L. Patterson of Eola at its head, and having as mem bers prominent road enthusiasts of Yamhill, Polk, Marion and Benton counties. The new highway will be christened either Capital highway or Willamette highway, and it seems probable that the latter name will be selected on account of the fact that it will parallel the Willamette river for about 75 miles. The present plan calls for a high way branching off the West Side highway at Dayton, 32.4 miles south west of Portland, and extending up the west side of the Willamette river to a junction with the Salem-Dallas highway at West Salem. Which of the existing roads will be used is not yet determined, but in any event a connection will be made with Wheat land ferry. This section between Dayton and West Salem will be about 22 miles in length. It presents no difficult problems of construction and will open up a section that now has no railroad facilities. From West Salem to Brunk's cor ners the recently completed pave ment of the Dallas - Salem highway will be used and here the Willamette highway will turn to the south and pass through Independence. This section of road is one of the most heavily traveled in the state and is in urgent need of paving. The association has not yet made up a route south of Independence, but if the plans of the state highway commission prevail, and the West Side highway is extended south from Monmouth to Corvallis, then the as ciation will endeavor to get an ex tension of the Willamette highway south from Independence on a route nearer the river to Albany, and thence over the river road to Corval lis. The last named section is al ready established as a state highway by law, but no work has yet been done on it. It will be noted by an inspection of the road -map of the Willamette val .

It will then connect with the Pacitk highway a Albany, and finally with the West Side highway at Corvallis. This will make four cross connec tions in all, and at the same time the highway, will be very popular for through travel as well as for local service. Some sections are even now very heavily used. While at present no extensionsouth of Corvallis is contemplated, it would be possible to get an excellent loca tion by crossing the river at Corval lis and following the eant bank to Harrisburg, parallel with and several miles west of the Pacific highway. At Harrisburg the Pacific highway would be crossed and the Willamette Whwav would then extend to Eu- O gene by way of Coburg. In fact, at one time the highway commission seriously considered rout ing the main Pacific highwaythrough this territory. From Eugene the new Willamette highway would merge with the old Willamette highway up the middle fork of the Willamette river and over the Cascade range into eastern Oregon. The road as planned would be by far the shortest route to Crater Lake and the Klamath country. Just what attitude the highway commission will take is uncertain but it is probable that even if the new highway is placed on the map by the commission or by the legislature, im mediate construction would be out of the question until other roads are more nearly finished. It is possible that the commission might be prevailed upon to take up some of the sections now, including the stretch from Brunk's corners to Independence, and between Albany and Corvallis,especially since the lat ter piece is already provided for in the state programme. One of the first actions to be taken by the new association will be to urge the commission to pave the sec tion of the West Side highway be tween Newberg and Dayton station. This stretch has already been graded and graveled, and is ready for hard I surface. It is one of the most heavily traveled roads in Oregon, and is not J only an important connection with the new Willamette highway, but also serves Dayton, Lafayette, Dun dee, McMinnville, all the Tillamook country and the points south of Mc Minnville on the West Side highway. The unpaved section is six mileo Iong,and if a paving plant were to be set up this fall, the section could be completed early next .summer. With the hard surfacing of this section, there will be continuous paving for 35 miles from Portland. Oregonian. production recommended by the News.

FARM PRODUCTION COST IS FOUND TO IJE HEAVY Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis The cost of produce is being determined by the farm bureaus of Malheur and Sherman counties. "In solving economic problems, cost of production is a fundamental item," says the Oregon State Farm Bureau News. This has been too generally overlooked in farm mech anics." The cost of production survey of growing alfalfa in Malheur county showed that most of the money made by farmers there was on rising land values. It was found that after allowance was made for interest and normal depreciation of equip ment and other investments, the la bor incomes of more than CO farm ers were only about .$1000 a year "Considering the size of their in vestments this labor should have brought the farmers managers' sal- woes rauier than laborers said the News. The cost of producing Vhcat in Sherman county was found to be Siw?4io? buingfrom Jl.ll to $1.94. This reduces the la bor income of the farmers far below what it is generally thought to be by the public.
