I? sister-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Poge 2Q Fri Mar. 21, 1952 Flood Control Gets Priority Farm Group Hits WSB Wage Order Flood control projects were giv en number one priority for Lane County conservation practices by the Agricultural nesources on ervation Program committee, at a meeting in the PMA offices in the Public Market Bldg. this week. The ARCP is composed of offi cials of various agencies dealing with conservation problems, in cluding the county extension of fices, the Production Marketing Administration, soil conservation districts, the forest service, and other groups.

Priorities for other conservation practices were: 4, weed control; g, irrigation; 6, range manage ment; 7, forestry management; 8, soil depletion. The group decided to request an additional PMA practice for 1953: leveling "spoil" banks along ditches to put more land in culti vation and to eliminate weed beds. The same group of persons also met as the Lane County Agricul tural Mobilization Committee and took exception to the amount of wage increases for farm work al lowed by the Wage Stabilization Board. They said the 10 per cent Increase allowed above 1950 base wages isn't enough to attract suf ficient farm help. The hourly base wage li 87 cents for most farm work. 1 &wt 1 Recreation Meeting Set Delegate of the northwest dis trict of the National Recreation AsBn., will hold their banquet in Springfield Memorial Bldg. the evening of Thursday, April S.

Fruit Fly Control Area Under Study Arguments for and against es tablishing Lane County as a "con trol area" for cherry fruit flies will be heard Tuesday, at 1:30 p.m., in the county courthouse.. The hearing follows a petition for such a control area by a fruit fly control committee of the Lane Horticultural Society headed by Lon Hawkins, of Beacon Drive. ; The fruit flies are a serious threat to commercial cherry grow lers since only a few infested cher ries are enough to prevent mar keting of a whole orchard's crop, Hawkins explained. If Lane County is ordered a control area by the State Depart ment of Agriculture, all cherry trees would be required by law to be sprayed or dusted for the cherry fruit fly. Presently, law requires any tree to be sprayed once it is proved to be infested. But, growers point out, that's usually too late to pre vent the fruit flies from spread ing to other cherry trees. At a recent meeting of the Lane Horticultural Society, local grow ers were told that orchardmen in the Salem area have experienced success in controlling the fruit fly pest through establishing a con trol area.
