The Sherman County Observer, Moro, Oregon, Friday, November 13, 1925 « 16 Eastern Oregon Counties Plan Wheat Growers Conference Dates for the all eastern Oregon economic conference on wheat have been set for February 11, 12, and 13 by officials of the college extension service and experiment station, who, with leading farmers, are sponsoring Decision to hold such a conference was reached recently at a meeting in Portland attended by college officials and county agents from all grain growing counties east of the moun tains. As problems connected with wheat raising are fairly uniform in the counties in that district it was thought that a joint conference this winter, following a fairly satisfactory season, would be opportune. Place of meeting and details of the conference are' tentative pending further conferences with leading wheat raiser? throughout the district, the advice of whom will be followed closely. Preliminary plans call iv. five subcommittees, each headed by a wheat raiser, to consider the ques tion of world supply and demand; farm management and land utilisa tion; finance and credit; grading, handling and transportation; tillage and production pracdeaa. Pendleton to favored by many as the logical meeting place for the con ference, though the opinions of more growers will be sought before this matter is settled. .E. R. Jackman, farm crops specialist in the extension service and one of the men most familiar with wheat growing condi tions, will spend the next two months in the district concerned consulting with growers and holding preliminary meetings in preparation for the cen tral conference. All 16 counties east of the moun- tains will be represented in the con ference according to present plans, as all have wheat areas of more or less importance.
