Better Crop Practices
Shown in AAA Report
Acreage of soil depleting crops on
14,209 Oregon farms that participat
ed in the 1936 agricultural conser
vation program decreased by an av
erage of 13.5 percent, which was ac
counted for by increase in soil con
serving crops or practices, accord
ing to the final summary of the 1936
program submitted by N. C. Donald
son, secretary of the state AAA com
mittee, to the recent conference held
at Oregon State college on compil
ing recommendations for the 1938
program.
This is considered an excellent
showing in view of the lateness of
the season when the 1936 program
was announced. A much wider par
ticipation will be shown in the 1937
program, he said, even though the
percentage shift from soil depleting
crops may not continue at the first
year rate.
The statistical summary, which
includes more than 99 per cent of
the participating farms, shows a
total of $1,905,408 having been paid
to cooperators in the program for
carrying out land diversion and soil
building practices. Of this amount,
approximately $263,000 was paid out
under the range improvement pro
gram. Total expenditures deducted
from the sum distributed, to care for
county administrative work, amount
ed to $127,349, or considerably less
than 1 per cent of the total.
Donaldson estimated that, con
sidering the sign-up under the 1937
program, totaling 35,421 work sheets,
total payments to be earned by Ore
gon farmers this year should exceed
3l2 million dollars. Comparing the
farms represented by 1937 work
sheets with the total crop land in the
state as shown by the 1934 census,
approximately 93 per cent of the
crop land is represented in this year's
sign-up, even though only about 55
per cent of the actual farms, as rec
ognized by the census takers, have
signed up.
Mrs. Ernest Heliker was a visitor
in the city Monday from the farm
near Morgan. She reported harvest
under way in their fall wheat with
fair returns .The spring wheat was
not yet ready to cut but prospecjts
were that it would yield better than
the fall grain.
Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
I recently commented upon the
hazards of night driving, and the dif
ference in the ability of various peo
pie to face blinding headlights, urg
ing the necessity of care and consid
eration on the part of drivers, in or
der that due consideration be given
to the safety of others. Some recent
tests show the American Medical
association in this connection, are of
interest, and trace this "night blind
ness" to a definite physical condition.
Until these tests were perfected a
few weeks ago, this "night blind
ness" was supposed to be confined
to people on very poor diets, who
ate little if any vitamines A. It was
common in Russia during the war.
Medical men did not dream that the
same blindness could affect large
numbers of Americans, who ate per
fectly adequate food.
Safety demands that you take no
chances in night driving. A large
percentage of accidents occur durins
the dark hours, and much of it is
caused by blinding headlights. Re
member that the person in the aD-
proaching car may not be physically
able to adjust his vision to the
changes involved in meeting and
passing a car with bright "lights,
even though you are able to do so.
Physicians also agree that some
illnesses leave people 'night blind."
We are informed that an acute sinus
or grippe attack may do this tem
porarily. Have your lights properlv adiust-
ed, and show every consideration to
the drivers of the cars you meet, if
you would help eliminate Oregon's
traffic deaths.

Nowhere are such excellent potatoes grown as in the higher altitudes, the mountain

Many County Farmers
Use Cooperative Loans
Two hundred and fifteen Morrow
county farmers have solved their
farm financing problems with co
operative mortgage loans and spec
ial commissioner loans through their
local farm loan associations and the
district Land bank of Spokane, acn
cording to information from the
Farm Credit administration of Spo
kane this week. The amount of their
loans totals $1,326,550.
Land bank loans are made on a
cooperative basis out of funds ob
tained from the investing public.
The local farm loan associations in
dorse the mortgages they pass and
approve for their local farmer-members,
and the district Land bank
uses the association - guaranteed
mortgages as security for bonds sold
to private investors in all walks of
life.
Due to the sale of a recent issue
of Land bank bonds bearing 3 per
cent interest, the local associations
are now able to close new first mort
gage loans bearing the record low
interest rate of 4 per cent a year to
farmers having a sound basis of
credit. The loans are written for as
long as 34 years, arranged so the
principal can be systematically paid
out of farm earnings by the end of
the contract period through install
ments on the "amortization" plan.
Borrowers have an ownership in
terest in this cooperative mortgage
system and share in the manage
ment through their investment in
voting capital stock of their local
associations. The associations in turn
hold a corresponding investment in
the capital stock of the Land bank
and elect their representative on the
district Farm Credit administration
board of directors.
