The schools in Stanfield have been closed for at least two weeks be cause of a scarlet fever epidemic. Surprising as it may seem to any one who has never seen the figures, approximately 68 per cent of the farm land in Oregon is used for pas ture purposes, and the most import ant farm crop in Oregon is grass. Research men in the farm mana gement department at Oregon State college, who have recently issued a progress report on a survey of the costs and carrying capacities of farm pastures in Oregon, point out that only in the Willamette valley is less than half of the farm area used for pasture, and in some sections of the state more than 80 per cent of the farm acreage is in some grass or pas ture crop. This study of Oregon farm pasture land, the first year of which has just been completed and is discussed in the progress report, is being con ducted with four main purposes in view. These are to determine the car rying capacities of various types of tame and native pastures in the dif ferent agricultural regions of Ore gon; to find the costs of establish ing and maintaining these pastures; to point out the major factors which affect these costs, and to find meth ods by which such costs may be re duced. Preliminary figures for the 1935 census show a total of 171,000 hors es and mules, 929,000 cattle, and 2,210,000 sheep on Oregon farms on January 1, 1935, the report points out. Much of the feed supply of this vast herd must come from farm pas ture land of the state. The great economy in cost of maintaining stock on pasture as compared with feeding hay and grain, both in direct cash outlay and in gross cost, is one of the principal points brought out by the survey in which information has been obtained so far on 15,964 acres of pasture on 319 different farms. About 50 per cent of the total cost of producing hay and grain is direct cash outlay, while the cash cost of pasture is only about 25 per cent, it is pointed out. The report is available in mimeo graphed form to all Oregon residents upon request. While much of the in formation contained in it is neces sarily of a preliminary nature, it would undoubtedly be of value to those planning to establish perma nent pastures, those conducting the survey believe. ANNOUNCES ’25-A-MONTH TIME PAYMENTS AND A NEW UCC 6% FINANCE PLAN TO TAKE MYSTERY OUT OF BANKING Bi ROBERT V. FLEMING, PrtiiJmt Amfritt» Batti fri 4ntcùH» The American Bankers Association has cooperated wherever it could prop erly do so in every measure for national recovery. It baa of fered constructive recommenda tions for such changes In bank ing laws as we rec- ognlzed were nec essary. and we now have a better law under which to operate. The Banking Act of 1935 affords ns op portunities for broader service R. V. FLEMING and, at the same time, retains the fundamentals which we believe are so vital to our national welfare and which have played a large part in bringing our country, in a comparatively short space of time, to the position of the greatest industrial nation on the earth. The Public and Banking It Is necessary that the public have a thorough understanding of the func tions of banks, what they can do and what they cannot do, for it must be recognized that to many people the business of banking is still somewhat of a mystery. i We should frankly explain these func tions to the public, acquaint them with the laws under which we operate and emphasize the vital part which banks play in the economic life of the Nation. Therefore, in order that there may be the fullest cooperation and understand ing between the banks and the people of the country, it will also be one of our objectives to take the mystery out of | banking wherever it exists in the public mind. Banking Conferences A series of Regional Conferences on Banking Service will be held in strate gic sections of the country, embracing all types of banking. The new banking laws and the regulations Issued there- | under will be carefully analyzed so that our bankers will have a thorough un derstanding of the broadened services Can Now Be Purchased for $25 a Month with Usual Low Down-Payment T his $25-a-month time-payment plan enables you to buy a New Ford V-8 car through your Ford dealer on new low monthly terms. After the usual low down-payment is made, $25 a month is all you have to pay for any type of new car, includ ing insurance and financing. Your cost for this extension of credit is only %2 of 1% a month on your orig inal unpaid balance and insurance. This plan reduces financing charges for twelve months to 6%. For example, if you owe a balance of $400 for your FORD car and insurance, you pay $24 for the year of credit; if the balance is $200 you pay $12. Your credit cost for one year is the original unpaid balance multiplied by 6%. UCC plans provide you with in- surance protection at regular confer ence rates. You have not only fire and theft insurance, but $50 deductible col lision, and protection against other ac cidental physical damage to your car. The Universal Credit Company has made these plans available through all Ford dealers in the United States. MOTOR COMPANY UMATILLA NEWS t t By ERMA BYRNES.

