Recommend Two Changes In U. S, Grades for Wheat ' Proposed revision of federal grain grades, now before the country for dlsousslon, might well Include the creation of two new sub-classes of white wheat, believes George R. Hy slop, head of the farm crops depart ment at O. S. O,, who Is a recog nized authority on this subject. He headed a federal committee that held hearings and formulated many of the present proposals for revision. Pacific northwest farmers and buy ers of northwest wheat would profit from a new extra-soft white sub-class which would permit southern millers especially to get the soft wheats for pastry and hat bread flour that they desire, says Hyslop. Another pure white club sub-class would take care of the large amount of pure club wheat now grown but which must go as merely western white. Farmers wno desire these or other changes made are advised to write the sec retory of agriculture and members of the Oregon congressional delegation. M'CIure Urges City, County Planning , (Continued Prom Page One) what, would depend largely upon their approval by local planning .boards, and whether they were part of a coordinated scheme of meritori ous development.- Ho predicted there would be n( more tr. S. money for projects of no' particular benefit other than to put men to work. Planning boards, he said, could map city and county districts, showing sewers, streets, roads, water systems, parks, .recreational centers, etc., al ready installed; population iby dis tricts; school facilities and their needs, and the like. Then, when op portunity presented Itself for addi tional development, a thoroughly worked out base would be available, Instead of the disorganized situation existing generally when P. W. A. and 0. W. A. were Inaugurated last year. -Another purpose of the planning board would, be tochart lands that had reverted to city or county be cause of non-payment of taxes, and possibly trade some lands for others more- desirable to governmental bodies because of location. Planning boards would have the head of the city or county govern ment, the engineer and the attorney as ex-offlclo members, and would have either seven or nine other ap pointive members, Mr. McClure said. These boards would function In an advisory capacity to the respective governments they represent, he said, and their work could be listed as a C. W. A. project. He urged Immed iate action locally, so that O. W. A. funds might be received before May 1, when the program will be ended, according to present Information. A I n ii'ii I A U - ' 'it - !
