6-. HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, February 20. Planning Conference (Continued From Pai 1) ued demonstration of new imple ments which tend to promote con servation practices. 14. We recommend that the county court and county road de partment be contacted relative to keeping culverts on county roads open for maximum efficiency. We feel that much damage is done to county roads when road r,rwirc nnh rrirks and other de bris in front of the culverts and crush them In getting too far out, on the grade. 1 watt.R USE DEVELOP MENT (a) We recommend that the county court appoint the chairman of the Basin's Projects committee of Morrow county to activate the study of possible watershed development, explore possibility of installing water guaging stations on Wllow and Rhea creeks, to encourage study of water table situation of the county, determine amount of water actually used and of wast ed. We also ask that a study be made of unallocated waters flow ing to the John Day river to de termine if it is feasible to divert to Willow or Rhea creek if and when there is justified use for more water in Morrow county. (b) We would like to urge farm ers who have not applied for water rights to consider doing so soon. We would also like to look into the reasons for the length of time necessary to process wat er rights issued from the State Engineers Office with the thought of speeding this process up. (c) We ask that a study be made of the possibilities of the use of unallocated waters of the pro posed Mission Dam. We feel that these waters could be used to bring in an area well adapted to irrigation, providing additional farm units which would fit In well with our county's economy. 16. Forestry, (a) From the standpoint of conserving timber, land and soils we encourage more emphasis be put on locat ion of logging roads, reseeding of skidways and abandoned roadways as soon as possible aft er operations are completed and asked for installations of water bars on roadways. (b) We encourage owners of tim ber lands or land suitable for timber to avail themselves to available information and ass istance to determine the feasibil ity of establishing tree farms. (c) We suggest access roads be maintained in timber lands to insure disease control of trees left for seed stock. We recognize the immediate need for more and better access roads in federal owned forests to encourage bet tor maintenance of standing tim ber, to enable salvage of certain trees prior to actual cut, also to enable forest service to acquire better bids on timber sales. (d) We ask that a study be made of the future possibilities of marketing the lodge pole timber stands of Morrow county. We feel that lodge pole pine is import ant enough that we should cease to refer to it as a pest sped. (e) Morrow county should con tinue to stress fire protection ot timber lands and every effort Uhmiifi he exnanded to maintain our forest fire record of the past ten years. (f) We ask for further study on the effect of pest and disease on annual growth of timber ana measures adopted to control and eradicate same. We would en courage forest field days much thn c-jmn ns we have conservat ion field days on our tillable lands. 17 Prpspnt Federal farm pro arams :ire workini? a hardship on small size family farms. We feel that nroduction should not be limited to such an extent that it rreates hardships, from an ec onomic standpoint, to the small size farm of the Pacific North west. An economical unit as such in one area is not necessarily an economical unit, acre wise in another. An economic study of the problem be made to determ ine what constitutes an econom ical family size farm in the Pac ific Northwest in comparison to other areas. We believe that a complete understanding of this situation is needed by our Leg islators when farm programs are drafted. 18. A poor understanding ex ists between town and farms neonle reeardine income receiv- ed. The committee would like to point out that the farmers in come in relation to his invest 'ment is many times a smaller percent return than comparable businesses. 19. We recommend that future tax reappraisals in land valuat ions for inheritance tax purpos es be based on long time valuat ion rather than on recent inflat ed prices. 20. We commend the electric service of the Rural Electrificat ion Administration that has put electricity in every farm home in Morrow county which desires it. We feel that the money loaned by REA is a good isvestment for our county and that the interest on the loan being paid to the Government is money well spent. 21. Co-ordinated efforts in the county should be initiated to keep insect Infestations such as grass hoppers and Mormon crickets un der control. A study to determine steps in establishing on insect control district is needed so that control measures can be speed ily taken when necessary. t INTERNATIONAL GARDEN OF TOMORROW, planned as feature pf Oregon's Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair, June lC-Septembcr 17, 1933, is shown in preliminary artists sketch. Initial plans call for garden to feature latest developments in plant material from all over world. Garden might remain as permanent tourist attraction adjacent to Pacific International ex position building after centennial Is over, 22. We recommend that the county court appoint a county development commission which would investigate the develop ment possibilities of Morrow county as opportunities present themselves. We would also like a study of the advantages of a port commission and how such a commission could affect the development of industry within our county.

Review Board Announced For Beef Balloting Mailed ballots in the beef com mission referendum are expect ed to pour into the state depart ment of agriculture immediately after February 10, Director of Agriculture Robert J Steward said today. More than 4000 producers who registered prior to January 21 are eligible to vote. To be counted, ballots must be postmarked to the department at Salem by February 24, or be deposited by that date in an off icial ballot box in the office of any Oregon county extension agent, he said. Because of the wide interest and broad coverage of this ref erendum, and the heavy vote ex pected, Steward said arrange ments have been made with two prominent Oregonians to serve as a reviewing board for the ballots cast. One of these is David O'Harra, who retired last year after more than 40 years as head of the elections division for the state of Oregon. The other is E R Jack man, Oregon State college range specialist for many years, with wide aquaintance throughout Oregon's cattle industry, i All votes will be cast in sealed ballot envelopes which will be opened and tabulated only at the department headquarters in Sal em, Steward said.
