Tn a series of meetings in central and southern Grewon everv grower attendine oimnea up again with the exception of one. Considerable misunderstanding con- cernine the new provisions exists ana is keening manv awav from the sien-nn meetings, reports indicate. Many believe that further reduction below the number of hoes produced for market In 1934 is required in the new contracts, when Just the oppo site is true. The 1935 contracts reallv call for "controlled expansion" as the grow- er mav nroduce 15 percent more of his established hog base than was allowed last year. Tn other words he is permitted to produce and mar ket up to 90 per cent of his base in stead of 75 per cent. Furthermore, because of excessive ly low production in some counties last year, some growers could dou ble their hog production of last year and still stay within the contract limits and collect the benefit pay ments at the rate of $15 per head for the number represented by the 10 per cent reduction. Other liberal features this year include permission to purchase and raise as many feeder pigs as desired, removal of limit on total crop acre age or livestock numbers, and in the case of corn contracts, permission to grow anything but corn on the con tracted or "shifted” acres.

CASTEEL CAPABLE CLERK SAYS “TIMES” CASTEEL MAY THROW HAT IN STATE POLITICAL POT. Early Prediction Says Ear! Snell May Try For Office of Governor. (From the Freewater Times) With the recently elected new ad ministrative officials just now fa miliarizing themselves with their duties, it appears a long time until the electoral of Oregon need worry relative to their successors, but four years pass quickly and while the democratic party was successful in electing General Martin to the gov ernorship, it is doubtful whether Mr. Martin, on account of his age, will care to continue longer than one term in office and of course the peo ple of this state will have something to say relative to this, If he does aspire to re-election. Many feel that had Earl Snell sought the governorship, instead of secretary of state, he would now be our governor. It has been conclusi vely shown that he is extremely pop ular with the people, and we are confident he will so efficiently con duct this office, he will continue to merit the confidence of the citizens of Oregon so well, they will insist he become a candidate for governor in 1938. If this prediction comes to pass, the republican party will need a strong candidate to succeed Mr. Snell and while we do not pose as prognosticators of political events, we did predict early in 1932 that Earl Snell would be a candidate for secretary of state, and ‘that he would be elected. We are now thinking of a worthy successor to Mr. Snell, In the event he becomes a candidate for governor In 1938. and have in mind a man in Umatilla county, who has been a resident for many years—a man who has shown fine capabilities In administering the office to which he was appointed by the county court and elected in 193 2 by one of the largest majorities polled lb the county, Elbert B. Casteel, ceinty clerk, of Pendleton. The above opinion, we believe Is shared by the majority of people In this county, and this announcement, no doubt will come to Mr. Casteel as a complete surprise to him at this early date, but we are well enough acquainted with him. to know that he has the capacity and capabilities to serve Oregon as secretary of state with satisfaction and credit to not only himself, but the state as • whole. Mr. Casteel is considered one of the most capable county clerks in the state. Shortly following his election, he was chosen vice presi dent of the Oregon Clerks and Rec orders’ association, and in the con vention held in December, 1934, was unanimously elected president of this organization. He is a man of high integrity, sterling habits, fine personality and widely known throughout the state (Continued on page 4) The Eastern Oregon Turkey Grow ers association has Just completed its 1934-35 shipping season.
