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. Immediate settlement at the
current marlfet price, plus the 30
cent bonus.
2. Immediate receipt of the bo
nus by draft from the county of
fice, with current market price
proceeds received at a later date.
3. Speculation on the market date
for settlement to be selected at any
time before April 1, 1947, with bo
nus received at once or with pro
ceeds of sale.
4. Settlement on market price on
March 31, 1947, with bonus re
ceived with proceeds of sale.
Steps to be taken by the produ
cer were given as follows:
1. In all cases, except warehouse
stored wheat under CCC loan, the
producer and warehouseman where
the wheat is stored or where it will
be delivered execute a delivery re
ceipt, 2. The producer takes the deliv
ery receipt to the county AAA of
fice for preparation of the contract
of sale and settlement under way

MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO Oregon Grangers
started state-wide morement for improved standards
In the production, grading and marketing of farm
products. This resulted, in 1931, ia a consolidation of
ffaa various agricultural agencies under one jurisdiot
lion the State Department of Agriculture.
Everyone benefited: farmers because they wert,
assured of more satisfactory returns for their invest
mem and labor; the public because they were assured of
quality and honest value in the products they bought
Projects of this nature are as vital a part of Grange
activities as better agriculture itself. That is why
28,000 progressiva farmers belong to the Oregon
State Grange why membership continues to grow
why the Grange is a dominant force for social progress.
