kets because of acreage increases
elsewhere spurred by price sun
ports, which he called "a head
ache for your officers during the
past year."
Oregon, he said, now has five
limes as much plow land in seed
crops as has any other state. The
value has doubled in the past seven
years, he sain, and in 1950 was
worth to the stale's growers some
$.13,000,000. The gain, he said, was
75 percent through acreage in
crease rather than chiefly through
any price rise.
In the past year, Strome said,
the league membership gained 24
percent and now totals 645. A num
ber of objectives were gained in
1950, jmong them getting grades
specified for malting barley.
Farmers whose fields have tansy

Rex Warren, Oregon State col

that sheep aren't bothered by tansy
ragwort. He suggested coastal pas

livestock program.

The Russian leader looked as

pliout a year earlier during a face
tnface meeting at the Kremlin.
That's the only audience Kirk has
had with Stalin since he went to
Moscow 18 months ago.
As a matter of fact, except for
four Soviet guards, Kirk told re
porters after a White House call,
he sees l.jtle of the Russian people.
"Russians are not allowed lo
come to the embassy, so there j
no contact," he said.

Whether Kirk goes to a hotel or
to a soccer game, they pick him
up at the embassy gate and tag
along.
Sometimes, Kirk said, he shares
cigareU with them.
But, "Don't get the idea I'm
buddies with those guys."
Aside from the guards, who are
supposed In be on the job for "pro
