Morrow County
Represented in
OSC Grad Class
Oregon State College, Corvallis,
June J By far the largest class ever
to be graduated from Oregon State
college received degrees at the 69th
annual commencement Tuesday,
when officials of the college deliv
ered diplomas to 590 seniors and
graduate students and to three
prominent men receiving honorary
degrees.
Among the graduates this year
was one from Morrow county who
had completed his work. He is Ken
neth Smouse of lone who received
a B. S. degree in engineering.
Honorary doctors' degrees were
conferred upon Dr. E. J. Krauss,
former head of the department of
horticulture at Oregon State college
and now with the University of Chi
cago and the federal bureau of plant
industry; Thornton T. Munger, di
rector of the Pacific Northwest For
est Experiment station of Portland,
and J. C. Stevens, noted consulting
engineer of Portland and designer
pf many northwest hydro-electric
and other engineering projects.
Of the students graduating this
year five received the doctor of phil
osophy degree in the school of sci
ence, the highest academic achieve
ment at the institution. Eight had
earned master's of arts degrees, 56
masters of science, four professional
degrees, 35 bachelor of arts and 482
bachelor of science.
In this year's graduating class were
students from every county in the
state except Curry. Multnomah led
as usual with 137, followed by Ben
ton with 100, Marion 29, Clackamas
and Douglas 19 each, and Lane and
Polk with 16 each. Twenty-one oth
er states were represented and four
foreign countries.
Ages of graduates varied from 19
to 43 and averaged 22.14 years for
women and 24.41 years for men. The
class included 154 students who
transferred from 58 institutions in
17 states to finish their work at Ore
gon State.
Employment conditions for the
graduates, while not as favorable as
last year, were such that nearly all
of the graduates who want them will
have either temporary or permanent
positions this summer.
Marketing Quota
Not Possible on
1938 Wheat Crop
No marketing quotas for the 1938
wheat crop will be established inas
much as funds for making parity
payments were not provided as spec
ified in the Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1938, according to definite
announcements made by Secretary
Wallace.
In a statement received by the
Oregon office of the AAA, Secretary
Wallace pointed out that May 15 was
the latest date for establishing a na
tional wheat marketing quota to be
voted on by the wheat growers. The
law specified that no wheat quotas
could be in effect during the mar
keting year beginning July 1, 1938,
unless provisions for parity payments
had been made prior to May 15. If
funds had been provided, wheat
growers doubtless would have been
given opportunity to vote on a mar
keting quota, the statement read.
The May report of the division of
crop estimates indicated that the to
tal supply of wheat will be in ex
cess of the amount set forth in the
Farm Act as the requirement for
marketing quotas. The probable win
ter wheat production plus carryover,
added to the probable spring wheat
production, makes a possible total
supply of 1,154,000,000 bushels. If
this materializes there will be from
400,000,000 to 450,000,000 bushels in
excess of a normal year's domestic
consumption and exports.
As a possible means of meeting this
situation which was explained to
Oregon growers recently by George
E. Farrell, director of the western
AAA region, the eastern Oregon
Wheat league recently passed a res
olution urging first, that wheat loans
be kept low enough to encourage a
free flow to wheat markets of the
world, and second, that an extra pay
ment on northwest wheat be provid
ed this year in order to make possi
ble the lowered wheat loans without
injustice.
lone Gives Echo
Close Rub in 6-7 Game
Dorr Mason gave out but nine
hits to 11 which his teammates
touched up Berry of Echo for, but
the lone lads had the sad exper
ience of losing by a lone tally, 6-7,
in the Blue Mountain league game
on the Echo lot, Sunday. A feature
of the game was the play of Norman
Swanson on second base for lone
who scintillated on several hard
chances. Joe Bittles, veteran Uma
tilla Indian, and Manager Fred Hos
kins who went in as pinchhitters in
the ninth helped the lone scoring.
Bittles beat out an infield hit and
Hoskins scored him on a two-base
blow.
Veteran Dutch Rietmann started at
first for lone and was relieved in the
third by Ransier who arrived late.
Shropshire of Echo filled in with
lone at third. Other lone players
were Morgan c, Lee Pettyjohn s. Rit
chie 1, Bristow m, Heliker r. Heliker
also made a hero of himself when
he retrieved Liesegang's fly far over
the treetops into the highway and
by a triple relay, all perfect throws,
caught the runner at home. It looked
as though Liesegang had knocked
the ball far enough to walk leisure
ly around the bases a couple of
times.
