OSU Officials Extension Council Talk of Problems Cooperative Extension pro irrsms ranting from water re source development to modern social problems came In for dis cussion recently when the Mid Columbia Extension Council met with top Oregon State Uni versity officials at Corvallis. The council, made up of rep resentatives from Umatilla, Mor row. Gilliam. Wheeler. Sher man and Wasco Counties, was formed last year to advise on extension programs common to the counties. Although each county has an advisory group, the purpose of the council Is to consider extension problems and opportunities that need the joint action of the six basin counties. Gene Winters, county extension agent attended from Morrow county. Morris Wilson of Condon, chairman of the council, said the main purpose for the meet ing at OSU was to help the coun cil become acquainted with ex tension organization, policies and programs. OSU President James Jensen called for more and stronger grass roots participation and leadership In extension pro grams. He pointed out a ten dency for Increased federal dir ection In policies by the control of funds that can be spent in education programs of the land grant university.

"Actually the opposite Is true." Dean Cooney said. "There Is a greater need than ever before for qualified off-farm agricul turists in chemistry', food pro cessing, transportation and oth er educational and service pro grams." He urged the group to assist in the recruitment of qualified students to meet the growing needs of agri-business. fn lear. director of the co operative extension service, out lined the probable expansion oi extension activity in Oregon prompted by passage of the na tional Technical Services and Higher Education Acts. Both provide for extension activities for fields other than agriculture, home economics and related arts. These bills were intended to establish extension services for business, engineering. Industry and the professions," Lear com mented. "Just how they will be carried on in Oregon has not yet been determined, but pro grams are in the process of being developed." He said that it Is important that local peo ple help in determining pro gram priorities. The group discussed the dir ection of water development and irrigation in the Columbia Basin area. Wilson said the council agreed that executive study and planning will be needed for or derly and wise development of the vast acreages of desert and dry land to be irrigated in tne future. The group also explored the social problems of early mar riage, school dropouts and call ed for programs that will re verse the trend of rising wel fare loads.

This is the opinion of Stephen Marks. Oregon State University extension agricultural econo mist. U'rittncr In th latest Issue Of the Oregon Farm and Market Outlook. Marks notes that grow ers who do not choose to partlc- inn t in the Droeram snouui fare at least as well in the mar ket place as during tie current marketing season. Marks rtninte nut that there are some important changes in the 1966 program, a coupie oi them are an increase in the vaino nt dnmnstio marketing rortifir-ntfwj and minimum crop land diversion equal to 15 per cent of the farm wheat acre age allotment. Marks advises growers to do some figuring on expected in come before signing up to di vert more than the minimum 15 per cent. As far as the cash market outlook Is concerned. Marks said the strong market under tone that developed in world and domestic wheat markets this winter should continue in to the 1966-67 season. Domestic cash prices for white wheat are likely to hover at or near world price levels at Pacific North west ports. In light of the market out look, spring wheat growers are being encouraged to harvest their full acreage allotment this year. Marks said that there is no indication that the same op tion of diverting up to 50 per cent for conservation will be removed for winter wheat, but chances are a change will be made for the 1967 crop.

Farm Market Receipts Reach New Mark in '65 Cash receipts from farm mar ketings in Oregon reached a record hih in 1965. according to Mr. Elvera - Horrell. Oregon State University agricultural economist. Preliminary estimates place the 1963 total at $l."4 million, seven per cent higher than a year ago. and two x r cent more than the previous high reached during the Korean War year of 1951. Although figures on farm costs have not been released as yet. Mrs. Horrell points out that farm production expenses were at a record high in 1964'. and probably climbed even higher in 196.". Nationally, cash receipts from farming went up five per cent. Total personal Income In Ore gon also moved up faster than incomes national! v. according to Mrs. Horrell. Olficial data for 1965 are not yet available, but reliable trade sources place per sonal income in the state at nearly $5.4 billion. This repre sents a gnin of nearly 10 per cent over 1964. compared with a national gain of less than nine per cent. Oregon's population gTowth is slightly less than the national average, however. In the five years since the last major U. S. census, Oregon's population has increased at an average rate of 1.4 per cent a year, according to Mrs. liorreU The national average increase is 13 per cent. The farm cost price ledger nationally for February showed that farmers purchasing power managed to inch up a few more notches. For the past several years, prices paid by farmers for goods and services have gen erally climbed much faster-than the prices they received for their farm products In the market place. The parity rate, or the "fair exchange" rate between prices paid and prices received, reach ed 83 in mid-February, though This is the highest mark since December, 1958. Prices received by farmers, nationally, Jumped three per cent in February. Prices of cat tle, eggs and vegetables provid ed the major push behind the rise in prices. February saw a new record high in costs paid by farmers, also. Both family living items and production items shared in the advance. Cash receipts from farm mar ketings in Oregon rose seven per cent during 1965 to set a new record high. National gain last year averaged five per cent -1 Pontile Motor Dlvlilof Ore.

Writing In the latest Oregon Farm and Market Outlook cir cular release! thi week bv the OSU Extension Service. Marks indicated that wool pri C"" erally strengthened In the clos ing months of last year. Only moderate price imteasos are ex ftected in with the advance likely to occur early in the sea son. Synthetic fibers remain a strong competitor but smaller world supplies of wool, stepix-d up demands for private Indus trial use. and government mili tary needs are bolstering the wool market. Mill use of apparel wool In 19'4j Is expected to match the 270 million pounds consumed by U. S. mills early last year. Marks noted. Imports of apparel wool tex tile products probably will con tinue at a high annual rate, predicted the OSU economist. They will be near the record 1965 total of more than 81 mil lion pounds. However, dutiable raw wool imports this year are expected to be smaller, probably around 150 million. U. S. stocks of raw wool prob ably are larger than a year ago. Based on figures reported by the Wool Associates of the New York Cotton Exchange, February 1 stocks were about a tenth lar ger at around 70 million pounds. With the new clip now becom ing available, these stocks are considered adequate by the trade. Yes, the Gazette-Times can print the form you need for bust ness or ranch use.
