‘Shop Early’
Oregon farmers in 14 counties are
going to give searching attention to
the basic problems of conserving and
improving their own soil resources
and in getting the best returns from
the various types of soil found on
each individual farm.
A series of 14 two-day conferences
for the consideration of these pro
blems has been scheduled by the
O.S.C. extension service. The first
one will be held In Marion county
December 8 and 9 to be followed
immediately by the Polk county
conference December 10 and 11.
The schedule will be resumed
early in January on exact dates still
to be decided upon. 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.
Arthur King, extension soils spe
cialist, is in general charge of the
series while on each program will
appear the county agent, Drs. W. L.
Powers and R. E. Stevenson of the
state college soils staff, a represen
tative of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, and A. S. Burrier, head of the
farm management department of the
college.
