TULELAKE. Much 27 All
grains stored lust full in local
elevators and in warehouses at
the former Japanese center at
Newell have been moved to mar

munugcr of the Tulelake Grow

TULELAKE, March 27 The
1047 early season farm wage
scale. Irrigation, tile problem of
obtaining better seed barley and
better potuto marketing prac
tices were issues brought up ut
the March meeting of the Tule
lake (Jrowcrs held Monday night
In the Sportsman's hotel. Out-of-town
speakers were A. E.
Webb of Annhaeuscr-Uusch and
Cris P. Bemis, sccretury of the
potato division of the U. S. Fresh
Fruit and Vegetable association.
The meeting followed a 6:30 o'
clock dinner.
The growers recommended a
spring and summer wage scale
Identical with the 1946 scale for
farm iubor, 75 cents per hour
to be puid for weeding, hoeing,
thinning and other hand work'
und 1 per hour for irrigating
and for truck and tractor
drivers. Scale for the harvest
season will be .recommended
Inter.
Water will be mudc available
this spring by the reclamation
service as soon as operation and
maintenance costs have been
puid by farmers, and water will
probably be in the canals by
April 1. The unseusonul warm
wcuther with little moisture
makes early irrigation impera
tive lor legume crops. Some pre
irrigatlon before cropping is
also anticipated, growers announced.
E. A. Webb of Ar.nnaeuser
Busch stressed the importance of
better barley seed grading and
Inspection for the protection of
both grower and buyer. No de
cision was reached on the grad
ing of seed here this fall but
urowers will buy an improved
seed slock from Oregon State
college next fall.
Research into the future of
the potato industry, the per cap
ita consumption of vegetables
other than potatoes following an
Intensive advertising program
on the merits of tomatoes,
spinach, celery and citrus fruits
and the fact that the Klamath
basin rates among the 10 top po
tato producing areas in the U. S.
were all discussed by Cris P.
Bemli, secretary of the potato
division of the U. S. Fresh Fruit
and Vegetable association.
Bemis stated that the U. S.
department of agriculture is
carrying on a research program
slanted to the use of potatoes for
other purposes than food. He
stated also that the 1848 bumper
potato crop was raised on a
smullcr acreage than in other
years, indicating that growers
ure using improved culture
methods.
C. W. Fensler, representing
the Sprcckies Sugar company,
asked that.all growers who plan
to plant sugar beets, sign con
tracts by April 8. There will be
no restrictions on beets raised on
the new homesteads or on land
leased from the reclamation ser
vice this year.

Northwest Vets Reverse
National GI Loan Trend
Reversing a national trend in
which requests for GI loans have
hit the lowest level since last
April, northwest veterans re
ceived 2124 guaranteed or in
sured loans during February,
compared to 1883 approved dur
ing January, the veterans admin
istration reports.
By the end of February,
23,566 northwest veterans had
received loans totaling $108,
210.891. Veterans wanting GI loans
should go directly to a bank,
savings and loan association or
other lending agency, the VA
says. The VA is responsible only
for certifying the veteran's eli
gibility and for guaranteeing or
insuring payment to lending
agencies, in case of default, up
i to a maximum of SO per cent of
' the total.
: Questions Of Tha Week
I Q. I recently lost my job and
I can't meet the payments on my
GI home loan. Am I entitled to
readjustment allowance provid
ed by tho GI bill?
A. Your home loan has no
bearing on your right to unem
ployment compensation. Apply
at your state unemployment ser
vice for a readjustment allow
ance. Q. May I arrange for the vet
erans administration to deduct
my national service life insur
ance premiums from the disa
bility compensation check I re
ceive each month?
A. Yes. You may go to your
VA regional office or contact of
fice and fill out a form which
will authorize the veterans ad
ministration to make the deduc
tion from your compensation
check.
