Grass, Legume Acres
Show Large Increase
Oregon farmers who participated
in the 1936 agricultural conservation
program made a total of more than
150,000 acres of new seedings of soil
conserving crops, according to a
summary of the records of perform
ance in the state AAA office at Ore
gon State college.
Approimately 14,000 applications
for benefit payments are expected
when totals for all counties are com
plete, according to N. C. Donaldson,
secretary of the state committee.
Summary of 11,205 of these received
to date shows 142,114 acres of soil
conserving crops, such as perennial
grasses, clovers and alfalfa, planted
on the farms represented by these
applications.
Eastern Oregon farmers cooperat
ing in the program , seeded 39,146
acres of perennial grasses, most of
which was crested wheat grass plant
ed on land taken out of wheat. New
seedings of alfalfa in eastern. Oregon
totalled 35,516 acres. Red Clover
and alfalfa in western Oregon were
reported together, with a total of 43,
453 acres on unirrigated land and
2070 on irrigated land.
New seedings of irrigated Ladino
clover in western Oregon were made
on 1181 acres by those cooperating
in the program, while other kinds of
clovers, mostly alsike and sweet clo
ver, were planted on 19,785 acres by
cooperators in the state as a whole.
Trashy summerfallowing practice
was carried out in eastern Oregon
on 94,019 acres as a means of con
trolling wind . and water erosion.
Green manure crops on 65,381 acres
were turned under by cooperating
farmers Perennial weed control
was carried out on 4764 acres.
Much wider participation in the
program is expected this year than
last, according to Donaldson, as ap
proximately 93 per cent of the crop
land in the state is represented on
work sheets which have been signed
by farmers. A marked decrease in
the soil depleting acreage in the state
has already taken place and this is
expected to continue to the benefit of
Oregon's agriculture, he says.
Natural Communities
Shown by Planners
A new technique in the field of
rural social welfare that may revo
lutionize community planning and
may have marked influence on ad
ministration of relief and federal or
other government aid was made
known here this week in a report of
the Oregon State. Planning board, it
was announced by Ormond R. Bean,
board chairman.
The report, "A Study of Natural
Communities in Three Oregon Coun
ties," was compiled by Dr. P. A.
Parsons, chairman of the board's ad
visory committee on public welfare,
and is the result of several years of
study on the part of Dr. Parsons and
his colleagues. It has been approved
by the board and released to the
public by Governor Martin.
In his investigation of the rural
life in the three counties, Lane,
Clackamas, and the rural area of
Multnomah, Dr. Parsons discovered
that each contained a large number
of what he termed "natural com
munities." In these it was found
that people from all directions ral
lied around a common meeting place,
where they met regularly to satisfy
their cultural and social needs,
These communities were found to
be progressive, and in most cases,
were already studying ways and
means of meeting their social and
other problems.
In the counties also were found
areas where people were not well
organized and had no common meet
ing place. Here juvenile delinquen
cy and other problems were much
more grave than in "natural" areas,
and social and even economic con
ditions were far below the standard
set by the other communities. These
areas were termed by the investi
gators "interstitial," and today pre
sent one of the greatest problems
facing the country, the report points
out.
The report is accompanied by a
series of maps for each of the coun
ties studied, based upon the new
technique worked out for such a
study. The maps show the natural
community, together with areas
served by granges, school districts,
churches and other organizations.
Such data, when worked out on a
national scale, could serve as a ba
sis for consolidation of schools; es
tablishment of recreation centers;
extension of services of institutions
of higher education, federal agencies
and other government groups, and
would be of great value in working
out plans for progressive community,
county and even state planning for
tlje future, it was pointed out.
Ladino Clover Seed Shipped East
Grants Pass The Josephine Coun
ty Ladino Clover Seed Growers' as
sociation, whose members last year
grew more than half of the 100,000
pounds of this seed produced in the
state, reports a . healthy marketing
year, in which substantial amounts
of seed were shipped east for the first
time. Nearly all Josephine county
Ladino growers belong to this asso
ciation, which now owns its own
cleaning plant. The most important
factor in the success of this associa
tion is the high quality, dependability
and purity of the seed it delivers
year after year, according to E. R.
Jackman, extension specialist in farm
crops at O. S. C.
Norton King went to Kinzua last
Friday to spend a week with his
father, A. T. King.

OSC Speech Squads
Make Best Record
Corvallis. The Oregon State col
lege public speaking squad won all
four major first places in oratory
this year, while the largest debate
squad in the institution's history
won a large majority of its decision
debates and took both first and third
places in one of the largest debate
tournaments held on the coast this
past season.
The 48 students who were on the
debate squad and the 30 students
active in oratory and extempore
speaking turned in a record believed
by speech instructors here to be
unexcelled in any major institution
on the Pacific coast. The oratory
squad won first place in the state
peace oratorical contest for the
sixth consecutive year, first place in
the Old Line oratorical contest for
both men and women, and for the
second consecutive year won the
oratorical championship of the Pa
cific coast.
Despite the policy of spreading the
training in the debate squad and
not concentrating on a few talented
students, Oregon State debaters won
a high percentage of their contests
and took sweepstakes honors for
the greatest number of points in all

South Wants More Oregon Seed
Corvllis The demand for western
Oregon grown Austrian peas and
hairy vetch may far exceed the
supply this year, believes E. R. Jack
man, extension specialist in farm
crops at O. S. C. The dry fall and
succeeding cold weather reduced
plantings in the Willamette valley,
so that less seed wilj be available,
while the southern states, stimulated
by better cotton prices and the AAA
program, want more seed than usual.
While southern growers prefer
Oregon seed for its greater uniform
ity and reliability, Jackman points
out, it is sometimes difficult for Or
egon growers to get their seed
threshed and cleaned, and in the
case of peas, fumigated, and deliver
ed in the south at the time it is need
ed, due to shipping delays. If these
could be overcome, he believes the
present acreage here could be dou
bled with safety, as long as cotton
prices continue at their present high
level.
