HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, April 5, 1362 Wheat Growers Urged To Check 1962 ASC Status Farmers who may plant wheat for the first time this year or who may be planning to use it for rotation purposes for the first time in several years should chock with the county Agricul tural Stabilization and Conser vation Service office before plant ing, N. C. Anderson, Morrow county extension agent said to day. All wheat grown on farms without 1962 allotments will be subject to penalty, the agent warned. This is a change from ih,. mr.i iwnlntions which al lowed farmers to plant up to 15 acres exempt from marketing quotas, he pointed out. The 15 ,nro oYomntinn was renealed In the last session of Congress. Farms which have received no 1962 allotment and upon which no wheat was grown in 1959, 1960 or 1961 have no marketing quota exemptions and all wheat produced will be declared excess production and subject to a pen alty fine of about $1.54 a bushel, he noted. fhanoo In the regulations particularly affects farmers growing wneat ior mu iui umc or who intend to plant wheat for the first time in several years, he explained. Under the 1962 allotment pro gram, the wheat marketing mmi a pvpmnfinn is the allot ment if it is for 13.5 acres or more. For the smaller producer, the exemption is the allotment or the highest wheat planting in 1959, 1960 or 1961 not to ex ceed 13.5 acres, whichever is larger. If the farm has not 1962 allot ment and if no wheat was plant ed during those three years, the exemption is zero and all wheat grown will be considered excess and subject to penalty. Farmers who have questions about their status in the 1962 wheat program are urged to con tact the county ASC office as soon as possible, the agent said, as the sign-up for the spring wheat program closes March 30.

Novotny of the Veterans Admin istration Regional Office at Port land announced. Interested World War II and Korean Period veterans are in vited to write to the romana VA office, 208 S .W. Fifth Avenue, to secure a place on the waiting list. These applications by letter are considered in the order in which they are received, and those making early request may expect to receive formal appli cation forms in May.

Court Street Market How a Shell research team got 168.47 miles per gallon Hi it ; " .w i i r-1 I . . 1 ifVffsl f . VV ! A Shell research team drove this car to a Mileage Marathon record. Wiey used the same Shell fuel that could be bought at Shell stations.. 168 miles per gallon must be a world record. Here's how the record was made and how a quiet marriage of careful driving and today's Super Shell can help you get better mileage. Some years ago, a group of Shell scicn i tists had a friendly argument.The gist of it: who could get the most miles from a gallonofgasoline.Theydeeidedtofindout. And Shell's Mileage Marathon was born. All contestants had to use the same gas oline anybody could buy at a Shell station. Beyond that, the Marathon had few rules. And ingenuity ran wild. How the record was set I lere are some of the things that Dave Deny and Fred Sclniette, the winning team, did to set their record. None are recommended for informal marathons. But they do oiler a few clues on how to get more miles per gallon. Berry and Schuette removed their en gine cooling fan to save power and muf fled their radiator to retain heat. They used tires worn smooth and pumped up to 50 pounds pressure to cut rolling friction to a minimum. On the road, they accelerated to 20 miles per hour, cut the ignition and rolled until speed dropped to 5 miles per hour. Then they repeated the cycle. note: they used a standard carburetor from an old one-cylinder engine. Since "on-and-off" driving is illegal on public roads-and since most Marathon modifications are dangerous for normal use-you may wonder if Shell's Mileage Marathon had any point. Indeed it did. In the months of prepa rations, every contestant learned a bit more about the care and feeding of auto mobiles. Knowledge of this sort gets passed along to you in the form of better Shell products for your car. example: As a result of Shell's re search studies, including many mile age tests, one of the 9 ingredients in today's Super Shell is a mileage booster called Platformate. Tin's in gredient alone can release up to 8 per cent more energy per gallon than the jinest 100-octane aviation gasoline. Result: extra mileage. To help boost mileage even more, follow these driving tips from Berry and Schuette. How you can save gasoline 1. Don't race your engine when standing still. Unnecessary engine speed is pure waste and takes vou nowhere. 2. Avoid jackrabbit starts. Fast getaways waste gasoline and power. 3. Drive at moderate speeds. Your car uses about 25 percent more gasoline at 65 mph than at 45 mph. 4. Keep an even speed. Ragged driving uses extra fuel without taking full ad vantage of the power it could generate. 5. Pace yourself in traffic. Don't be the fastest or the slowest. You'll just be trapped into wasteful spurts and slowdowns, - 6. Keep tires up to their proper pressure. Soft tires can soak up power. 7. Ask your Shell dealer about these checks: Spark timing should be set cor rectly. Fuel filters and air cleaner should be cleaned regularly. Brakes should be properly adjusted. And your cooling sys tem thermostat must work right, Motorists who follow these rules, and use Super Shell, can expect good mileage, Chances are, you can improve the mileage you are now getting.
