SURE SIGNS OF SPRING, AND
HONORING A GREAT NATURE LOVER
By F. F. WEHMEYER
Last week, Old Sol stuck his nose
and one eye around a cloud. He ap
peared pale, sick and haggard. The
town dogs barked and he again
scurried for cover. It is hoped that
he will soon sober up and get back
on the job.
Spring can't be far away, for a
meadowlark sat on the fence this
morning voicing a few plaintive,
throaty notes. Laryngitis, probably,
and the first grass widows are in
bloom, waving their arms and nod
ding their heads in a mildly flirta
tious manner.
When the bluebirds arrive, there
will be no further guesswork, spring
is here, for they have no time to fool
with the weather. On arrival they
want to get at their business of
housekeeping without delay. While
Mr. Bluebird hangs the window cur
tains and does other domestic jobs,
under shrill direction, Mrs. Bluebird
starts her sewing on tiny garments
in anticipatiin of ciming blessed
events.
With spring in the immediate off
ing, we turn our thoughts to Easter
and Arbor Day. Those who believe,
open their hearts in rejoicing that
the Redeemer was victorious over a
cruel death he met on the cross.
Those folks who love every phase
of nature, will plant trees or care
for those now living.
This year we have added incen
tive to observe Arbor Day. It is the
centennial of John Muir, one of
America's greatest naturalists. Bom
a Scot, he gave to his adopted coun
try an illustrious name, fittingly
perpetuated in the naming of the
wonderful glacier that sweeps down
off Mt. Fairweather to the sea. He
discovered and explored the Gla
cier Bay region of Alaska in 1878.
Affectionately known as "John o'
the Woods," he. was also one of the
first and foremost of America's for
esters. Schools throughout the Uni
ted States are planning programs in
April to honor John Muir. No finer
tribute could be paid his memory
than the planting of one of the trees
he loved so well.

Wheat Allotments
Soon to be Ready
For Oregon Farms
With the wheat acreage allotment
for Oregon definitely established,
the Agricultural Adjustment admin
istration in this sttae, consisting
mostly of farmer committeemen, will
proceed at once to make the essen
tial changes in former plans made
necessary by the passage of the new
law, according to N. E. Dodd, state
committee chairman.
A series of eight district meetings
in Oregon is being held, as arranged
by the state committee immediately
upon the return of representatives
from Salt Lake City where all pro
visions of the new act were ' thor
oughly discussed. These district
meetings are being attended by
county agents and county commit
teemen where adjustments in the
1938 program will be explained. The
schedule of district meetings follows:
March 15 Benton, Linn, Polk,
Marion, Lane and Yamhill counties
at Corvallis and Coos and Curry at
Coquille; March 16 Lincoln, Tilla
mook and Clatsop at Tillamook and
Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine at
Grants Pass; March 17 Columbia,
Washington, Clackamas, Multnomah
and Hood River at Gresham; March
18 Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Mor
row and Umatilla at Arlington;
March 19 Crook, Deschutes, Jeffer
son, Klamath, Lake, Wheeler and
Harney at Redmond; March 21
Grant, Baker, Malheur, Union and
Wallowa at Baker.
Of major interest to Oregon is the
provision in the new law for a 1938
wheat acreage allotment. It will be
applicable to wheat growers in this
state except where farms in deficit
food and feed crop areas normally
produce less than 100 bushels a year.
On such farms wheat will be in
cluded with the general soil de
pleting crops for which no individ-
al allotments are established.
Larger wheat growers who par
ticipate in the 1938 conservation
program will be given definite acre
age allotments by the county -com
mittees. Those who conform to such
an allotment and carry out such soil
building practices as are applicable
on their farms will qualify for ben
efit payments at the rate of 12 cents
a bushel on the normal yield for the
acreage in their allotment.
The program is again strictly vol
untary, the state officials point out
The establishment of marketing quo
tas, the one feature' of the bill which
can be made compulsory by a two
thirds vote by the farmers them
selves, is not planned for wheat in
1938.
Phone Company Pays
Million Dollars Taxes
Total taxes of The Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company in
Oregon on its operations in 1937
were $1,226,659, or an average of
$9.04 per telephone for the year
more than 75c per month. The total
1937 taxes were the highest in the
history of the company in Oregon.
This was made known by J. R
pany, with the payment to the Mor
row county tax collector of $3,187.18
for real and personal property taxes,
with the discount for prompt pay
ment Total real and personal property
operating taxes now being paid by
the company in Oregon are $785,468.
33, which, with federal, franchise,
social security and miscellaneous
taxes, make up the $1,226,659 grand
total.

Cities Project Gets
National Attention
University of Oregon, Eugene,
March 15 The codification of city
ordinances project, under way in a
number of Oregon cities, has won
nation-wide attention, it was an
nounced here by Herman Kehrli,
director of the University of Oregon
bureau of municipal research. The
work is carried on as a WPA pro
ject, with the bureau and the League
of Oregon Cities cooperating.
Progress of the project was re
cently described in a letter to league
secretaries and an article in the
Washington News Letter, both is
sued by the American Municipal
association. Other publications have
also described the codification, and
inauiries have been received from
many sections of the country.
Under a system worked out by
William Hall, staff member of the
university bureau, ordinances of
three cities have already been codi
fied and "streamlined" so that their
usefulness and efficiency has been
greatly increased, and 14 other mu
nicipalities, including Heppner, have
signed up for this service, Mr. Kehr
li reports.
