Other counties which have arranged for these con ferences are Benton, Clackamas, Co lumbia, Coos, Deschutes, Douglas, Lane, Linn, Malheur, Tillamook, Union and Yamhill. The conference program will con sist as a general rule of a discussion of the types of soil found in each county and their management, drainage or irrigation requirements of the county, if any, conservation of soil fertility, the use of lime and commercial fertilizers, control of erosion and a discussion of the broad aspects of land use and a per manent agricultural program in each county.
