Historical Society discusses historical farms, Smith falls
by Delpha Jones
The Morrow County Histori
cal Society met on Monday
night, Dec. 29, at the Jim
Bloodsworth home for their
regular meeting. In the ab
sence of the secretary, Bar
bara Bloodsworth filled the
chair.
A report was made that
Ruth McCabe, secretary, and
Delpha Jones, chairman, had
attended the meeting of the
Forest Service and the Willow
Creek water users concerning
the Smith ditch in the moun
tains. The ladies expressed
the wishes of the society that
this ditch and waterfall be
preserved, as it is the only
waterfall in Morrow County
and has been there since the
1930s.
The society has purchased
two of the newly printed books
on Umatilla County for the
local school libraries. These
are historical accounts of the
progress and pioneers of that
area.
Folding chairs for the mu
seum are to be purchased to
help with the seating problem
there when groups hold meet
ings or come to see the
museum.
Picture frames are being
made and will hold some of the
old-time pictures that are at
the courthouse and, at present
time, not on display. These
will be hung in the courtroom.
Work is being done on a
program for the dedication of
the century-old farms in this
country, and it is hoped that
the research work can be
finished so that the dedication
may be held this fall, prefer
ably in Sept. A booklet is being
planned for the 75-year-old
Change made in
Farmer-owned
reserve program
Secretary of Agriculture
Bob Bergland has announced
a change in the farmer-owned
reserve program which will
give the Secretary discretion
to consider short-term price
aberrations before calling re
serves "Until now, reserves would
be called automatically if the
five-day moving average
price exceeded the call level
for five consecutive days.
With this change, the secre
tary has the discretion not to
call reserves if the daily
adjusted average price for
any of the previous five days is
below the call point." Berg
land said. 'This applies even
if the five-day moving average
price exceeds the call level for
the required five days.
"This will give additional
flexibility to avoid calling
reserve loans in cases when
erratic market forces push up
market prices temporarily."
Bergland said.
The regulations making this
change were filed with the
Federal Register Dec. 8.
Deadline Friday
for comments on
grazing changes
A second extension to com
ment on proposed changes in
grazing regulations has been
announced by Cecil D. An
drus, secretary of the Interior
Department.
The new comment period
now ends this Friday, January
9. Andrus granted the second
extension at the request of
several members of Congress.
The proposed changes to the
grazing regulations call for a
longer phase-in period for
. grazing adjustments, more
consultation between BLM
and range users, and more
opportunity to amend original
grazing decisions.
Before the January 9 dead
line, BLM will conduct a
Denver meeting with groups
affected by the proposed
changes. Participants will
represent state and federal
agencies, the livestock in
dustry,' conservation organiz
ations and the range science
community.
