MONTGOMERY WARD 279 Main St. Hermiston, Oregon (Prices Do Not Incl. Transportation) Wheat Grower Committees Report on Recommendations Committees of the Morrow County Wheat Growers League made reports at me annual meeting recently, and their re commendations are in the fol lowing paragraphs. Story on the meeting was printed in the Nov ember 1 issue of the Gazette Times, The Domestic Wheat Utiliza tion Committee headed by Mrs. Milton Morgan, lone, came up with five recommend a t i o n s They asked that the cake baking contest be limited to tne import ant wheat producing counties and that the state bake-off be held during the state annual meeting to provide greater inter est and publicity. They further recommended opening of the cake baking contest to both men and women under existing rules barring men and women profes sional bakers. They recommend ed a chocolate layer cake for the 1963 cake baking contest and continuance of the essay contest for the coming year. They were not favorable toward continuing a county scrapbook. Walter Jacobs, lone, chairman of the Public Relations Commit tee, reported that his committee recommended continuance of the Editor's Field Trip and that farm-host families be represent ative of growers rather than those above average; that the public relations program be con tinued and expanded if funds permitted. They approved an in formation and publicity program to inform all ranchers and farm ers on the details of the Certifi cate Plan which will go into ef fect, if a favorable vote results in 1964. They asked that every means of publicity be employed to inform the public of this plan such as news letters, news arti cles, circular letters, radio and T, V. and community meetings as well as full cooperation of farm organizations. They recom mended that the news paper article contest for school child ren be continued and were grate ful to the number of Portland boys and girls who have entered this contest and acquain t e d themselves with wheat and its uses. They further asked that the cake baking contest be continu ed as excellent public relations project and that the Conserva tion Man of the Year program be continued with greater pub licity. They recommended con tinuance of the "Wheat Field," the Oregon Wheat Growers Lea gue information organ; that con sideration be given to providing a rotating trophy to the county with the greatest activities by wheatgrowers in their county Association and that wh e a t checks were an important pub lic relation tool. They asked that our banks promote the use of wheat checks in their every day dealing with farm people. The program initiated last spring by Gilliam County whereby 35 Port land city school children were hosts of Gilliam County farm families is a good one and should be extended into other counties the committee agreed. They further felt that investiga tion should be made on slogans and bumper stickers for the pro motion of the wheat industry. The important Taxation and Legislation Committee had 17 re commendations. Briefl y they asked that a look be taken at the proposed revision of the Ore gon Constitution to find if its provisions are compatible willi farmers views; that our congres sional delegation be urged to support legislation permitli n g use of a five year average in figuring income tax purposes; that a uniform standard time be used throughout the state of Oregon; that the Governor, Sena tors and representatives of Ore gon acknowledge the vote of people and do not make proc lamations that are in direct conflict with this vote. They again asked that the Oregon Wheat Growers League tavor a tobacco tax to be used as an off set to relieve county property tax and that a continued re- SIRES-ANDERSON BULL SALE DECEMBER 5, 1:00 P.M. at Highway 30 Ranch-Stanfield Thirty-four good rugged pasture raised bulls, conditioned the way you want them. ERNEST SIRES Stonfield, Oregon FRANK ANDERSON Heppnor Oregon search program be carried out on the effects of 2,4-D on suscepti ble crops. They asked that wneargrowers, cnemical com panics and other interested part ies contribute toward the cost of such research. They asked that any change in basic school ap portionment consider operating cost of individual districts; that an appeals board be set up on matters of law and administra tive rulings rendered by the State Industrial Accident Com mission and that a study be made on the advantages and disadvantages of including per manent farm labor under the Unemployment Compensa t i o n Act. They recommended a study of both Federal and State inher itance taxes at the affect agri culture and asked that such might be made on this subject by an OSU graduate student. They further recommended that state and federal estate tax ap praisers be required to use the same values as are used by lend ing agencies in appraising farm lands. A recommendation was made that tho state statutes or constitution be ammended to provide that in any bond elec tion held by a municipal corp oration or political subdivision that 20 of those eligible to vote must actually cast their ballots for the election to be valid. They went on record opposing bond issues for special road buildiner programs which changes distri bution of funds and that gaso line tax be continued to be used for road purposes only. They fav ored protection of statutes deal ing with implements of hus bandry exemptions and that a certificate of eligibility always be enforced on "F" license plates with farmers helping to police this law. Taxes and state laws, they agreed, affect farmers and their operations are of vital im portance in todays farming pro gram and asked that county shortcourses on taxes and farm law be arranged through County Extension Agents. They further recommended that the Oregon Wheat Growers League set up a special committee to study the farm labor problem and the pos sibility of cooperating with other farm groups on this problem. The Marketing and Transpor tation Committee reiterated their long-standing opposition to any proposal of user charges or tolls on our inland waterways and coastal harbors and opposed the limitation or modification of the bulk commodities clause or the agricultural exemption clau s t as now embraced in the Federal Transportation Policy and Regu lations. They commended Frank HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES.

Thev askerl that- thn Western Wheat Associates make periodic reports of thoir nonnm. plishments by means of a per iodic publication and that this group continue their contribu tion to Western Barley Associ ates as feed grain production bo comes more important to this area. They were concerned with attempts being made in the Great Plains tor a considerable ugntening ot u. S. grain stand ards and felt that this was not necessary in this area but that if such a move was successful in the midwest area that such would be applied to the Pacific Northwest. They asked that a tri-state committee now being formed coordinate activities in these changes and that a bin sampling program be initiated once in order that we may have information on our own grain grades sn that this mlrrht infln. ence any changes that should be maae. iney runner reiterated their stand that all grain trading be carried on a cwt. basis throughout the country. They praised the P. L. 480 program as an important marketing tool for moving grains to foreign lands and asked that P. L. 480 funds be continued.
