Tillamook Uses More Irrigation CORVALLIS Surprising as it may seem, the chief development of irrigated pasture in western Oregon is In Tillamook county, where the average annual rainfall is something over 90 inches, ac cording to Art King, extension specialist In soils at O. S. C. Three new sprinkler Irrigation systems for this purpose are now being In stalled there, he reports, and Indi cations are that several more will be added before the season is over. A comprehensive, state - wide, workable plan to preserve timber bordering Oregon highways will be sought by the Oregon State Plan ning board, according to word re ceived by members of the Morrow county planning commission from Ormond R. Bean, state board chairman. Members of the Morrow commission and others in this county are expected to cooperate with the state board on the pro ject, it was stated. The study, which will be under the direction of a committee head ed by C. J. Buck, regional forester and member of the planning board, will have a three-fold purpose: 1. To develop the underlying considerations upon which a broad state-wide policy to protect timber bodering roadsides can be made. To make an inventory, classi fication and valuation of the tim ber bordering highways. 3. To analyze functions and re sponsibilities of various public agencies, to make recommenda tions as to zones where each agen cy should function, and to recom mend needed legislation. Cooperation of the forestry, re creation and transportation divis ions of the planning board will be enlisted in the study project, and and assistance will be obtained from the U. S. forest service, bu reau of public roads, state highway commission and others. WPA workers assigned to the planning board will be used for compilation and other detail work. Data now being obtained by a field investigation of timber along highways by the state highway commission will be made available for the board's study, it was stated by Sam Boardman, of the state highway commission. The study will seek to determine a standard of roads meriting tim mer border preservation, width of timber border strips, rehabilitation of cut over lands, policies for fire protection, and will work out a rating system to cover scenic and other classifications, Mr. Buck states. The physical inventory will In clude a list of highways meriting consideration, ownership data of border timber, classification of quality timber, compilation of maps showing ownership and other factors, and volume and cost es timates of timber involved. A review of the present legal au thority of the U. S. forest service, state park board, national park service, state highway commission, county courts and other agencies will be included. Needed legislation or revised administrative practices for each agency to function effi ciently will also be studied and re commendations made. The study is regarded as one of the most important before the planning board, Mr. Bean says. A report on the study will be made available when the project is completed. Oregon Class 1 Rates For ACP Above Average Oregon counties as a whole fared well in the setting of Class I rates under the new federal agricultural conservation program, reports F. L Ballard, vice-director of exten sion at O. S. C, who was in Wash ington at the time the rates were decided upon. The fact that average yields of staple crops in Oregon are con siderably higher than the national average served to put the basic rates per acre for most counties above the $10 national average. Farmers in most sections af the country have responded even more heartily than expected to the new program, Ballard found, despite the admitted weak points it con tains largely as a result of the haste necessary in developing and introducing it. Plans are already well under way for the 1937 program in which it is believed the weak spots in the present plan will be fairly well worked out as a result of the long er period available for planning. Radio Program June 17 Part of Health Program Dr. Ethel D. Owen of San Fran cisco, medical adviser to the Stan ford school of nurses, will speak on "The Early Diagnosis Campaign of the Tuberculosis Association" on a radio program to be heard over station KGW, Portland, Wednesday, June 17, from 10 to 10:30 a. m. Thi3 is one of a series of similar programs being arranged by the .National Tuberculosis association in conjunction with its early diag nosis campaign. Dr. Owen, who also is medical director of Arequipa sanatorium and supervisor in the child health division of the San Francisco department of health, has been invited to speak by the California Federation of Women's clubs which is contributing this time on its regular network pro gram to the national association's campaign. Oregon to Test Program For Older Rural Youth A n extension program for the special benefit of rural youth past the 4-H club and Smith-Hughes ages will be tried this fall in Tilla mook, Union and two other Oregon counties still to be selected, ac coding to announcement by F. L. Ballard, vice-director of extension, upon his return from Washington, D. C. recently. Mr. Ballard is a I member of a special committee of the Land Grant College association which is working out a national program of extension work in this field. It is apparent, said Mr. Ballard, that extension projects with this group will be developed from a combination of certain features of all existing projects aimed toward the needs and capacities of the age group roughly considered as from 18 to 25. Rather than create any new administrative units for spe cialized personnel, extension spe cialists in the established subject matter fields will probably be en couraged to adapt part of their presentations for this special group. Recreation and social feat ures are expected to hold an im portant part in the new program. Single Plants Basis of New Stock OREGON CITY Cecil Chap man, strawberry grower of Oregon City, is building up a valuable planting of certified disease-free strawberry stock which he started a couple of years ago from a single plant. Dr. S. M. Zeller, O. S. C. plant pathologist, considers the stock among the best in the state. Most of the existing certified stock of the Marshall variety in Oregon had its source in nine plants re tained by Dr. S. M. Zeller after discarding all of the remainder in an original selected group of 250 plants. Guw Boyer of Mt Vernon write the G. T., calling attention to the Whiskey Gulch celebration at Can yon City this week end. He ex tends an urgent Invitation for all the folks over this way to attend the big annual affair. Lawrence L. Beach of Lexington is in Portland this week attending the grand lodge of A. F. & A. M. of Oregon, representing the local lodge. Special OSC Broadcast Brings Eastern Inquiries That the story of Oregon's vast natural resources and the relation of the land grant college to them was favorably received throughout the United States is Indicated in the hearty response in letters and telegrams received at Oregon State college following the recent Nation al Farm hour program furnished by the college to the NBC nation wide hookup. Aside from messages of praise for the music of the band, glee club and soloists, there have been let ters of inquiry concerning higher educational possibilities here in Oregon and even some Inquiring about investment opportunities from listeners as far east as Ken tucky, reports C. R. Briggs, farm program director of KOAC, who handled the preparation of the program. Gifts High in Value Are Given OSC In Past Year Gifts and grants totaling $158, 358.19, not Including the FWA grant towards the construction of the new health service building, were listed wis year at commence ment time as having been received during the past year by various divisions of Oregon State college or for work carried on throughout me siate unaer direction of the college.
