OREGON EXPECTED TO GROW MOST CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. Oregon will have the largest acre age of crested wheat grass next year of any state in the Union, judging from present plans for seeding this grass by eastern Ore gon farmers and stockmen. A jump from about 3000 acres grown this year to about 53,000 acres next year is in prospect, a cording to E. I. Jackman, extension agronomist at Oregon State college, who has re cently checked up on seed supplies on hand. “As soon as the new agri ■ 'turai conservation program was put into effect, eastern Oregon county agents sensed the fact th t the use of cres ted wheat grass on suh-marginal grain lands of the Columbia basin and other eastern Oregon sections would provide one of the best means of cooperating with the pro ram and improving the basic agricultural j set-up of the entire re ion,” said Jackman. “As crested wheat grass seed is not available In unlimited quanti ties, it appeared that only those forehanded to obtain supplies would he able to vse It. The extension ser vice located , available seed supplies | in all states where crested wheat grass is being grown, and growers ordered practically all of the seed offered. As a consequence, Oregon now has on hand enough seed to boost the present acreage more than 17 fold." Of all the many new grasses in troduced into Oregon by the state college experiment station and ex tension service, crested wheat grass has proved to have by far the most advantages for large-scale produc tion over a wide area. It is a long- lived perennial bunch grass, highly drouth resistant and able to with stand other adverse conditions, such as cold weather and heavy grazing. Crested wheat grass starts growth at a lower temperature than other cultivated perennial grasses, thus making earlier pasture. Owing to its early spring growth and exten sive root system, it has the ability to compete successfully with weeds, both while becoming established and afterwards. Its excellent growth and extensive fibrous rooting system makes it ideal in checking both wind and water erosion. Alfalfa Great Soil Builder. DALLAS—Alfalfa is probably the greatest soil building factor ever introduced into the Willamette val ley, says County Agent W. C. Leth. Enormous yields of other crops are reported almost every time a crop is grown on a field where an alfalfa sod is turned under, he says, and the benefits carry on for more than one year. The ideas of Oregon farmers as to improving the present agricultural conservation program for next year will be carried to regional officials of the AAA by representatives of the Oregon State college extension service on October 14. On that date a special district meeting at Poca tello, Idaho, is being held when the summaries of suggestions will be re ceived. Sources of these suggestions are individual and groups of Oregon farmers given opportunity to express their own ideas in a series of 32 county meetings held the week of September 28 to October 3. Every effort is being made by the state committee, the extension service and the regional officials to make next year’s program even better adapted to the local needs of each state and district than was the case this year, according to those in charge of the program. Immediate purchase of 3000 tons of Pacific coast standard prunes, in addition to the 5000 tons of sub- standard prunes to be handled through a diversion program, has been authorized by Secretary of Ag riculture Wallace. Of the new pur chase, 2400 tons will be bought in California and 600 tons in the Pa cific northwest. The purchases will be made from packers who agree to buy an equal quantity of unprocessed 1936 crop prunes from growers “at prices not less than a 31 cent basis.’* These standard prunes will be distributed to families on relief rolls and will thus be removed from normal trade channels, according to AAA an nouncement. The 5000 tons of sub- standard prunes to be purchased will be diverted to by-products or export trade. These two steps have been taken by the AAA at the request of prune growers who say that this will do much to stabilize the prune market this year. A meeting of the Range Livestock Advisory committee has been called for Pendleton on Friday, October 2, by F. L. Ballard, vice-director in charge of extension at O.S.C. All proposals for range conservation practices under the AAA will be submitted to this advisory commit- 'O' for their recommendation, and f-rther suggestions, if any, will be o’ tained from them. With approval ready given for carrying out a ange pro-ram on private lands dur ior the remaining three months t "r°G. It is hoped that early approv al of specific practices can also be obt ined. A State Poultry council will be organized in Oregon under the sponsorship of the Oregon Poultry men's association as a means of co- ordinating the efforts and pooling the influence of more than a dozen different poultry and allied organi zations in the state, it was decided at the twelfth annual Poultrymen’s convention just held at Oregon State college. This convention, attended by more than 200 growers, turned into an enthusiastic meeting in which it was decided to take the lead in a vigor ous policy of bringing the impor tance of the industry before the peo ple of the state and nation. Past efforts to gain needed legislation or other action in behalf of the indus try have been too often nullified by inability of those interested to speak with a united voice, according to Ambrose Brownell, Milwaukie, chair man of the special committee ap pointed a year ago to formulate a plan for a state-wide council. The council as planned will be made up of delegate representatives from all the different organizations interested, and it will operate some what along the lines of the well established dairy councils. Among the projects mentioned for its im mediate attention were revision of the state egg law, obtaining ade quate appropriations for poultry di sease investigations, including tur key diseases; uniform labeling law for vitamin bearing oils, considera tion of tariff policies, promoting state cooperation in important ex positions and a number of other les ser projects. The convention heard the predic tion from A. S. Burrier, head of the farm management department at O.S.C., that the Willamette valley would have 40,000 farms by 1940, as compared with 33,000 in 1935. This, he said, will mean smaller farm units and a tendency toward more poultry production as a means of Intensifying agriculture. Other speakers discussed the effect of this prospective movement as regards in creased egg production and possible Increase in poultry meat production. New officers elected were Lloyd Smyth, Canby, president; P. A. Gent, Eugene, vice-president; F. L. Knowlton, O.S.C., re-elected secre tary-treasurer; Horace Peterson. Junction City, and V. A. Parker, Blachly, directors. ------------- » ■ »--------- More Growers Brand Turkeys.

It speaks of Cooperation as "The great est constructive effort of the work ers . . . the most profoundly revolu tionary of all the workers’ move ments," but then adds this serious indictment, “there is probably no great Movement that is so little known as the Cooperative Move- ment." It is up to us all to prevent this in America by widely publiciz- ing the power of oi r Movement for the healing of our economic ills. We have succeeded in our initial efforts to secure a large amount of publici ty with a very small amount of ex pense compared with ordinary pub- licity campaigns. This, however, should only be the beginning of still greater plans for “selling” our great Movement to America.
