Oregon Praised For Production Of Grass Seed Oregon's grass seed acreage Is the single most potent weapon ever forged for conserving th«' na tion's soil, and no other state has made such a distinctive contribu tion to tire grassland program. That is the opinion of a seed crops sub-committee which took part in the 1951 agricultural con ference at Oregon State college. Chairman of the farm crops com mittee of which the seed crops sub-committee was a section was Paulen Kaseberg, Wasco. Glenn Strome, Junction City, headed the Seed producers group. Among committee recommenda tions was one suggestion that no additional hop acreage be planted. Basis for the recommendation is the current national hop surplus. A special study of the fiber and seed flax outlook suggested name consideration be given to raising certified flax seed for export. The cereals sub-committee stressed the need for research to develop oat and barley varieties with stiffer straw. Hannchen la a good barley, the committee said, but it has weak straw which causes it to lodge badly when grown on fertile soil. Individual kernels have relatively loose hulls which skin easily, and plant breed ers were asked to develop a malt ing barley variety to overcome these two shortcomings. , In backing their claim that Ore gon has mad«? a distinct contri bution to the nations grassland program, it was pointed out that the state now grows more peren nial grass, common ryegrass and winter annual legume cover crops seeds than any other state. The committee urged develop ment of breeders and foundation seed in all classes of grass seed grown in the state to assure growers of pure seed, to hold the state's reputation as a supplier of high quality seed, and to tmr introduction of inferior seed stocks.

A five-man group of Pacific Northwest freight traffic experts known as the Northwest Class Rat«' committee this week alerte«! Pacific Northw«*st businesses of all kinds to prepare themselves to evaluate sweeping changes in the classifications anti rates affect ing all less-than-carload railroad freight within and to and fr«»m this area. The changes result from inveff- tigations and orders of the Inter state Commerce ciimmission which call for the nation's railroads to establish uniform classification of all articles throughtout the Unit«-d States. The classification determines What scale of freight rates any article is entitl'd to as compared with other freight. The reclassification of all types of less-than-carload freight will incn-ase the number of classifica tion categories from approximately ten at the present time to in ex cess of thirty. A.s a parallel ac- ion, the railroads must at the same time revise all freight rat«*« ap plying to this type of shipments to correlate them to the various classifications.

Tom. Rufus. It was one of the committee's recommendations which -was act ed on favorably at the recent statewide agricultural conference at Oregon State college. Through extensive field work, th«1 com mittee said, boundaries of areas ptimarily suited to forestry, graz ing. cultivated crops, recreation, watershed protection, wild life or combinations of these could be determined. Maps and other material pre- jxired should then become the guide for county, state, and fetl- cral programs on thes«' areas, Tom explained. Th«1 committee also recommend. <’<1 that hxleral mining laws be amended to accomplish th«* fol lowing: Make mineral prospect ing and location of mining claims subject to appropriate restrictions anil regulations in onler that abuses be prevented; and allow owners of mining claims to have mineral rights only, reserving to the government all other re sources except thos«' required for mining. Otlier recommendations includ ed on«* to have all federally owned, revenue - producing prop erty pay to local taxing units an amount equal to the tax assess ment if th«' projicrty were in pri- vate ownership. The committee cited the fact that alxmt 58 per cent of Oregon’s land area is ownt'd by various munici|>a), coun ty, state a n d federal agencies. Much of the lan«i is revenue pro ducing. yet the revenu«' returned varies from nothing for certain lands to as much as 76 percent of the receipts from others. Tom said the principle of as sessed value and payments on the basis of l«H'al tax levies has been recognized by Congress in the cast' of th«' Coos Bay revested road grants. These lands -are ap praised every ten years and pay th«' equivalent of annual tax levies from receipts. Afa STEMS ATTACHED ! this new Norge washer all you want.
