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
