By Sophronia Rhea
The Durant sedan belonging to
H. O. Thompson of Umatilla, was
destroyed by fire last week while
he was fishing on the Deschutes
river near Bend, Ore. Mr. Thomp
son, in company with O. W. Payne
of Hermiston and Lloyd Russell of
Boardman, were fishing and had
left the car along the bank of the
river while they fished the stream,
and were gone about an hour to re-
turn and find the car completely
burned, A short in the engine was
given as the cause of the fire. The
men lost three suitcases filled with
personal effects and considerable
fishing equipment.
They had motored to Bend to at-
tend the Presbytery for that district
and were doing a little fishing be
fore the session opened. They re
turned home with Rev. Robert Wei-

DAIRY INDUSTRY PLAN
SHELVED DY NATIONAL
AAA OFFICIALS
DIVIDED
SENTIMENT AMONG
DAIRYMEN CAUSE.
Majority of National Dairymen Must
Agree Before Relief Through
AAA IS OBTAINED.
Divided sentiment in the dairy
industry nationally has caused the
administration to abandon its plan
of putting into effect a benefit pay
ment plan of production control, ex
tension officials at Oregon State col
lege have been notified. The decision
followed study of the reports from
the 15 regional dairy conferences
held throughout the country.
Abandonment of the proposed
plan for the present at least is in
line with the fixed policy of the
AAA not to attempt adjustment pro
grams without the expressed sup
port of a substantial majority of the
industry, the announcement sets
sets out.
A limited program of diseased cat
tle reduction and relief purchases
financed by funds made available by
congress may be carried out. The
present policy of milk marketing
agreements will also be continued,
but no general control plan will be
instituted until the industry as à
whole is more nearly agreed on such
a program.
The Pacifie Northwest gave strong
support to the proposed adjustment
plan and may petition that certain
portions of it be made effective in
this territory, according to Dean
Wm. A. Schoenfeld of 0.8.C., who
presided as chairman at the Port
land regional meeting.
“On hearing, of the decision of the
Washington officials Dean Schoen-
told said it is a matter of great re
gret that other areas did not see fit
to collaborate. It is the belief of
leaders here that certain phases of
the plan applied locally in the Pa
cific northwest would be preferable
to leave the situation drift, although
the opinion is held here that the en
tire plan should be put into effect
nationally.
While the Oregon, Washington and
Idaho dairymen were strong in their
support of the program with minor
modifications, reports from many
other regional meetings show that
the dairy industry is sharply divided
over the proposed plan. Organized
opposition was encountered in many
of the regional meetings where both
the private and cooperative distri
butors opposed proposals for cutting
down sales, preferring some plan of
government encouraging sales pro
motion.
This was substantially the posi
tion taken at the California meeting,
reports W. A. Lloyd, in charge of
extension work In the western
states, who was with the federal
party at Berkeley. The delegates
from Nevada, though few in number,
supported the proposed AAA plan,
he said.
