Good AttesMUuieo at IVNireiviicv
It Is reported that the county
agents of Oregon are having a
splendid and very practical confer
ence tills week at tho stuto col
lege at Corvallls. Wray I.awrcnce,
county agriculturist of this county
is one of 65 officials attending.
In speaking of tho gathering, tho
following is reported
Tho most complete array of Ore- 1
gon agricultural Information pos
sible to assemble in ono spot is
present In Corvallls this week in
the form of some 65 members of
the state college extension service
staff who met this morning for
tho opening session of thoir an
nual six-day conference.
The gathering includes 28 county
agents and their assistants, sever
al club and home demonstration
agents, an even dozen extension
specialists' and seven members of
the administration staff.
Speaking of tho personnel of tho
extension service in his opening
address to tho gathering, Paul V.
Murls, director, called attention to
the fact that while county em.
ployees of tho servico had ine reused
from 14 to 44 between 1910 and
VJZH, the staff of specialists had
only been increased f rem 1 0 tu
12&, and thc administration staff
had remained at seven throughout
tho period. This, -he said, In spite
of tho great increase in demands
on the specialist and administra
tive slarr occasioned by the great
ly enlarged activity umong tho
counties.
Major effort among the agrlctil-
tural extension agents for tho com
i lng year should bo directed toward
I encouraging enlarged or stundard
units of operation on tho part of
bo brought high enough to Insuro
better standards of living. - Farm
ing in this country, ho said, should
not bo uj lowed to become like the
industry in man over-populated
countries where limited business
permits only tho barest living tu bo
made.
Director Marls also pointed out
tho fact that agricultural exten
sion work is not confined to Ore
gon or tho United Stales, as tho
leading nations of tho world us
well as some classed as obscure
aro now rendering this service to
farmers us a matter of public
policy. Even Russia has an organ
. i nation coinparablu to that fu this
country.

CROP IMPROVEMENT
The report inuilu to tho stale col-h-mi
and to Iho county court by
Hurry O. Avery, for sovoral yt'mn.
county usrriculturUt of Union coun
ty, at tho concltmtou of thc year
1928. la very llluminaliiiK a re-
gurda a numlier of definite tilings
which Mr. Avery attempted to do
durlne that twelve month period.
While the cfflco of county ajiricul-
turltit In many localities has had
to prove Uh right to exist, it hua
long ago been proven, thoac who
know assert, that In this county
tho. office has been onu of great
practical benefit to tlio farming
Intercuts of Union county and espe
cially during tho years when Mr.
Avery held the office was there
marked Improvement in many
fields of operation and a duclded
upward trend In all fields. He
cause tho club work. In a wuy, has
tho most prominence, that Is, It
has more publicity attached to It,
that one dopartment is perhaps
more widely known by the general
county population, town and rural
alike. But from a close association
with the work, and from a perus
al of Mr. Avery's reports, it Is
found that that la but one Import
ant branch., Wo propose looking
from time to time ut the different
lines of work, which has direct as
sistance from tlui office of the
county agriculturist, thc only object
being to raise bigger und bolter
crops In Union county.
In Mr. Avery's report under
tho hcud of "Crop Improvement,"
he deals with scveraj different
linen, the first being tho coreals,
which havo been tho big farm crop
in tho county. In the endeavors
toward crop improvements,' the
first Item logically is new seed.
"One of the goals set for tho year,
wus tho pooling or orders for two
carloads or certified .KederuMon
seed wheat. -This was taken up
by the ugent and it supply of good
seed was loculcd in Umatilla coun
ty. After a number of orders were
secured thc Grande Hondo Grain i
company ut isianu t iiy otiereu to
take over and deliver tho grain at
cost. This arrangement was made
and ut thoir rcnuest six curluuds
of wheat were contracted for. This J
purchuse was ufterwurds added lu, .
u total of eight cars of seed havttih i
been secured.
The nursery for the study of
wheat en thc J. A. Gasklll farm
near fmblor was planted In coop
eration with thc cuunty ugent und
this year, again wus tho subject for
an Important part of the program
on thu furm crops fled tour. -Of
tho total of STt farmers on the trip,
more than two-thirds visited the
nursery plot and joined in the dis
cussion of varieties led by I. K.
Stephens, representing tho exten
sion service. His recommendations
wero that no now wheats should
be substituted for local varieties
ut tho present time, but the nur
sery and other trials of promising
varieties should bo continued,
Tho efforts made by numeroun
farmers In the valley looking to
ward certification of seed displayed
a forward step. The Inspection for
certification was made by extension
service specialists and by the coun
ty ugent. The following Is tho list
of those' whose seed passed . tho
test for certification: -
