He was quoting a statement made by Judge Paul Jones. Even with the threat of serious wind erosion, local people recognize the import ance of this land use change to stimulate economic growth and to fully develop the natural resources. They are aware that, triggered by excessive wind erosion from fields, adjoining states are seriously considering strict land use laws and this could happen in Oregon. He stated that erosion control practices typically increase the cost of crop production. The establishment of a cover crop on newly developed soil requires a cost of $45 to $60 per acre. It may also mean that a crop cannot be grown for harvest during the first year. Mulching with straw or other material involves a cost of $35 to $55 per acre for materials and spreading. A windbreak of shrubs, grain or wheatgrass could cost from $'i to $7 per acre, but would have limited effect in the early years. In addition to this investment, there would be the loss of the use of the land involved. The benefits of practices to control wind erosion are usually more difficult to measure. There is the cost of not having to replant a blown-out crop. Saving the value of crop production which is lost due to damage inflicted by wind wnd blowing soil is another example. The decrease in windborne loss of chemicals and nutrients either applied or already avail able to the crop is a potential benefit. Control practices may result in reduced irrigation require ments owing to less evaporation loss. Increase in crop yields could also result from the more favorable growing conditions. He feels that a broad based educational program should be aimed at all segments of the rural community to: 1. tell the farmer how he can economically combat erosion ; 2. tell the agribusiness com munity, including lenders, how important conserva tion is and why new credit terms may be needed; 3. tell the local citizens about the economic and physical problems involved and why the "ideal" solution is not always economically feasi ble for the individual. It behooves the farmer - he concluded - to use whatever data are available in determin ing his farming practices. He should provide for an economi cal level of erosion control, considering not only the present but also the future effects of these practices. If the economi cal level of conservation from the standpoint of the farmer falls short of what is acceptable to the community, some kind of public assistance may be neces sary to prevent pollution and maintain the community's re source base. Such public action might include such measures as a change in tax Jaws. An improvement in credit arrangements, or some type of cost-sharing between farmers and the government.

Their decision was no "reseat" would be approved for the 1973-74 storage period for Wheat, Barley, Corn, Grain Sorghum, Oats or live loans, according to David McLeod, local ASCS Director. Storage will be paid through May 31 on these commodity loans in farm storage on that date. Producers having loans on these grains on past years crops will have the opportunity to liquidate their loans between now and June. Announcement of this deci sion at this time should allow for an orderly marketing of these loan commodities through sale, said McLeod. 4-H Horse Club ( Alt!)
