Oregon, U. S. 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,

OSC Studies Radio
And TV Interference
From High Voltage
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
Radio and tebvision interference
from high voltage transmission
lines will be studied this year by
the Oregon State college engi
neering experiment station under
a new $8600 research grant from
Bonneville power administration
The study is expected to pro
vide information helpful to both
government and private electrical
power suppliers in reducing the
radio and TV noise and picture
distortion. 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.
