Youth's Spirit
Unconquered
CORROW envelops the community
on the passing of a youth of
promise. An unquenchable thirst for
knowledge of mechanics led a young
man to acquire a "bug." His hobby
of the moment was to have been a
stepping stone to a structural en
gineering career. He shared the
pleasure of it with his friends. He
took it apart to see what made it
click; put it together again. Fate
decreed that a few moments after
he had taken books to a bedfast
friend, this "bug" was to overturn,
bringing lightning-like surcease to
his life, and rocking the community
with sickening shock; shrouding it
with sadness.
The spirit of youth was strong in
Harry Tamblyn, Jr., and it was di
rected in the way of accomplishing
ideals. He, like millions of other
youths, made sport out of working
toward life's ambitions Clean and
wholesome, he faced the future with
a smile. Youth-like, momentary
hazard was blithely met. The pass
ing moment held little thought ex
cept for what someday might be. In
an instant, the front wheels of the
"bug" failed to respond as they
should; the "bug" turned turtle, and
that happened which alone can stay
the progress of such a youth.
Harry may not go on. But his
spirit the spirit of youth is un
conquered. Harry was with the
school band at all six contests in
which it has participated, being a
member since the band was organ
ized. And his spirit will be with the
band in Portland this week end,
working to bring new honors for the
loyal group of friends, as will also
the spirit of Paul Doolittle who,
bedfast with a broken leg, will be
prevented from making the trip.
"Harry would have had it so," said
sister Margaret, who will be in her
place. Yes, Harry would have had it
so. For Harry's spirit is the spirit
of youth the spirit that acknow
ledges no defeat only as a stepping
stone to greater accomplishment. It
is the spirit that says, "If I fall,
carry on" a heartening message,
bringing a ray of sunlight through
the "dark clouds.
World Salvation
IN THE last several years of de
pression, most everyone has had
the sad experience of trying to sell
something to somebody who had no
money. It may have been that a
transaction was accomplished by
accepting some commodity or article
or service in lieu of money, but
there have been many instances
when the prospective buyer had
nothing to exchange that was ac
ceptable to the seller.
This situation exists among na
tions at present, and the rapid in
crease in the amount of buried gold
in the United States is not relieving
it. The truth of this is recognized by
thinking men generally, and of sev
eral plans to remedy it a Mr. Neylan
gave a good Christian version in a
recent address at the Golden Gate
International exposition at San
Francisco.
Himself a San Franciscan, Ney
lan advocates taking five billions of
our gold and making an outright gift
to beleagured currency countries to
help stabilize their monies. Instead
of acting as a dam in the flow of
world trade, as the gold buried now
does, its reintroduction into world
trade would stimulate the flow of
commerce, reestablish a feeling of
brotherly love and probably do more
than anything else to avert imminent
major war.
Neylan points out that money in
Germany and Italy is little better
than fiat, that Russia's ruble is next
to worthless, while the franc of
France is shaky in the extreme.
With stabilized currency, these
countries would be able to obtain
credit, not be forced to barter in
the world marts.
Along with the gift of gold, Neylan
would seek a redistribution of terri
tory in Europe to make things a lit
tle more even between the "haves"
and the "have-nots," eonomically.
This man Neylan has the germ' of
an idea that should be taken ser
iously by the powers that be. Yankee-minded
financiers may scoff at
it, but if there is to be relief from
government subsidization of every
commodity of which the United
States happens to raise a little more
than it can use, and the resultant
increasing tax burden that is caus
ing an ; ever-widening spread be
tween producer and consumer, Un
cle Sam must take more than a mer
cenary interest in nations abroad.
Export Markets
Vital to Oregon
Whe'at Producers
The importance of export markets
to Oregon wheat growers was point
ed out this week by Will Steen,
chairman of the Oregon AAA com
mittee, following a survey made by
the state office at Corvallis which
showed that out of an Oregon har
vest of 23,500,000 bushels of wheat
in 1938 only about 9,500,000 bushels
were used in this state.
"Oregon ' had to use out-of-state
markets for about 14,000,000 bushels,
or 55 per cent, of the 1938 wheat
crop," Steen pointed out. "This is a
fairly representative situation, not
only for Oregon, but other northwest
states where the land now devoted
to wheat is growing the crop for
which it is best adapted. There is no
immediate prospect for any major
shift to other crops in the inland
empire wheat belt."
Oregon's wheat consumption for
1938 is estimated by the state AAA
office about as follows, although no
figures of assured accuracy are
available: human consumption, 3,
500,000 bushels; seed, 1,000,000 bush
els; livestock, 2,700,000; poultry,
2,250,000, or total of 9,450,000. Ore
gon's wheat prbdution in 1938, ac
cording to official estimate of the
bureau of agricultural economics,
was 23,567,000 bushels.
Oregon farmers will continue to
need outside markets for wheat, even
though they are cooperating fully
in their attempt to reduce the na
tional surplus wheat acreage by ap
proximately 25 per cent this year,
Steen believes.
"For years Oregon farm groups
have been urging a national policy
which would recognize that Pacific
northwest wheat is largely export
wheat. The present wheat export
policy with the aid of subsidies is a
step in this direction," he said,
pointing out that about 102,000,000
bushels have been moved out of the
United States since July 1, 1938,
largely as a result of this program.
The wheat is sold abroad only
through private exporting firms
which naturally sell to all custom
ers including the so-called dictator
nations. The federal surplus com
modities corporation has no author
ity to control the ultimate destina
tion of the subsidized exports, said
Steen.

