Wheat Quotas Seen as Conservation Measure Wheatless acres do not necessar ily mean idle acres but rather land released for growing vital food -for -freedom crops, Oregon farmers were reminded today by state USDA war board spokesmen on the eve of the May 2 wheat market quota refer endum. In addition to the sustained price and other direct marketing benefits to come from continuation of the AAA quotas, they pointed out, there are the profitable advantages of di versification on soil, where this is possible, and growing feed, food, and seed crops currently in demand. Of tentimes, as shown by experiences of farmers following soil conserva tion practices, land that no longer produces paying wheat crops does yield high returns in hay, pasture, or seed crops from grass and leg umes. More and better pasture for dairy and beef animals, relief of range lands through the growing of this additional supplemental feed, and conserving of Oregons best land for production of needed crops, were some of the advantages listed for wheat acreage control.

Woodruff, Chairman Crop Insurance to Run 3 Years in New Plan Three-year crop insurance and a more simple premium rate plan de signed to give the grower additional advantages will be new features of 1943 federal all-risk wheat crop in surance in Oregon, the state AAA office has anounced. Oregon growers who insure their 1943 wheat crop will automatically have insurance on their 1944 and 1945 crops also, Clyde Kiddle, crop insurance assistant at the state AAA office, explained. At any time dur ing the life of the three-year con tract, however, if the yield on the farm is changed to the advantage of the grower, he may cancel his in surance and enter into a new con tract. This plan will put crop insurance on a basis similar to other types of insurance in determining premium rates, Kiddle pointed out. A grower who knows his average yield will be able to determine his own premium rate. Incidental differences in rates will be eliminatd, and all farms with the same average yields will be placed on an equitable basis. With contracts written for 6098 farms, nearly half of the state's 1942 wheat crop is covered by insurance this year. wedding of Guy Moore, brother of Mrs. Knighten and Mr. Mpore, at Athena, Saturday.
