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.

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

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.
