New Commission Is Favored By Highland Bentgrass Group By CLAUDE STEUSLOFF Capital Journal Special Writer Formation of a Bentgrass com mission was favored by a 72-18 margin in secret ballot taken dur ing the Highland Bentgrass asso ciation all-day meeting held Mon day at the Waldo Hills commun ity hall. The association, which has re cently been incorporated, unani mously adopted a new set of by laws proposed by Robert Humph rey, chairman of the organization committee. They then re-elected Henry Hansen, Sublimity; Hobert Humphrey, Victor Point, and Del bert Sandncr, Scio, as directors. Hansen has been president of the group during the past year, the new president will 'be elected by the board of directors. Opinions Differ Two bentgrass authorities voi ced somewhat different opinions on price prospects for the coming season. Hansen, who investigated the grass seed market on a trip to the East last summer, said "Prices are more depressed than necessary, normal business and normal planting by bentgrass us ers next spring should make quite an active market." He noted that. Illinois and Ohio seed dealers plan to use Highland Bent to take the place of a short red top grass supply and good demand should devel op in northeastern U. S. and Can ada along with the Pacific coast trade. "A bad thing is planting bent in new areas to which it may not be adapted," Hansen said. Ray Teal, seed and grain mar keting specialist at Oregon State college, said: "There is lots of seed on hand, if the outlook is for a big 1957 crop the price may be lower, we must wait and sec. The price today is 33 cents and that may be all you will get all year. Crop Half Sold It is estimated that Marion county growers have sold about half of last season's crop. It sold at 47'4 cents early bu( the pres ent 33-ccnt quotations are a bit nebulous. Bent, which brought growers $2,275,000 gross income last year, ranks third in Oregon grass seed crops. Common rye grass income was $4,750,000 and perennial ryegrass brought in $3,500,000. Last year about five million pounds of clean bentgrass seed was produced in the U. S. In 1940 the production was only 750.000 pounds. During the same period crops of Kentucky blue grass, Morion bluegrass, Chew ings fescue, creeping red fescue and redtop have fluctuated, rath er widely but total yearly produce Hon of them along with bent has remained fairly constant at 27 million pounds. 39 Salem Heights Scouts Make Ski Trip to Hoodoo SALEM HEIGHTS (SpcciaD-Thirty-nine attended the annual Boy Scout ski trip to the HooDoo Ski Bowl.

School Fund Bill Readied The first move to carry out Gov. Robert D. Holmes" recommenda tions to increase basic state school support was prepared for introduc tion in the Oregon Senate lues day. . A bill calling for a "key district" plan which would change the for mula for (distribution of the basic school fund has the co-sponsorship of Sen. Monroe Swectland, Mil waukie, and Rep. Joe Rogers, In dependence, Democratic chair men of the Senate and House Edu cation committees. The complicated proposal pre sumably would mako Portland the key district. All other districts in the state participating in the bas ic school fund would be tied to it by a plan requiring them to levy n tax. If the tax is applied to the property In the key district, a dis trict then would receive from the basic school fund the difference between what it raised and the amount the same millage would raise in Portland.
