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.

Dairy Group Talks
Production to Fill
Lend-Lease Needs
Any increase In production of
milk In Oregon to provide an In
creased volume of cheese, evaH
rated and powdered milk under
the lend-lease program must be
brought about through an exten
sion of the feeding period
through the lale summer and
winter months, especially along
the coast when) pasturage is the
normal basis of production. This
Is the conclusion voiced in a reso
lution adopted by the dairy ad-
vlsory Cmnmitloo of the state .1.
partnionl - of .agriculture al a re-
cent meeting
Contingent upon a satisfactory
price for these commodities for a
definite period, producers can
definitely plan u feeding pro
grain which should result in In
creasing production along these
lines from 10 lo 15 per cent dur
ing the winter of 1IM1 -2.
'ITio committee feels that nor
mal consumption of dairy prod
ucts should be maintained, and at
the same lime production In
creased as lung as necessary lo
meet the demands of Ihe iend
lease program for export of prin
cipal dairy products.
'1 his dairy committee will rep
resent Oregon on the National
Hulled Dairy committee, and
named A. W. Metger, chief of
the dairy division of Ihe stale do
partmcnt of agriculltiro and
Prof. I'. 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 pointed out that Ihe areas in
Oregon now equipped for manu
facture of Ihe I hive principal
dairy commodities are limited in
extent and Hint there is little op
portunity apparent for increase
ill production of these Ihrougli
diversion ol the raw material
from factories now engaged in
their manufacture. 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

Peas, Vetch, Grass
Safe Limit Cited
Douglas county producers of
Austrian winter Held peas, com
mon vetch, hairy vetch and Ital
ian ryegrass who desire to sell
seed to the government under Ihe
IIM1 seed purchase program,
have only mil il September I in
which to sell or file nolice of in-
tenlion lo sell with his seed
cleaner or with the county agri
cultural conservation oftice. 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.

Soil Fertility
Upkeep is Stressed
"Don't burn anything Ihat can
be converted into humus," is a ba
sic rule for maintaining the fer
tility of Oregon soils, according
to Dr. It. 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

Eggs Rate High as
"Protective Food"
And For Nutrition
By MRS. 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
