Hill Visitors Rough Summerfallow Holds George Howell Visits Soni Moisture Much Better Than At Goldendale, Washington Smooth Summeri allow; Use Of Grasses Advocated Erosion control practices put into effect in ¿parts of Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam counties have withstood well one of the most erosive seasons In Oregon history, reports C. E. Hill, district mana ger for the Soil Conservation service in Oregon. Hill, with A. E. Victor, ECW administrative as sistant from the regional office, recently completed a scouting trip to observe conditions through parts of eastern Oregon. On finely tilled summer fallow lands, much of the water had run off the slopes and carried with it valuable soil. In such cases, sheet erosion occurred on the upper ajopas with a gully type farther down which carried soil to the low er flat areas. In contrast to these ] conditions, fields under control in! the Wildhorse project of the soil, conservation service, showed that a program of rough tillage, made possible by the use of disk imple-i ments with crop residues, appear- d to be effective in preventing ^osion. Moisture Saved Where such rough summerfallow or fall planted grain on land so treated, was observed, there is a three fold value in prospect. Loss of soil was largely prevented, more water was absorbed and stored in the subsoil, and additional resi dues will improve the physical condition and add plant food, Hili points out. Use of grass in certain instances was found to be effective in hold ing erosion on a recent inspection trip made by G. R. Hyslop of Ore gon State college with a class of students in cereal production. Even on land where gullies had (started, a row <if grass would serve to spread the flow and halt its progress, Hyslop observed. Use of grass strips at critical points, or near the thin edge of finlds is sometimes practical, he said. A good coverage of fall grain, particularly if _ drilled across the natural drainage flow, or the pres ence of stubble, also served to aid in erosion control this winter, Hys lop reports. Unfortunately, much of the fall grain was slow in starting and had not obtained enough growth when the winter came on to give much protection to the soil.

Now his majesty has a small principality.

New York No state in the union is receiv ing more advantageous results from higher education at so low t cost as that now obtainable in Oregon, made possible by unifica tion of administrative control, Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter reported to the State Board of Higher Education at its latest meeting held at Oregon State col lege. Chancellor Hunter, who has now served as executive head of the system for nearly six months, has just returned from a national educational convention where uni fied administration of higher edu cation was a chief topic of discus sion. ‘‘Efficient administrative control, the elimination of duplications and wastes, the reduction of total ex penditures amounting to almost a million dollars, and a decrease of nearly 100 staff members, all have placed the Oregon system on a basis of economy found almost no- where else in the United States, Chancellpr Hunter rep<YFted. “At the same time, a more uniform standard of quality in organiza tion, personnel and service bas been attained.” Chancellor Hunter said the two greatest needs at present are as surance against political inter ference with details of the system, and sufficient financial support to maintain and gradually advance the high standards achieved. riculture. । Kent Grange, No. 688 held its regular meeting Saturday evening, March 14.
