The emblem of the drlfe Be Required to wnnnoia Acreage Now Contracted Is Interpretation of Ruling CORVAUJS. Ore.. March 27. (AP) -But little change In aprtng wheat planting In Oregon la expected by the atate college extension aemlce to follow the liberalization of acreage restriction on wheat adjustment contract boldera, recently announced by the secretary of agriculture. The new rulings, according to In terpretations here, do not permit unrestricted spring seeding, but do permit liberal expansion to. balance ' possible effects of continued drought In the southwest. Hard spring wheat sections farther east will be chiefly affected. Contract holders still will be re quired to withhold from wheat pro duction their present contracted acreage, amounting to 10 per cent of past average production, but they may plant other parte of their farm to wheat up to 75 per cent of their bae average by agreeing to make an additional cut of an equal amount In 1936 If necessary. Z. R. Jackman. extension agrono mist who recently returned from Washington, D. C, where he worked on the new wheat adjustment pro gram, said much the same condi tions now prevail In the summer fallow regions of the Columbia basin where growers may divide their re duction between the next two years, ylf they care to. Jackman aald the liberalization may be of real value In certain Irrigated sections of Ore gon where a grower may improve his farm practice by enlarging his acreage this year. In western Oregon he said. It la considered too late to plant aprlng wheat. concrete example of -how the spring wheat plan works was given by the extension men as followa: A contract holder with a 100-acre wheat base would normally be rejtrlcted to SO acres this year, the remaining 10 acres being "contracted acreage" kept out of wheat. Under the recent order 6uch a grower may plant up to 78 additional acrea to spring wneat, a total of 168 acres. In return he agrees to reduce hla wheat acreage by the same amount In 1036 If found necessary to prevent another burdensome surplus. The ruling, of course, applies only to wheat contract holdera who re ceive benefit payments for " CO -ope rating In the adjustment program - .ALICE ANNE S SUCCUMBS Fl STROKE OF PARALYSIS Alice Anne SummervlNe Moody, resident of Medford for the past U years, pawed sway at her home, 319 Talent Court, early Wednesday morn ing, after ft week's tUness.

Business houses which display the compass axe pledged to abide by new life' rules, which aim at the moral regeneration of the Chinese. Be Clean And Polite' Instead of attempting to tackle the nation's morals on all fronts. General Chiang has stressed the virtues of cleanliness and good manners In the first year of bis campaign. Government official have carried this two-headed gospel Into every village of central China. Outlying re gions of the country have taken up the movement less thoroughly. Travelers are met on every hand with evidences that the movement has become a vital force. Trains on the government railways, once no torious carriers of dust, grime and vermin, are spotlessly clean. In the cities, the streets and pub lic places which formerly were re ceptacles of filth, are swept and scoured with astonishing frequency. At banquets, two sets of chopsticks are provided for every diner, so that the guest will not have to serve him self with the same set of sticks with which he eats. Home Life Changing 'On walls and on buildings, posters In vivid characters enjoin the people to return to the simple life. These are outward manifestations Government officials claim that the drive has gone deeper that It has penetrated the homes of the people Admittedly, It Is Impossible to re make a nation's morals overnight. but where "new life" has been push- ed, personal habits of the people have shown a definite change for the better. In order that the campaign may be understood even by Illiterate per sons, the "new life" gospel has been translated Into hundreds of simple commandments. These Include such admonitions as: "Brush your teeth daily I Don't gamble! Keep your coat buttoned! Avoid Intoxicating drinks! Don't wear elaborate clothes! Blue Laws' spring t'p In many towns and villages some of the regulations have been Incor porated Into "blue laws." . At Nanking, for Instance, the mu nicipal government has forbidden barber-shops to operate halr-curllng machinery, because artificial waving of hair Is considered out of step with the Spartan simplicity advocated by General Chiang. At Pelplng. It has become unlaw ful for Chinese to wear "queer" dress, which means ultra-modern styles. In Canton, mixed bathing has been prohibited by law. At Nanrhang, Ktangsl. shop signs In English have been made Illegal. At Skiklang. In the same province. smoking in the streets has become a misdemeanor.
