J.-' TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1941. Loss of Export Outlets Blow to Oregon Producers CORVALLIS, Aug. 25.AP Oregon's agriculture has suf fered severe losses through the j almost total elimination of.ex-j port outlets for some of Its prill , elpal crops, even though grow- ors have reduced the acreage of cxporMype icrops. , the Oregon state fcuvi' use; planning commit tee announced today.' Wheat, prunes, apples and pears are the principal export ' crons of this state. During the ' past decade wheat acreage has been reduced approximately 2-1 tier cent, prunes, U6 per cent, ap "lcs 55 per cent, and pears 10 per cent. This means that Oregon's : export crops, which formerly ac counted for approximately 30 per cent of the total farm acreage, now occupy only approximately 20 per cent. ; There remain approximately 800,000 acres of wheat, 41,400 acres of prunes, 14,100 acres of apples, and lfl.000 acres of pears. Under normal conditions, approxi mately one tlilrd of the produc tion of this total acreage would go to foreign markets, with two thirds used In the United States. A number of the committee's recommendations for 1942 con-, corning wheat have already been put Into effect by the AAA, in cluding close correlation of acre age reduction. with soil conserva tion, Increase In loan values to nearer parity, and reduction of acreage allotment for 1042 to the minimum provided by law. Num erous other recommendations were made looking to the fu ture. Further reduction In apple acreage through the elimination of varieties not now in demand is recommended, while change in pear acreage might be limited to removal of diseased trees. Imme diate and drastic Improvement in prune quality is necessary to save the prune industry, the commit tee reported.

M. llianill of Oregon Slate college to represent it at Hie next meeting of the nallonal committee. Production Increased The committee reported that the increase of dairv production in Oregon over liHO is about 10 j per cent, due to increase in price i ol hiitlertat. It also reported I about a JO per cent Increase In condensed milk for the first six months ol 111 1 1 due lo conversion from liuller plants.

It urged Ihe government, In d e I e r m i n i n g prices to tx' paid under Hie lend lease program, to give proper evaluation to established loan value of wheat and said dairy farmers can hardly bo expected lo absorb a higher level of lord costs w i t h o u I conin'iis.drd prices.

I'or Ihe protection of late harvest areas the time limit will be eith er by September I or 12 days alt er the Hist seed is delivered lo the cleaning plant, whichever is Inter. While independent seed dealers are ollerlng prices equal or bet tor than the government mini mum price, producers should keep In mind that tne minimum price established by the government for certain seeds has had a sta bilizing eftect upon Ihe market price. AAA olticials have Indi cated it is essential that a rea sonable quantity of vetch and Austrian winter field peas be se cured under government pur chase if the seed purchase pro gram is to be coin iniieil. Com mitments to farmers in the south ern states for winter legume seed arc greater than offerings by producers lo dale under the seed purchase program. ' New Plan for Judging Dairy Carrie Proposed A method tor judging dairy cat tle by classilicalion and produc tion rather than by a hard and last process ol scoring is describ ed and commented upon by H. P. Kwalt and linger W. Morse of Oregon State college, in a new extension circular .No. 37-1. The authors believe that Ihe classifi cation system has merit, particu larly in I II club, KKA, special breed shows, and county fairs. Coder the classification system il Is also iKisslhle lo require that all animals of three years old or more have certain minimum pro duction records which will give this practical phase due recogni tion in the placing. The circular may be obtained free from any county extension oftice. Prune Labor Wages, Drier price, Agreed On ' I'OIUiST OUtiVE. Aug. 21. ' AP ..

