His new contract calls for his being in Washington no later than June 1, 1967. Works With Colorado Engineers House was born in Kansas, edu cated in Colorado and worked with the Colorado State Engineers five years following graduation from college in 1934. In 1939 he went to the Yakima, Wash., irri gation project (composed of sev eral independent districts) for the Bureau of Reclamation. He was transferred here in 1947 as assistant manager and became manager in 1949. He has continued in the same capacity since that time, although the Bureau of Reclamation turned the management over to water users in 1952. Cites Personnel Decrease House stated that the local pro ject could not grow in size, due to water limitations, but that there had been a big change since he 'became manager. He said these, largely, were in the nature of improvements that had been made to insure increased delivery of water when needed. He also cited a decrease in personnel due to more efficient machinery plac ed in use. House served on the city coun cil continuously from 1952 to 1964 and was mayor during 1957- 58. He has been very active in the Masonic lodge and held many offices in reclamation capacities at various levels. The family, along with House, say they will leave Nyssa with mixed emotions.

Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon State university extension agri cultural economist, said cash sales brought in $476 million last year, 10 percent above 1964. while pro duction costs were $404 million, topping the previous year by three percent. Oregon’s total net farm income was estimated at $141 million in 1965, which was 40 percent above the record low in 1964, but still below the record high year of 1951. Mrs. Horrell noted that net farm income in Oregon was first recorded in 1949. Oregon ranked 32nd among the mainland states in receipts from sales of farm products, the exact spot it held in 1964. Cattle and calves, as usual, topped the list of commodities by a wide margin. Dairy products ranked second; wheat, third; potatoes, fourth; and greenhouse and nursery products, fifth. While cash farm income has been climbing, according to Mrs. Horrell, farms have been getting bigger in size and fewer in num ber. Oregon lost 1006 farms from 1964 to 1965 and another 1500 in 1965 and the first half of 1966.
