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.
Wilbur Cooney, dean of the
School of Agriculture, reviewed
some of the adjustments that
have taken place In the OSU
agricultural curriculum. He ob
served that the declining num
ber of farms and farmers has

been Intrepreted by the general
public as rejecting a aecnning
need for agricultural gradates.
"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.

Wheat Outlook
Brighter This
Year, Says OSU
ifhdii firmiirs are likelv to
o mnn tor their wheat this
year than in 13. and those
who sign up for the i;b wneai
program and divert the mini
mum cropland acreage to con
servation uses will be money
ahead.
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.
Copies of the Farm and Mar
ket Outlook, which also contains
information on over-all price
pressures, feed grain prices and
wool prices, are available from

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

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.
