Under the wool program, payments are made to growers as an Incen tive to Increase wool production.

Ill OrClCr to better inform these people, Marlon Thomas, extension agri cultural economist Is scheduled to explain farm parity, the farm rrocram and the Importance o nrlri ilt lira tf industry to the HeDDner-Morrow County Cham ber of Commerce at their noon luncheon on April 18. As a part of his talk he will tell these business men that agriculture Is a big business. He will point oui that over six billion tons of steel are used each year in the con struction of farm buildings and the production of farm machin ery more than is used In the production of automobiles. These agricultural industries also use more raw rubber each year than is used by passenger automo biles. The present value of the machines and structures used in agriculture is over thirty billion dollars, or more than five times the total Investment in auto manufacturing. More than forty million tons of chemical mater ials are needed for each year's production of agricultural com modities. And irrigation of crops accounts for about half of the fresh water used in the nation dally. Over 250 billion tons of soil are turned over or stirred each year some of it several times. American farmers produce about COO million tons of crops and animals products each year, five times the weight of the to tal annual production of steel. It Is interesting to note from the Oregon crop weather sum mary for the week ending April Thirty three persons attended the Hennner Soil Conservation District sponsored water meet ing held last Tuesday evening at the fair pavilion. Man-In Shearer, Irrigation specialist, Oregon State College did a good Job of reviewing water laws, which were the basis for old water rights bringing the group up to date on present regula tions.

Mr Shearer then outlined the basic procedure for obtaining a water right. With forms obtain ed from the state engineer, ap plication Is made to the state engineer for permit to approp riate water. Upon receipt or tne completed application forms. maps, fees and other required data, the state engineer Issues permit to the applicant. The issuance of this permit to the application cives the applicant the right to appropriate a cer tain amount of unappropriated water for the purpose specified In the permit and in accordance with Its terms. The law requires that actual construction work must begin within one year after the approval of the application unless It is actually started with in the t me limit, the permit Is sublect to cancellation. The law also provides that the work must be prosecuted with reason able dillsenco and be completed within the time limit set up in the permit. This time limit may be ud to five years.

Anyone who's looked around knows the majority of Chevrolet models Ps and V8'8 together list for less than comparable models of other low-priced cars. But the price tag alone is only one of a whole raft of reasons a Chevy does better by your dollars. Nothing near Chevy's size and price can match the Full Coil cushioning of its ride, or the fine, finished workmanship of its Body by Fisher. That even applies to some cars that cost a lot more. You're up in the higher price brackets before you find a car that moves as quietly as a Chevrolet or offers the inner space that Chevrolet does. Or look at the extras Chevy gives you at no extra cost that others in its class can't offer at any price. Shock-cushioned steering. Safety Plate Glass in every win dow. Keyless locking of all doors.
