Page Eight fleppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, Dec. 28, 1939 AAA Objectives For 1940 Stress Self-Financing Renewed efforts to make the fed eral farm program self-supporting and increased emphasis on soil con servation are expected to be the principal AAA developments for 1940, according to a New Year's an nouncement by Will Steen of Milton, chairman of the Oregon agricultural conservation committee. "We're hearing a lot now about making the farm program self-supporting so that it won't be depend ent on the U. S. treasury for all its revenue," said the chairman. "That was one of the principal discussion topics at the recent convention of the Eastern Oregon Wheat league at Condon. "Other farm organizations also are working on plans which would put the AAA on a more permanent basis and give it a continuing source of income. The 'certificate plan,' a form of processing tax, is one of the most popular ideas right now. It is designed to finance programs for basic commodities such as wheat. "Both Secretary Wallace and R. M. Evans, national AAA administra tor, are stressing the need of mak ing the AAA self-supporting. Mr. Evans said at Condon that the na tional farm program, during its sev en years, has proved its value but it must be financially self-supporting in order to be most effective." A rounded program to increase soil conservation will be in effect in 1940, Steen said. As in 1939, the basis will be an individual farm plan which each farmer will be ask ed to fill out if he wishes to take part, showing how he can best fit the AAA program to his own oper ations. Grants of aid will be used more extensively and an effort will be made to get more "needed prac tices" into general use, Steen declar ed. Oregon will help the south thru the fact that farmers here have planted additional acres of hairy vetch and Austrian winter field peas and the additional seed harvested will be made available for cover crop use in the south. All Oregon lone. Numerous social affairs are earn a minimum of $20 if they car ry on enough conservation practices in 1940, Steen added. The government is asking more for its money" in the conservation program in 1940, Steen pointed out, and has reduced the rate of credit for certain practices. County com mittees are being encouraged to make their own local requirements line with sound conservation iiiHiimitniinniiiiiniiniiimnitiiiHH At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST 9:45 Bible SchooL 11:00 Communion and preaching.

Pedestrian Deaths Less in November Oregon pedestrian fatalities dur ing the month of November show ed a reduction of 14 percent from the toll for the same month a year ago, Earl Snell, secretary of state, revealed today. Twelve persons were killed this November, com pared to 14 a year ago. Pointing to the fact 41 percent of the pedestrians killed were walking with traffic instead of facing it, Snell urged persons who walk on the highways to face traffic so that they can see approaching cars. "It is exceedingly dangerous to walk on the right side of the high way where cars are coming from your rear, especially at night or in bad weather," he said. "Always walk on the left hand side, facing traffic, and step off the pavement when cars approach.' All told, 66 percent of the ped estrians killed during November were committing some imprudent action such as crossing intersections diagonally, jaywalking, stepping from between parked cars or play ing in the roadway. Persons over 40 years of age con stituted 58 percent of pedestrian fa talities during the month and 38 percent of the pedestrian injuries were persons under 24 years of age. With the exception of January and September when 13 pedestrians were killed each month, November had more pedestrian fatalities than any other month this year. Read G. T. Want Ads.

This year it has seemed best for them to move out before the snow comes as their health is not good. Most of the mountain residents move out for the worst part of the winter. About a month ago the Roy Robinsons mov ed to their lower ranch, known as the Steers' place. The George Hay dens have a place in town and will come in when the snow comes.

They danced for a short time afterwards. The high school decorated the Christmas tree. On Friday afternoon the high stu dents had a party, complete with gifts for all, as well as candy and nuts. The time was spent in sing ing, dancing, playing games. There was a tree and other decorations. The 4-H first year sewing club under the leadership of Mildred Clary met after school on Friday with all members in attendance. Since there are but five members, they chose the name "Five Four" club. They will meet again on January 12. The Camp Cookery club met at its regular time and place on Friday afternoon, with all members present and Irl Clary, president, in the chair. After routine business re ports and singing, the members en joyed a social hour.

Condition in 1917 Holds Good Today In the issue of Feb. 1, 1917, the Gazette Times carried an article by Burton H. Peck relative to bulk handling of wheat. Mr. Peck had just attended a meeting of the Northwest Grain conference in Cor vallis which had up for considera tion the question of bulk handling. At that time the terminals at north west shipping points were unpre pared for this method of handling grain and it is probable that this particular meeting had a bearing on the decision to enter upon the in stallation of elevator service bulk loading which has become general in western grain raising districts. Use of sacks has not been elim inated. Far from it. The cost of sacks at present is doubtless causing grain growers to take the same at titude at that of 1917, expressed aptly in one paragraph of Mr. Peck's article, quoted herewith: "The producers asserted that it was an imposition to expect them to levy and donate a suit of clothes (sack) with each two bushels of grain marketed. Especially was this true when it was found that the producer was charged 35 cents per ton extra for undressing this wheat, so that it could be unloaded into elevators at eastern terminals. In other words, wheat for eastern mar ket is actually worth some two cents per bushel more when loose in the car than where sacked, and at some terminals they would not accept sacked grain at all. They are not fixed to handle it and did not wish to be bothered with it." Referring to his article as "some thing of a mutual antique," Mr.. Peck wrote this week that it is per tinent to our present times. Bulk handling of wheat is being urged in the northwest for economical rea sons today just as it was in 1917, he states.