WORD, MARKETING
INDICATING YEAR'S
(Editor's Note: This article, third
in a series of six by the Mor
row County Agricultural Con
servation association explaining
the farm program, takes up the
matter of marketing quotas
which is of much interest to far
mers at the present time.)
Wheat growers of Morrow county
consider May 15 an important date
on their calendars. By that time, the
secretary of agriculture is expected
to have announced whether 1939
crop indications warrant marketing
quotas.
The agricultural adjustment act
provides that if the total supply of
wheat for any marketing year ex
ceeds normal domestic consumption
and exports by more than 35 per
cent, the secretary must declare a
national marketing quota.
If the quota is announced, it will
be voted on before June 10 by all of
the nation's farmers growing 100
bushels of more of wheat annually
for market
If two-thirds of wheat farmers
want the quotas, the action would
then become effective on July 1
Each wheat farm would then have
an individual marketing quota

RHEA CREEK NEWS

this meeting Henry Baker was elect
ed alternate delegate to attend the
state convention of the grange at

QUOTAS AWAITED,
WHEAT PICTURE
quota would be subject to a pen
alty of 15 cents per bushel.
To help farmers hold wheat in
excess of their quotas, storage loans
would be offered if a marketing
quota was proclaimed and approved.
If a marketing quota was voted
down, however, there would be no
wheat loans.
The purpose of marketing quotas,
of course, is to enable farmers to
control marketing of their own crops
when large supplies threaten to
hurt the market.
To make the marketing quota
feature of the AAA farm program
entirely a democratic procedure,
there can be no action by the de
partment of agriculture without the
approval of two-thirds or more of
wheat farmers.
Each farmer's marketing quota
would represent his share of the
marketing needed for all domestic
uses, exports and a safe reserve.
Farmers of Morrow county raised
approximately 2,000,000 bushels of
wheat in 1938. By the middle of the
month, they will undoubtedly know
whether the secretary of agriculture
thinks it advisable that their wheat
grown this year should be subject
to some form of marketing regula
tion. Eva Smith, teaher, departed for her
home in Idaho Wednesday.
Miss Marjorie Thomas of Port
land is a house guest at the John
Bergstrom home this week.
Mrs. Milton Morgan, Jr., was able
to return to her home at lone Mon
day following an appendectomy at
Heppner hospital.
