HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, Octobet 1. 1959 3 Oregon Farmers Shift Cropland To Grass, Trees Over one-sixth of the farmers in Oreeon took advantage of cost-sharing opportunities offer ed by the Agricultural Conser vation Program (ACT) last year as they shifted cropland into grass and trees, according to the State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) office in Portland. Nearly 6.500 farmers over the state took Dart in the 1958 ACP, the report indicated. These farm ers put up over $2 mllion as they matched money from the Federal Government to carry out conservation practices on their farms. Under the 1958 ACP, Oregon farmers planted over 33,000 acres of permanent cover on land ta ken out of crop production, used rotation cover crops on another 19,000 acres, reorganized irriga tion systems serving over 63,000 acres, planted trees on 1,500 acres of farmland, and built 160 irrigation dams. Addl 1 1 o n a 1 thousands of crop areas were shifted ' from soil depleting to soil conserving uses under ACP, the report added. Through pooling agreements allowed under ACP many state farmers banded together to carry out conservation practices involv ing more than one farm. In a total of 96 of these pooling agreements last year, over 800 farmers improved drainage on their farms, reorganized irriga tion systems, built .irrigation dams, and improved shore pro tection along streams and lakes. "We hear a lot about a bal anced economy and a balanced farm program", said J E Mc- Bumey, Gaston, cnairman oi ine State ASC Committee that ad ministers the ACP in Oregon. 'The ACP not only helps farm ers solve specific and urgent conservation problems on their farms where they need that help, but also helps correct the cur rent imbalance in agriculture by diverting cropland to grass and trees."

The ACP gives particular at tention to conservation measures that help farmers make a tran sition from cropland to grass and trees, McBurney stated. This helps keep a protective cover on land that otherwise might be used for intensive crop produc, tion, he explained. Value of the program is indi cated by its use by farmers the last 5 years, McBurney said. For instance, during VJoi-on over 107,000 acres in . Oregon were seeded to permanent cover. These seedlings will keep this land in soil conservation use for at least 5 to 7 years, and in some cases permanently. Another 90 000 acres were placed in rotation grass or le gume seedings during the same period, McBurney . added. These seedings were in addition to the normal acreage of such crops on Oregon farms, and helped keep this land out of intensive crop use for at least 2 to 3 years. Nearly 5,600 trees and shrubs were planted on Ore gon farms under the ACP dur ing this 5 year period, McBurney also said. These acres represent permanent retirement of farm land from field crops and pas ture, he pointed out. Over 1,600 water storage reser voirs and livestock ' watering ponds were built under the ACP. Other thousands of acres of state farm land were taken out of production and put to soil-con-serving uses as farmers took ad vantage of other ACP land-use and Improvement practices. More information about ACP practices, and opportunities open to Oregon farmers under the 1960 ACP, is available at county ASC offices or county extension offices.
