FARM BRIEFS...
from Here and There
The first hundred years are the
easiest with respect to using Ore
gon's land and other natural re
sources, says E. B. McNaughton,
chairman of the governor's economic
council. Farmers and foresters of
the future must be real husband
men rather than promoters and ex
ploiters if the state is to continue
prosperous, he said.
The importance of grass to west
ern America will be emphasized at
a Western Grassland conference to
be held at Salt Lake City July 15
to 17. In the 11 western states 35,
405,000 head of livestock are depend
ent upon grasslands.
Of 753,346,750 acres in the 11 west
ern states, slightly more than 50
per cent are devoted to range use
only. Less than 14 per cent are de
voted to other types of farmiag.
Total income from agriculture in
these states in 1937 was $1,597,013,125
of which $555,889,380 came from
livestock and livestock products.
Last year in Oregon the U. S.
grazing service licensed 155,918 cat
tle, 11,953 horses, 536,852 sheep for a
total of 704.723 animal units to 1646
livestock operators. These range
livestock men with their families,
employees and business associates
represent fully 85 per cent of the
population of southwestern Oregon,
according to Nic W. Monte, acting
regional grazier.
In the five Columbia basin wheat
counties in Oregon there are now
139,702 acres of crested wheat grass,
planted mostly on marginal or steep
wheat land. Last year in these same
counties 391.800 acres were handled
by the trashy fallow method. Per
ennial grass and trashy fallow are
major factors in controlling wind
and water erosion.
