Labor Supply on Farms Considered By Planning Body (Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a series of articles prepared by the extension service at Oregon State college on the report and recom mendations of the Oregon land use planning committee on how Ore gon's agricultural program may best be adjusted to meet the impacts of war and national defense.) The question of adequate farm labor during the emergency period when defense industries compete for the supply was considered at length by the Oregon state land use plan ning committtee in making its rec ommendations. It was incuded am ong a series of items called to the attention of state agencies and state representatives of federal agencies. One of the first recommendations made and carried out promptly was that federal and state employment offices, the farm security adminis tration, the O. S. C. extension ser vice and any other agencies that might be of help collaborate in ap praising the labor demands. The survey was also to show the periods when men would be needed and the best means of locating them prompt ly and efficiently. Another recommendation made was that publicity concerning labor demands be carefully supervised and that efforts be made by cooperating agencies to make the most efficient use of the available labor supply throughout the periods of need. A third recommendation is that all WPA projects, except those di rectly connected with the prepar edness program, be closed down during such emergency periods and that steps be taken to divert such labor to the harvesting, processing or transporting of crops. Selective service boards were asked in a fourth recommendation to give full consideration to temporary defer ment of farm selectees to enable them to make their contribution to the farm labor supply during the acute period. Other recommendations brought to the attention of state officials had to do with game management, fire protection, land classification, real estate trades in forest counties, farm credit, the agricultural program and some other matters. A suggestion to the AAA is that production control features of the government program applying to wheat should be closely correlated with land use and conservation fea tures of such programs, so that con servation practices will be adopted by wheat growers along with acre age reduction. The need for all ag encies at the state level to adapt their programs to the fundamentals of soil and water conservation was emphasized. County Joins in Systematic Weed War in Malheur The system of attacking perennial weeds on a county-wide basis and with county cooperation has been worked out in Malheur county where the commissioners took a pi oneer step, for this state at least, and purchased a tractor and hired a man to help farmers rid their land of perennial weeds by cultiva tion. The plan is working well, accord ing to Lawrence Jenkins, state ex tension specialist in farm crops at Oregon State college, who says that it has overcome one of the prin cipal difficulties in controlling weeds by cultivation, in that it as sures a systematic and continuous job. ' "In this irrigated section chem icals have their place, but for lar ger infestations cultivation is the most practical means of control," Page Seven ROUND-UP ROYALTY lilillllt j V --r ? .... ., if a I !i fmmft Pendleton, Ore.. Aug. 5th Other thrones may totter and fall but the Pendleton Round-Up kingdom, realm of the cowboy and cowgirl, continues, and this year, for the thirty-second annual show, Sept. 10, 11, 12, 13, the ruler will be Queen Maxine the First, brunette with flashing smile. That she can tide a horse goes without saying; now 20, she was virtually born to the saddle and owned her first horse when she was six. She owns four mounts, among them "Jordan," beautiful sorrel jumper. Her Majesty will ide at she leaps the arena fences at the coming Kound Up. Besides ner equestrienne skill, the queen manages the controls of an airplane as easily as she handles the reins of her horses, for she holds a private pilot's, license and has SO hours of solo flying to her credit. said Jenkins. "Through- the far sightedness of the county officials and an aggressive county agent, the cooperative program was put into operation in 1939. "To start the project, a weed control district was organized com prizing 225 farms with a total of 16,000 acres of farm land of which about 150 acres were infested with perennial weeds. Under the super vision of the county agent each patch of weeds in the area was mapped and the recommended con trol prescribed. "The county-owned tractor was operated on a definite schedule so that each area could be cultivated at the proper time. With this meth od the farmer could forget about the weeds as he knew the best methods of control were to be used at the right time. He paid only the actual costs, including fuel and the opera tor's time. "Patches too small for economical cultivation are treated with chem icals by two men employed full time during the season to work under the direction of the county agent, i Since the plan was started, 7037 gal lons of carbon bisulphide have been applied on approximately 22 acres of crop land, and 8096 pounds of sodium chlorate used mainly in fence rows, along ditch banks, and in waste places where damage to the soil was not important." CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our apprecia tion to the many kind neighbors and friends for their help and sympathy at the time of bereavement. Emma Jones and family. Wheat in 4 Counties Runs Mostly No. 1 Wheat samples inspected so far this year from Morrow, Gilliam, Wasco and Sherman counties are practically all grading No. 1 with test weights from 60 to 64.4 pounds per bushel, reports the grain div ision of the state department of ag riculture. Very few of these sam ples are showing either smut or dockage. This is in contrast to the 1940 harvest, which in these coun ties produced wheat grading as low as No. 5 on test weight and carry ing more dockage than this year. Test weights in Umatilla county are running lighter than the other four mentioned, or from 58 to 60 pounds to the bushel; but few sam ples are grading smutty though more are carrying dockage. The grain division says also that protein naturally is running lower, with most of the hard red winter grading hard or yellow hard instead of dark hard; and the majority of white wheat samples are grading soft instead of hard white.
