To determine future rates of con­
tributions by employers to the state
unemployment compensation fund,
the legislature amended the act to
provide for an interim experience
rating council to report to the com­
mission not later than December 31,
1940.
The council is to be appointed by
the governor and will include two
representatives of employers, two
representatives of workers, two of
the public and the chairman of the
unemployment compensation com-
mission. The council will be charg-
ed with investigation and study
b. sed upon actual experience dur­
ing 1938, 1939 and 1940, wtith a
view to establishing an experience
rating system which will equitably
rate the unemployment risk and fix
the contribution to the fund of eac*
employer subject to the act.
The law provides the council shall
take into consideration the degree
of unemployment hazard, fluctua­
tions in payroll indices, conroensable
separations from employment and
experiehce in the payment - f bene­
fits in determining a suitable meas­
urement for ratins employers.
The law as amended retains the
principle of rewrrd in contribution
adjustments for stabilization of em­
ployment. It switches to the full
pooled fund from the individual re
serve, plus partial pooled f„.id, and
g'ves employers 100 per cent credit
for all contributions, whereas the
law formerly permitted only 81
per cent credit, through operation
of the provision that one-half of
one per cent must be credited to
the partial pool.
The new provisions also provide
that employer accounts shall not be
charged for benefits in cases where
work cessation is due to an act of
God, catastrophe or operation of
A survey of vetch seed growing
districts from Eureka, Cal., to the
Canadian line is being made under
the direction of L. P. Lockwood,
federal entomologist at Forest Grove,
to determine, if possible, the limits
of infestation of the hairy vetch
weevil.
If it is found that the weevil is
now confined to a relatively small
area such as two or three counties,
effort will be made to have that
region included in a control area
where all seed would have to <»e
fumigated before being moved out,
according to G. R. Hyslop, head of
the plant industries division at Ore­
gon State college.
The weevil was discovered in the
north end of the Willamette valley
near the close of the last shipping
season. The industry is faced wit.>
the task of a localized, intensive
control program or else a general
requirement that all hairy vetch
seed be fumigated before being
shipped out of the state.
Meanwhile the department of en-
tomology at the college is consider­
ing experiments on fumigation of
seed for the vetch weevil and on I
dusting measures for the control
of the weevil in the infested areas

are breaking some records of their
own in the way of installing farm
irrigation systems, reports Art King,
extension specialist in soils and ir­
rigation at Oregon State college.
King’s office has been literally
swamped with requests for assist­
ante in establishing supplemental
irrigation systems. Everett Davis,
extension specialist in agricultural
engineering, has been called on to
help with the work and four or five
irrigation equipment companies have
field men working day and night
without being able to keep up with
al! demands.
King estimates that between 400
and 500 farmers will irrigate this
year for the first time and that
approximately 10,000 acres will be
added to some 25,000 in western
Oregon already under irrigation. A
series of five irrigation equipment
meetings held early in April through­
out the W.llamette valley were at­
tended by 813 farmers. Some farm­
ers who have not been able to in­
stall their own equipment have bor­
rowed from others in order to save
crops threatened by the continued
drouth.
Be sure that al! mechanical parts of your car are in
perfect condition before you g'o on your vacation. En­
joy every minute of your trip by replacing all worn
parts before you start.
