Estimate Sheets Required on All Farms Under AAA Approximately 18,000 Oregon far mers already have signed "farm es timate sheets," showing how they expect to arrange their farming to comply with the 1939 agricultural conservation program, said an an nouncement this week by N. C. Donaldson, executive officer at the state AAA office in Corvallis. This represents approximately 40 per cent of the 45,000 Oregon farmers who are taking part in the farm program. Donaldson pointed out that there are still many farmers who have not filled out and signed the esti mate sheets, and he urged that they do so immediately since June 1 is the deadline for their completion. Farm ers who have not indicated farm plans by June 1, through estimate sheets, will not be eligible to re ceive benefits under the AAA pro gram, he declared. County and community commit teemen in each county of the state have received special training in helping fill out the estimate sheets, the executive officer said. In some counties, neighborhood meetings are being held at which the sheets are filled out. In others, farmers are asked to come to the county of fice, or are visited personally by their community committeemen. "Farmers are finding the esti mate sheets of much value in plan ning how to get the greatest benefits from the conservation program," Donaldson stated. "By filling out one of the sheets, each farmer gets a good picture of how the program applies to his own land." The executive officer pointed out that if farmers cooperating in the AAA program complete their esti mate sheet signup now, they will aid their county offices greatly by elim inating a last minute rush before the June 1 deadline. First compliance forms relating to wheat price adjustment payments have been received from Wasco and Umatilla counties. Payment at the rate of 11 cents per bushel for nor mal yield of allotment acreage will be made promptly, says Donaldson, EXAMINER HERE 27TH C. M. Bentley, examiner of oper ators and chaffeurs from the office of Earl Snell, secretary of state, will be at the city hall in Heppner, on Thursday, April 27, between the hours of 1 and 4 p. m. All those wishing licenses or permits to drive cars are asked to get in touch with Mr. Bentley at that time. Double-Disking Effective Moro Shallow land double-disked for fallow has produced just as high wheat yield as when plowed with a mold-board plow in 12 years' trials at the branch experiment station here. The double-disking leaves the straw and stubble in the upper few inches of soil, which helps prevent wind and water erosion. Average yields of mold-board plowing have hppn onlv six-tenths of a bushel larger with winter wheat, while with spring wheat the averages are exact ly the same. Mrs. Fred Fortner, Jr., of Wasco left for home Sunday after a fort night's visit at the home of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lucas.
