RECLAMATION GIVES HOPE FOR NEW FARMERS Control of water through recla­ mation offers the greatest oppor­ tunity for increasing the number of economic farm units in Oregon, says L>r. W. L Powers, head of the soils department at Oregon State college, in an introduction to the triannual report of the Oregon Reclamation congress covering the three annual conventions from 1038 to 1940, inclusive. The present irrigated area in Oregon recently has been estimat­ ed at 1,500.000 acres. It appears probable that this can ultimately be increased by perhaps 500,000 acres, says Dr. Powers About 152.000 acres are within 70 devel- oped drainage or dyking districts in the state and nearly a million acres still are susceptible of im­ provement by farm tiling or com­ munity drains latest census figures show that the increase in the number of farms in Oregon has been confined largely to the irrigated areas. To date 1500 new families have set­ tled on the Vale-Owyhee project land. As to future reclamation devel­ opment, Dr. Powers points out the possibility of small feasible projects in Douglas and Josephine counties and the desirability of re­ examining the John Day project in the light of recent power de­ velopments. Early completion of the Deschutes project is needed, he says, and there may be a com­ bined flood control and reclama­ tion approach to the Grand Ronde project. f 8 MARINE CORPS DUE FOR EXPANSION The US Marine corps probably will be authorized very shortly to recruit a larger number of men than it was allowed to enlist all during 1940. it was revealed by Major James B. Hardie, recruiting officer in charge of this district. The names of a considerable number of applicants who already have been accepted have been placed on a waiting list, pending such time as they can actually be enlisted. The quota for February most likely will exceed that for this month, the major believes. Proba­ bly by March the Marine corps will be allowed to expand to such a degree that new recruiting sta­ tions will have to be established in this district to take care of the enlistments. Recommendations for opening up new stations at Klam­ ath Falls, Ore and Lewiston. Ida, already have been made. At pres­ ent the Portland district main­ tains recruiting stations at Salem and La Grande, Ore., Walla Walla, Wash, and Boise, Ida., in addition to headquarters at Portland.

BURNS On the Plaza i The greatest field for drainage and irrigation remaining in Ore- gon, however, is in the Willam- ette valley, he says. While there are close to 750 000 acres of good irrigable soil types in the valley, various limitations make it im­ probable that more than half a million acres will be irrigated in the next generation. "Sound reclamation decreases the unit cost of production and increases quality of products, and it renders the least area sufficient for the support of a family and thus contributes toward a peace­ ful world," said Dr. Powers. • Mr. and Mrs. Ned Mars were business callers in Grants Pass Tuesday afternoon. • The Rev.
