A license for fertilisers
A review session for farmers who want to obtain a private
applicator's license so that they may purchase and apply
restricted-use chemicals will be held Wednesday, April 2, at 1
p.m. at Lexington School.
The test will be given about 2:30 p.m. by a representative of
the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said Harold Kerr,
Morrow County agent for the Oregon State University
Extension Service.
Kerr also advised that the government's Commodity Credit
Corporation is buying wheat to replace sales lost because of the
embargo against Russia, Farmers may offer their wheat in
carload lots, USDA No. 2 quality or better. Growers may set the
price they want for their wheat. A total of 4.3 million metric
tons is to be purchased. To make an offer, contact the
Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office.
"As I understand it," said Kerr, "USDA will buy the cheapest
wheat which would probably come out of the Midwest."

Public asked to
comment on
ag programs
Robert Adelman. district
conservationist for the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service in
Heppner said that Friday,
March 28. will be the end of a
60-day review period, during
which the public has been
asked to indicate the direction
conservation programs should
take.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has proposed se
ven possible strategies for
changes in its soil and water
conservation programs. These
include the possibility of
federal and state laws that
would require farmers to
control soil erosion. Also
included is . .ugestion that
farmers be required to have a
soil conservation program
before receiving crop insur
ance, price support payments,
low interest loans and other
help from the USDA's farm
programs.
Another of USDA's propo
sals is that farmers be offered
stronger incentives to practice
soil conservation. Such incen
tives could include tax reduc
tions, cash bonuses and low
interest loans.
Anyone of these strategies
could become a reality if the
majority of the public favor it
strongly. These strategies can
be reviewed in detail at the
Soil Conservation Service of
fice in Heppner. Written
comments can be sent to the

QUESTION SUBMITTED TO THE LEGAL VOTERS OF SAID DISTRICT
TAX LEVY OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION
Proposal: Shall Blue Mountain Community College be authorized
to levy $2,335,439 outside the tax base for the purpose of fin
ancing college operations during 1960-81?
Explanation: The college has no tax base; therefore, the total
tax levy is in excess of that authorized under Section II,
Article XJ, of the Oregon Constitution. Because the college
has no tax base. It must submit the total levy to the voters
annually to obtain operating funds. The amount requested here
would provide operating funds for the 1980-81 fiscal year.
The Increase over the preceding year is due to inflationary
Increases in the cost of materials, services, and salaries.
Social security and retirement costs are mandatory end the
rates for electricity and heating fuel are also continuing to
Increase. These Inflationary cost increases result in increased
operating costs without any major program expansions.
If this measure is approved, $2,335,439 of the taxes levied
will be financed partially by the State of Oregon which will
result in an estimated rate of $1.37 per $1,000 of true cash
value, exclusive of levies for bond principal and interest and
6erial levies for capital construction. The rate of $1.37 per
$1,000 T.C.V. is an increase of 5 per $1 ,000 over the current
year's levy.
