Rolnnson. chairman of the Union County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee. The ASC chairman said that precautionary measures are urg ed for all farmers and ranchers with farm ponds. But neighbors, people from town, and other visi tors also need to be alert around open water. Ponds are especially hazardous for children, he add ;d. Approximated 40 farmers In Union county have built farm ponds on their land in the past iive jears under the Agricultural ConcerVation Program, Rob inson reported. He pointed out that this figure does not oover all ponds constructed in the county, but only those which the ASC county committee approved for ACP cost-sharing assistance. Nationally the ACP has shared construction costs on about 1, 600,000 storage-type ponds. Farm ponds, built with ACP cost sharing, are constructed for agricultural purposes, but fishing and swimming are often recrea tional by products. "Well managed farm ponds, properly built with drains, floats, overflows and filters, not only of fer conservation benefits such as water for livestock, irrigation, and erosion control but they're nice to have around for fishing, swimming, and even boating." Robinson stated. Although ACP farm ponds are built to rigid specifcations, not all ponds are alike. They vary because of their conservation use, location, size, drainage, shape, re inforcement and overflow facil ities. Some characteristics of farm ponds are: They are usually constructed some distance from the farm house. Most ponds have some dep water. Ponds usually have some step sides. Banks and side slopes usual ly are covered with grass and may be slippery- CWiirman Robinson also point ed out that other conservation measures also may be water haz ards, including such practices as detention structures, pits, drain age ditches, floodways, levees, dikes, spillways and channel clearance projects.

Oregon Calf Crop Increases The 1959 Oregon calf crop was estimated at 647.000 head, about 6 per cent greater than the 609, 000 head estimated for 1958, ac cording to the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting S-rvice. The 19ri9 calf crop was 21 per cent greater than the 10-year (1948-571 average of 533.000 head. Calves born in 1959 were 83 per cent of the 752.000 head of cows and heif ers 2 years and older that were on hand January 1, 1959. The per centage was 86 last year also. while the 10-year average is 83 per cent. J"his percentage of cows and heifers en January 1 is not strictly a calving rate. The January 1 inventory of cows and heifers 2 years old and over does not in clude all heifers giving birth to calves during the year, nor does th? inventory include cows that are sold before calving. The pr centag? is intendtd to show the trend in productivity over a period of time. It may fluctuate from year to vear due to variations in cow slaughtering during the year and trends in breeding herd re placements.

The report tiy raidget Director Maurice H. Stans was the admin istration's answer to claims by Democratic leaders that they had trimmed the President's appropri ations requests by $1,881,000,000 a".d knocked another 700 million dollars off his planned "back door"' financing.
