2. Strengthen existing provisions
dealing with misrepresentation,

agriculture to reach practices
"which cannot be handled satis

of seed potatoes as "certified"

certified under authority of any
state law.

Improvements from the AAA pro

ture generations, N. C. JJonaiUson,
soeretary of the state AAA office,
said today after a preliminary sur
vey ot toe wont none in vjsb ana
being continjied this year.
Approximately 1500 springs were
improved, 90 pit reservoirs built
and 25 new wells drillod under the
program. Donaldson said the im-
proved water facilities made pos-'
sible tbe use of ranges otherwise
ungrazed with consequent over-uso
of other areas. Drift fences to di
rect stock to certain ureas has a
similar effect.
Deferred grazing, whereby range
owners will be compensated In part
for keeping stock off certani areas
for a four-mouths period, hus been
added under the $9117 program. The
dates In Oregon are March 1 to
