Wool Growers to Vote On Market Program Oregon's wool producers, along with those in other parts of the nation, are getting the chance to vote in a referendum on whether an agreement providing for ad vertising, promotional and re lated market development activi ties on wool and lamb will be put into effect. Ballots are now being distribu ted to nroducers and must be re turned to county agricultural sta bilization and conservauon oin- ces not later than August 19. Ralph Peck, assistant director of the extension service at Ore gon State college and state ASC I committeeman, explains that any producer who has owned sheep or lambs for at least 30 days since January 1, 1955 is eligible to vote. Any producer who is eligible and who doesn't receive a ballot by the middle of July may go di rectly to his county ASC office and vote. The agreement being voted up on is between the recently-organized American Sheep Produc ers council and the secretary of agriculture. It provides for de ductions from wool incentive pay ments made to producers under the national wool act of 1954. These deductions will provide a means of financing the market development program. Before the agreement can be put into effect, producers owning at least two thirds of the sheep and lambs represented by votes in the re ferendum must vote their ap proval. If the agreement is approved, Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, stJJ hi!

Deductions will be made from the federal payments in 1956.

It is the latest in a group of projects conducted by OSC for Bonneville since 1951. Louis N. Stone and F. O. Mc Millan of the electrical engineer ing department will direct the study. The problem of radio interfer ence is getting increased atten tion with construction of more and more high voltage lines in populated areas, Stone explained. TV is affected less than radio be cause of its higher frequencies but it too poses a worry near high voltage lines. As part of the project, the OSC engineers will work on correlat ing results from laboratory tests with field conditions. Being able to predict radio in terference on the basis of con trolled laboratory tests will mean substantial time and money savings for fiwus designing new lines, Stone said. It will also assure lines without excessive interference. Tests on transmission line con ductors and accessories will be conducted in the high voltage laboratory in Dearborn hall, OSC's new electrical engineering building. It is one of the best equipped laboratories in the Northwest. OSC is one of the nation s pio neers in research on radio inter ference from high voltage equip ment. Trofessor McMillan first started studies in 1929 and vari ous projects have been conducted over the years for power utilities and manufacturers. The new pro ject will take a year to complete.
