New Chemistry Hall at
OSC is Study Center
Oregon State College A building
project which had its inception some
fifteen years ago reached the com
pleted stage here with the dedica
tion December 2 of the $425,000
chemistry hall.
Fifteen years ago the then presi
dent of Oregon State, Dr. W. J. Kerr,
assigned Professor John Fulton,
head of the department, the task of
starting plans for a new chemistry
building. While depression halted the
plans temporarily, creation of PWA
finally led to realization of the pro
ject under the direction of the state
board of higher education.
In dedicating the building here,
President G. W. Peavy pointed out
that chemistry is a subject basic to
almost all instruction at Oregon
State college and that it is the heart
of the rapidly growing school of
science. The new structure, now the
largest on the campus, is already
accommodating 1490 students in
class and laboratory work this fall.
The building was designed by John
B. Bennes, Portland architect, and
was built by Dugan-Hammond Con
struction company.
Students in schools in Eugene will
compete in a safety poster contest,
sponsored by the Eugene Teachers'
association, it was announced today.
Posters covering all phases of safe
ty will be drawn by the students and
prizes will be awarded the winners,
the state safety division announced.
P. J. O'Meara, veteran black
smith of lone, was a business visitor
here Tuesday.

Payment Rates
For 1940 Farm
Program Listed
Rates of payments which will be
made to participating farmers in the
1940 AAA farm program were an
nounced this week by the state of
fice at Corvallis following the of
ficial beginning of the new year's
program December 1.
Among principal changes is the
rate to wheat growers. They will re
ceive a performance payment of
nine cents a bushel on the average
yield of their allotted acreage, as
compared to 17 cents in 1939.
"This reduction is made necessary
by the fact that the United States
acreage goal for 1940 has been raised
from 55 million acres of wheat to 62
million acres," explained Will Steen
of Milton, chairman of the state ag
ricultural conservation committee.
"This means that money appropriat
ed by congress must be divided
more, bringing a lower payment per
acre."
It is expected that "parity pay
ments" will again be made in 1940
to wheat growers. These will be
made only if the 1939 average price
of wheat is less than 75 per cent of
parity.
There will be no change in pay
ment rates to growers of potatoes or
commercial vegetables. Potato grow
ers in those counties designated as
commercial potato growing areas
will continue to receive three cents
a bushel on the average yield of
their allotted acreage, if they com
ply with the farm program. Com
mercial vegetable growers cooperat
ing in those counties designated as
commercial vegetable growing areas
will continue to receive $1.50 an acre
on their allotted acreage.
A rate of $2 an acre has been set
up for use in computing payments
which may be earned by growers of
commercial orchards and perennial
vegetables such as strawberries and
asparagus. The payments to growers
of perennial vegetables who comply
with acreage allotments are a new
feature which has been added to the
1940 farm program.

Mid-Columbia Meet
Draws Reservations
Letters, ordering reservations for
the banquet of the Mid-Columbia
chamber congress, regional group
with affiliate community chambers,
all the way from Portland to Ar
lington and from Vancouver, Wash.,
to Pasco, have been coming in large
numbers the past week, according
to W. S. Nelson, manager of The
Dalles chamber of commerce and
secretary of the regional body. Indi
cations point to a record attendance
at this year's annual meeting of the
Mid-Columbia chamber, Mr. Nelson
says.
The man who will travel the long
est distance to attend the meeting
will be Charles L. Wheeler, execu
tive vice-president of the McCor
mack Steamship Co., whose head
quarters are in San Francisco. Mr.
Wheeler, a former resident of Hood
River, has been keenly interested in
development of the Inland empire
since he commissioned a freighter
of his line, the Charles L. Wheeler,
Jr., to open the Mid-Columbia-Bon-neville
seaway on July 9, 1939. He
has written that he is looking for
ward to a reunion with leaders of
this area with keenest interest. He
declared, however, that a crisis in
the waterfront strike at San Fran
cisco might prevent his journey
north. Indications the past several
days were that this labor trouble is
being ironed out.
In addition to the list of speakers
formerly announced for the ap
proaching annual meeting, set for
December 14 at the Columbia Gorge
hotel, Hood River, Mr. Nelson stated
yesterday that Roy F. Shields, coun
sel of the Union Pacific system, will
talk on railway transportation.
It is expected that a representative
delegation from the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league, 'which is holding its
annual meeting this week in Condon,
will be present at the December 14
sessions.
