Holmes urged that steps be taken to insure that "Oregon does not become as it is becom ing an economic empire con trolled by big men living in smaller states." "I look at the farm depres sion in Oregon today and won der what real incentive the young man and young woman has for going into family farm ing as a way of life," Holmes said. In a speech earlier in the day at Eugene, Holmes warned of a "cold war in education." "If we are to win freedoms fight in the underdeveloped areas of the world," Holmes said "we have to graduate more chemists, physicists, mathematic ians, engineers, agricultural ex perts and more people in liber al arts than Russia is training."

Mar tin, manager of the Jackson county agricultural stabilization committee office. Wheat, the only allotment crop in Jackson county, is grown by 187 farmers on 860 acres, about half of the county's 1,604 acre allotment Spring wheat farmers, who underplanted allotments in an ticipation of the 1956 acreage reserve or who were unable to plant because of adverse weath er, are eligible to participate in the soil bank plan, Martin said. In some cases, eligibility is based on destruction of spring wheat acreage by natural causes. Spring Crops Spring wheat crops which are plowed under, clipped, or mow ed, but not for hay,, have the payment based on the actual yield of the normal yield per acre. Payment to Jackson county farmers is $1.15 per bushel, but the field must be inspected prior to the actual destroying of the crop, Martin said. If the crop is destroyed by natural causes, such as winter kill, flood, 'or hail, a payment of not less than S6 per acre will be made, he added. The amount of land that may be put into acreage reserve is half of the farmer's allotment or 50 acres, whichever is larger, with the smallest amount of acreage in reserve being five. Winter wheat acreage not planted due to anticipated acre age reserve, will bring $4 an acre if the farmer complies with qualifications. The reserve land may not fce cut for hay, grazed, planted lor harvest, or cropped for the cal endar year 1956, but noxious weeds must be controlled. ; Deadline Listed The deadline for compliance with acreage reserve qualifica tions is July.31, 1956, for winter wheat growers. The deadline for signing an acreage reserve con tract is July 20, 1956. To qualify for the program the farmer must have less wheat acreage than his allotment. If the harvest yields more than 15 bushels above the allotment, he is liable for penalty of $1.07 per bushel. A farmer, to be eli gible for the soil bank, must stay within the allotment, Mar tin said. Normal yield per acre for wheat allotment farms will be established the week of July 9, according to Martin. He men tioned that participation in the acreage reserve will not reduce wheat allotments. Additional information on the 1956 wheat acreage reserve may be obtained at the local ASC office in the courthouse.
