Conservation
Farming Pays,
Ranchers Agree '
Farmers and ranchers of Ore
gon and the far western stat6
made record gains for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1949, in put
ting "conservation farming" prac
tices on their lands, according to
the year-end report of the U.S.
soil conservation service.
In reviewing conservation de
velopments in Oregon, J. H.
Christ, Pacific coast region con
servator of the service, cited the
growth of. the soil conservation
district movement as a "trend of
the times."
While farmers were putting
more "broad strokes of conserva
tion on the land" during the 12
month period, interest in the farmer-voted,
farmer-"action" d i s-
trict program accelerated In all
live states in the regional area,
Christ said.
The service promotes a pro-
gram of dlrect-to-farmer technical
and engineering assistance in the
states or Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Nevada and California and
the territories of Alaska and Ha-
waii from its headquarters in
.Portland.

Districts now cover a good
share of the farm and ranch lands
of the far western states. At the
end of the fiscal year, there were
190 of them organized in the re
gion, including an area of nearly
98 million acres and 136,785 farms
and ranches. More than 24,000 of
the handy farm conservation
plans, which farmers use as a
"blue print" to guide them in
their operations, are in use in the
five states.
1 Approximately one-fourth of
the regional land area Is now
within the boundaries of districts.
All of Alaska is included in a dis
trict. Landowners of the Pacific coast
regional states voted In 14 new
soil conservation districts and ex
panded the acreages of 13 dis
tricts that were already operating,
during the 12-month fiscal period.
Six Districts Added
In Oregon, farmers and ranch
ers had 27 soil conservation dis
tricts organized at the end of the
fiscal year. Since July 1,4949, six
additional farming communities
have received district status. They
are: Klamath, Silver Creek In
Marloh county; Sherman county,
Burnt River in Baker oounty; Jo
sephine county and Illinois Val
ley lti Josephine county. The new
districts put 2'A million more
acres under the good land use
banner.
Three other state farming areas
are In the organization stage. A
successful hearing has been held
by east Multnomah county land
owners while district-forming pe
titions submitted by north Marlon
and Jackson county farmers have
been accepted by the Oregon soil
conservation district committee.
The mid-state soil conservation
district will vote on an addition
to its area on February 3.
Districts now comprise one
twelfth of the land of Oregon and
one-sixth of Its farms and ranch
es. That farming the soil .conserva
tion way pays off for' farmers is
indicated in reports of typical
Oregon landowners. They show
that most farmers are finding
soil conservation a highly profit
able undertaking. Today, nearly
all farmers, following a complete
,land use program, claim gains
ranging from 2u to-iuo per cent in
increased land production.
Increase IKwcrlbed
Christ described the sharp In
crease in the use of conservation
nractices as an indication that
farmers, generally, 'want to use
their lands in a way that will keep
them safe and In shape for top
production.
In working with farmers dur
ina thi fiscal vear. Christ ex
plained that the service's field
technicians and engineers gave
direct help to more than 20,000
farmercooperators of districts in
the region. Each of these farmers
Vina rieveloned comDlete farm soil
and water conservation plans for
every one of more than b'-ti mil
lion acres on their places.
Since the first soli conservation
district south Tillamook was
formed In February, 1940, district
cooperatois have completed a
lnrpp amount of conservation
work on Individual farms, Here

