Outlook Reports Out
Corvallis. The publication of the
report of the Milton-Freewater dis
trict farm outlook conference com
pletes a series of 20 such reports
which were the outgrowth of the
series of farm outlook conferences
sponsored throughout the state by
the O. S. C. extension service in the
past two years.
These reports, which are available
in the respective counties, constitute
the most authentic guide to profit
able farming practices in each re
gion. The latest report, for example,
records the combined opinions of
growers and the specialists in the
various fields on the subjects of ap
ple production, fresh prunes, can
nery crops, cherry production, small
fruits, dairying, poultry, soil man
agement, and agricultural economics
and marketing in that district.
Under each section in this and
the other reports, there is recorded
latest available statistics, a summary
of production and marketing condi
tions, and recommendations for the
future.

Aerial Map Contracts
Let for State Counties
Aerial mapping of farms in Ore
gon under the AAA program will
be resumed soon following the re
cent awarding of a contract for air
plane surveys of Gilliam, Morrow,
Sherman and Union counties. The
contract for mapping approximately
3548 square miles was awarded to
the Brubaker Aerial Surveys of
Portland at a price per square mile
of approximately $2.88 or $9159.04
for the entire job.
The ' bid of the Brubaker firm
proved to be not only the lowest
submitted in Oregon but the lowest
in the entire western region. Surveys
in California will cost from $2.90 to
$3.19 per square mile, and in North
Dakota approximately $3.75.
Ground mapping of territory not
being covered by the aerial method
is under way by the use of ground
crews in many of the counties. The
permanent maps will be used in this
and future years to determine per
formance by farmers taking part in
the agricultural conservation pro
gram. ,
Aerial mapping, which was tried
first for this purpose in Oregon and
Washington, has been widely adopt
ed throughout the United States as
a relatively cheaper and improved
method of carrying out this import
ant function.
Now is a good time for Oregon
farmers who are cooperating in the
agricultural conservation program
to check up on their farming prac
tices and their base acreages to make
sure that they will be able to qual
ify for maximum benefits under the
1937 program, according to state of
ficials of the AAA.
Soil depleting and soil conserving
bases have been set for individual
farms in nearly all counties now,
making possible an accurate check
up on compliance before it is too late
to make certain modifications, it is
pointed out. Such a check up is par
ticularly desirable on diversion farms
to see that the acreage diverted
from soil depleting to soil conserv
ing uses is according to the original
plans of the grower.