E. Stephenson, soil scientists at the O. S. C. experi ment station, in a new station cir cular No. 113, emitted "Humus for Oregon Soils." Humus or organic matter is what keeps soils physically fit. Any waste products of the farm, or city lot for that matter, such as straw, weeds, stalks, stubble, vines, canes, or leaves, all are valuable sources of humus and, when returned to Ihe soil, help lo prevent Ms becoming hard and baked. Where such materials are deficient in nitrogen I heir value is increased and their de composition hastened by tho ad dition of nitrogen fertilizer. Estimates are that one year of legume sod will restore about as much huinus as is lost with one year of cultivated row crops. Tho upper three feet of good soil may contain more than 200 tons per acre of organic mailer, ac cumulated Ihrougli thousands of years, which is lost under culti vation at the rale of about 750 pounds per acre per year. Control of Peach Blight Advised Prior lo the first rail rains is Ihe best time to secure control of peach blight, which kills the buds anil causes canker on the twigs during the fall and winter months, and spots the fruit, twigs and leaves during the growing season. Bordeaux 4-I-50, applied in the lale summer before Ihe fall rains, is effective protection against tall and winter attacks of bud and twig blight. Peach blight is a lungus disease and infects buds and twigs with the moisutre from the first fall rains. The disease is characterized by blighting of the buds and dying back of the new shoots produced during Ihe current season. In western Oregon tho disease is the most serious disease of peach I i ces, and w hen severe may kill the trees to such an extent that a profitable crop is iniMssiblc the following season. A high quality bordeaux spray j should be used. Host results are i secured from a home made bor-' draux spray through the use of 1 blueslone and quicklime. Com plete directions for making a home-made bordeaux spray may be secured in bulletin form by calling at the county agent's of fice or by w riting lor a copy. j Doerner's Winery at j Melrose Being Enlarged r.nlai'genient of the Doerner winery in .Melrose is under way wilh the construction of two new concrete buildings and two large iiincreie tanks tor use in wine making.

GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff. Writer Today the egg Is' rated as one of the "protective foods." Re search has shown that Us fragile shell covers a combination of many of the nutrients necessary to safeguard the health of hu man beings, reports Mrs. Frances Foley Gannon of the New York department of markets. The yolk Is rich in mineral matter and an important source of iron in the diet. The fat in egg yolk contains substances which stimulate growth. Therefore, egg yolk Is especially valuable In the diet of children. Egg white is rich n sulphur shown by the readi ness with which silver is dark ened in its presence. In the yolk is found an abundance of vitamin fat soluble A, essential for growth, and water soluble B, rallied for its preventive and curative properties as well as for oody development. Eggs also carry large quantities of vitamin D, which prevents rickets In the growing child. Recent tests show that eggs possess substantial amounts of the recently discov ered fertility vitamin known as vitamin E. There is no single known food product which con tains vitamins in greater variety or in greater and more valuable amounts than the egg. Nourishing Value High Eggs cooked below the boiling point of water are more easily and quickly digested than are boiled eggs. Compared with oth er foods, eggs are quickly and easily digested. Several nutrition workers have found that cooked egg white is easier to digest, and, therefore, more nourishing than raw egg white. Yolk of egg, however, seems to be equally digestible and nourish ing, either cooked or raw. Eggs are among the first foodi to be fed to little children be cause they are so rich in iron and because the proteins, fats and mineral substances are espe cially well suited to building body tissues. Contents Protective Eggs are classed as one of I ho protective foods rich in phos phorous, iron and calcium in or ganic combination. Tho iron com pound forms the material from which the hemoglobin of red cor puscles is made. On account of this richness in iron, the yolk is lis Important as milk, cereals and vegetables in the growing child's diet. The egg white contains pro tein or tissue building substance in the form of albumin. This con tains common salt, potassium salts and sulphur, all necessary to perfect health. Now's Time For Filbert Spraying Filbert growers troubled with filbert blight may effectively control the disease by spraying with a 4-2-50 bordeaux previous to the first fall rains. It is re commended that a good wetting agent should he used with the spray lo facilitate the wetting of the buds in the axils of the leaves. Late August or early Sep tember before the first rains is the best time to apply bordeaux, spray for control. In certain seasons characteriz ed by an abnormal amount of rain during the fall and winter, supplementary applications made late in the fall when the leaves are about three-fourths off the trees and again in early spring when the leaf buds are opening FALL TERM OPENS Tuesday, September 2 New times call for new ways and Eugene Business College is recognized as a school that keeps abreast of the times.
