OLD lOm AVAILABLE IN OREGON 'np riOJn, SohenlfV Oirrihntnr , Inc., New Ynfk DEPARTMENT Corn Crop Control Listed in Outline ( More Stress Put On Payments. With the framework of the 1937 iigrtcultural conservation program officially announced at Washing ton, i). u farm operators .in Oi-e-goii are now awaiting detailed in terpretation of the plan in the light of Oregon conditions which will be available as soon as offi cial representatives from this state return rom the national confer ence. O Meanwhile the state soil deplet ing crop base for the 19.16 program has been definitely approved at Washington, and state and county officials have supplied each coun ty with Its final base figures. From these Individual applications can now go forward with little delay. Significant among the chanees in the 1937 prngrum Is provision for some crop control to be applied to corn. This Is to be accomplished hy setting an acreage quota for each farm which comes under the soil conservation provisions of the new program. National AAA offi cials announced that this is need ed to prevent the corn acreage getting far out of line under the stimulus ot high prices which fol lowed last year's extremely short crop. Payments Stressed The new crop will Include both diversion and soil building pay injiits again, but with Ihe latter given more emimns. An avewigo of $9 an acre Tor diversion Instead of $10 has been set and it will be handled on a somewhat different basis. Of the 59, $0 will be plied uiriicuy io uiverieu acreage ill) lo 15 per- cent, while S3 will he paid for definite additions to the soil conserving acreage above the 15 per cent, this.

The minimum allowance per farm, regardless of size, has been raised from (10 to ?20 this year, and provision has been made for more benefits tor vegeiame and fruit growers who carry out soil building practices. It is be lieved that last year's base acre age determinations may be used again, thus eliminating mucn ot the detailed work necessary in carrying out the present program STATE FAIR Will PORTLAND, Dec. 21 (AP) Solon T.
