ATEq.I 0 Jo VOLUME XXVIII Ole Hrrmigfu Hrraln NUMBER 19 ALL COUNTIES WILL JOIN IN CORN-HOG ADJUSTMENT PLAN EXTENSION SERVICE READY TO AID IN ORGANIZATION. Special Agents for Counties Main taining No County Agent; Dairymen Next in Line. Now that the five regional Oregon conferences on the corn-hog adjust- tient plan have been held, county agents are preparing to launch the educational and organization cam paign In every county where they are now maintained. The preliminary board of review for Oregon has been appointed alrea dy by Paul V. Maris, director of the Oregon State college extension ser vice, which is again charged with the task of explaining the plan to Oregon farmers arid helping them organize to obtain Its benefits. This board, headed by L. R. Breithaupt, extension economist, has announced that organizations will be allowed in every county even though only a few growers qualify for the benefit payments. No provision has been made by the AAA for hiring emergency agents in this campaign for counties in Oregon that maintain no regular county agents, hence farmers in such counties will be put to more trouble in setting up their organiza- tiens. The extension service is of fering to supply information and give any aid possible to farmers from these counties that can come to Corvallis for such help. A some O o what similar situation Is foreseen with the coming dairy adjustment rogram. Estimates sent out from Washing ton place the possible corn benefit payments for Oregon at about $123, 000, and the hog benefit payments at 1750,000. This compares with >2,777,000 which will come to this state from the first year’s operation of the wheat adjustment plan. Definite announcement has now 1 een made that application of a pro- duction control plan to dairy pro- ducts is imminent, details of which be announced from Washington any day. Just what form it will take is still uncertain, but the De- ■mber break In butter prices, coup led with the steadily mounting sur- ( plus was followed by announcement co from Secretary Wallace that a pro duction control plan will be launch- rosed almost immediately. 1 Conferences on the daily situation 2 have marked the holiday period at < one of which the possibility of com- - Lining the dairy program with simi- ' lar aid for the beef producers was considered, as both Industries are in serious economic conditions at pres- ent. Livestock are expected to be added to the basic commodity list in the farm act at the forthcoming session of congress. Announcement of a pending dairy control plan follows a change in the head of the dairy section of the AA A. J. H. Mason, general manager of the DesMoines Cooperative Dairy Marketing association, succeeds Dr. Clyde L. King in this position. A later significant development is that the big Chicago milk market ing agreement, the first one comple ted under the AAA last summer, has been abandoned at the request of 75 per cent of those Included In it. This failure Is believed to have strength ened determination of the AAA offi cials to launch dairy production con trol at once. Anyone who is Interested and will qualify under either the corn or hog section of this plan, may leave their names with Assistant County Agent Best, and they will be notified of the first meeting.

SCHOOL NOTES The Torch Honor society gave a □arty Thursday evening, December 28, in the auditorium, honoring alumni members of the organization. Dancing, Carron, and cards were the diversion of the evening for a group of about forty who attended. Dur ing the evening punch and waters were served. Five new students enrolled in school on January 3. They are Har old Rainwater, sophomore, from Ra- iler, Oregon; Patricia Colpitts, first trade, from Stanfield; Gall Martin, fifth, Stanfield; Leota Cherry, fifth, and Orville Cherry, sixth grade, from California. Supt. R. H. McAtee attended the )regon State Teachers Association .neeting held In Portland December 27, 28, and 29. He stated that the group went down on record favoring the proposed sales tax, the proceeds of which would be used for school purposes alone. This sales tax would reduce the school tax on gen eral property over 30%; or in other words, the amount secured by the sales tax would be deducted from he school tax on general property, ly this plan the school would have ash instead of credit to pay expen es. One of the highlights of the neeting was an address by Professor lart of the University of California, vho revealed some of the findings f a commission on the racketeering n Chicago public school system. He stated that the discrepancies fall into three divisions, namely: an ob- olete tax system eighty five years ld, tax racketeering, and tax rebel- Ion. They are under one main head namely, civil complacency. Many of Chicago’s well to do citizens have een parties to these evils because hey have made large profits. Thus 'he schools have suffered greatly. At the December meeting of P.T. A., plans were laid for serving het lunches at the school every noon as n previous years. Mrs. W. L. Hamm, □resident, appointed the following ommittee to have general charge of he lunches: Mrs. C. M. Jackson, Mrs. Curtis Simons, Mrs. M. L. Wat- on, Miss Johnston, and Miss Buck. The committee will meet this week and make more definite arrange- nents. To date several have applied for the job of preparing the food, but no one has been selected yet. Many parents and friends of stu- lents have made voluntary dona- .Ions. There is still an opportuni- y for any who still wish to help, to notify Mr. McAtee. Henry Harger, debate coach, has outlined plans tor debate work on he conference question which is: Resolved, that the essential princi ples of the British broadcasting sys tem should be adopted by the United States." In addition to those who took part in a practice debate with Milton. several others have turned out.
