Title : TITLE 46 AGRICULTURE
Chapter : Chapter 567 Experiment Stations
|
|
The Department of Higher Education is authorized to construct at the site
of Oregon State University at Corvallis, such greenhouse facilities as
may be necessary for testing seed potatoes for diseases, experimentation
on insect control methods and materials, research on potato disease
problems and for the development and testing of special varieties and
strains of potatoes. The greenhouse facilities shall be under the control
and management of the experiment station. A separate
account in the General Fund is established for the purposes described in
ORS 567.005. Moneys in the account are continuously appropriated to the
Department of Higher Education for the purposes described in ORS 567.005.
[Amended by 2005 c.755 §48] The cost of operation of
the greenhouse facilities described in ORS 567.005 for testing seed
potatoes of individual growers shall be paid by the growers in such
proportionate amounts as shall be agreed upon as being equitable and just
considering the service rendered. The amount paid shall be deposited in
the account established in ORS 567.010 and used to pay the cost of
operation of such facilities. [Amended by 2005 c.755 §49]During any portion of any year when the facilities or
any part thereof are not being used for the purposes specified in ORS
567.005, they may be used by Oregon State University under the control
and management of the experiment station for such purposes as may be
deemed most advantageous to the university and to Oregon agricultural
development. The State
Board of Higher Education, acting through the Oregon agricultural
experiment station, shall use moneys in the Gorse Control Account
established in ORS 567.030 to defray the expenses of research, including
salaries of investigators, supplies and apparatus, traveling expenses,
and other expenses necessary in conducting the research, and publication
of reports and bulletins upon results of the research for investigating
problems relating to gorse with special reference to determining methods
of controlling gorse. [Amended by 2005 c.755 §50] There is established a Gorse Control
Account in the General Fund for the purposes described in ORS 567.025.
All funds made available for the purposes of ORS 567.025 shall be
credited to the Gorse Control Account and are continuously appropriated
to the State Board of Higher Education for the purposes of ORS 567.025.
[Amended by 2005 c.755 §51](1) The
State Board of Higher Education, acting through the Oregon agricultural
experiment station, shall take the action necessary to eradicate and
control anacharis densa and other algae, including all detrimental weeds
and grasses which are found growing in the waters, lakes and streams of
this state.
(2) In administering this section the board, acting through the
Oregon agricultural experiment station, may cooperate with the United
States Government, and may utilize the services of, and cooperate with
any state or private agency or agencies, and may accept and expend funds
therefrom in carrying out its duties imposed by this section. (1) An
experimental area to serve as a field laboratory of the agricultural
experiment station of Oregon State University is established.
(2) The experimental area shall be located in The Dalles district
of Wasco County for conducting investigations and experimentation in the
problems of producing, fertilizing, harvesting, varietal testing, soil
improving, irrigating, handling, storing, utilizing, controlling diseases
and pests, and on such other problems of horticultural and field crops as
may arise in the area.The

is not intended to affect the existence of the following experiment
stations:
(1) Eastern Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station.
(2) Umatilla Branch Experiment Station.
(3) Medford Branch Experiment Station. [1955 c.770 §3]DRY LANDS EXPERIMENT STATION (1) In
order to investigate and demonstrate the conditions under which useful
plants may be grown on dry, arid or nonirrigated lands of this state and
to determine the kinds of plants best adapted for growth on these lands,
there is established in the manner provided for in ORS 567.205 to
567.240, an experiment station in this state for such purpose.
(2) The experiment station shall be located on such part of dry,
arid or nonirrigated lands of this state as shall be selected by the
State Board of Higher Education acting in cooperation with a
representative of the United States Department of Agriculture. The station shall be under
the management and control of the State Board of Higher Education as a
branch station of Oregon State University. Those
having the experimental farm in charge shall:
(1) Secure seeds, from this and other countries of the world, of
plants that are thought suitable for growth on dry lands, and observe and
record the growth, yield and composition of the plants grown from seeds
so secured.
(2) Investigate and determine the methods of soil treatment by
which the soil water is best conserved.
(3) Investigate the possibilities of grazing on dry lands which
have been seeded to different crops.
(4) Undertake such other experiments and demonstrations as are
deemed advisable, having in view the reclamation of the dry or arid lands
of the state. The State Board of Higher Education shall
cause to be prepared and published full and complete annual reports of
the work undertaken and accomplished by the station, and an edition of
such number of copies as the board shall determine shall be published
annually and distributed free of charge. The cost of such publication and
distribution shall be deemed a part of the general expense of the station. The county court
of the county in which the experimental station may be located may
acquire by purchase or lease sufficient suitable land to be selected by
the State Board of Higher Education, acting in cooperation with a
representative of the United States Department of Agriculture. In case
the land is acquired by purchase, the purchase price shall be paid from
the general funds of the county upon the order of the county court by a
warrant, in the manner in which other claims against the county are paid.
In case the site for the station is acquired by lease, the lease shall be
made in favor of the State of Oregon for such term of years and upon such
conditions as shall be required by the State Board of Higher Education,
and the rent shall be paid out of the county treasury of the county in
which the station is located by warrant drawn upon the county treasury by
an order of the county court.
The county court of the county in which the station is located is
authorized and directed to place upon the land acquired as provided in
ORS 567.230 such buildings and other improvements, including a well, as
may be required by the State Board of Higher Education. The expenses
incurred thereby shall be paid in the manner provided by ORS 567.230 for
payment of the purchase price or rent of the land.In the event the station is
discontinued, the property acquired under ORS 567.230 and 567.235,

placed upon leased land, may be sold by the county court in such manner
and upon such terms and conditions as the county court at a regular term
thereof may determine. The proceeds arising from such sale shall be
returned to the general fund of the county.ASTOR EXPERIMENT STATION In
order to investigate and demonstrate the conditions under which useful
plants, grains and fruits may be grown on submersible lands, reclaimed
swamp lands and logged-off lands in this state and to determine the kinds
of plants, grains and fruits best adapted for growth on such lands, there
is established an agricultural experimental station in Clatsop County in
such place as may be selected by the State Board of Higher Education. The

work shall be conducted through grain and forage crop nurseries and by
such means as the director deems proper.The director of the Oregon experiment stations may conduct in
Umatilla County crop rotation experimental and demonstration work for the
purpose of establishing a profitable cropping system that will reduce the
summer fallow acreage, decrease the present size of the farm unit
necessary to make a living and stabilize land values. The work
provided for in ORS 567.355 and 567.360 shall be conducted only in
counties having agricultural agents or other local agencies, who are
