Agriculture Future
Concern to Holmes
Corvallis (U.(9 Robert
Holmes, Democratic nominee for
governor, expressed concern
over the future of Oregon agri
culture last night in a speech
before Benton county Demo
crats here.
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."

Acreage Reserve Part
Of Soil Bank Program
Put Into Effect Here
The acreage reserve portion of
the new soil bank plan has been
put into effect in Jackson coun
ty, according to Harry E. 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.
