The soil should be dry and have a minimum temperature of 55 degrees F. to give the best re- suits. ;i ' , , , . ...Thl' liiethpil of; application In cludes the leveling oft the sur face of the soil about the base of (he tree but in such a manner as ,.lo avoid disturbing the soil oeipw the. surface. , All large masses of gun about the base of the trunk should be removed and a . few , shovels of dirt placed about the trunk; raising ,the soil level nlKiut 1i Inches above the ground level. The chemical,, Is Ihe spread around on the mound n,nd thoroughly covered, the sur face of the, mound being smooth ed down. This prevents the gas from Ihe PZ escaping inlo Ihe open all'. The umpunt or PZ lo be used depends on the age of the tree. Three-fourths to one ounce Is sufficient for an ordin ary tree six years of age and old er. lor trees -lour to live venrs old three-fourths ounce, and for trees one to three years old one- nan ounce is used. A measure holding exactly the required amount Is convenient and a safe guard in preventing injury to (ho trees. Trees four years of age or older have shown no III effecls from the treatment. Younger trees seldom show any Injury when the mnipids around Ihe tree Hie torn down four to six weeks- after the application Is made. II Is necessary on older trees than four years lo tear down the mounds unless prolonged damp weather follows immediately afl er application. Another Chemical Cited Another preparation for the control of peach and prune root borers receiving wnslderablo publicity during recent months hylene dlchlorlde emulsion. This chemical, however, has been reported causing some damage to young peach and prune trees under our or five years of age, but apparently Is .not Injurious lo older trees. Any peach or prune grower who is unable lo treat his trees with PZ during the period recommended will find lhat ethylene dlchlorlde emulsion can be used alter the wet weather has started and has been used successfully even early In the spring berore the adult slage of tin; peach and prune, root borer emerges during the slimmer. Growers are cautioned. however, that (he emulsion should not be. Used on young trees damage lias been reported from various sections In Oregon when used on young peach or prune trees.

Abindbns One Station Here "Listen to Corn Grow" In Nebraska's Belt AP feature Service OMAHA, Neb.- "My corn is growing so. fast you can hear it," corn belt farmers often boast. . , It took Frank E. Shopen, a frankly skeptical radio engi neer, lo give pseudo-scientific authenticity to the comment. Willing lo be shown, he moved a radio set capable of amplifying sound 2,500 times into a field where hyblrd corn was shooting up at the rate of almost six Inches a day. . He set a microphone at the base of a stalk. He listened. Miss Jackie MacBride, an eye witness to the experiment, lis tened. Farmer V. II. Wood ward listened. Through the earphones came ii faint, scarcely audible "shshshshshsh." , Probably tube noise, com mented Shopen, still uncon vinced., ...... He moved Hie microphone away from Ihe stalk.

Roseburg Ranks High On List Of Aluminum Givers Hoseburg was second only to Medford-Ashland in the per capi ta delivery of scrap aluminum under the defense metal drive, according to word received from slate headquarters. Medrord anil Ashland combin ed to deliver S.!X)j pounds of aluminum, the greatest tonnage for any county outside of Mult nomah, which had .'!S,0.'lfl pounds. The Medford delivery amounted to .7!) of a pound per capita. Hoseburg with 3,(KI5 pounds, had .lili of a pound per capita. total tonnage and per capita Oregon farmers are already re sponding to the call of the gov ernment to Increase the produc tion of certain foods needed in the defense program, according tq a progress report submitted to tne secretary .of agriculture by the newly-created U, S. D. A. de fense, board. This report, com plied by the extension service at the request of Robert B. Taylor, cnairman ot tne state AAA com mittee and chairman of the new board, shows Increases in pro duction ot nearly all the defense foods, Including , dairy, 'poultry and pork products and certain canning vegetables. Total milk production in Ore gon is up 8 per cent so far this year, though Increased consump tion of fluid milk has kept the oufput of manufactured dairy products down somewhat. Cheese production, particularly urged by the government, is up sharply, nui paruy at tne expense ot but ter and condensed milk output. The present price ratio be tween dairy feeds and butterfat is favorable to liberal grain feed ing in most areas of the state, the report shows. A new extension bulletin will be available soon on feeding and managemenl bv the dairy Industry In relation to the food for defense program. Increased acreages of canning tomatoes and corn are noted in the report and marked progress is reported in the production of green peas and green beans for processing. Oregon's total acre age of commercial truck croiis for processing is given at 39,710 acres In 19-11, compared with 35, 470 acres In 1910. Oregon will have from 5 to 10 per cent more laying hens this fall than . last. With emphasis placed on better methods of feed ing, management and housing, poultrymen of this state are ap parently well on their way to supplying their share of the needed increase In egg produc tion, The principal problems list ed are scarcity and high cost of certain feed concentrates and the shortage of good farm labor. Increased pork production is hampered by higher cost of feed grains. A wheat feeding program sponsored by the experiment sta tlon and extension service lias re sulted in considerable progress in this respect, particularly In areas where pasture is also avail able.
