AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS REPORTED Further progress is reported on the 1936 agricultural conservation program in Oregon, although plans for 1937 have not been announced, according to N. C. Donaldson, execu tive secretary. The state committee has completed its work in setting the total county soil-depleting bases and forwarded its recommendations to Washington for the approval of the Agricultural Adjustment admin istration. As soon as approval has been ob tained, the state committee will cer- tify to each county committee the total county soil-depleting base for the county. It will then be the du- ty of the county committee to ad- just the individual farm soil-deplet ing bases to whatever extent may be necessary to make them ba lance with the total county soil-depleting base. When this has been done and the work checked by the state com mittee, the individual applications for grants can be made ! out. Plans for the 1937 agricultural conservation program involve a of the number of problems. One ( problems, according to AAA admin istrator H. R. Tolley, is to get a plan which will fit in with the situation in the drought states. Other pro blems have been presented in the suggestions made in community meetings held all over the country. These suggestions and problems are being threshed out in a conference with representatives from the states, Some consideration is also being given to the 1938 program which should perhaps be referred to as the 1938 state programs. As the feder- al law now stands, each individual state will have to work out a plan for carrying on the soil conserva tion work after January 1, 1938, in a way which will meet with the ap proval of the secretary of agricul ture. i The help of farmers all over Ore- CO-OP DAIRY GROUPS gon is being asked in the,prepara- i tion of a new bulletin on weed eon- • INCREASE VOLUME trol to be published soon at Oregon State college.

Mr. Page asserted that reclama tion is at the cross-roads, and he ap pealed for the best thought of the west in seeking a solution for the problems confronting reclamation. He quoted the late Dr. Elwood Mead: "The fundamental idea of the rec tarnation act was the creation of homes, and in that it has been pre- eminently successful.” Joining with the nation’s active head of reclamation are an impres sive gathering of senators, congress men, engineers and business men of authority that have swelled the at- tendance to a point where the pre vious top enrollment of 250 at any annual meeting is surpassed by a registration of close to 700 at this Spokane meeting.

Alpine Farm Bureau Meeting. was An Oregon 4-H club boy again declared the best in the Uni- ted States this week for the fourth time in the past 10 years when H. Clayton Fox of Imbler in Union county was named as the outstand ing club boy in the nation and the winner of the famous Moses leader ship trophy, according to word re ceived by the state club leader at Oregon State college. The National Committee on Boys' and Girls’ Club Work meeting in Chicago, informed the club office at O.S.C. just in time for young Fox, a 1935 graduate of Imbler high school, to catch a train for Chicago where all of his expenses to the fif teenth annual National 4-H Club congress will be paid as an addition al reward. Fox joins two other Oregon boys and one girl as national 4-H club champions. Alex Cruickshank of McMinnville first won the Moses trophy in 1927 and Edgar Grimes of Harrisburg repeated in 1928. Lois Bailey of Eugene was the first Ore gon girl to win the coveted prize in 1929. Fox, who has made a remarkable record in his eight years of club work, was selected by a state com mittee as the Oregon representative in the national contest after his rec- ord as a county winner had been carefully studied along with those of other county candidates in the state. As the winner of second place in the national Thomas E. Wilson meat animal project contest last year, Fox won a $200 scholarship and added another $100 toward his college ed- ucation on the $100 Union Pacific scholarship awarded by President Gray. He expects to enroll at Ore- gon State college in January and pay for his entire college work from premium winnings, his scholarships and his earnings from his present livestock ownings which include 150 sheep, 61 hogs, five dairy animals and one beef steer. These have been conservatively estimated in value at $3000 by County Agent H. G. Avery of Union county, who has worked with Fox in all of his projects. During his eight years in club work, the new national champion has made a total of 332 entries at 32 fairs and received $1500.07 in premiums. His leadership has been outstanding. He has been a presi dent five years, vice president four years and secretary three years in the various sheep, pig, beef, dairy, poultry and farm accounting clubs of which he has been a member. TOY MAKING CIRCULAR READY Simple toys that can easily be made at home often prove the most Intriguing to small children, who spend countless happy hours play ing with such things as a can of painted spools, spool dolls, decora- ted clothespins, and similar things, says Mrs. Maude M. Morse, extension specialist in child development and parent education at Oregon State college. Items such as these often make inexpensive but very acceptable Christmas presents for small rela tives and friends. Directions for making those mentioned, and many more are found in a circular Just prepared by Mrs. Morse, entitled, "Directions for Making Homemade Toys.” The number is HE 925. and it is available free from home dem- onstration agents or from the college at Corvallis.