Federal Grants to States
Continue to Grow, Revealed
Chicago IP" The Council of
State Governments reports mat
the amount of money given by
the federal government to states
nearly doubled between 1946 and
1948.
Federal grants-in-aid to states
totaled nearly $1,500,000,000 in
1948. compared with $770,700,000
in 1946, a study by the council
showed.
Last year's grants, the council
said, equaled nearly four per cent
of total federal expenditures.
'If the upward trend of federal
aid continues," the council said,
"there is little likelihood that any
considerable tax reduction will
occur in fields suitable for state
and local taxation.
is the record stacked up at the
close of the fiscal year:
Data Presented
Some 5,000 acres were contour
farmed, Instead of using old up-
and-down-hill tillage m e t h o d s.
Cover crops to hold soil, save
moisture and build-up fertility
were seeded on 2,413 acres. Ap
proximately 170,000 acres were
put under crop residue manage
ment to hold topsoil in place. Dis
trict farmers laid out 3,631 acres
in contour strip cropping as a soil
saver, and held its position as a
leader among Pacific Northwest
states in the use of this practice.
Good range management practic
es were applied on 388,620 acres.
Upwards of 17,uuu acres ol pas
ture were improved. Selected con
servation mixtures wen seeded
on 3.543 acres of range and 9.940
acres of pasture lands. A good
start was made in woodland man
agement with 2,829 ncres under
conservation practices. A total of
207 water storage ponds for farm
and ranch use have- been con
structed. Twelve miles of soil
saving terraces and 35 miles of
field diversions are now helping
control runoff on sloping lands.
Around 18,484 acres of wet lands
have been surveyed and drained.
This work includes laying of near
ly 200.000 lin. ft. of closed, and
215 miles of open drainage
ditches.
Farmers also have planted 36
miles of field wind breaks. They
have Improved the application of
Irrigation water on 21,835 acres,
and leveled 16,105 acres to obtain
better use of water. New Irriga
tion systems have been installed
or old ones completely revamped
along conservation lines on 296
farms. Selected conservation mix
tures of grasses and legumes
have been seeded on 26,345 acres
"If the states and localities are
to regain some of the tax sources
pre-empted by the federal govern
ment, it is essential that federal
tax reduction be accomplished,
and this is dependent upon a sub
stantial reduction in federal ex
penditures.". Federal grants-in-aid to states
averaged $8.04 per capita during
fiscal 1947, the council said.
Total per capita grants In sev
eral states were considerably
higher than the national average,
the council said, while only a few
states reported grants significant
ly below the average.
The council said 13 states ap
pear to have benefitted substan
tially from federal grants. The
council based its conclusion on a
study of the relationship between
per capita grants and per capita
income, and between per capita
grants and per capita federal tax
collections. ,
Four States Lucky
The study shows that in 1947
lduno, Montana, worth uaKote
and Wyoming had the combina
tion of higher per capita grants
nnd 'income anu low per capita
federal tax , payments. Four
states, California, Colorado, Ne
vada and Washington, had rela
tively high per capita grants and
incomes.
Arizona,' New Mexico, Oklaho
ma, South Dakota and Utah re
ceived large per capita grants.'
the council said, with low per
capita federal taxes.
Grants-in-aid were defined by
the council as "payments made by
the national government to state
and local governments, subject to
certain conditions, for the support
of activities administered by the
states and their political subdivisions."
ined Yield
Hearing Slated
A hearing for the purpose of
getting the views of interested
people concerning the .establish
ment of a Lakeview federal sus
tained yield unit has been an
nounced by regional forester, 11.
J. Andrews, U. S. forest service of
Portland. The hearing will be held
in the county courthouse at Lake
view, Ore., at 10 a.m. March 7.
Particular attention is directed
to the fact that the proposed pro
gram will apply only to national
forest lands and timber. It will in
no way control the management
or disposition of private forest
resources, nor will It affect the
management of other public lands
in the area.
The forest service estimates
that the sustained yield cut from
this area will be 50 million hoard
feet per year. Involved are 488,000
acres of national forest lands with
a total merchantable timber vol
ume of 3,021,498,000 board feet,
most of which is ponderosa pine.
If the unit Is established, the
forest service will require that the
timber harvested from the land be
given fullest practical manufac
ture within the Lakeview area.
Andrews believes that an assured
supply of timber for the mainten
ance of local plants will lend con
siderable support and stability to
the economy of the Lakeview
area and will permit the expan
sion of remanufacturlng activities
in the area.

News of Tumalo Community
Washington, Jan. 23 UB Two
senate republicans urged party
leaders today to denounce the ad
ministration s do nothing China
policy in the forthcoming state
ment of GOP principles and aims.
Sen. Styles Bridges, N. H.. and
William F. Knowland, Cal., said in
separate interviews that the re-.
publicans should express their dis
satisfaction with far eastern pol
icy In a party document being pre
pared for the November election
campaign.
The statement is being drafted
by the republican national com
mittee in cooperation with senate
and house groups.
. One foreign policy plank, edited
by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg,
R., Mich., makes no mention of
China or any other specific area
of the world. It states in general
terms that the United States
should continue foreign aid with
in the limits of Its financial abil
ity and try to reform the United
Nations to strengthen independ
ent nations and check aggressors.
Both Bridges and Knowland in
dicated they are dissatisfied with
such a general approach.
Bridges said the republicans
should come out sharply against
the "democratic do-nothingism" in
the far east.
Knowland added that the state
ment should "cover the water
front," including specific areas In
Europe as well as such critical
spots as China, Formosa and Korea.
