Steen Says AAA Keeps
Wheat Men Solvent
Pacific northwest wheat growers
could not stay in business and sell
wheat on the basis of present world
prices, Will Steen of Milton, chair
man of the Oregon AAA committee,
told a national radio audience re
cently. Farm prices last year for
wheat would have averaged around
30c a bushel on the basis of the ex
port market, Steen pointed out.
Wheat growers taking part in the
farm program in 1940 are going to
be sure of about 86c a bushel, said
the Oregon chairman. The wheat
loans will average around 58c on the
farm. Parity payments are 11c and
conservation payments 17c.
"This still isn't parity income for
wheat but it is better than we had
last year," Steen stated. "Those out
side the program won't have as good
an income from wheat as those in
the program, although they will
benefit from the efforts of others."
He added that Oregon farmers to
date have seeded more than 100,000
acres of wheat land to crested wheat
grass in doing their part toward re
ducing the large surplus wheat ac
reage. Use Hard, Soft Wheat
For Chickens, Advised
Whether hard or soft wheat is the
best for chicken feed is a question
frequently addressed to poultry
specialists at Oregon State college.
H. E. Cosby, head of the depart
ment, says that either kind may be
used interchangeably in poultry
scratch grain, and that a good qual
ity of wheat is more important than
its texture.
The principle difference between
soft and hard wheats is in their re
spective protein contents, he ex
plained, with hard wheat running
higher in protein than soft. Since
the egg mash is designed to carry
the bulk of the nutritional load and
since the composition of scratch feed
varies according to the price of the
different grains, it is really not m
portant which kind of wheat is used,
he believes.

Petroleum Reserve
Good for 150 Years
Despite past estimates that the
reserve of crude oil is running low,
a new report by the American So
ciety for Testing Materials indicates
that existing raw materials of the
petroleum industry "are sufficient
to supply the nation's need for prob
ably 150 years, according to the Ore
gon State Motor association.
The study, made by T. G. Del-
bridge, petroleum technologist and
president of the society, showed that
the reserve estimate on January 1
was 17,348,000,000 barrels, the high,
est in the history of the country.
"Advanced methods of explora
tion, drilling, production and refin
ing are not only increasing the prov'
en reserves, but are opening up al
most unsuspected possibilities in
future reserves not yet proved," the
report stated.
SUMMER SESSION LARGER
Oregon State College This insti
tution showed the largest gain in
summer session registration over a
year ago of any in the state system,
recent figures issued by the regis
trar's office reveal. The 814 regis
tered near the end of the session
represent approximately 11 per cent
increase over a year ago.
The five-week post session at Ore
gon State starts Monday, July 31,
and an enrollment about the same
as a year ago is expected for this
more concentrated period. By length
ening class period it is possible for
students to make the same number
of credits in the shorter period that
they do in the regular summer ses
sion. Applications for admission to the
regular 1939-40 college year are now
being received in considerable vol
ume by the registrar's office. Early
application for admission and ar
rangements for living quarters are
desirable, it is announced.
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Akers, Mrs.
Alma Gilliam and Miss Minette
Johnson of Portland are guests this
week at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Barlow.

Pear Growers to
Ballot on Program
Ballots have been sent to all known
growers of winter pears in Oregon,
Washington and California, for their
use in a referendum on the matter
of establishing a continuous mar
keting agreement and order for the
handling of Pacific coast winter
pears.
The new program has been devel
oped by the division of marketing
and marketing agreements of the
United States department of agri
culture, at the request of growers
and shippers in this territory. If
adopted it will replace a similar
agreement which operated during
the 1938-1939 marketing season.
In addition to the ballots being sent
by mail, arrangements have been
made so that growers who may be
overlooked will be able to cast
votes.
The program provides for regula
tion of pear shipments by grades
and sizes, federal-state inspection of
out-of-state shipments, and exemp
tion of pears shipped for gift pur
poses. Adoption of the program re
quires a two-thirds favorable vote
of growers, and signatures of hand
lers representing at least 50 per cent
of the volume of fruit shipped,

California Autos
Decrease in Oregon
Motor travel from California in
the month of June fell 11.2 per cent
below June last year, according to
a report from the Oregon State Mo
tor association, based on non-resident
registration figures compiled
by the secretary of state.
California automobiles checked in
at registration points throughout
the state this June totaled 10,205,
as compared with 11,488 last June.
All registrations, it was pointed out,
totaled 21,918, an increase of 2.7 per
cent over June, 1938.
Reason for the slump in Oregon's
greatest source of out-of-state tour
ist business was not stated in the
motor association's report, although
it was indicated that the California
fair might be keeping Californians
at home. ,
