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.

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.

Annual Bankers Convention
Says People Have Had Confi

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."

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

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

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,
