Substantial Use
Of AAA Programs
Shown in Oregon
A year-end checkup on various
features of the AAA program in
Oregon applying to wheat has shown
a comparatively large participation
in the loan and insurance programs,
and a reduction of fall seeded acre
age for next year's crop, reports N.
Donaldson, state executive offi
cer at Oregon State college.
The final estimate on wheat loans
shows approximately IVz million bu
shels on which loans were taken. All
of this wheat was grown in counties
east of the Cascades, as a partial
crop failure in western Oregon last
year resulted in ample local mar
kets for all of the production in that
area, according to Edgar Ludwick,
state supervisor of the state wheat
loan program.
Approximately 650 applications
for wheat insurance policies were
received before the final closing date
for insurance on winter wheat, re
ports Clyde Kiddle, state supervisor
of the crop insurance program,
Growers took out insurance on more
than 85,000 acres. The largest single
group of insurance policies in the
entire United States was written m
Oregon, when insurance was provid
ed for three associated companies
in Umatilla county, all under the
management of Mac Hoke. The
combined premiums amounted to
approximately three large carloads
of wheat.
Applications tor insurance on
spring seeded acreage may be made
starting the latter part of January.
The December federal crop re
port estimates Oregon winter wheat
seeding this fall at 649,000 acres, as
compared with a 10-year average
of 842,000. The acreage seeded a year
ago was 763,000. In the United States
as a whole, the winter wheat acre
age is estimated at approximately 10
million acres under the 1937 figure,
which, according to AAA officials,
indicates substantial compliance
with the 1939 wheat acreage allotments.

Ulohg distance telephone rates!
4toUipcl THAN MANY FOLKS REALIZE
Recently we invited hundreds of visitors in our offices to
guess the Long Distance rates to various points. Then,
on an illuminated map, we flashed the true rate. Usually
the guessers were surprised to find that their guess was
high often much too high! For the rate to any town,
just see Directory or ask Long Distance operator... and
remember, when you communicate by telephone, you get
"a round trip for a one-way fare" for the answer is part
of the message!

Compare your house wiring
with water pipe...
Like pipe, electric wiring will
hold only so much electricity.
Put more appliances on one
circuit than the wire can sup
ply and your iron, for ex
ample, won't get really hot,
your lamp will be dim, your
mixer will labor. If your wir
ing overloads easily, ask an
electrical contractor to ex
amine it. A few simple
changes may be enough to
make it adequate.
