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,"

ROUND-UP ROYALTY
lilillllt

--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.

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.
