Carton and Newsreel Tuesday Wednesday, Jan. 8-9 MAN FROM PLANET X A melo-fantasy with genuine suspense and solid impact, featuring Margaret Clark and Robert Field Plus Comedy Special Soil Conservation On Grand Upswing Throughout Oregon ' Oregon's soil conservation dis trict movement has progressed to a point where approximately one-half of the state's privately owned land is now included with in districts. Howard E. Cushman, executive secretary, state soil conserva tion committee, said recently that 36 present districts in the state include almost fourteen mil lion acres. All of the soil con servation districts, he added, have formed since 1910 when the first, South Tillamook, was organ ized. New districts organized in 1951 include the Sams Valley-Beagle district in Jackson county and the Elgin in Union county which added 230,500 acres to the state total. Oregon contains approximately sixty million acres of which one half is public land, Cushman states. Thus of the thirty mil lion acres privately owned al most one-half Is organized. Some entire counties, Joseph ine, Gilliam, Sherman, Morrow, Wasco, Deschutes, lie completely within soil conservation dis'.rici boundaries. For all districts, accomplish ments in the matter of soil and water conservation measures in clude 121,000 miles of contour and cross slope farming practices established, G,000 acres of strip cropping, 370 ranch and farm ponds developed, 500,000 feetvof closed drains, sand dune control on 28,000 acres, and stream chan nel erosion control on 21,000 feet of bank. Soil conservation districts are organized, Cushman said, to co ordinate activities of several agencies engaged in conservation work. Each district organized has requested and is receiving technical assistance from the soil conservation service. The state soil conservation com mittee is headed by C. A. Nish, Cannon Beach, chairman. o NEED Letterheods, Phone 882 EGG-MAKING NUTRIENTS FOR HIGH PRODUCING HENS Hens can't moke good on the nest unless they get the nutrients they need to produce. Give them this chance. Ask for Larro "Farm- Give Furniture a "Permanent" Polish "5f 'x.- -f i .way- I - 4 t r s a r, ..' u , . vt- New non-oily silicone polish pives furniture and home equipment a beautiful mirror-like shine that is as pleasingly permanent as the curl in your hair. One application lasts for months, protecting finishes and making them easier to dust, while it keeps them glowingly bright. Non-oily silicone polish is not an ordinary polish but it is as simple to use. Its silicone ingredient, like those used during the last war to protect precision instruments, gives it long lasting gloss and easy dry polishing. Wipe it over surfaces, completely and evenly, according to directions on the bottle. When dry, wipe lightly with a dry cloth to bring out its beautiful, "permanent" beauty. Use it on fine wood finishes, varnished or painted woodwork, and enamel surfaces. Non-oily silicone polish is available in grocery stores, hardware, drug and department stores in a 10-ounce bottle which is enough to polish all of the furniture in an average six-room house. Net Farm Incomes May Drop Slightly, '52 Outlook Says Oregon farmers will have more and spend more money in '52. That's the first of the year out look as seen by Oregon State col lege agricultural economists in a new agricultural situation and outlook just off the press. Copies are available through any county extension office or directly from OSC. It's going to be a case of "in one pocket, out the other" with more and more emphasis on the "out," says M. D. Thomas, exten sion economist who sees climbing costs during the next 12 months. In view of this, net incomes may fade a little, he adds. Farmers in Oregon as well as those In other states will write higher figures on checks to pay taxes, wages, and for personal living expenses. The new outlook circular con tains a special article which dis cusses farm marketings of the stale's farm products during the past quarter century. The out standing influence on farm prices generally, the circular says, has been the upward swing in em ployment and incomes. Doub ling and trebling of consumer purchasing power during the lPIO's has contributed consider ably to the remarkable rise in both prices and receipts from sale of Oregon farm products. Farm production expenses na tionally, hitting a new all-time high in 1051. are expected to total about $22,500,000. Trices paid for such commodities as interest taxes and wages averaged 125 percent above prewar and about 10 percent more than in 1950. The high cost of doing business, Thomas says, is a major hazard in (he future for farmers. Costs si A Farm Building Plans Available From OSC Service Want to build a water wheel? A merry-go-round for a play ground? A manure pit? A nut drier? A hay stacker? A house? A barn? These and many other plans are among more than 200 avail able in the Oregon State college plan service. Each plan is drawn in such specific detail that even amateur carpenters can follow them. In nearly every instance the plans grew from a definite need. When college barns or other buildings were constructed, the plans were adjusted for use on a smaller scale. Whenever demand was strong for such things as sheep dipping vats, feed mixers milk houses, or other equipment, they were developed by the agri cultural engineers of the OSC ex periment station and the plans made available for public use. Following the war, when there was a great need for more hous ing for farm labor, plans were de veloped for small, low-cost rural houses. These followed research by home economics and farm management workers so that features were included which laborers particularly wanted. The first list of plans was pub lished in 1936 by the extension service but as the project grew it was reorganized and placed un der the direction of OSC agricul tural engineers. All other such information was coordinated un der this plan so that USDA bul letins on construction could be easily accessible. This eliminat- are certain to stay in 1952 and will decline less rapidly than prices when they start downhill. Money sjK'nt for food last year reached a new high for the coun try, but only a small part of it reached the nation's farmers. The amount spent was 10 percent above 1950 and four times the prewar average. More than half of the money spent for food pro duced domestically goes to pay marketing charges.
