crashed into a telegraph pole with such force that the car was almost
broken in two. He was dead when help arrived. National Conservation

of the road, never to look directly into headlights and molt impor

Steen Praises Air
Travel For Farms
As Meeting Nears
The skyways rather than the
highways appeal to Harold
Steen, Milton, president of the
Oregon Flying Farmers associ
ation, as the best way to get
from eastern to western Oregon,
he remarked after flying to Cor
vallis recently to make final ar
rangements for the state conven
tion there August 24 to 26.
Steen, who flew down the Col
umbia in a small plane, making
only one stop at The Dalles en
roll! e. said he considered the
trip safer than driving over the
tortuous curves of the Columbia
highway, and more economical,
as he used only 12 gallons of
gas for the trip, while saving
many hours of time.
1'inal plans for the conven
tion as worked out with W. L.
Teutsch, assistant director of ex
tension and college adviser to
the association officers, call for
a busy program of business, dis
cussions, demonstrations and an
annual banquet scheduled for
Monday night.
The flying farmer visitors will
also be taken on a conducted
tour of parts of the experiment
station fnd will see motion pic
tures pi the first tri state organ
ization meeting last year in
Spokane. Meetings ,are open to
those contemplating use of air
planes on farms as well as those
already using them.
President Steen hopes to have
the membership nearly doubled
by the time the convention is
over, although some 75 or more
are already enrolled. Other of
ficers are I.ee Holliday, Klam
ath Falls, vice-president; Gar
land Swanson, lone, secretary
treasurer; Gordon Gribling, El
gin; Carey Strome, JuiTCtion
City; Palmer Torvend, Hillsboro.
and Worth Wiley, Dayton, directors.
