GAS TAKEN
Bill Sctriitt of Sanitary Service
Co. Inc.-Tuesday reported to po
lice that someone during the night
climbed the' fence surrounding his
garbage trucks and drained about
40 gallons of gas from them. '
Four bearings, designed to
determine the desirability and
necessity of establishing a com
modity commission for Oregon
growers of chewing fescue and
creeping red fescue seed later
this month were announced by
State Agricultural Department
Director James F. Short Tues
day.
Hearings are slated in Marion,
Clackamas, Union and Linn counties.
These counties produce more
than 5 per cent of the total pro
duction of these grasses, Short
said. Growers of these seeds
filed a petition, the first comple
ted under the 1953 Commodity
Commission enabling act, in May
asking for the hearings.
Dates and places of the hear
ings; slated to start at 8 p.m.
follow:
Marion County July 22,
Grange Hall in Woodburn.
Union County July 25, Farm
Bureau Hall at Island City.
Linn County July 26, ML
Pleasant Schoolhouse, south of
Stayton.
Clackamas County July 29,
Grange nail at loiton.
Frank McKennon, plant divi
sion chief, and Hugh Taylor,- his
assistant, will conduct the hear
ings for the Agricultural Depart
ment McKennon will be at
Woodburn and Island City and
Taylor-at Colton and ML Pleas
ant.
.The law directs the department
to consider six specific factors in
determining, following hearings, 1
whether a proposed commission
is in the, general welfare of the
growers of the community..
These factors are:
1. Current ; market prices to
grower.
2. Costs of production..
3. Market price trends.
4. Stability of prices.
5. Relationship between price
and all production cost factors.
6. Commodity utilization andj
possibility- of i increasing utiliza-i
tion by research, promotion, im
proved marketing practices and
improved time and place utility.
If the department should de
termine, upon basis of the hear
ings, that need exists for this
commission, the department will
later conduct a referendum
among all growers of the grass
seeds.
A commission will be created
only, Short said, if the total vot
ing growers produce more than
one-third of the total quantity of
the commodity grown in Oregon.

New, highly mechanized flax,
processing operations at Jeffer--son
will go a long way toward
reviving the Willamette Valley
flax industry, federal agronomist
Jesse Harmon of Corvallis pre
dicted Tuesday.
The flax expert, who is a U.S.
Department of Agriculture engi
neer stationed at Oregon State
College, helped develop the ma
chinery which will process flax
on an assembly line process. A
group of investors bought the
equipment after the government
experiments.
Harmon told Salem Kiwanis
Club at a luncheon Tuesday that
he believed fibre flax still has
a great potential in the valley.
even though flax acreage has de
clined from a peak of 18,000 to
only 2,000 at present
He said the high cost of hand
labor ' was a big factor in the

decline, since foreign eompeti
tion was based on cheap labor.
Improved machinery, to re-'
duce the man hours of labor in
volved, is the only answer to this
problem, Harmon indicated. Fast
handling, automatic drying, gen
tle but thorough extraction of
seed and fibre are among the ,
accomplishments of the machin

two industrial movies taken ia
the valley flax fields and plants.
The only flax operations re

U.S. areas which can grow fibre
flax successfully. ,
