Returns From Crops
Put County in Strong
Financial Condition
If crop returns from Morrow
county farms were divided
equally among the 4.111 persons
credited as living within the
county's boundaries, each per
son would receive $1,397.50 or
thereabouts. This is based on a
summary of agricultural wealth
found in "Agriculture in Ore
gon" just released by the state
department of agriculture under
the editorship of Ervin L. Peter
son, director.
Estimates are made up for
194b largely on the Department
of Agriculture survey of 1945, at
which time a more or less ac
curate report was obtained. It
is more than likely that an in
crease in the county's popula
tion since the cessation of hos
tilities will make per capita fig
ures a little less, for it is es
timated that present population
figures approximate 4500.

Farmers are urged to call at

practices they intend to carry
out for payment this year. The

planned for the day.
AAA farm program coopera
tors are advised that practice
payments for trashy fallow will
not be made in cases where
burning of stubble has been
made on any part of a field
that this practice is carried out
on. The ruling made by AAA
community committeemen who
set up standards for the 1947
program, was felt a necessity if
the practice payment was to be
of the greatest benefit to conservation-minded
farmers.
This practice Is for farm sum
mer fallow protected from wind
or water erosion by incorpora
tion of stubble and straw Into
the surface soil The tillage
must leave the major portion of
the stubble and straw on or
near the surface.
Payments are made at the
rate of $1.00 per acre for leav
ing 1000 pounds or more straw
on the surface; 60 cents for at
least 300 pounds of straw and
35 cents per acre when all straw
is utilized when under 300
pounds per acre.

In closing his address Mr.
Morse issued a word of warning
to his hearers. He said that at
ter what he saw in his six
weeks tour of war-torn Europe
he is convinced that America, to
win her share oi the peace, will
have to pay he war bill. He
pled for a strong America, de
nouncing the efforts of the dem

ment before we have even the
prospect of obtaining a perma

powerful nation from a military
standpoint to help enfoive our
desires for peace, he said. 'There
will be no victors emerge from
