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.

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.

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.
