Select Listed Variety For Seed Certification
Select a crop variety that
is eligible if you want to qual

Oregon, advised Earle Jossy,
Jackson County Agent. In
other words, there is an ap
proved list of crop varieties
in the Oregon certification
program.

"I was afraid he was going to take me to Washington

Washington Lincoln White, State Department spokes

"It should be abundantly clear that what we desire, as
the President clearly states in his letter (to Soviet Premier
Nikolai A. Bulganin), is to move toward a summit meeting
under conditions which give promise of success.
Moscow Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin, in a Tass

Farmers Vote No
On Government Aid
Philadelphia Farm Jour
nal, a national farm publica
tion, will say in its February
issue that the majority of its
readers who participated in a
nationwide poll want less
government help than they
are getting.
Of those who returned bal
lots, published in the maga
zine's December issue, almost
exactly half 50.1 per cent
wanted the government to
"get clear out of farming."
Another 11 per cent voted
for "less government help
than now."
Only 27 per cent voted for
more government help. The
remaining 12 per cent said
they were satisfied with farm
programs as they now stand.
Regional Variation's Defined.
Regional variations were
well defined, and on the
whole predictable. Eastern
farmers, who are traditional
ly conservative and who grow
few crops that are government-controlled,
cast the
greatest percentage of votes
against federal programs 63
ing through strict grading to
meet consumer demands, and
to promote increased use of
their products by consumers.
mis engiDiuty list through a
hocus-pocus procedure, but
each variety, up for consid
eration, is reviewed by the
Oregon State college certifi
cation board. Facts such as
data showing adaption, yield,
disease and insect resistance,
and seed needs, are just some
of the things that are exam
ined by the certification
board. Proved . superior per
formance of -a new variety in
one or more categories : over
varieties not eligible is con
sidered a requirement to elig
ibility for certification.'
Even though this procedure
has been a part of the Ore
gon certification program for
many years, there are people
who still believe that payment
of certification fees entitles
them to certification of almost
any crop or variety.
Subject to Revision
This eligibility list is sub
ject to revision each year by
the board. As new superior
crop varieties are developed,
they may be added to the list.
Older varieties that are re
placed by better ones, are re
moved from the eligibility
variety list.
Jossy reports that at least
one year s advance notice is
given before a variety is drop
ped from certification. Final
approval to delete or add a
variety is given by the cer
tification board.
The board reserves the right
of accepting for certification
varieties recommended for
production in Oregon by the
Oregon Experiment station
All crops recommended for
production in the state will
not automatically be eligible
for certification. Only varie
ties that contain superior
qualities that may be lost
without . a planned method of
production are eligible, states
Jossy.
Many crops are produced
for seed in Oregon that do
not need a program such as
this. With these, good seed can
be maintained by a reasonable
purity standards. Crop var
ieties developed in other
states, to be eligible for cer
tification in Oregon, must b
approved here, too. More iiv
formation on this subject may
be obtained in the Jackson
County agents office.

In the Central states, where
wheat and corn, both subject
to price supports, are major
crops, the vote against the
government dropped to 43
per cent, and the vote for still
more government help rose
to 35 per cent. v
Southern- farmers, whose
cotton, rice, and peanuts are
all subject to supports, turned
in the major surprise. Fifty
three per cent of their ballots
were cast against govern
ment help.
Those who voted for some
government aid either about
the same as now of more
were asked on the ballot to
say which of four types of
aid they preferred.
The current program of
price supports and controls
proved the favorite, capturing
43 per cent of this portion of
the vote. Production pay
ments (direct payments from
the government to farmers)
plus acreage controls ran
neck and neck with votes in
favor of the government mak
ing payments to ' take land
completely out of farming.
Two Price Plan Unpopular
A two-price plan (higher
prices on what can 'be con
sumed at home, lower prices
on what can be expected) fin
ished in last place, being sup
ported mainly by Western
wheat growers and Southern'
cotton farmers.
In a third vote, farmers
who favored support prices
with controls voted 'strongly
(68 per cent) for higher sup
ports than at present, even at
the expense of still more
rigid acreage controls. Only
8 per cent favored more acres
and lower supports. The re
maining 24 per cent would
settle for supports and acre-':
age as at present.
Farm Journal explains that i
its poll was voluntary, and I
made only among its own
subscribers. It points out, j
however, that because of the j
magazine's large circulation i
(3,500,000) and the nation- ;
wide distribution of that cir-
culation, statistical consult
ants "believe the results give
'a pretty good indication of
farmer thinking."
In an editorial in the same
issue, signed by Carroll P.
Streeter, the. magazine's edi
tor, Farm Journal declares
that farmers are "disillu
sioned" with government pro
grams to aid them and sug
gests that lasting solutions
will be found only as farm
ers organize themselves to
regulate their own produc
tion to improve their market-
