Farm Program to
Get Early Start
For 1940 Season
On December 1, a month ahead of
the new calendar year, the federal
farm program for 1940 will have its
official opening in Oregon, accord
ing to announcement by Will Steen
of Milton, chairman of the state ag
ricultural conservation committee.
Oregon farmers were being in
formed by their county conserva
tion committees of the relatively few
changes which have been made in
the 1940 program.
. Among changes is one encourag-
. ii i
mg greater participation Dy smaii
farmers. The new specification pro
vides that all farmers may earn as
much as $20, provided they carry
out sufficient conservation prac
tices.
"Of course, this doesn't mean that
all farmers taking part in the pro
gram will be paid $20," Steen said.
"They'll get only what they earn.
But if a small farmer normally has
a conservation allowance of $14, for
example, he'll find this increased
to $20 in 1940 provided he carries
out enough additional practices to i
earn it.'
Wheat growers again will receive
both acreage compliance and price
adjustment payments in 1940. The
rate of payment, however, will be
somewhat smaller than in 1939, Steen
said, since the national wheat acre
age goal of next year is 62 million
acres, as compared to 55 million acres
this year. This necessitates dividing
the money more ways, bringing
smaller payments per acre.
As in 1939, farmers expecting to

after county elections, now in prog
ress, have been held. Final date for
signing the forms will be May 1, 1940.
Jess Coats reported the fall sea
son mighty dry in the Hardman sec
tion when in town from there Monday.
Hides Must be With
Farm Killed Cattle
When cattle on the farm are not
hog-dressed, that is, the skin left on
as is done with veal and weaner
calves, the hide must be folded up
and placed in the same vehicle that
carries the carcass, warns Dr. W. H.
Lytle, chief of the state department
of agriculture division of animal in
dustry. Despite the fact that the law
plainly states that the hide must
accompany the carcass, inere is a
growing laxity in the handling of
farm dressed and quartered car
casses. Butchers who buv farm dressed
cattle must insist that the hide ac
company the carcass, the department
warns. Also, the buyer must check
on accuracy of the brand and ear
marks on the orange colored sher
iffs tag for each animal.
Charles McElligott of lone, who
was confined by illness at Heppner
hotel for several days, was able to
be up Tuesday and showed favorable
I progress toward recovery.

To Our Subscribers:
WE RETURN TO THE
Paid-in-Advance Basis
January I, 1940
7
7 HE PUBLISHERS deeply appreciate the consider
ate reception and generous response given our field con
tact representative in the last few weeks. Especially en
couraging have been the compliments paid the paper
itself, which make the publishers feel their efforts to
give Morrow County a live local newspaper have not
been fruitless.
Days of depression, in which this paper attempted to
"give" as well as "take," caused discontinuance of the
"paid-in-advance" policy of subscription accounts for
several years, and to give credit to those who desired to
have the paper keep coming. Due to this situation, a
serious number of arrearages accrued, necessitating
special collection effort, not only to bring in needed rev
enue, but to comply with federal postal regulations.
Believing that both the newspaper and the subscriber
will be benefitted by such a policy in future, as well as to
prevent infringement of postal, regulations which jeop
ardize this papers' mailing privileges, we are returning
to a strictly "paid-in-advance" policy of subscription ac
counts begnning January 1 , 1940, at which time any ac
count six months or more in arrears will be closed and
the subscription discontinued.
After January 1, 1940, each subscriber will receive no
tice 30 days prior to date of subscription expiration, and
no subscription account will be carried for more than
six months.
Again we thank all our subscribers for their favorable
consideration.