Advise Vote— PUBLIC ATTITUDE i HELPS THE BANKS 301 - NO 307 — NO Annual Bankers Convention Says People Have Had Confi dence Restored—Recommends Changed Government Policy DON’T RESTORE OLD CONVENTION SYSTEM! UPHOLD THE SPRING PRIMARY. (Paid - H. DeMoss) ELECTION JAN. 31 The restoration of public confidence in banking has put it in the position where it can function fully and vigor ously In playing its full economic part in the progress of recovery, said the American Bankers Association in Its annual convention resolutions. "The passage oi a generally construc tive banking law in the Banking Act of 1935 has stabilized the banking situa tion and enabled bankers to devote un divided attention to the normal admin istration of their institutions in pro moting the business and public welfare of their communities,” the resolutions said. “We feel that It is a particularly im portant feature of this law that it alms to create through the revision of the Federal Reserve Board a Supreme Court of Finance which, with the non- political appointment of exceptionally competent men, should constitute one of the greatest forward steps In build ing a sound banking and credit system for this country." The Government in Banking Any New Ford V’8 Car PAGE THRU i —==== Another resolution said: “We particularly emphasize the de sirability of the retirement of govern ment from those fields of extending credits of various types which can be adequately served by privately owned institutions. We recognize that the exigencies of the now passing depres sion made necessary a large participa tion by government for a time in the task of meeting the public’s emergency financial needs. “Those conditions have been largely remedied and the obligation now rests upon the banks and other financial agencies to demonstrate to the people of this country that they are fully able and willing to meet ail demands upon them for sound credit cooperation. It Is our duty as bankers to facilitate In every effective way the retirement of government agencies from credit ac tivities by promoting public under standing of the proper function of pri vately owned banking." ACCURATE RECORDS The keeping of accurate records con stitutes an essential part of any success- ful business management, whether manufacturing, merchandising or farm ing. It Is quite generally conceded that any good business concern keeps ade quate recorda, and this procedure is equally Important in the business of farming, declares the Bulletin of the American Bankers Association Agri cultural Commission. No. 3—MIST AND FOG Co LONG as there is light we may skip around at a lively rate over this old • globe of ours. We may span oceans in surprising time. We may cross the continent from sun-up to sun-down. But every now and then Mother Nature decides to put us in our place, and of alt her devices to make us slow down, none is more effective than mist and fog. Now we may not have to contend with fog and mist very frequently, but we’re bound to now and then, and when we do, it can cause us a lot of annoy ance and trouble. When a good heavy fog comes—on land, at sea or in the air—everything that moves, moves with caution. The ocean liner slows down several knots an hour. Lightships signal, buoys sound and foghorns boom. Airlines ground their planes and cancel trips. Even trains on tracks reduce their speed—and we drivers on the highways, too, must make our way cautiously through that baffling screen. For one thing Is true. In spite of fill our progress, transportation still depends on pairs of eyes in human heads. Scientists who have studied fog, say that it is composed of tiny drops of water. These drops are so small and light that they hang in the air, and so close together that light can hardly get through them. Instead, these little drops act like tiny convex LIGHT mirrors. When we try to pierce them with a beam of BEAM light, a great deal of it is thrown right back at us, so the effect to just like a great, gleaming white cur tain in front of us. Experienced drivers say that the first thing to do Is to get our lights right. The main thing is to direct the beams downward. If we have them shining Now MIST DROPS straight ahead, those little mist-drop mirrors reflect •IOUCS ILLUMINATION the rays back In our eyes. But if they're pointing downward, the rays are deflected toward the road. • Then they say It’s a good Idea to guide by the road edge at our right, and if we have a spotlight on our car, to focus it right on that road edge, close to the front of the car, so the edge will be clearly lighted But we have to keep a good weather eye ahead, too, because fog veils more than the road. It hides not only things on the road but such things as roadside warnings of curves and hills and inter sections. Even the traffic light's red and green signal rays have the same hard time that our headlights do getting through that strange haze. In fact, in a good heavy fog, the best we can do for our vision to none too good. And so the main thing is to slow down. The ships have to do It, the trains have to do it, and we have to do It too. If we won’t make up our minds to that, they tell us the best thing we can do is to pull off the road, or if ure have nA* =n* -a-i-a ---- we had better just stay CG _____ . But seeing in fog and mist is only half the story. We not only have to see, but we also have to be seen. Our headlights properly adjusted are strong enough to do their duty in pointing us out to people coming from the opposite direction. And, in addition, some drivers use their horns like foghorns by giving them a toot every now and then. But another thing we have to think of is to be sure drivers behind us g see us. That’s why It’s so important to have our stop signal and tail-light working when we’re driving in fog. And so it’s a good thing to make sure that these lights are working and to wipe off those little red glasses If they happen to be covered with mud. If the weather’s clear and our tail-light has gone out, the other fellow’s lights may point us out fairly well. But if his headlights are fighting fog, they can’t do much to protect us. , ,__ __ So, when all is said and done, driving in fog to g Just a matter of having our headlights and tail-lights right and being a little more careful. If we do that, we can drive our cars safely, even through Nature’s stubborn obstacles of mist and fog,
