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-

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

attempts being made in the

necessary in this area but that
if such a move was successful
in the midwest area that such
would be applied to the Pacific

these changes and that a bin

be continued.
