Trials at the experiment stations and on farms have shown that Austrian winter peas can be successfully used as a silage crop.” SALEM—(UP)—A $3,000,000 state building program would be launched by Oregon under re­ commendations to be made to the 1931 legislature by out-go­ ing Governor Norblad. Unemployed of every county in the state would benefit from the proposed program, which would mean new buildings and improvements to Oregon’s 12 state institutions during a two year period. Hospitals, reform schools, prisons, normal schools, teachers’ colleges and state uni­ versity would be affected by re­ lease of the millions. In order that his program would not be a burden to tax­ payers, Governor Norblad would turn to the state highway com­ mission policy of paying off obli­ gations.
