It is a report on "Land Capabilities and uescnuies area 01 central wregon. . The renort. a codv of which has iust reached the desk refers to lands extending roughly a distance of 57 miles north ; and south and nine miles east and west and comprising 336, ' 795 acres, of which about one-third is considered in relation ' to irrigation. The soil conservation survey, which is the fea ture of the report, recognizes five general land use classes ? formerly in cultivation, wooaiana ana lana now laie. it win be of real value for reference and as a guide to use of the future. ' The section devoted to irrigated land management, with soil analyses and recommendations for special fertilizing ', practice in relation to the various crops, is of great interest. ' Here it should be noted that some of the observations go back .; to the results of experiments of sulphur on alfalfa land was one ol tne recommendations " made after those early soil tests. Yield figures over more than 80 years have shown how sound was the advice. Irrigation methods, too, come in for much discussion, which is given added meaning by the excellent accompanying illustrations. , The penalties of over-grazing, a subject especially impor tant this year, what with the loading of Oregon ranges with ' thousands of refugee cattle from the drought stricken lands ; of California, is strikingly brought home by a series of photo- graphic reproductions of range in excellent, good, fair, poor and very poor condition. Two to three acres of the excellent range or 20 or more acres of the very poor would provide for one cow for one month. The desirability of scientific manage ment of grazing lands is manifest. At a time when more and more recognition is being given to the progressive economic menace of topsoil destruction, the report points out that both wind and water erosion must : be resisted in the area. Water erosion is chiefly present on ( Irrigated slopes and, where present, calls for contour cultiva : tion. Wind erosion is manifest mainly in the areas of gross pver-grazing and in certain exposed sections where dry larm ; ing has been practiced. It is encouraging to note that the examples of wind erosion on agricultural lands are drawn ; largely from a period, before water (as in the case of the North Unit) was brought to the summer fallowed wheat lands. In evaluating the report it is to be remembered that its ; preparation, including the survey on which it is based, is no : hasty compilation, but is, instead, the culmination of a task ; which was under way for nearly nine years. It was in the spring of 1939 that the soil conservation service and the ex periment station'cooperativoly began their survey of the Des chutes area. The fine color mapping' of the area to which we earlier referred and the 63 page special bulletin in pamphlet ; form, which we have just been endeavoring to review, are the record of the survey and of the facts and conclusions which it brought to light. Police plans for guarding against dangerous use of the Drake park foot bridge at water pageant time will be accepted with a feeling of relief by the general public. For the purpose for which it was built, namely for pedestrian movement across the Deschutes, the bridge is still adequate and, accord ing to information from city officials, is still safe. Its use, however, must be confined to this purpose. It was not de signed to bear the weight of hundreds and in its weakened condition it has become apparent that an excess burden could readily result in collapse. Year after year it has been sub jected to this burden. Now the danger is officially recognized and we are assured that extra patrolling will be done on the nights of July 3 and 4 to prevent more than normal use. This is good. There are enough hazards to life and limb at celebra tion time (and will still be "enough) without asking for aiv other which could result in real catastrophe. Washington Scene By Harnmii V. Nichols (United Prose Staff Correaiiontlcnt) Washington, June 21 ill'' Who do you reckon Invited those dog gone democrats to spy by tele vision on the republican conven tion which starts today in Phila delphia? You never would guess. It was Mr. Joseph William Martin, Jr., republican ol North Altleboro, Mass., the speaker of the house or representatives. Joe, as you might know, wouldn t mind silttne on Mr. Tru man's White House balcony and picking up a sun tan. Umcially. Anyhow, all this stuff happen ed this way: Bob Coar, affable coordinator of the Joint senate and house re cording radio studios, so-called, sent every member of congress a fine little letter. It began: Sends Invitation "Through the courtesy of Speaker of the house Joseph W. Martin and the loan of two large screen television receivers from G. E., we shall he able to provide complete television showings of both national conventions . . ." Okay. There you are. The si lence that came from the repub lican side of congress, naturally, didn't bust any eardrums. They will be on the sending end next week. But the democrats hov, they thought it was wonderful! Two sets have been installed in the caucus room of the old house office building on the third floor. The public won't have to pay a dime in taxes for all of ihls. But, not having paid anything, the public Isn't Invited. This is an Invitational deal, exclusively.

