BrlillU I Massea Fifteen counties in Oregon have announced plans Jo hold county farm planning conferences la January and February. Because 'there is a limit beyond which the present staff of the state college extension service cannot' go and that this service is cooperating with the conferences,' all Oregon counties will not hold such con ferences xnis winter. J Those scheduling conferences 're Marion, Polk, . Linn, - Lane, .Benton, Washington, Columbia, Yamhill, Jackson, Josephine, Multnomah, Clackamas, Union, Commodity 0 committees have been appointed to study the situ ation and prepare recommenda tions for consideration at the fi nal conference. Lane county tops the list with 11 committees, in cluding crops, livestock, horticul ture, farm labor, dairy, farm home and rural life, sous, land fniuu auTuuijr, vulJkVJTB, poultry, and 4-H clubs. Marion and Linn, counties as well ' as Malheur, each have ar ranged 10 committee. . . Decision to hold the county farm program conference is in accord ance with recommendations made a year ago when agricultural leaders held a planning commit tee meeting, voting to ask the extension service of Oregon State college to assist in holding a country wide conference. Many new conditions confront the farming Industry and rural homes In the postwar period, Rex Hartley, Jefferson, chairman of the Marion county committee, points out. It will be the purpose of these conferences to gather all available facts about the present agricultural situation and then to chart a suggested program in the light of 'these facts as f elated to the prospective state,' national and international situation So Oregon farmers already are putting into practice some advice contained in a speech by Secre tary of Agriculture Clinton An derson. Just two weeks ago. Said Anderson, in part: The farmers have completed their war Job. They faithfully ful filled each of the war goals and now agriculture has to convert from what it has become during the wartime to what it wants to become in the promising years ahead. . Right now is the time to dig up facts, to appraise them honestly, to develop needed unity In our thinking, and to make sound plans for the future of a strong and prosperous modern agriculture.

Stubble Although; soil conservationists for a number of years have strong- advised against the practice of burning over grain straw stubble and crop residues, many fields in the WiUsmette valley received the old treatment this year. Ope rators firmly justify this practice by citing the diiiicuity or im possibility of establishing a' fall planted stand .of grain on land in which the stubble and crop residue ia turned under. Further more, farmers object to the added work of turning under high, heavy stubble following combine har vesting operations. This problem came up for study and discussion at the soils course held recently at Oregon State col lege, reports Paul W." Shepard, farm service department of Salem branch. First National bank of Portland, who was in attendance. Discussions said Shepard, led to answers of : these' problems. Hew U Handle Stabble "Straw stubble1 may be Incorpor ated most easily with the soil by breaking down! with a weighted cover-crop Idise. harrow prior to plowing, plowing without first discing can be done quite handily if the operator, equips his plow with a large rolling colter, 22 inches or greater in diameter. The colter j preferably should be notch ed or serrated, and a sharp edge should be i: maintained. It should be set to cut to a depth of one inch below the: plow-point level. Weedj chains may be used to aid in covering the Stubble. Fall-planted crop stands are dif ficult to obtain, and first-year yields' arej reduced, because ni- trate-formiag bacteria are tied up temporarily in breaking down the heavy accumulation of straw fol lowing combining operations Burning of the stubble does elimi nate the havy straw turn-under and release the nitrate-producing organizims to support the growing crop, bufthe total humus, or or ganic content. Is substantially re duced, and crop yields are ulti mately diminished. Revolutionary Idea Advanced A fair average for humus con tent in Willa&jette valley soils is believed to: be two and one half to four per cent. Decomposition of heavy stubble growth may re quire available nitrogen to the extent of one and one-half to two per cent. This feature explains the slow decajl of stubble, growth in fields jof low fertility. To (accelerate "decay of heavy stubble and stimulate growth of fall planted crops, addition of ni trate fertilizer at time of plowing the stubble; is recommended. One of the revolutionary suggestions advanced was the possibility of spring; planting a fast-growing le gume,! such! as Willamette vetch or crimson cloverj la a fall-seeded cereal crop; in areas where xaois- Grilf I Now that it's started to rain you might just as; well get the place ready in order to keep warm this winter.

In reviewing the official fig- ures, John 14 Haas, widely known hop grower and dealer, says: "We believe that the entire trade must have been exceedingly surprised j at the final harvest results com pared with previous' estimates. However by analyzing the aver age stem and leaf content of the crop; throughout the coast It Is not difficult to realize with a normal stem and leaf content the actual amount of hops harvested can be reduced by about 10,000 to 30,000 bales. I ' "The war is at an end," he con tinues. "It Is only a Question of time before European hops will be available in large amounts and. while we are doing everything in our power to promote the sale of American grown hops everywhere. we wish to emphasize the fact to our growers that unless they rea lize the tremendous danger of this poor picking and improper cur ing and are guided accordingly. the brewing industry cannot be blamed If they again resort to heavy Importations."
