of Algoma district, Klamath county, shown in inset with her two grandchildren. Due to bursting of a dike,
waters of upper Klamath lake rushed in upon her wheat field, giving rise to the flood scene above. Mrs.
Herlihy's farm home is in the background, flood waters almost upon to the front door. Mrs. Herlihy, who is
a widow and manages her farm alone, received 1009 bushels of wheat from the crop insurance corporation
in payment of the loss.
Thousands of 4-H'ers
Eye State Fair
Upwards of 2000 4-H club mem
bers will attend this year's state
fair, starting on Labor day, Septem
ber 2, as active participants, ac
cording to estimates by the state
club office at Oregon State college.
These will be attending at exhibi

groups or judging teams. While the
4-H dormitory on the grounds ac
commodates only about 500 at a time,
attendance will be staggered thru
out the week so that most of the
clubbers will be housed there.
Major contest interest this year
is centering around the dairy pro
duction and dairy consumption
demonstration teams. State winners
in these contests will be given ex
pense free trip to the National Dairy
show in Harrisburg, Pa., this fall.
Between 700 and 750 4-H club

livestock auction will be held fol
lowing the judging, at which around
250 head of commercial baby beeves,
lambs, and hogs will be sold.
Campus Entrance
Gates Being Installed
Oregon State College Installation
of the new wrought iron campus
gates has been started at the east end
of the lower campus, where it joins
the west end of Madison street. The
huge gates were constructed as a
WPA art project two years ago. The
$1500 needed to install them was
raised by means of a benefit garden
tour held here last spring.
The gates will provide a monu
metal entrance to the campus in
keeping with the size and character
of the institution. Plans call for the
future construction of scenic drives
leading from the gates around either
side of the lower campus and con
necting with the upper campus
streets.
Installation of the gates is ex
pected to be completed soon after
the opening of college this fall.

Wheat. Insurance
Deadline is Aug. 31
Closing date for winter wheat
growers to make application for all
risk insurance on their 1941 crop is
August 31 this year, hence little time
remains for Oregon wheat growers
to obtain this protection, warns N.
C. Donaldson, state AAA executive
officer. The August 31 closing date
is uniform throughout the country
this year and no applications or
premium payments will be accept
ed after that date even though the
crop may not be planted at that
time.
Federal wheat crop insurance has
been gaining in popularity through
out the eastern Oregon wheat grow
ing section, and is this year being
taken by more western Oregon
growers, according to reports re
ceived at the state office. Appli
cations may be made at any county
office, where the transaction can be
completed promptly.
More and more growers now con
sider it good business to protect
their wheat crops with an insurance
contract in order to be sure of some
wheat to sell every year, says Don
oldson. All the care in the world
will not prevent destruction of the
crop at times through hazards be
yond the control of the grower.

Home Garden Hour
Arranged Over KOAC
Plans for the KOAC home garden
hour program for 1940-41 have been
completed and a leaflet listing the
weekly subjects from September to
June, inclusive has just been issued
for free distribution. -These pro
grams are developed in cooperation
with the Oregon Federation of Gar
den Clubs and are conducted under
a study plan by which KOAC gar
don clubs are organized for group
meetings and discussions.
Last year 25 such study groups
were organized, totaling 299 mem
bers located in 12 counties. The
KOAC programs have proved so
popular that they are repeated over
private stations in areas not ade
quately reached by the daytime
KOAC broadcast. Stations cooper
ating in re-broadcasting these pro
grams are KUJ in Walla Walla,
KLBM in La Grande, and KBND in
Bend.
Copies of the program and in
structions for organizing a radio
garden club may be had free by ad
dressing KOAC at Corvallis.

Increased Power
Permit Given KOAC
The long sought improvement of
KOAC, the state-owned radio sta
tion at Corvallis, has been brought
a long step nearer realization thru
the granting by the federal commu
nications commission of the petition
to increase the KOAC power from
1000 watts to 5000 watts daytime
service, according to officials of Or
egon State college, licensee of the
station.
Approval of the power boost opens
the way for the state board of higher
education to make use of the appro
priation made by the 1939 legisla
ture for the construction of a new
and modern transmitter on college
property several miles north of Cor
vallis. The appropriation has been
unused pending action by the com
mission on the long fought effort of
the state station to protect its wave
length and medemize its facilities.
Regarding the wave length, the
commission had previously ruled
that an Arizona station, KOY, would
be permitted to use the 550-kilocy-cle
band, but limited that station
to 1000 watts and promised that "if
objectionable interference should
develop . . . the commission will enter
an order requiring appropriate pro
tection." KOAC engineers submitted four
complete engineering, plans before
all objections of the navy depart
ment and others to the proposed ex
pansion were removed. The plan
accepted calls for a directional an
tenna to protect the Tongue Point
naval base. This design will be a
real benefit to most KOAC listeners,
however, as the daytime signals to
the north, east, and south, where
most of the population is, will be
increased about five times, while
the modern equipment and increas
ed power will also give those to the
west better service than they now
receive, according to the engineers.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Buhman and
children departed Tuesday for Can
by in response to word of the illness
of Mr. Euhman's mother. They ex
pected to remain for a week.
