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

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.

usually so deep that sometimes it
is hard to get out. 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. The
Glenn Fan-ens' have a house on the
Walter Wright ranch to which they
moved several weeks ago.
Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Farrens and

"Star of the East" by the high school.
Two group songs, "It Came Upon
the Midnight Clear," and "O Little
Town of Bethlehem," were sung by
both schools. Delbert Robinson was
Santa Claus and distributed gifts to
the grade school children. 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.

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

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.
