DEADLINE SET FOR W HEAT INSURANCE Saturday, April 29, is the dead line for ipayment of prem ium s on sp rin g w heat insurance under the federal crop insurance plan, an nounces N. C. Donaldson of Corval lis, executive officer for the AAA farm program in Oregon. A to tal of 839 Oregon farm ers have applied for insurance on their w heat crops, says Clyde Kiddle, sta te crop insurance supervisor. Ap proxim ately 600 of them have paid th e ir premiums, either in cash or in w heat. Largest crop insurance policies in th e sta te were those taken out last fall in U m atilla county by th e farm ing enterprises supervised by Mac Hoke of Pendleton, said Kiddle. T hree carloads of w heat w ere re quired to pay the premium on the 7766 acres insured. This is regard ed as the larg est crop insurance ven tu re in the United States. Second largest w heat insurance policy in Oregon was taken out re cently by th e Reitm ann Bros, of Ione, in M orrow county, K iddle sta t ed. A total of 1607 acres was in sured for 75 per cent of possible loss a t the rate of 1.6 bushels premium paym ent per acre. The prem ium on the R eitm an Bros, policy cost them $1321, or the equivalent of 2571 bushels of No. 2 soft w hite w heat. In event of total loss of th eir crop they would receive 13,378 bushels of w heat or its cash equivalent. Oregon Helps Break 4-H Record. Oregon w ith more th an 20,000 4-H club members enrolled in 1938, of w hich 5,363 were new la st year, helped break th e national record for club enrollm ent w ith an all-tim e high total of 1,286,029 members, H. C. Seymour, sta te club leader in the O.S.C. extension service, has an nounced. Since 4-H club work be came nation-w ide in 1914, 7,500,000 different young people have received th is train in g . More th an 40 per cent of ru ral boys and girls reaching the average age for club work were enrolled in th e organization last year. In Oregon 83.39 per cent of th e projects started last year were completed. COUNTY RANKS HIGH IN SAFETY Benton, Hood River and K lam ath county led th e ir three divisions a t the three-m onth m ark in th e 1939 traffic safety race, Secretary of S tate E arl Snell announced th is week.

He was thought to be about 13 years old, walked on his hands and feet, lived mainly in trees, which he could climb like a monkey, fed upon grass and moss, and was totally devoid of speech. In the following year he was brought to England and exhibited to King George I, who had him placed in the keeping of a farmer near London, and allowed him a pension. Peter never learned to ar ticulate more than a few words, and expressed his sensations by various animal-like noises, neighing like a horse when pleased. His senses were much more acute than those of a civilized man, and he was credited with being able to understand the language of birds and beasts. He aroused much in terest among medical and learned men of the time. Peter died in 1785. Oddities in Bermuda Nature has showered a choice group of "believe it or nots” on the Bermuda islands. Oddities in fruit and flowers include the following: The thistle plant with yellow flow ers, altogether unlike the American thistle. It has no thorns and is tender enough to be eaten by rab bits and fowl. The travelers* tree, so called because it gives drinkable water when tapped. The monkey puzzle tree, so called because its trunk is covered with thorns—and is therefore unclimable. The air pine vine which grows only upon boards, wires, dead wood, and tin. The small vine, “rock sample,” which many natives brew as a substitute for tea and coffee. The dried cala bash. Hang it in a tree and the wrens will take possession of it as a home. _ onl.T “ ( fortU onjT ***_!. # . floating .re<r i« * « pricecUM Thisyear of all years; don’t miss out on IH M The evolution of rocks of various “species,” as set forth in the theory of crystal fractionation, is mainly a chemical process, according to an authority at the Geophysical labora tory, Carnegie institution of Wash ington. It is assumed that all ig neous rocks had as their common "ancestor” an enormous mass of molten, perhaps plastic, material deep within the earth. Chemically, this primordial rock stuff, called magma, is believed to have been predominantly basic, rather than acidic, containing large quantities of lime, iron, magnesia, and other bases. Columns of this magma occasion ally rose very slowly into higher levels of the earth’s crust, where pressure is less intense and temper atures are lower. Some came to rest within the crust and some is sued forth as lava flows at the sur face. As the magma cooled, some of its molten elements reached tem peratures which compelled them to unite in definite molecular combina tions and to separate from the liquid as solid mineral crystals, which sank or rose, depending on their weight, relative to that of the mag ma. Igneous rocks are aggregates of such crystals. This crystallization followed a def inite sequence analogous to the “evolution of animal species." First the basic elements crystallized out into minerals, forming such basic rocks as basalt, commonly known as trap rock, while the last elements to crystallize were alkalis and sili ca, forming such acidic rocks as granite. Between these two ex tremes came intermediate stages, in which rocks containing varying amounts of bases and alkalis were formed. Carrying the analogy with evolu tion further, those who support the theory say that after the “higher” types of rocks—those richest in al kalis and silica—have been formed they will not hybridize with “lower” types—the dark-colored rocks rich in iron, lime and magnesia. Study of rocks indicates that such “rever sion to type” has actually taken place. N ine seniors w ill be grad u ated from the Stanfield high school May 18.

Vin cenzo is the Italian form, according to Florence A. Cowles in the Cleve land Plain Dealer. St. Vincent Fer rer (d. 1419) was called “the angel of judgment” and preached through out Europe. St. Vincent de Paul (b. 1576) devoted his life to the care of the poor. Vincenzo Catena (d. 1531) was a Venetian painter whose contemporaries ranked him with Titian. Vincenzo Campi (d. 1591) also an Italian, excelled in small fig ures, fruits, etc. Vincente Espinel (d. 1624) was a Spanish poet whose stanzas came to be called espinelas. Vincent Bourne (d. 1747) was a noted English poet of his day. A nim als and M am m als W e Give Y ou More! TRADE NOW! ROHRMAN MOTOR CO.

Their outstanding character istic is that they nourish their young with milk.
