In the forenoon general rie Rural problems were discussed th County Agricultural Agent is. Smith and E. R. Jackman of • S.C., as leaders.

After elec- ion the new president took charge the meeting and many grange oblems were talked over. Chas. Wicklander, state deputy, was prés ent and made very helpful sugges- tions. After a thorough discussion of t he butter code and talks by grange members who have been attending meetings and gathered all available information on this above subject, the council decided they would not a cept Max Gehlar’s views as final, At 8:00 p. m., the lecture hour program was begun by all uniting In singing “Old Black Joe,” Mrs. Hilda Timm as song leader and Mrs. Connie Crawford at the piano. Next was the reading of “The Gleaner”, a paper prepared by “The Grange Oracle”, which was full of interest Ing bits of information, news, jokes and jibes. This was read by Viola Ingelman. A splendid talk on grange man- agement of pastures was given by R. Jackman, Agronomist at O.S.C. Mr. Jackman recommended crested wheat grass highly for dry land pastures. Next was a vocal solo, "Mountain Melody”, by Donald Heliker, accom- panied at the piano by Connie Craw ford. The last number on the pro- gram was a mock trial, “Robbing the Soil”, where J. O.

About eighty grangers and visi- tors attended the program. At the regular grange meeting two names were balloted upon and more new names were read. Plans are now being made for the County Pomona meeting which will be held at Cecil on April 7th. Home Conference Biggest Yet. CORVALLIS—The fourth annual Homemakers’ conference at Oregon State college the first week in March was the largest yet held, with women present from at least half the counties of the state. A widely varied program was carried through resulting In better coordination of home betterment work for the com ing year by all agencies concerned. The conference is sponsored annual ly by the school of home economic*. Old Grads to Hold Reunion. CORVALLIS— Members of th* 1909 class of O.S.C. will be the “sil ver jubilee" class at the coming June commencement, and graduates in this group are already making plans for their 25-year reunion. Members of the class from Albany, Newport and this eity have arranged to send out the call to the »0 per cent of the class still living, but now scattered throughout this and foreign lands. Yearly dues of the Association’are due March 1st of each year, and there is allowed 60 days thereafter to make payment. The amount Is only 31.00 per year, and carries with it a paid-up subscription to the Hermiston Herald for one year. and the privilege of trading with the Farm Bureau Co-op, which Is a separate organization.

Another Hog reduction contract meeting was held Wednesday in the city library and another meeting will be held Friday at the same place from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m., to complete as many contracts as possible.

All the members who have joined the Grange in the past few months are especially requested to be present for the initiation. The Cold Springs is known as one of the best in the county in present ing the initiatory work and have ac cepted the invitation to present the work for the Stanfield Grange. LADIES OF FARM BUREAU AUX. WOULD SPONSOR CLEAN-UP At the last meeting of the Farm Bureau Auxiliary the topic for dis cussion was “civic beauty,” and Mrs. J. H. Reid read a paper urging the opening of a campaign for a clean-up. In her paper Mrs. Reid stated that “the best future of the U. S. lies, not in the great industrial cen- ters. but in the smaller towns and country districts.” She continued by saying, "We need more parks and play ground improvements for rec reation and health of the people. These may be ours If we work toge ther. No need of dreary Isolation, lack of comforts and conveniences and things that make for the joy of living.” Mrs. Reid urged that farmers paint their houses and buildings, and pointed out that "It’s use may easily double the life of buildings and is therefore an important econ omy.” She also pointed out that the annual depreciation loss in this and other states runs into many thous ands of dollars because farmers fail to appreciate the declining value of farm homes and farm yard build ings when painting is neglected. The yearly decline in value is said to be as much as 4% and often more, Mrs. Reid said. Following Mrs. Reid’s talk it was announced that the next regu lar meeting would be held Friday, March 16, with Mrs. Clark, Mrs. O. Wells, Mrs. E. Wells and Mrs. He- bert acting on the committee. CONCLUSIONS ARE OFFERED IN QUARTERLY BULLETIN. “The Influence of Bees Upon Clo ver and Alfalfa Production” is a subject discussed In the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station Quarterly Bulletin. Vol. 14, No. 4. These studies reported upon by E. R. Magee, and R. H. Kelty clearly show the Im portan ce of pollination of clover and alfalfa by the honey bee. The following conclusions are offered. 1. Small insects, such as bug* (Hemiptera). and files (Diptera), that are present in large numbers In clover and alfalfa fields appar ently do not serve as pollinating agents and are of little or no value In contributing to the setting of pods snd seeds. 2. Bumble bees are effective pol linating agents, but, due to their relative scarcity In the clover and alfalfa seed producing districts of northern Michigan cannot be de pended on for pollination purposes. 3. The honey bee was found to be * very effective pollinating agent for June and Alsike clovers and for alfalfa. The presence of large num ber* of bees resulted in marked in creases in the seed crop of these le- gurnet. , Oregon farmers with an estimated amount of wheat totalling 179,834 acres are once more eligible to join in the wheat production control pro gram of the government and receive allotments on which benefit pay ments will be made for the next two years unless the wheat price reaches parity, as a result of the reopening of the three-year wheat control pro gram recently announced by Secre tary Wallace. Oregon is among the states with a large signup in the regular cam paign, getting 82 per cent of the 1,027,000 acres that make up the base average amount seeded annual ly from 1930 to 1932. Most of the unsigned acreage in this state is in relatively small holdings in the di versified farming districts west of the Cascades, according to the Ore gon State college extension service. In reopening the campaign the AAA officials say they have received so many requests from growers that they be given a second chance that It Is believed a large additional signup will be had, especially east of the Mississippi river. The per centage of signup is given as 78 per cent for the country as a whole. The new signers will receive the same future benefits that original signers received, but will not get the first payment of 20 {cents a bushel on their allotments such as have already been made to early signers. Signup of additional wheat growers may start at once, though there will be no new campaign. Those who desire to join will go to their county wheat control associa tion where old blanks are being adapted for the new use. “The allotment plan provides a measure of crop insurance and price insurance,” points out Chester C. Davis, administrator of the farm act. Contract signers are assured of their allotment payments even though the crop is a failure. The wheat contract calls for making full adjustment payments on the 1934 and 1935 crops, if prices on these crops do not reach parity. The payment already made, and the re- maining one of 8 cents a bushel less local administrative costs, are for the 1933 crop.” New signers will be eligible for this remaining 1933 payment but they will have to eliminate any ex- cess seeded acreage above the 85 per cent of past production allowed in the contract covering the 1934 crop. The method of bringing this excess acreage down is left to the Individual, but it must be accom plished in advance of the pre-har vest inspection. Average farm price of wheat in January was 69.4 cents a bushel, while the parity price as computed by the government, needed to give farmers a fair exchange value, was $1.02 % cents a bushel. The government reports that oth- er wheat exporting countries are taking steps to comply with the In ternational reduction agreement, and that the United States will take whatever action is necessary to make the 15 per cent reduction this country agreed to.
