Experiment Station
Has Big, New Report
The experimental program for ag
riculture in Oregon has been based
on economy of production, conser
vatinn of soil resources, and mar
Wetini imm-ovement, according to
Ralph S. Besse, vice-director of the
experiment station, in introducing
the latest biennial report ot tne ag
rieultural experiment station.
This report, just off the press, is
entitled "Agricultural Research
Serves to Relieve the Tax Burden,"
and is issued as station bulletin No.
3Rt) free to Oregon citizens.
The 136-tage. profusely illustrated
bulletin reports on the progress be
ins made with hundreds of agricul
tural nroblems which are classified
according to the particular agricul
tural industry concerned. For ex
ample, all of the projects dealing
with livestock management are
grouped in one section, as are all
those dealing with field, torage, and
seed crops.
Statistical reports for the bien
nium, which follow the much
more complete reports on experi
mental progress, show that state tax
funds now provide for only a little
more than a third of the cost of ag
ricultural research at present con
ducted at the experiment station.
Federal appropriations account for
46 per cent of the total funds used
for agricultural research in Oregon,
state appropriations 37 per cent, fees
and sales 16 per cent, while one per
cent is financed by gifts.
AAA Head Coming
To Wheat League
Meet at Condon

ministrator of the AAA, will attend
the twelfth annual convention of the
Eastern Oregon Wheat league at
Condon December 8 and 9, accord

N. E. Dodd, director of the western

Adding to the national import
ance of this year's convention is the
fact that at least a dozen wheat
growing states are sending delegates
in connection with the national con
test on wheat acreage compliance
sponsored by the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league this year. Results of
this contest are now being compiled,
after which national and state
awards will be made at the con
vention.
Faced with prospetcs of the larg
est attendance in history, people of
Condon have rallied to the support
of the convention and are giving as
surance that ample accommodations
will be available for everyone, re
ports Ed Nelson, chairman of the
arrangements committee. Nelson is
reauesting, however, that reserva
tions be made in advance, so far as
possible, so that there will be no
last minute confusion uj, getting
everyone placed.
The Condon gram growers organ
ization is cooperating by offering
thre prizes for those who attend the
convention from the longest distance.
The annual banquet on Friday
night, always a highlight of the con

traffic deaths for 1939 or 1938. They
are the only muncipalities in the

ings in the contest will be based on
the improvement shown in total
number of accidents, injuries and
fatalities for this year compared to
