CLEANUP DAY IS
♦R.E.A. H IG H LIG H TS*

------
♦ SET FOR APRIL 5
BY R. L. WOOLLEY
Some of our members are really
making, electricity pay for itself. For
example, Vern Dunham of the Colum
bia district is now operating several
pig brooders. I understand that he
is already convinced that they are
very profitable. The next step Mr.
Dunham should make is to investi
gate the feed grinder and its feasi
bility. He will no doubt be just as
well pleased with it as he is with the
pig brooders, once he has learned of
its usefulness.
Mr. Dunham is not the only pro
gressive member we have, however.
I hear of several of our poultrymen
who are USING their electricity also.
Mr. Ott, one of the members of our
board of directors, has installed the
electric brooder which Mr. Knicker
bocker was using to demonstrate with
last season. We have installed a
special meter to measure the amount
of electric power it uses. We will
then be able to give you that infor
mation. Already, however, Mr. Ott
feels that the one electric brooder op
erates for about one-half the cost of
brooders heated with briquets which
he is also operating. In addition to
this he says that he does not need to
make the fueling “rounds” required
for the others.
Each day I hear of new uses. There
are also some additional incubators
on the system. R. V. Jones also has
both incubators and brooders to op
erate this season, I am told. These
bits of news are not sales talks but
just sort of “over the back fence”
chats telling you of some of the ac
tivities of the other members we not
ice that may be of help and that will
aid you to become more successful by
using the conveniences provided by
your cooperative. So, if you have
something of interest for the other
members, tell us about it and we will
endeavor to pass it on.
GRASS GROWN ON
FORMER GULLIES
USED FOR HAY
Eastern Oregon farmers are .find
ing that a crop of hay as a return
from formerly unproductive gully
banks makes this kind of protective
treatment an economical and profit
able method of stopping further soil
loss. Where there is a natural draw
in a field, there is some gully cut
ting during run-off periods unless
enough plant cover is present to hold
the soil. Many farn-e’s have salved
this problem of soil cutting by seed
ing broad strips of grass and le
gumes along such draws, Soil Con
servation service and Extension ser
vice men report. Such strips can be
mowed easily and give the farmer an
extra crop of hay that usually is a
welcome addition to his forage sup
plies.
In most cases where a gully is sev
eral feet deep, the recommended pro
cedure is to grade in the banks to
form a wide, shallow and flat chan
nel that may be crossed by farm im
plements, thereby aiding contour op
erations on adiacent land. Then, as
early as possible in the spring, the
area may be seeded to a width of 30
to 40 feet with a mixture of grasses
and legumes.
Protected waterways of this type
spread the run-off water, reducing
its cutting action and the bank eros
ion caused when run-off is concen
trated in a narrow, deep channel. If
the grading and seeding is done in
the spring, experience has shown
that a stand thick enough to prevent
cutting ordinarily will develop in
time to give the needed protection
during succeeding run-off periods.
UM ATILLA FARMERS
TURN TO MACHINES
Farmers in the Hermiston and sur
rounding regions are turning quite
extensively to the horseless machines,
according to A. F. Rohrman of the
Rohrman Motor Co. Mr. Rohrman,
who is the local dealer for the Ford
tractor utilizing the Ferguson sys
tem of hydraulic control, reports that
the following are recent purchasers:
O. T. Carnes of Pilot Rock, J. E.
Troxel of Adams, Louis Ringel of
Athena, Merrill Potter, Fred Lee and
Guy E. Knapp, all of Hermiston.
Another carload of tractors is ex
pected the first of the week.
Westland Dance» Discontinued.
The series of dances which have
been held at the Westland school have
been discontinued, according to J. B.
Perry who has been connected with
them. No reason was given for the
decision.
Friday, April 5, has been set as
cleanup day at Columbia park. The
auxiliary ladies will serve pot luck
dinner at noon and it is hoped that
a number of men will turn out for
the occasion.
TURKEY A N D SPUD
REPORT FORECASTS
MORE PRODUCTION
Turkey growers and potato pro
ducers in this country intend to raise
between 4 and 5 per cent more birds
and plant about 2 per cent more
acres to spuds than last year, accord
ing to latest federal surveys reported
in the current agricultural situation
and outlook circular issued by the
agricultural extension service at O.
