Emergency Wheat Purchase Program Clarified By Baker Details of the emergency wheat purchase program were clarified by Henry Baker, chairman of the County AAA committee who also expressed the appreciation of state famine relief leaders for the ef forts of Morrow county farmers to "sweep out the bins" as their con tribution to the urgent need for wheat to save lives of starving Teople abroad. Because of the desperate need of every kernel of American wheat, the government is asking Oregon farmers to make 750,000 bushels of wheat available for relief shipments by July 1. Recognizing that this goal calls for above-normal mar ketings, and that producers will re duce reserves to the point where they are gambling on the outcome of the 1946 crop, the government is offering a bonus payment of 30 cents a bushel on wheat delivered to Commodity Credit for overseas shipment by May 25. Heppner Gazette Times, May 9, 1 946 5 I Producers who deliver wheat by May 25 may elect to receive pay Jment in several different ways. I -i ner-: op ons a:c: j 1.
