Wind Injures Basin Grain By WALT JENDRZEJEVT8KI Assistant County Afent Red-eyed farmers on the lighter soils In the south end of the county are ruefully surveying filled up ditches and fence rows and cut off grain after Wednesday's windstorm and considering management prac tices which offer a solution to wind erosion. Considerable discussion of the value of maintaining a high level of organic matter is sandy soils to keep them from blowing could be heard yesterday. Strong winds such as oc curred Wednesday are likely to move any light soil that Is open Light soils, even though well sup plied with organic matter, will prob. ably drift if worked up. In some areas, farmers resort to the prac tice of spreading straw and standing it up on end by running a disc over it ' Better wind erosion control Is ob tained by cover cropping. Good re sults obtained with fall seeded I'tah winter barter Indicate that crop as a substitute for spring seeded grain Many farmers on light soils fall seed rye after potatoes for use as a green manure crop prior to a second year potato crop. In general, tt 1? attempted to leave a minimum amount of land open to spring wind erosion. In spite of occasional wind erosion difficulties, sandr soils here produce some of the highest quality pota toes grown In this area. Humus disappears more rapidly from sandy soils than from heavier soils. More regular return of or ganic matter Is required.

On that point he and Dewey have clashed and a lace-to-face debate between the two Is on the griddle In Portland. Dewey objects to laws against communism, declaring that communists should be kept In the open, not run underground. After the courthouse talk, Stassen will go to the Winema for a ban- quet and another talk at about 7:45 p. m. He and his party will stay at the Winema and will leave Klamath Falls Saturday morning.
