FSA Will Finance
Food for Defense
Farm Security loans in Morrow
county are being concentrated on
financing of sound expansion of dai
ry, hog, poultry, feed crops and gar
den enterprises to aid FSA borrow
ers and disadvantaged farm families
m meeting the "Food for Freedom"
quotas set up by the county agri
cultural defense board, reports Bruce
Stewart, county. FSA supervisor,
Heppner.
"Every effort will be made to help
farmers unable to secure adequate
credit from other sources to pur
chase the cows, hogs, poultry, seed,
feed and equipment necesary to
place their farms on an all-out de
fense production basis," Stewart
said. "Where facilities for defense
food expansion are available, farm
ers will not only be able to add to
their incomes but prevent inflation
by producing ood for which there
is increased dmand."
Modificationb of the neutrality act,
making American ships available for
carrying food to Britain, is expected
to substantially increase present de
mand for defense foods, it was point
ed out. Another important consid
eration, said Stewart, "is the fact
that the machinery for supporting
defense food prices, crop controls
and need for feeding Europe and
replacing breeding herds after the
war, minimizes possibilities of a
post-war slump in farm prices.
"FSA families are also planning
to increase food production through
machinery cooperatives, better sires,
improved daily and poultry prac
tices, increased feed crops and ex
panded live-at-home program for
meeting family food needs. All farm
plans now being revised for the com
ing year will consider food for free
dom AAA work sheets as one of the
most important steps in doing their
part for national defense."

cialist of Pendleton will be at the

CROP INSURANCE
HEADED FOR BIG
YEAR IN OREGON
Expanding each year since its in
troduction in Oregon in 1939, federal
all-risk wheat crop insurance is
headed for its greatest volume in
1942, from the standpoint of number
of farms covered by policies, ac
cording to Clyde Kiddle, crop insur
ance assistant with the state AAA
office.
Applications for insurance on win
ter wheat have been received from
5563 farms. Spring wheat policies
are yet to be written, the closing I
date being February 28. For the
1942 crop year, 4691 policies were in
force for both winter and spring
wheat.
The loss record for 1941 presents
a sharply contrasting picture be
tween eastern and western Oregon,
Kiddle reports. Of the 1228 loss
claims paid up to November 15, only
122 came from the nine Columbia
basin wheat counties. Most of the
losses were reported in the Willam
ette valley, where insects and plant
diseases hit many farms. Hail and
excessive moisture led as the causes
of eastern Oregon losses.
Nearly every kind of crop hazard
is represented in the losses paid
so far. Percentages of the total in
demnities paid for each cause of loss
were given as follows:
Plant diseases, 29.2 per cent; ex
cessive moisture, 18.2 per cent; in
sects, 16.9 per cent hail, 9.9 per cent;
drought, 8.4 per cent; frost, 5.6 per
cent weeds, 2.5 per cent volunteer
vegetation, 2.5 per cent; migratory
birds, 1.4 per cent; rodents, 1.2 per
cent winter kill, 1.1 per cent; fire,
1 per cent crusting, .7 per cent;
wind, .5 per cent; flood, .4 per cent;
lack of irrigation water, .3 per cent;
stray stock, .1 per cent; poor farm
ing practices, .1 per cent; dust
storms. .05 per cent.

Righr-of-Way Rules
Reviewed for Safety
Few rules of the road are less un
derstood or more misunderstood
than those having to do with right-of-way
according to the legal de
partment of the Oregon State Mo
tor association.
Pointing out that many accidents
are caused by motorists who have
either a vague or mistaken idea
concerning right-of-way rules, the
motorists' organization presented the
following summary of provisions of
the vehicle code on the subject:
Drivers, when approaching high
way intersections, shall look out
for and give right of way to vehicles
on the right, simultaneously ap
proaching a given point, whether
such vehicle first enters or reaches
the intersection or not; provided,
that the foregoing provisions shall
not apply at any intersection where
and when traffic is controlled by
traffic control signals or police of
ficers. Any driver entering an intersec
tion at an unlawful speed shall for
feit any right of way which he would
otherwise have under this rule.
When intending to turn left, the
driver must give a proper arm signal
continuously for the last fifty feet
before turning, but the actual turn
must not be made until it can be
done with reasonable safety. The
person turning must yield the right-of-way
to all oncoming traffic with
in the intersection or so close as to
constitute an immediate hazard.
Thereafter the driver may proceed to
make the turn, and oncoming traffic
approaching the intersection must
permit the turning car to proceed.
Upon entering an arterial or
through highway, the driver must
first stop and yield the right-of-way
to all traffic immediately approach
ing. Thereafter he may proceed and
all vehicles approaching the inter-

towns throughout America are
becoming partners with G.E. in
helping speed the national defense
program.

Drivers entering public highways
from private roads or driveways have
no right-of-way, but must wait un

Pedestrians have the right-of-way

their safety remains an obligation of
the motorist.
