The ' various compilations were based on judgments of the county courts In answer to requests' of Governor Julius L. Meier for estimates . for guidance of bonus loan appraisers.'

Small farms nave nov oeen azrectea oy tne de pression, relatively, nearly so much as the larger holdings. In eastern Ore gon, because of the drought condi tions and low wheat prices, some lands have depreciated as high as 76 per cent In the estimate of comity officials. - T -. : IN BABY CONTEST Throe hundred and twenty babies are competing for the titles of Baby Xing arid Queen of Mod ford In the American Legion Auxiliary Baby Show.
