OREGO COMMITTEES 1 - NAMED FOR LIE Committeemen in all the ten communities In which Lane coun ty la divided for the carrying out of the federal agricultural con servation program met during the past week and elected commit7 teemen for the year 1038. O. S. Fletcher, county agricultural agent, attended all meetings and took part In the discussion of the conservation program for the coming year. Mr. Fletcher Is sec retary of the Lane County Agri cultural Conservation association. W. F. Marshall, assistant secretary of the association, also assisted the community chairmen In con ducting the meetings and pres enting the 1838 program, itay mond A. Johnson, president of the association, assisted at the Loranc and Cottage Grove meetings. " Those explaining the program stated that there are limits to what It can do. For example, il alone cannot prevent burdensome surpluses nor does it provide a means of storing reserves so thai they will not depress prices. Nor can it fully Insure the farmer against losses from natural cal amities, such as drought or In sects. . The conservation program can, however, help raise farm Income by helping farmers to produce more economically, by providing conservation payments to farmers, and by Improving the soil to make It able to produce more when needed. In addition, for some crops it Indirectly Influences the volume and therefore the prices of these farm products. Farmers who are not now co operating in the agricultural con servation program but wish to do 10 In 1938 may file work sheets and sign up in the program at the county agent's office In Eugene beginning Monday. i At the beginning of the meet ings, the current farm outlook and the agricultural situation in past years leading to the agricul tural conservation program were discussed. The detailed workings of the 1S38 program were also explained. It was pointed out that for each farm there will be a, soil depleting goal and a soil building goal. . There will be deductions from payments if the acreage of soil depleting crops exceeds the soli depleting goal and there will also be deductions if the soli building goal Is not reached. Al thought 1037 has been compara tively favorable for most farmers in the United States, with normal weather in 1038 and 1039 grow ing surpluses and lower prices are in prospect for some commo dities.

NEW REPORT CI A new report card for the pri mary grades and another for the intermediate and upper grades of the rural schools of Lane county has been adopted, according to L. C. Moffitt. The adoption of the card is optional with the teachers but a majority have expressed a willingness to use it Growth in habits and attitudes as well as growth in school sub jects are checked. In the primary grades under the head of growth in habits and attitudes are the following: "Habits of Work." "Habits of Play," "Habits of Thrift," "Habits of Courtesy" and "Habits of Health," while under the same head in the intermediate and upper grades are: "Work Habits -as an Individual," "Other Characteristics as an Individual, "Characteristics as a Member of a Group," and "Physical Education Health." The purpose of the report card is to enlist the co-operation of parents and teachers in the growh of the child, it is explained by Superintendent Moffitt. It is not a comparison of the work of one child with another but it is, in stead, a message to parents which attempts to familiarize them with the experience of the pupil In his school life, especially in terms of his growth as compared with his ability to progress insofar as the school can know. IS RE! NECESSARY FOR Developmenf and control of water resources, held by many progressive citizens as the key to Oregon's future, rests upon faci lities to gather hydrologie data, it is declared in a report just is sued by the state planning board, entitled "Basic Data Needed for Water Conservation In Oregon." In addition to pointing out the great value of basic data, the re port contains definite recommen dations for an efficient system under which this information may be obtained, and includes costs and sources of funds for the work. Needed immediately, the report declares, are 75 additional preci pitation stations, 12 additional snow survey courses, 136 addi tional stream gauging stations, 8 additional stations, and 320 groundwater explorations and ob servation wells. These will cost 5251,810 to install, and will entail an annual operation cost of $71, 750. Facts and figures obtained from these sources will be of almost incstimatable value in mapping out flood control projects, in planning irrigation systems, and even in such everyday wrrk as planning crons, it is pointed out. The . report, a moiar achieve ment of the board's advisory committee ' on water resources, also suggests supplementary study projects on water resources to cost $1,057,200. These include, de termination of water quality in cluding sanitary surveys of streams, silting surveys, erosion studies, effects of forest cover on stream flows, river utilization surveys, irrigability and drainage land classification, and fish con servation studies. Funds for the .work should come largely from the federal government, the. report points out, and similar programs are suggest ed for other states as a part of a national program of water use and conservation. The report was compiled under the direction of V. B. Stanbery, N 1 Kovv DlSmiifrrJ consultant and exesutive secret ary of the planning board. Mem bers of the advisory committee are G. H. Canfield, Portland, chairman; 'J. W. Cunningham, Carl E. Green, C. I. Grimm, Har lan B. Holmes, R. E. Koon, M. R. Lewis, A. M. Piper, H. E. Selby, B. E. Stoutmeyer, and E L. Wells, all of Portland, and C. E. Strick lin Salem. The report, which has been ap proved by Governor Martin, was submitted to him by Ormond R. Bean, board chairman.
