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.

Democratic Candidate for Congress
OREGON VOTER (State political weekly) April 18
"Charles H. Mack. Klamath county assessor, may win
the nomination away from the 'unbeatable' Pierce" . . .
"His fine record in county office is so well known among
assessors elsewhere that his fame will be spread with
enthusiasm" . . . "It is refreshing to note his courage, in
dependence and enterprise."
KLAMATH BASIN PROGRESS (Democratic) April 3
"Charlie is no spell-binder or rabble rouser, but he is a
clear thinker and good fighter and is politically am
bitious, and he would not let himself or the district he
represents fall into a position of obscurity back in
Washington."
KLAMATH HERALD AND NEWS (Ind.-Rep.) April 1
"Mack represents the clean type of younger men needed
in public office. He has a record of public service, and
of interest and work in public and civic affairs, that
make him a candidate of which his home county may
well be proud as he tries for high office."
'CHARLES V. GALLOWAY, Chairman State Tax
Commission, Feb. 11
"Now that you have decided to quit assessing for other
work I want to express my sincere appreciation of our
ever pleasant and helpful association of the last seven
years. During 23 years as a member of the State Tax
Commission I have worked with many County Assessors
and, for all around ability and efficiency, no one of them
takes rank above you."
The statement of Charles V. Galloway was made In a personal letter to Mr
Mack, dated Feb. 11, 1942 when his announcement was made thnt he would

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.
