Heppner Gazette Times, July 20, 1944 3 and Utah have notifieid officials of the Oregon Wool Growers associa tion that they will consign rams to the 18th annual Oregon ram sale, to be held in Fendletton August 18. Breeds represented by these con signors are Hampshire, Suffolk, Rambouillet, Lincoln, Cotswold and Suffolk crossbreds. Walter Holt, secretary to the association and Umatilla county agent, says that the number of rams in the north west has been substantially reduc ed, making such auction sales as this one at Pendleton unusually im portant, this year as a source of breeding stock. Art Thompson, widely known as one of the outstanding livestock auctioneers in America, is coming to Pendleton from Lincoln, ,Neb., to handle the sale again. The rams will be offered singly and in pens. DETAILS ON HIGHER WHEAT LOAN RATES SENT OFFICES Increase in wheat loan rates for the 1944 crop announced by the Commodity Credit Corporation makes the basic price at Portland $1.46 for No. 1 grade. The state AAA office has distributed to all county offices a comlete schedule of rates for shipping points through out the state. The rates range from $1.18.9 at Burns to $1.38.1 at Hillsboro, vary ing according to shipping and hand ling costs in relation to Portland. A few southern Oregon points are based on San Francisco, which af fords a higher rate than the Port land base at their distances. The increase in the wheat rates amounts to 7 cents per bushel and places the loan level at 90 per cent parity instead of the previous 85 percent. FARM LUMBER ALLOCATED Allocation of lumber to Oregon counties (for farm use has been made by the state AAA office, which has been informed by na tional officials that the situation is "tighter" than ever before. The amounts allocated will be distri buted by the county committees to applicants purely on the basis of need, as in the past, according to R. B. Taylor, state AAA chairman.

Seems strange writing from France, but I want to thank the Gazette Times for the "morale lifter" they are sending. Some are a few weeks old, but I am not complaining, for news is news, especially from home. I hope that the rest of the fellows enjoy it as much as I do. I can't divulge our part in the Campaign but I can say that we have been complimented very high ly for the first 15 days of our ex termination of the Nazis from a pretty country. The only difficulty we have is trying to understand the French language. That soon was overcome by learning a bunch of hand signals. Sometimes you make out okay and sometimes not so good. The country itself is pretty badly battle scarred (that that I've seen) so a fellow can't pass a very good verdict on the type of place it really is. Well, as you've probably heard, the battle front is about the hard est place to locate any news except for a few shells dropping hither and yon and a plane coming around to strafe once in awhile, life gets dull along with the excitement. This being all I am able to scrape together to write, I wiil close, thanking you again. Sincerely yours, TSgt. STANLEY A. WAY. Irrigon News Notes By MBS. J. A.
