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;

The introduction Is striking. 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
