Wheat Allotments
Up Ten Per Cent
Morrow county's 1940 wheat al
lotment under the AAA farm pro
gram will be 104,427 acres, accord
ing to word received this week by
E. H. Miller, chairman of the coun
ty agricultural conservation com
mittee. This allotment is approxi
mately 10 per cent larger than the
1939 allotment of 93,201 acres.
"This increase is in line with the
increase in Oregon's allotment for
1940," said Miller. "Will Steen of
Milton, chairman of the state agri
cultural conservation committee, has
announced that Oregon's wheat al
lotment for 1940 is 851,458 acres, as
compared with 768,303 acres in 1939."
The national allotment for next year
is 62 million acres, seven million
acres larger than this year's allot
ment. Wide participation in the AAA
crop adjustment feature, together
with prospect for lower yields in
some wheat areas, has made possi
ble the larger allotments for 1940,
Steen said.
It is expected that within several
weeks the county AAA office will
send out individual wheat allotments
to farmers who grew wheat for har
vest in 1937, 1938, or 1939. Such farms
will be referred to as "old" wheat
farms.
"New" wheat farms those which
grew no wheat in 1937, 1938, or 1939
and on which wheat will be seeded
for harvest in 1940 may receive al
lotments, said the county chairman.
Requests for specific allotments must
be made in writing to the county
committee within a time to be speci
fied later. Only three per cent of
the county's 1940 allotment will be
made available to "new" wheat
farms.
"Compliance with all allotments
is, of course, entirely optional," the
county chairman pointed out. "Farm
ers comply with the program only if
they wish to do so. Those who do
comply know that by planting only
their allotment acreage, they con
tribute to the welfare of American
farmers by helping keep down a
surplus."

C. C. Close Advanced
To Official Board
Carlos C. Close, vice president of
The First National Bank of Portland,
has been appointed trust officer
and elected a member of the board
of directors of the state-wide bank,
it was announced by C. F. Adams,
chairman of the board. Mr. Close,
who is well known throughout the
state, assumed the positions left
vacant by the recent death of Blaine
B. Coles.
Mr. Close brings to his new jo-.
sition a wealth of experience in
the trust and investment field
which, officials of the bank believe,
will be of inestimable value to the
institution. A, graduate in law from
Leland Stanford Jr. university and
a member of the Oregon state bar,
he came to Portland in 1915 as
secretary of the Lumbermens Trust
company and in 1923 was made a
vice president of that institution.
From 1928 to 1930 he was with
Dillon Read, New York investment
bankers, returning to Portland to
direct and supervise investments in
the trust department of the First
National bank. He has been a vice
president of the First National since
1935.
Commenting on the appointment,
Mr. Adams said, "Mr. Close has
been an outstanding officer of our
bank. All of our directors feel that
we are most fortunate to have a
man of his broad experience to fill
this important post."

MURDER, SUICIDE, FIRE
Continued from First Page
recently had become insistent that
she marry him. He had maintained
that he was a single man as well as
lowering his age, about all of which
the girl seemed to harbor misgiv
ings. Apparently he abandoned all
hope of winning her and decided to
end all when she objected to leav
ing Granite with him.
Ashinhurst was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Ashinhurst, residents
for many years of the Sand Hollow
district. Miss Harvey was a resident
of The Dalles where she had been
taking nurses' training. She was
forced to discontinue her training
due to ill health and Ashinhurst be
came more instistent that she marry
him, evidence stated.
It was argued by some spectators
who visited the scene of the fire
that there were evidences of a third
party having been there before the
fire was started, suggesting the pos
sibility that the two people were
slain, their bodies placed in the
house, and the house set on fire.
The jury could find no evidence to
substantiate this theory.
Funeral services for Ashinhurst
were conducted by Rev. E. D. Gree
ley at the Laurance Case mortuary
chapel at 2 p. m. Sunday and in
terment was made in the Lexing
ton cemetery. Miss Harvey's body
was shipped to The Dalles for burial.
