Conservation Soil District Reported Major conservation practices applied in 1955 in the Sams Valley-Beagle Soil Conservation district were reported by B. J. Cox, work unit conservationist, at Monday night's annual dist rict meeting at the Eagle Point xirange. About 50 district cooperators attended. R. Bruce Grieve, Pros pect, chairman, was in charge. The district, which offers technical assistance for develop ing farm conservation plans, covers 896,000 acres in northern Jackson county. Cox reported that major con servation practices applied in the district during 1955 includ ed 1.104 acres crop residue utilization; 1,447 acres proper use of pasture; 1,357 acres range seeding; 82 acres drainage; 423 acres new land irrigated; 165 acres sprinkler irrigation; and 442 acres conservation crop rotating. A total of 524 acres received improved water application; 237 Cofigress Urged To M Foreign Aid Washington fU.R) Acting Secretary of State Herbert Hoo ver Jr. urged reluctant congress men today to approve President Eisenhower's S4. 860, 000,000 for eign aid bill in full. He called it a vital weapon to strengthen U.S. Allies and head off a vigorous new Russian offensive to dominate the world through political and economic subversion. Hoover testified o before- the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee as the lead off administra tion witness in support of Mr. Eisenhower's aid bill. It provides for a $2,'200,000,000 increase in foreign aid appropriations in the 1957 fiscal year, but actual aid spending would be only about 5200,000,000 more than the cur ' rent fiscal year. The administration appeared to have a hard uphill fight. Most lawmakers were asking but one question: How deeply ' should the bilPbe cut? Hoover said the President's program actually calls for only a "prudent and moderate in crease" in actual spending dur ing the 12 months beginning next July 1. He said most of the $2,200,000,000 increase in appro priations is needed to prevent lags in future military aid. i,.i . J r.iuini- ii ni -v?sj.fci temB ill he i u S A I I !

Wheeler county, declared a disaster area because of last summer's drought conditions, gave the government back its drought area rating. Stockmen of the county said that they did not ask for the rating and did not want it. They said no drought existed in the county and one stockman, W. H. Steiwer, of Fos sil, described the rating as an "example of bureaucracy at work. USDA officials here said that if Wheeler county ranchers didn't want government aid, they wouldn't get it. Meanwhile several Willamette valley dairy farmers are hoping for declaration of their areas as disaster areas which would allow them to buy the surplus feed at a S20 a ton discount. Formal request for such aid was expected to come from a meeting of several valley dairy men at Hillsboro. Delaware is divided into only three counties.
