Permit System
Allows Export
Of Raw Logs
i ; (Continued from Pig 1)
' y Timbermen got a permit
i system to let them export
'.:! logs from public lands
'' when the logs aren't wanted
l by Oregon mills. They also
' -s got some tax revisions.
''. i Ranchers who lease state
grazing lands got a program
' under which they can bor-
row from the state to improve
; the range.
; ; The elderly with limited in-
comes got a broader program
;6i medical assistance and
' some tax relief on their
homes.'
' For -the needy, the legisla
t ture gave a greener light on
' food stamp and surplus food
V programs, but said the wel
fare commission can cut off
' the aid to dependent children
program if it wants.
'Ambulance Law Killed
. Small communities got rid
rof the 1961 law they said
J "-would wipe out their infor
mal ambulance services.
' The biggest cities and their
i suburbs got a chance to im
"j? prove relation through metro
j?; politan study commissions,
j ' The agencies dealing with
i, banking, corporations, real
, estate, insurance, planning
-"and similar business activi
ties got grouped into a com
merce department for a four
v! year trial period.
' The Sunday shopper kept
his market, after business and
religious groups split on a
measure to limit Sunday sales
and the House killed it.
Boxers got new safety re
quirements. Minority groups got strong
er enforcement of Oregon's
civil rights laws.
Movies were brought under
the law against obscenity.
Mora Ocean Bottom
Harbor and river dwellers
-- public and private - got a
procedure for acquiring "fill"
lands. The state got more
ocean bottom to lease because
the federal government
changed its map.
The law against air and wa
ter pollution was strengthen
ed. The state got new power
to use in acquiring remain
ing parcels of land to make
up the Boardman industrial
site. The Columbia River com
pact didn't get anywhere.
Nor did pleas for bonds to
improve "have - not" high
ways. Lobbyists again escaped a
law to make them register
and declare their expenses.
Even prisoner got some
thing - a state-level public
defender, in line with a U.S.
Supreme Court ruling that
more attorneys must be sup
plied to accused persons who
can't afford them.

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.

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.
