THE STRENGTH OF
THE WEEKLY PAPER
Of late years there has been
a growing realization of the per­
manent value of the community
nuwespaper. Those who read them
have always realized their worth.
But time was when those who
viewed from afar were inclined
to look with disdain upon the
weekly press as compared with
the daily, particularly the large
city daily.
It cannot be wholly accidental
that during the past decade there
have been so many articles in
the national magazines and so
many studies which call attention
to the growth, both in size and
influence, of the community nwes-
paper.
The great daily newspapers of
the cities have been forced to
give more and more of their space
to national and international af­
fairs. Their readers have demand­
ed this coverage. These dailies
have responded to the dmand with
thoroughness and intelligence. To­
day they are printing more and
better news of the world at large
than ever before in the history
of journalism.
But because of this very devel­
opment the town and country­
side news has had to be neglected.
Side by side with the demand for
national and international news is
that for knowledge of one's
friends, one’s acquaintances, one’s
neighbors. This is the particular
field of the community weekly,
and it is in the fulfilling of this
demand—neglected by the dailies
that it has risen to new heights
of achievement.
It is doubtful if the country
publishers have availed themselves
of their opportunities even yet.
The community newspaper is des­
tined to enlarge its audience
steadily, thereby inevitably In­
creasing its own stability and in­
fluence. It is no longer a choice
between the city daily and the
community weekly. Readers need
both.— Herald-Statesman, Colum­
bia, Mo.
Columbia County
Wheat Allotment
Is 35,943 Bushels
Official allotment to counties
of the United States of the num­
ber of bushels of wheat on which
benefit payments will be made
under the wheat adjustment pro­
gram of the farm act, shows that
Columbia county has been allot­
ted 39, 943 bushels of the to­
tal 11,450,585 bushels allotted
to Oregon.
Notification of the allotments,
the basis on which they were ar­
rived at, and definite word as to
the amount of payment to be
made to contract signers this fall,
have all been sent to the agricul­
tural extension service at Oregon
State college, which is in charge
of the educational campaign in
connection with the wheat plan.
Allotment of 35,943 bushels
to this county was arrived at by
taking 54 percent of the five-
years average production here
from 1928 to 1932. This per­
centage is figured to be propor­
tion of the average United States
crop that will go into domestic
human consumption and hence
will pay the processing tax used
to finance benefit payments.
Farmers who sign the govern­
ment contracts will receive in­
dividual allotments on a similar
basis. The allotment to this coun­
ty 'or to any individual grower
does not mean that that is all
he is supposed to raise. It merely
means that on that amount only
will he receive the extra benefit
payments designed to compensate
him for reducing acreage and to
give him a fair “parity price” for
that portion of the crop.
Definite announcement is also
made that 20 cents a bushel cash
benefit payments will be made
this fall as soon as the details
of contract signing are complet­
ed. The remainder of the pay­
ment, announced as from 8 to
10 cents a bushel, will be made
next spring after acreage reduc­
tion is accomplished.
Definite
decision on the
amount of acreage reduction to
be required is expected to be an­
nounced the first week in Aug­
ust. New assurance is given that
it will not exceed 20 per cent. A
late development is the possible
use of a small fraction 'of the
processing tax receipts to fi­
nance exports of wheat, particu­
larly from the Pacific northwest,
as a means of relieving the pres­
ent surplus stocks and thus bring
northwest market prices into more
normal relation to Chicago prices
and prevent possible flooding of
eastern markets with western
wheat.
The average seeded acreage of
Columbia county for the five
year period, 1928 to 1932, was
2,318, and the yield per seeded
acre was 21.7. The average yield
per seeded acre throughout the
state was 20.3.
