RESULTS )F THE
Tieing in admirably with
erence was made in this column not many weeks ago, anotner
publication of the agricultural experiment station, Oregon
State colletre. is esDeciallv deserving of attention. 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, June 21 ill'' Who
do you reckon Invited those dog

delphia? You never would guess. It was
Mr. Joseph William Martin, Jr.,

Joe, as you might know,

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

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

Column

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

Photography
Cameras can't squint. Your'
eyes must do it tor them. 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. And if quarters are
scarce come in to see us any
way. We have barrels of ad

C. 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

private enterprise. However, the main prin
ciple 'has been accepted, and must be put
