Official Paper for Morrow County
Forward, March!
Those of us who went wild-goose
chasing after grain fires a few. times
last summer are relieved to learn of
the fine progress being made to
ward perfecting a workable rural
fire-fighting program for the coming
season. The plans proposed are sen
sible and workable, as Director Tib
bies says, not only in wartime em
ergency but in normal times.
It is this kind of conscientious,
sensible planning that will give real
protection, should invasion occur.
It is up to everyone to become as
self proficient as possible. . . That's
the way the Jap soldiers on Hainan
were trained before their treacher
ous attack on Pearl Harbor; and
that's how the small Wake island
force were able to withstand the
overwhelming Nipponese tide for so
long.
At Lions Monday, President J. O.
Turner took the lead in suggesting
a guerilla army for MJorrow county.
That proposal, given sanction by de
fense leaders and Governor Spra
gue himself as it has been carried
out down in Tillamook county, needs
to be considered. There are a lot
of good deer slayers in Morrow
county who have rifles that could
be made good use of should an in
vasion occur. Lots of deerslayers
with rifles do not get enough prac
tice in using them on the one or two
hunts a year. Practicing would not
be amiss, though it only helped to
fill the family larder the next open
season.
Governor Sprague is asking that
some military rating be given the
organized guerilla bands, as reported
this week by our Salem correspon
dent. The rating would be for pro
tection of these soldiers in case of
capture. Military rating would give
them the right of prisoners of war;
otherwise they would be subject to
immediate execution.
Heppner's Boy Scouts are doing a
consistently good job of paper col
lecting, and are entitled to public
recognition for their patriotic hand
ling of this job not at all easy as
they must sort and bale the paper
after it is collected.

Wheat Insurance
For Oregon Sets
Record in 1942
Nearly half of the state's 1942
wheat crop will be protected against
all risks by federal crop insurance,
Clyde Kiddle, crop insurance assist
ant at the state AAA office, has
just announced. Crop insurance will
be in effect on the greatest number
of Oregon farms since its introduc
tion four years ago.
A total of 3802 applications for
insurance have been received, cover
ing 1942 wheat production on 6123
farms 1432 more than last year
Kiddle reported. An estimated pro
duction of over six million bushels
-on nearly 350,000 acres will be cov
ered by crop insurance, he said.
Winter wheat policies were writ
ten last fall for 5576 farms, and ap
plications for spring wheat insur
ance on 547 farms were received in
February, final reports show.
Insurance will be in effect in 26
counties. Umatilla has the largest
number of farms, 1051, covered.
Clackamas county is second with
production insured on 814 farms.
Kiddle credited simplification of
forms, introduction of a convenient
note premium payment plan and a
growing awareness of the protec
tion afforded as reasons for the in
crease. "Everything from birds to bugs
took a bite out of Oregon's 1941
wheat crop," Kiddle said. "Nearly
1,300 claims were paid for 19 causes
of loss, with plant diseases in west
ern Oregon taking the largest toll.
As more growers realize that crop
insurance is protection against all
hazards, more of them are deciding
that they can't afford to be without
it."

Dairy Unit Adds
Income on Large
Umatilla Ranch
Adams. Combining dairying with
wheat and canning peas on the A.
R. and Bill Coppock farm four miles
southeast of here has made it pos
sible for two families to make a good
living where only one did before and
meet their Food for Victory produc
tion goals easily at the same time.
The younger Coppock, Bill, takes
care of the dairy end; and right now
they are milking upwards of 20 cows,
compared to only 8 or 10 that used
to comprise this eastern Oregon
herd. With calves and all, they have
more than 50 head, to which they
feed alfalfa and pea vine hay, pea
vine silage and grain, with the
roughages largely produced on the
farm.
"Fm not in the dairy business be
cause I think it's an easy way to
make money," Bill said recently.
"The cows have paid our way, and
I figure that by keeping livestock
on the place continually, we will be
able to take better care of the land.
Then, fifty years from now, when I
move on, Fll have a farm to leave
to our boy. Sure, straight farming is
easier, but I don't believe we can
hold our soil without livestock; I
don't believe I would have a farm
to leave to anybody after 50 more
years of wheat and peas alone."
The elder Coppock manages the
cash-crop part of the business on
the 456 -acre place, on which the
combination plan was worked out
with assistance of the Soil Conser
vation service.
"I believe livestock fits in very
well with wheat and pea growing,"
he said, "especially with the AAA
diversion running to 20 percent of
the crop acreage next year. We are
able to use the hay and pasture to
produce a return through milk sold.
I know of farmers who plant forage
crops on land diverted from wheat,
take a check from the government
and never make use of the forage
grown. By utilizing the hay and
crested wheatgrass pasture, we re
ally get paid twice!"
The Coppocks reported increased
yields of grass, seed, and alfalfa hay,
through the use of manure.
Help Arranged to Keep
Alien Lands in Crops
The O. S. C. extension service will
provide advisory service in helping
maintain production on farm lands
in Oregon formerly operated by al
iens of enemy countries, according
to an agreement reached at a con
ference of federal and state agencies
concerned.
Maximum production on all farm
lands will be necessary to meet
food-for-victory goals, says W. L.
Teutsch, assistant director of ex
tension. Under the agreement reach
ed the evacuation itself will be
handled by three agncies, the Fed
eral Social Security board, the Farm
Security administration and the
Farm Credit administration. The en
tire program is to be known as the
War-time Adjustment program.
