1938 AAA Program
Ready for State
Application
County Goals Sent
Local Workers; Fig
ures for Farms Next
The application of the 1938 ag
ricultural conservation program in
Oregon, held up for nearly two
months awaiting congressional ac
tion on new farm legislation,- will
proceed without further delay, the
next task being the breaking down
of county soil depleting goals into
farm units, anounces N. E. Dodd,
chairman of the state AAA commit
tee which has just completed an im
portant meeting at Oregon State
college.
With scope of new farm legisla
tion fairly well established, national
AAA officials met with regional and
state representatives at Salt Lake
City and agreed upon state goals
in the various classifications under
the new program. It is believed that
new legislation will require only
minor adjustment of present plans,
it was announced.
The general soil depleting goal for
Oregon is 1,780,452 acres, the Oregon
delegation reported upon return
from the Salt Lake conference. The
special potato acreage goal, includ
ing only the 16 commercial potato
counties, is 45,946. Both these totals
are about what were previously ex
pected by the Oregon committee and
can be met with reasonable ease
because of the adjustments already
made from former soil depleting crop
levels.
Two regional officials, C. E. Carter
and S. A. McCracken, met with the
Oregon committee at Corvajlis and
helped break down the state goals
into county totals. These have now
been distributed to the county com
mittees which will in turn translate
them into individual farm figures.
Any farmer may then see exactly
what is expected in order to qualify
for maximum soil conservation ben
efits. His participation in whole or
in part is entirely voluntary, how
ever. The committee also completed
work on specifications of soil build
ing practices which will soon be
published.
Full reports in the new sign-up
of work sheets have not been receiv
ed at the state office, but informal
reports indicate that considerable
new sign-up has occurred, especial
ly in western Oregon counties. The
deadline for new sign-ups was Jan
uary 15.
Livestock Meet Set
for Roseburg, Feb. 7-8
Roseburg Livestock problems of
western Oregon, particularly those
related to the classification and
zoning of forest lands, are to be con
sidered at the annual meeting of the
Western Oregon Livestock associa
tion at Roseburg, February 7 and 8
The first day will be devoted entire
ly to committee meetings, with the
general session on Tuesday, Feb. 8,
says Alfred Powers, of Powers, pres
ident of the association.
In preparation for the meeting
four committees have been appoint
ed by Powers and have been gath
ering materials. These committees
are dealing with the status of the
O. & C. grant lands, land zoning,
pasture and range improvement, and
organization improvement.
The last legislature passed a bill
calling for the classification of lands
under the control of the state board
of forestry, to be followed by zoning
according to major uses for which
such lands are suited. Livestock
men, because of the relationship to
their grazing needs, are vitally in
terested in this development, accord
ing to President Powers.
Interest in pasture improvement
has ben heightened by the work
that was done following the 1936
Coos and Curry county forest fires,
when large burned-over areas were
reseeded with good pasture plants
which have since become well es
tablished The convention is open to the gen
eral public, livestock men of western
Oregon being especially invited to

consider common problems, says
Powers.

discussion of forest land problems
by J. W. Ferguson, state forester,
and several specialists from Oregon
State college. Ben Nichols, presi

Conservation Part
of Ownership Trust
Ownership of farm and grazing
land should be regarded as a trust
involving the obligation to conserve
as well as the privilege of produc
aive use, H. H. Bennett, chief of the
Soil Conservation service, declared
last week in his annual report to
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace.
"The old idea that owneship is a
license for untrammeled exploitation
is fast disappearing," the Soil Con
servation service head asserted.
"Today we are beginning to realize
that each parcel of land is actually
part of a basic natral resource, in
the preservation of which the nation
as a whole has a most important
stake."
During the past fiscal year, Ben
nett states in his report, erosion
control operations of the service
were expended to cover a total of
8 million acres of private land
and to include voluntary cooperative
agreements with more than 50,000
landowners. These agreements call
for a large number of measures for
the protection of crop and grazing
land, such as contour cultivation,
strip cropping, gully control, and
improved crop rotations.
Striking a general optimistic note,
Bennett reports that events of the
past year allied the individual far
mer and governmental agencies in
a new and more effective approach
to the problem of conserving soil
resources on a national scale. Citing
the passage of enabling soil conser
vation laws by a number of states
as a most encouraging portent, he
points out that these laws supple
ment existing federal soil conserva
tion programs by making possible
cooperative local action to check
erosion damage. .
