HERMISTON. OREGON. Although Oregon is below the average in percentage of tenants in comparison to farm ownership, ap proximately 28 per cent of all the farm families in the state rent the land they work, and more than a third of these move each year. Thia and much more information on the subject of farm tenure improvement is contained in a report issued by the United States department of agricul ture and submitted to each state ex tension service and other agency concerned with this problem. The Oregon State college extension service is cooperating in the improve ment of farm tenure. J. R. Beck, ru ral service specialist, has recently distributed copies of improved lease forms to all county agents’ offices, where they may be obtained for use in connection with the usual fall mov ing period. In the United States as a whole 4 2 per cent of all farmers are ten ants or share croppers, and nearly half of the total farm land in this country is operated under lease. In Oregon approximately 14,700 farm families are renters, and an average of 36 per cent of these, or 5300, moved in one year. Thus, at the time the study was made, close to 10 per cent of the farm families in the state moved to a new place. This rapid change in tenants is highly expensive, both to the renters and the landlords, according to this study by the USDA. The average cost to tenants is estimated at around $75 per move, with the cost to the landlords being about the same. The leasing arrangements which prevail throughout much of the country are not conducive to effective conserva tion and do not encourage tenants to make improvements or to develop the most profitable types of farming for themselves and for the land owners. The improved lease forms distribu ted to county agents here in Oregon are not considered a solution to the tenant problem but do offer some bet terments, according to Beck. They are simple in form and are designed to encourage leasing for more than one year, or one-year leasing with automatic renewal. Other features encourage improvements, fair rates of rent, and development of better types of farming. RUPTURE Shield-Expert H. L.

Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon State college, during the eleventh an nual western Oregon irrigation tour held on the experiment station farms. In some parts of the state and for some products increased acreages of certain crops will be possible, al though in others higher production will depend upon increasing the yields of present acreages either by additional moisture or other means, he said.. War conditions have reduced or entirely eliminated the importation of many of the seeds and other special ty crops for which Oregon is ideally adapted, Dean Schoenfeld pointed out. He mentioned specifically the various grass and clover seeds, field pea and vetch seed, both fiber flax and seed flax, sugar beet seed, flower bulbs, hops, filberts, and even less common products such as poppy and mustard seed, pyrethrum, peppermint oil and certain foreign types of cheese. By stressing the production of these crops in the immediate future, Dean Schoenfeld said, it will be pos sible for Oregon farmers to compen sate somewhat for the lost markets for staple crops caused by this same war. At the same time Oregon farm ers will thus be able to supply other farmers in the United States with essential seed no longer obtainable in usual quantities abroad. “Preparedness involves much more than merely military defenses,” he added, “and this is an important step in providing America with essential agricultural products.” Adaptation of crop systems to make full use of irrigation was ex plained by a number of specialists in the course of the tour. INCREASED POWER PER M IT APPROVED FOR RADIO KOAC FULL ASSORTMENT GAMBLES ACE SHOTGUN SHELLS Will be Carried — Guaranteed. FUN. W ERE SUCH The long sought improvement of KOAC, the state-owned radio station at Corvallis, has been brought a long step nearer realization through the granting by the federal communca- tions commission of the petition to increase the KOAC power from 1000 watts to 5000 watts daytime service, according to officials of Oregon State college licensee of the station. Approval of the power boost opens the way for the state board of high er education to make use of the ap propriation made by the 1939 legis lature for the construction of a new and modern transmitter on college property several miles north of Cor vallis. The appropriation has been unused pending action by the com mission on the long fought effort of the state station to protect its wave length and modernize its facilities. Regarding the wave length, the commission had previously ruled that an Arizona station, KOY, would be permitted to use the 550-Kilocycle band, but limited that station to 1000 watts and promised that “if object ionable interference should develop ........... the commistflon will enter an order requiring appropriate proOMt* ion.” KOAC engineers submitted four complete engineering plans before all objections of the navy department and others to the proposed expansion were removed. The plan accepted calls for a directional antenna to pro tect the Tongue Point naval base. This design will be a real benefit to most KOAC listeners, however, as the daytime signals to the north, east, and south, where most of the popula tion is, will be increased about five times, while the modern equipment and increase power will also give those to the west better service than they now receive, according to the engineers.
