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.
