June Rainfall
Below Normal
Record Shows
Fall for 20 Days
Indicates Continued
Shortage for Season
With .81 of an inch of rainfall re
corded for the first 20 days, the cur
rent month of June is lagging be
hind the two previous years, as well
as falling below the average of 1.17
'inches. While most of the month
thus far has been cool, with occa
sional showers, it was during the
past week end that the larger part
of the precipitation fell.
The figures submitted are for
Heppner, where L. L. Gilliam keeps
the weather records. In the mountain
areas the recordings show consider
ably heavier precipitation, in most
instanced better than an inch dur
ing the latest fall. Actual figures
have not been released from outly
ing districts. The Heppner chart
shows that in June 1937 this region
enjoyed a precipitation of 3.03 inches.
In 1938 the figure dropped to 1.21
and unless the clear, warm weather
which broke Wednesday resolves
into thunder showers within the
next few days June 1939 may re
main at the low of .81 of an inch.
Reports from the grain districts
indicate that rain is not essential.
In the earlier districts it is stated
that there will be less loss without
rain than with it. This is due to the
fact that the tap roots are short and
any increase in the heads may cause
the grain to topple over. Loss from
this source would be greater than
that due to lack of filling. Much of
the early grain will soon be ready
for cutting.
In the higher reaches where grain
is considerably later the rains have
been welcome. The only complaints
heard have been from hay raisers
who had their crops down, but the
rains did not last long enough to
cause material damage. Grazing
areas have been materially benefitted.
SCHOOL AUDIT DUE
Annual audit of the county's school
district books will begin next week,
according to Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, su
perintendent. C. R. Ha mm of Pull
man, Wash., who has done the aud
iting for the past several years, has
again been retained for the work.

State Allotment
Of Wheat Acreage
Up Ten Per Cent
Oregon's 1940 wheat allotment will
be 851,458 acres, Will Steen of Mil
ton, chairman of the state AAA farm
program committee, has anounced.
This allotment is 10 per cent larger
than that received by Oregon for
1939.
The increase in the state allot
ment is in line with the increase in
the national wheat allotment an
nounced recently by the Agricul
tural Adjustment administration.
The national allotment for 1940 is
62. million acres, seven million acres
larger than the 1939 allotment.
Steen asserted that these acreage
allotments represented "goals" and
that farmers cooperate only on a vol
untary basis in an effort to hold
wheat production down to these
levels.
Wide participation of farmers in
Oregon and other wheat-producing
states with the AAA farm program
this year contributed substantially to
the adjustment in wheat supplies
and the resulting larger allotments
for 1940, Steen said.
The state allotment soon will be
divided up on a county basis, after
which county AAA committees will
apportion the county allotments
among individual farmers. The state
allotment was confirmed almost two
months earlier than last year, said
Steen, which will make it possible
for farmers to have their allotments
well in advance of the winter wheat
planting season.
"By planting within their 1940
wheat acreage allotments," Steen
pointed out, "Oregon farmers will
cooperate with other farmers of the
nation in balancing wheat acreage
with needs for the immediate future.
The national allotment is based on
the acreage necessary to provide
for our domestic markets, our ex
port trade, and a reserve for any
emergency which may arise."
The wheat allotment for a farm is
the basis for the farmer's partici
pation in all phases of the national
program including conservation pay
ments, price adjustment payments,
wheat loans, and crop insurance.