S. C.
This moderate increase will be in
the face of slightly higher costs and
uncertain consumer demand pros
pects, the report points out. The
circular, obtainable at any county ex
tension office, also contains outlook
information on horses and mules to
gether with considerable data on
trends and levels of farm prices for
many Oregon farm products. Tables
of turkey and potato statistics are
featured.
On a regional basis, the prospect
is that turkey production will be cur
tailed slightly in the western states,
while the potato acreage is expected
to be increased somewhat more than
in the country as a whole. Actual
production will depend considerably
upon weather conditions and other
factors, as usual, states the report.
In 1939, turkey production broke
all records, and prices averaged sev
eral cents under 1938 despite a level
of consumer purchasing power ma
terially higher than during the prev
ious marketing season. On the other
hand, potato production in 1939 was
near average in quantity, and prices
responded upward to the more favor
able consumer demand situation as
compared with the year before.
Demand prospects for the 1940-41
marketing season remain somewhat
uncertain with recovery from the
-«resent recession expected but much
depends upon the course of war.
'"¡’’•m costs average approximately
•.6 per cent higher than a year ago,
according to the government index of
nrices paid by farmers for taxes, in-
'•'-rest and commodities used in pro-
luction. Farm wage rates are ex-
«ected to increase somewhat, also.
-ARM PLAN SHEETS
ARE BEING FILLED
JUT BY FARMERS
Umatilla county farmers who take
pait in the agricultural conservation
program are now making plans for
continued participation by filling out
‘farm plan” sheets, showing how
.hey expect to arrange this year’s
.arming operations so as to get the
most good out of the federal pro
gram.
Each farmer who participates in
1940 must sign a farm plan sheet be
fore May 1, according to A. R. Cop
pock, chairman of the Umatilla coun
ty agricultural conservation commit
tee. Farmers who have not partici
pated previously may still sign up,
having until May 1 to do so.
Farm plan sheets may be signed at
the assistant county agent’s office in
Hermiston.
Mr. Coppock pointed out that farm
ers who fill out the sheets have on
hand valuable information showing
how much they can earn to aid in
carrying on soil improvement work,
and what conservation practices
should be followed in order to get
this assistance.
Indications are that approximate
ly 2500 farms in Umatilla county
will participate in the 1940 program.
They represent about 95 per cent of
the county’s crop land. The remain
ing 5 per cent of crop land consists
mainly of small tracts devoted to
specialty crops and part time farm
ing.
During 1939, farmers of this coun
ty carried on soil improvement work
on 2400 farms, Mr. Coppock said.
Among principal conservation prac
tices in the diversified areas of the
county were the seeding of perennial
legumes, grasses, clovers, green man
ure crops, trees and also the appli
cation of sulphur and superphos
phate. In the wheat area the seed
ing of crested wheat grass, practice
of trashy fallow and the control of
perennial noxious weeds were the
most important practices performed.

AAA M AN REPORTS
WHEAT LOANS NOW
BEING REDEEMED,
Oregon farmers who took out fed
eral crop loans on their 1939 wheat
harvest gradually are placing their
grain back on the market, and to
date have liquidated about two-
thirds of their loans, according to
Edgar L. Ludwick of Corvallis, sup
ervisor of the loan program for Pa
cific northwest states.
Loans were made to Oregon grow
ers on 5.650,000 bushels of wheat.
To date, approximately 3,500,000
bushels have been liquidated, Lud
wick said.
He also stated that Washington
and northern Idaho have a similar
percentage of loan wheat released,
with southern Idaho, Utah and Cal
ifornia showing favorably.
The loan program has been of ma
terial assistance, Ludwick declared,
for growers have been able to sell
their liquidated wheat at an average
price of about ten cents above loan
value. Without the loan, many of
them would have been forced to sell
their wheat at harvest time, taking
the lower price then prevailing, he
said.
Orderly marketing of loan wheat
has kept markets from becoming de
pressed, Ludwick observed. He ex-
nects farmers to continue marketing
their loan wheat throughout the
next few weeks, since all 1939 loans
mature on April 30.
Growers whose loan wheat is
stored on their farms under seal may
renew the loans and have their bins
repealed. There are about 2>A mil
lion bushels of farm stored wheat in
the Pacific northwest states, Lud
wick said.
