he was a ruler of fru
gal and simple personal habits. In
stead of using his rigidly exacted
profits for personal glorification, he
applied them to human benefit. In
that he was a humanitarian ruler;
and, in that too, he earned a glori
fication much greater than any his
profits could have purchased.
An axiom of political science says
a monarchial form of government is
the simplest and best for all the peo
ple, provided assurance of a benev
olent monarch can be given. But,
too often, an individual entrusted
with the power to rule is not benev
olent. John D. Rockefeller may have
caused suffering on one hand while
relieving it on the other. In that he
was an anomaly. But the living
evidence of his benevolences may, in
the ultimate, outweigh all other considerations.
State AAA Payments
To Exceed $1,500,000
With payments to farmers under
the 1936 agricultural conservation
program nearing completion, the
Oregon branch of the federal dis
bursing office has just paid out $1,
482,769.54 on 12,045 applications, ac
cording to a summary financial re
port just made by N. C. Donaldson,
secretary of the state AAA com-'
mittee and Lewis C. Van Winkle,
state accountant.
Not more than 1500 applications
still remain to be approved and
paid, aside from approximately 1350
payments for carrying out range
practices, none of which had yet
been cleared when the report was
made, although payments on them
will start at once.
Douglas is the only county in the
state to which no checks had been
mailed, the report shows, as the first
batch of applications was received
from there in May. Most of the re
mainder of the unpaid applications
are from Malheur.
In this semi-final summary Uma
tilla county is shown to have re
ceived $221,724.07. or nearly twice
the $113,264.49 that went to Union,
the second highest county. Linn is
third with $111,657.80. Other high
counties are Morrow with $97,982.71;
Baker, $87,131.49; Marion, $81,288.71;
Polk $68,557.75; Gilliam, $67,815.50.
On the basis of number of appli
cations paid, the counties rank fomt
what differently. Marion heads this
list with 932, followed by Umatilla
with 850; Linn 811, Clackamas 771,
Lane 739, Washington 667 and Yam
hill 617. Fewest applications were
received from Harney county, with
only 10, who were paid $513.30. A
day's preliminaries, while the relay
team with Van Marter and Cox add
ed, were barely nosed out of placing
for the finals by two teams that
placed second and third in the finals.
King just missed placing in the jump,
dropping into sixth place by a bare
half inch, and Gilman came within
10 inches of placing in the javelin
throw. The first five leaders in each
event only were scored.
The boys left Thursday and re
turned Sunday, accompanied by the
coach and Mis Maxine McCurdy.
They were accorded hospitality of
the university campus and reported
a good time.
Get results with G. T. want 'ads.
county agent has recently been em
ployed there, however, and the sign
up for this year is expected to be
more comparable to the number of
farms.
Trackmen Qualify,
Fail to Place at Eugene
Heppner high school's four rep
resentatives at the state track meet
in Eugene last week end failed to
place in any of the events but Coach
Henry Tetz was not discouraged by
the showing made.
Gilman qualified in both the pole
vault and javelin throw, and King
qualified in the broad jump in Fri-
