applied in 1955 in the Sams Valley-Beagle

district were reported by B. J.

rict meeting at the Eagle Point
xirange.
About 50 district cooperators
attended. R. Bruce Grieve, Pros
pect, chairman, was in charge.

technical assistance for develop
ing farm conservation plans,
covers 896,000 acres in northern

servation practices applied in

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.

ment of 2,700 lineal feet of
stream channel and construction
of 13 miles of ditches and four
diversion dams. Soil surveys
were made of of 17.925 acres.
Flood Control Report
William L. Jess, chairman of
the Rogue Basin Flood commit
tee, reported to the meeting
concerning the progress of
flood control survey work. He
encouraged individuals to take
part in the Rogue Basin Flood
Control and Water Resources
association, which will meet
next Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the
Jackson county courthouse.
Jess said reports from the sur
vey undertaken by the soil con
servation districts will be with
held because of other surveys
made by various groups and
that the committee will encour
age a comprehensive report by
Army engineers.
50 Soil Districts
Glen R. Purnell, executive
secretary of the Oregon State
Soil Conservation committee,
was introduced and commented
on the purpose of the state com
mittee. He said that the state
had 50 soil conservation dis
tricts as of July, 1955, compared
with 36 in Jan., 1953.
Purnell replaces Richard
Baum, who recently resigned.
Experiments with dry-land
range grasses, now underway at
the Southern Oregon- Experi
ment station, were explained by
Cox, who said grasses started
at the Talent sub-station will be
tested in the Sams Valley
Beagle district this year.
Supervisors elected for four
terms were Grieve and William
Jess. Earl B. Day, Central Point,
was re-elected to a three-year
term. The seven-man board of
supervisors will elect district of
ficers at their next regular
meeting.
Films related to .agriculture

Disaster Area Tag
Portland (U.R) One county
in Oregon doesn't want a disas
ter area tag attached to it that
would permit farmers to buy
surplus feed grains at a discount.
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.

Oregon Farmers Appraise Results Of Severe Winter
