Thursday, January 7, 1971 The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon OSU Report Examines Agriculture In 1980 What will agriculture in Ore gon be like in 1980? •‘There will likely be fewer farmers, each receiving a lar ger gross income,” said Ro bert O. Coppedge, research as sociate in agricultural eco nomics at Oregon State Uni versity. For a look ahead, the agri cultural economist used pro jections based on agricultural production through 1969. Ore gon ranks first in the nation in producing snap beans, ryegrass seed and sweet cherries and se cond in pears and strawberries. “Rural economics will have fewer people on which the bur den of supporting community services will fall in 1980,” said Coppedge. “There will be relatively fe wer rural school children and Scenic Rivers Head Named taxpaying parents. Bankers, finance agencies, retail mer chants and machinery dealers will have to consider increased farm requirements as well as increased receipts and fewer farms, farmers and people.” Fruits, nuts and berries will be the leading crop with grains and vegetables second and third. “Receipts from the sale of cattle and calves will continue to dominate the livestock sector, accounting for more than half the receipts,” Coppedge said. “The future of Oregon’s agri culture lies in its diversity and prominence in national and world commodity markets.” A copy of the report can be obtained by writing Coppedge 219 Extension Hall, OSU, and asking for Agricultural Ex periment Station Special Re- port 313.

A seepage drain at the upper embankment of Lake Lo well was chosen because it is relatively unpolluted at its or- gin. Working since October to master techniques of sampling, the team has been making bi weekly tests to establish the contents of the water during the winter months. They sample for the following: oxygen count; aci dity and alkalinity; dissolved phosphate; temperatdYe; carbon dioxide; and biological oxygen demand which measures the oxygen demand of organic mate rial decaying in the water.

PUStìC BOX at the site immediately, but the biological oxygen demand test requires five days. Weekly samplings will be made through the summer months. The ultimate goal of the pro ject, aside from the hoped for writing of a paper stating con clusions, is to measure the fluc tuation levels of the pollution of the water which flows from the upper embankment source to Wilson Drain, Indian Creek, the Boise River and then to the Snake River. A budget of $500 has been assigned the project for the pur chase of measuring apparatus and aerial photographs to de termine which fields affect and are affected by the irrigation water. The cooperation of growers will be sought to learn about farming practices -- what and how much fertilizers and insecticides are used, schedules for application, and other matter of importance to water quality. This project is typical of the kinds of research assisted by the Regional Studies Center at the College of Idaho, whose main purpose is to encourage environmental studies within the Snake River region. “We must have much more knowledge if we are to adequately plan for the future, and meet the eco logical crisis,” says Mrs. Par sons. “A study such as this is a small step towards solution of environmental problems, and away from continuing degrada tion of our surroundings.” Page Nine HARD COVER CLASSIC 47' 87' AU GAMES 1/2 PRICE BOOKS 47' REG. 89« PLAYTEX BABY PANTY 1/3 OFF HAI KARATE COLOGNE 1/3 OFF NYLONS 1/2 PRICE CHRISTMAS CANDY 1/2 PRICE PLAYTEX CEPACOL 1 qt. 2 oz. , FAMILY SIZE 2 BOTTLES OF 100 CHERACOL PAIR 133 » C REG. $2.25 > f WATER LILY PORE LOTION I & WASHING GRAINS J IDEAL FOR ACNE PROBLEMS REG. $5.50 C^77 1 * J11 f M LARGE PT.
