The all day Grange committee

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

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. Kincaid, far
mer in Ione vicinity, was on trial,
used of having committed the
a' ove named crime. The following
persons from various parts of the
county participated in this mock

tuberculin tests which are being giv-
en in the state at present, and will
be started in this county in the near

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

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

Hog Contract Meeting.
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. The government has not
yet set the closing date but has In
structed county agents to get ali
contracts completed as soon as pos
sible, says Garnet D. Best, assistant
county agent stationed here.
STANFIELD GRANGE WILL
INITIATE MARCH 17TH.
Members of the Cold Springs
Grange will exemplify the third and
fourth degrees for the Stanfield
Grange at Its meeting Saturday,
March 17. 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.
