SECTION B PACES 1 to 8 MEDFORDt&JTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 127T963" ! J BOROUGH REPRESENTATIVE-Lovcly Janet Parker, 21. flashes a big smile after being selected "Miss Brooklyn" during a beauty contest in New York. The Brooklyn belle won the right to represent the borough in the New York state finals of the "Miss Universe" competition. (UP1) Company, OSU To Study Cropping Systems in State Corvallis Co-sponsorship of an agricultural research program to explore new crop ping systems that could place one million acres of Willam ette valley farmlands under irrigation and perhaps double or treble income per acre, has utxii announced jointly by Pacific Power and Light com pany and Oregon State uni versity. Describing the program as one offering the prospects of greater diversification in the agricultural economy of the entire state as well as more intensive cropping in the Willamette valley, spokesmen for Pacific Power and OSU said initial studies indicate a tremendous untapped poten tial for upgrading valley crop production. Announcement of the pro gram followed action of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education in accepting a $50, 000 grant from Pacific Power to be made available over a five year period. Research Project The OSU Agriculture Ex periment station is adjusting its program to conduct the research project, which has been urged by farm leaders throughout the valley, it was said. "Objectives of the research are to learn how to best drain, irrigate, fertilize and crop the older alluvial soils to raise more profitable crops than are presently produced," explained F. E. Price, dean of the school of agriculture at OSU. Soils under study in clude Dayton (white land) and Amity types and Woodburn soils, the latter classed as bet ter drained.

My color choic. il: j 772-4158 Cr Only a fraction of Wil lamette valley argicultural land some 170,000 acres of the better drained soils is under Irrigation, while there are nearly one-million acres of the older alluvial soils to be studied,' Price added. "If we learn how these soils can be irrigated profitably, entire districts can be brought under irrigation Instead of the costly procedure of try ing to get water into isolated and intermingled patches of the better drained soils," he explained. Had Other Projects PP&L President Don R. McClung noted the electric utility has been associated with many agricultural re search and development proj ects in the Northwest in the past half-century. "We are especially enthusi astic about the benefits that will be shared by the com munities and farm areas we serve if more acreage can be brought under electric-powered sprinkler irrigation and produce more cash income for the region," McClung said. McClung said the economic benefits could extend to the food processing industries that would expand payrolls and to the growth of firms that supply and service agri cultural production, including irrigation equipment and fer tilizers. The research field plots are to be established this sum mer on the Linn county farm of Glenn Jackson, Medford, vice chairman of the board of directors of Pacific Power, and on the OSU, George R. Hyslop Agronomy farm be tween Albany and Corvallis. The Jackson farm has Day ton and Amity type soils that are poorly drained. The Hy slop tract Woodburn soil is of moderately well drained type. Crops Noted Although a variety of crops not presently grown commer cially in the valley ultimately will be tested, the initial work will be carried forward with brush-type green beans, sweet corn, field corn and legumes. It was explained there is a growing market for beans and corn, and silage crops must now be shipped Into the val ley for livestock feeding.. Arthur S. King, OSU ex tension conservationist, re. ported the non-Irrigated soils under study are now largely sown to ryegrass, which is surplus, and barley, which is suffering from disease. He noted the Willamette valley watershed yields sufficient water to handle any project ed increase in Irrigation. Much of the needed water is already stored and allocated for irrigation, he said. King said that in addition to the beans and corn, some ten or twelve other crops will be grown to determine their potiental production on the Dayton and Amily soils. Dr. D. D. Evans, OSU soils scientist, will coordinate the research effort of the agricul tural engineers, agronomists, horticulturalisls and agricul tural economists at OSU.
