Many times farmers are crit
icised by towns and city people
because of agricultural support
programs. This Is particularly
rue with the wheat farmer be
cause of the large quantities of
wheat being stored. While many
years farmers take out loans on
wheat they sell It at a higher
market price liquidating this
loan. Regular Interest rates are
paid to the Commodity Credit
Corporation for loaning them the
money on the grain. This year
there will be only a small per
cent of wheat and barley under
loan taken over by Commodity
Credit Corporation as farmers
have sold on the market much
of this loan grain by this time.
These same non-farm people
should know that millions of dol
lars worth of agricultural com
modities acquired by the Com
modity Credit Corporation under
price support programs are ex
changed for strategic and other
materials. Barter contracts val
ued at $15.2 million were neg
otiated by CCC in the July-September,
1960 quarter, compared
to $04.9 million in the preceed-
ing quarter and $34.4 million

Rainfall records received at
the office for the month of Dec.
showed that generally all com
munities have received about
three-quarters of an Inch even
though some of It is In small
amounts which would do little
good. I think that everyone
should be quite thankful that
the rains that came last week
didn't do as they did In Sher

Canyon into Wasco last Saturday
morning thousands and thou
sands of tons of soil had been
washed from wheat fields In
Sherman county with a heavy
rain that fell on frozen ground,
Many people In Morrow county
were holding their breath in fear
that just such a situation would
occur here.
We have had a great amount
of response to the news item in
last weeks column reminding
farmers that the 1961 tax guide
was now available here. While
many farmers have picked up
this helpful bulletin during the
last week we have many more
copies available.
At this time of the year we
have many calls at the office
for Information on pruning of
trees. Fruit and shade trees can
be pruned now keeping in mind
that each serve a different pur
pose and pruning should be done
accordingly. Very little pruning
should be done on shade trees,
limited only to their shape and
the possibility that they might
be getting into telephone or elec
tric wires.
Serving the purpose as a shade
tree, the more growth the better.
With fruit trees they should be
opened up in the center so that
the sun can get In, ripening the
fruit and getting rid of excess
branches that provide foliage
only instead of putting this
growth to production of fruit
There are many who ask about
the pruning of ornamental trees.
While ornamentals are not nor
mally pruned heavily, if at all,
now Is a good time to do that
which may be necessary.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR
HOME COMFORT DOLLAR
GO FARTHER!
To save on your home heating, be sure that win
dows and doors are weather-stripped, and that your
house is insulated. This keeps heat from leaking out
of the house.
Keep your refrigerator and your freezer defrosted.
By keeping the frost thickness less than an eighth
of an inch, you can reduce the running time of these
two important electric appliances.
Tlan meals to utilize your electric oven for more
than one item at a time, thus making it do double or
triple duty. ,
You will save on hot water if you do your washing
only when you have at least one full load of clothes.
These are just a few of the ways you get your biggest
value from dependable PP&L electric service. Use it
often, use it efficiently. Live better electrically.
