Profitable Wheat
Practices Told
By Bertha Hunt
Attending the Morrow County
Erosion Control meeting, a large as
sembly of interested farmers filled
Lexington grange hall last Thursday.
As a result from lecture and dis
cussion, B. H. Peck concludes that
a profitable way to grow wheat
would be to hold to the summer
fallow system, seeding one half or
more of the year's acreage to win
ter wheat in the fall. The remaining
acres being handled by basin list
ing or contour or similar furrowed
practice until spring, to facilitate
moisture penetration arid avoiding
water erosion. At suitable time in
spring, smooth the field and plant
to high-yielding variety of spring
wheat. This plan, it was believed,
would help spread the work, pro
vide a measure of weed and water
erosion control and prepare for max
imum yield on the whole acreage.
Lexington grange will meet at the
hall Feb. 12, at 8 o'clock p. m.

State Nets Increase
In Tax on Gasoline
The state of Oregon netted an in
crease of $568,405.03 in gasoline tax
money in 1937, representing a gain
of 5.4 per cent over the previous
year, according to the secretary of
states' figures released by the Ore
gon State Motor association.
Gasoline pumps in the state
ground out an additional 11,368,100
gallons for Oregon motorists who
in turn put the streets and highways
to greater use than ever before. The
increase was due largely to stimu
lation of local and non-resident rec
reational travel, it was pointed out.
For the entire year, motor vehicles
used a total of 223,283,280.86 gallons
of gasoline, returning $11,164,164.12
to the state in taxes. Net amount of
the fuel tax transferred to the state
highway fund was $9,753,494.78.
Despite the increased use of the
highways, the traffic injury and fa
tality curves headed downward.
Records show 2 per cent decrease in
injuries and a 5 per cent drop in fa
talities. A few more accidents were
reported, however, the increase
amounting to 9.5 per cent.

Pie Filling Vagaries
Explained in Leaflet
There are probably few homemak
ers who have not had the aggravat
ing experience of making a pie fill
ing containing eggs which seemed
just right when it was set aside to
cool, but when dinner time came it
was found to be thin and "runny."
The explanation of this culinary
catastrophe is found in a mimeo
graphed leaflet on desserts recently
prepared by Miss Lucy A. Case, ex
tension specialist in foods and nu
trition at Oregon State college.
The presence of sugar in the mix
ture raises the temperature at which
egg coagulates, she points out, so
that if the product is not reheated
after the egg yolk is added to the hot
milk mixture, the temperature may
not be hot enough to cook the eggs
sufficiently. The filling may appear
thick at the time, but on standing
it becomes runny as the sugar dis
solves in the uncooked yolk. In re
heating the mixture after adding the
eggs, care is necessary to avoid curd
ling the eggs by over-cooking, she
says.
Motor Travel Great
On Oregon Highways
If all the miles traveled on Ore
gon's highways in 1937 were laid end
to end they would reach around the
world 107,167 times.
Or, if one motorist were to drive
day and night at an average speed
of 45 miles per hour he would have
to keep it up 7,647 years to equal
the number of motor vehicle miles
traveled in Oregon during 1937.
This, according to the Oregon
State Motor association, gives some
indication of the extensive use of
Oregon's highway system. Total
mileage for the year, it was report
ed, was 2,679,399,370 miles, resulting
in the consumption of 223,283,280
gallons of gasoline.
While a large part of this mileage
was accounted for by trucks and
busses, the private motorist and his
increased desire for recreational
travel contributed the major share,
the motor association declares.
