Additional Pomona
Grange News Given
By MARY LUNDELL
With this issue, we continue the
report of the Morrow County Pomo
na meeting held in Irrigon, Satur
day, January 7.
Pomona Master Minnie McFar-
land spoke on Bonneville power dur
ing the lecturer s program. Mrs. Mc
Farland recently attended a meeting
of the Bonneville Federation of Ore
gon, also visited the Vancouver
nower set-up, so was prepared with
a fine report, one which is of in
terest to all users of electricity and
to those who hope to be users in
the future.
The Oregon State grange, through
its executive committee, is sponsor
ing a resolution to the effect that
each subordinate grange in the state
is to pass a resolution favoring the
adoption of a revenue certificate bill
which will provide for financing
power districts with revenue certii-
icates which are not a lien against
the Droriertv. and which are an ob
ligation only against the revenues of
the power systems.
' Mrs. McFarland, Umatilla, has
spent a great deal of time in study
ing the Bonneville power question
and otherwise educating herself on
timely questions, and will gladly
answer questions of interested per
sons. Each grange in Morrow county is
urged to appoint a power commit
tee, this committee to be informed
and make regular reports to its
cranee. On the power committee for
Morrow County Pomona are named
Burton Peck, O. L. Lundell and
Orrin Wright, and will be assisted
by the Pomona master, Mrs. Mc
Farland.
Next week, we plan to submit to
county readers, the resolution on
cower revenue certificates adopted
by Morrow County Pomona grange.

Pedestrian deaths formed about
70 per cent of all urban traffic fa
talities in Oregon last year, but less
than a quarter of rural fatalities,
according to figures from the office
of the secretary of state. Collisions
between two cars represented by
far the greatest number of accidents
reported from within the limits of
Oregon cities, yet they caused only
11 out of more than 100 urban fotal
accidents.

Specialty Crops
Lists 1937 Data
Oregon farmers marketed from
1937 production approximately eight
million dollars worth of specialty
crops and products not listed in the
regular bureau of agricultural econ
omics estimates of principal crops,
according to a report on "Produc
tion and Income Statistics for Cer
tain Specialty Farm Products" just
published by the Oregon State col
lege extension service.
This is the second of two reports
of this nature published within the
past few months using data gathered
under the terms of a special legisla
tive appropriation for this purpose.
The two reports now published, one
covering 1936 and the other one 1937,
constitute the only comprehensive
county by county listing! of produc
tion figures for such important Ore
gon products as vetch and field pea
seed, various grass seeds, ladino
clover - seed, flax seed, fiber flax,
filberts, peppermint, turkeys and
some other crop and animal prod
ucts. State and county data are giv
en for some 50 sources of agricul
tural income.
The bureau of agricultural econ
omics tentatively estimated Ore
gon's cash farm income for 1937 at
$123,392,000, exclusive of $2,502,000
of government payments. To this
total is now added $7,994,000 in in
come from specialty crops and prod
ucts as a result of this comprehen
sive survey made in all 36 counties
of the state. Information for the
estimates contained in the report
was obtained through personal con
tact with hundreds of informed per
sons such as growers, shippers, deal
ers, manufacturers, federal statis
ticians, county agents and other ag
ricultural leaders.
In all the listings of crops, the data
include area harvested, farm pro
duction m pounds, average farm
price, cash farm income all by
counties and districts. It also shows
in some instances the number of
growers engaged in particular type
of production.
The report is issued as Extension
Circular No. 319, written by M. D.
Thomas, L. R. Breithaupt and C. J.
Borum.
