FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1938 County AAA Committees Setting Goals VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON is conducted by state and federal extension agents. March 1 is the last date on which the books may be opened. They are required to cover 12 consecu tive months and may also be started as of January 1 and February 1. Club members interested in enroll ing may secure blank books and rules and the prize list through their Local Leader or County Agent. Prizes will be awarded on the basis of individual accomplishment alone, and all material in the re cords will be held confidential and returned to the owners after the judging. Contestants must also sub mit an analysis of their record of 1000 words or less, showing the principal sources of profit and loss and suggesting how to make the farm pay better. Parents are urged to cooperate in keeping the records, which have proved of such value in the last four contests that they have been continued. Any bona fide club- ster is eligible and many fine re cords in the past have been sub mitted by both boys and girls in their early teens. Contestants who submit the five best records will receive awards of $500 to $100 and 800 others will be given cash prizes of $5 to $25. All awards are made by the Inter national Harvester Company to en courage good farm management through a comprehensive but simple accounting system. Columbia Potato Acreage Listed at 1,454; General Soil Depleting at 15,752 With all district conferences of county AAA officials scheduled to be completed by February 11, in dividual farm goals in the various counties will probably be established within two or three weeks, or in plenty of time for earliest spring seeding, it is believed by officials of the state office in Corvallis. Changes in specifications, as well as the procedure to be followed in breaking the soil depleting goals, and special potato goals in the 18 commercial potato counties, were discussed at the district meetings. Coos and Lincoln counties, although they have comparatively small acre ages of commercial potatoes, have been added to the previous list of 16 counties because of former census figures which (technically brought them within the minimum production set. Klamath has the largest county potato goal, with 10,884 acres, followed by Clackamas with 5,448. Washington, Deschutes, Malheur, Marion and Multnomah are above the 2000 mark. The purpose in establishing these maximum volun tary goals is to discourage the over planting and resultant excessive surpluses of potatoes from one year to another. Individual form potato goals will not be set when less than three acres are customarily grown. Naturally, the largest general soil depleting goals are in the wheat growing counties of eastern Oregon, with the smallest ones in the coast counties where pasture and hay lands predominate. The Columbia county goal fol lows: potato, 1,454; general soil depleting, 15,752. 1, l»U tatti. ti <«•<• WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR FROZEN BRAKES? There are few winter driving ex periences more mystifying than to climb into your car, start the motor, and discover that the wheels won’t turn. The normal diagnosis in this case is that your brakes are frozen. Water occasionally finds its way between the brake drum and the lining, an<k when this water freezes the wheels naturally are unable to turn. Sometimes the brakes may be jarred loose by allowing the clutch to “jump” in while the motor is turning at a moderate speed. If this fails the first couple of times, Thousands in Prizes to Be I get a pail of lukewarm water and slosh it over the outside of the Awarded by National brake drums.