Drookinat Wood Yard Phone 7H7 Washington Column By Pet Ed son INEA Waahinaton Correspondent) Washington (NEA) One of the frankest reports on conditions behind the iron curiam nan jut been made public by FAO the food and agriculture organization of the United Nations after a special mission survey on the farm situation in Poland. The report indicates that Pol ish agriculture is In a pretty .lenifirnhle state. There Is insuf ficient grain production to give the Poles an adequate uki. Though the Polish government has been trying to export grain to western Europe In exchange for consumers' goods which are also needed, Poland should really be importing grain. Cattle are tubercular and milk distribution is unsanitary. Eighty tier cent of the children showed a positive reaction to tuberculin tests. Thirty per cent, or about 3,000,000 children, particularly the war orphans, are undernour ished, rickety, undersized, or de formed. Housing la still Inadequate. Many of the privately-owned farms are too small to support a family and cannot produce food for sale. The government Is trying to operate these collective farms side by side with privately-owned small farms. The privately-owned farms are overtaxed. The rate is based on a theoretical yield of rye at an assumed price. Part of the tax must be paid in grain. The lower the yield In bad crop years, the harder the farmer is hit. Many farmers were in ar rears on. the past year's taxes arm workers are not repre sented In the government. Though the report does not say so, this is apparently due to li quidation of the pre-war peasant parties by the communists. At any rate, the farmers have no means of remedying their plight ah this and more is topped by vicious double-wage scale and two-price system that had dis rupted the economy. . Govern ment workers and employees of tne government-owned, commu nlzed industries, are paid low wage scales. But they have ra tion cards which permit them to buy food at low p'rlces In gov ernment stores. About -42 per cent of the people have these ration cards. Everybody else must scramble for food at high prices in the "ree market. w t . I The FAO mission report of 150 pages is studded with more than that many black-type recommen dations of what ought to be done to remedy these and other bad conditions. For instance: . Install a uniform rationing sys tem with a single free-market price. Use more fertilizer to make up for the manure short ages resulting from reduction of' livestock numbers. Grow more green and leafy vegetables and change the Polish diet to a high er protein content. Boil the milk until it can be pasturized. Re form the land-holding and land- use system. Divorce agricultur al schools from political control. Ketorm the tax system. Expand the salt-water fishing industry In me name. Allot gardens to fac tory and office workers. Double the timber cut to build more houses. And so on. How much attention will he paid to these recommendations is unknown. The 10-man mission of farm experts which made the survey was under the leadership ui iNuoie uiarK. ( AU deputy di rector, former associate director ot the Wisconsin agricultural ex periment station.

Go from a dimly lighted, room' Into bright sunlight and, for. a moment, you're dazzled. You "can't see a thing" until your eyes become adjusted. Step' back Into the room, and It's as "dark as pitch" again only for the moment your eyes require for adjustment. The Iris of your eye con-, tracts or expands, lets in more or less light, permits you to see almost equally as well un der a widely varying range of light conditions. And this 13 almost equally true of the iris diaphragm of a camera lens. There's one big exception. Your eye functions automatically, while you must make the ad justment for your camera's eye. . What happens to your eyes when you step onto a glaring ly white beach under bright sun? They narrow a bit, 'you squint until the Iris is con tracted enough to offset the brighter-than- average view. Then squint the camera's lens, too. A half stop will gen erally be enough with Koda chrome film, 35 mm or movie. The reverse is true on hazy, cloudy days for scenes in shade. You widen your cam era's eye a little. r . That's really all there is to exposure. Just how much ap erture correction you must use is easy to learn. An exposure meter is by far the best known way to determine the amount of existent light and the cor rect exposure by way of lens opening or "degree of squint" and shutter speed. The combi nation of the two determines how much light will reach the film. The Camera Dept. at Sy mons Bros, can show you the three leaders in the light me ter field, the General Electric DW58 at $19.95, the Weston Master II at $29.67 and the General Electric PR1 at $32.50. And If the meter is something that will have to wait for a while, then don't put off pick ing up a Kodaguide your next trip down town. For 25c you ran rave dollars in film and finishing.

Girard Davidson, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, told arl interested crowd in Eugene that the Department has adopted and affirmed the program for cooperative sustained -yield agreements between properly qualified timber growers and the Bureau of Land Man agement. This Bureau manages the revested railroad and wagon road land grants in West ern Oregon of approximately 2,500,000 acres. This decision opens the way for an enduring forest industry, based on sound private enter prise. With well-planned cooperative sustained yield units, remanufacturing plants can multi ply the number of jobs available.. Slabs and sawdust can be worked up into saleable pro ducts; low grade.logs salvaged and marketed. With this increased industry, population will grow. The tax base will expand and stabilize. Under unified management of forest lands, recreation facilities .can be improved. Many points are still in adjustment. The Department's offer must, of course, provide community and industry security and a reason able opportunity or proBt to be acceptable to private enterprise.
