Proposed Changes
In AAA Details
Have War Basis
Comparatively few changes In
, the 1943 AAA program are sought
- In recommendations proposed by
jjuu urcgon larmer committee
men and reviewed this week by
- the state AAA committee, R. B.
" Taylor of Adams, state AAA
chairman, announces.
The state recommendations,
.. based on action of the state AAA
conference and the results of
questionnaires filled out by coun
ty and community committeemen
- last month, demonstrate that the
present farm program is adapt
able to wartime as well as peace
time adjustments, Taylor said.
The changes sought, mostly de
signed to give greater assistance
to farmers in meeting food for
I freedom production goals, place
i emphasis on pasture improve-
ment, weed and rodent control,
i and simple conservation methods
J of farming needed to keep soils In
i condition for top production for
the duration of the war.
One proposed change would en
courage growers to utilize le
gume straw left on the land af
ter seed crops are harvested, by
discouraging burning of such crop
residues. High in plant food con
tent, legume straw has become
more Important for Its fertilizer
value since nitrates have become
scarce, Taylor said.
Allotment Plan Retained.
Malnteance of the present al
lotment system for surplus crops
and continuance of the provision
requiring that 20 per cent of a
farm's cropland be devoted to soil
conserving uses were also asked.
Use of lime has developed to
the point where existing lime
plants in the state cannot keep
up with the demand, and are now
10,000 tons behind on orders from
farmers, the, state committee
learned. Continuance of the con
servation matcrluls . program,
which provides for distribution ol
lime and phosphate in lieu of
AAA payments .earned, was rec
ommended for its contribution to
pasture Improvement and In
creased milk production.
. Adoption of a modified "honor
system" whereby farmers would
report their own compliance with
the. nrncram and ncrformance of
practices was also recommended
by the committeemen.
Soil Survey Again
Slated in Douglas
Field work on soil surveys in
the Deschutes and Douglas coun
ty areas will bo resumed this sum
mer under Joint federal and state
auspiufs, according to word re

Burning Permit
Period Extended
SALEM, Ore, May 18. I Spe
cial.) Controlled burning under
permit will be allowed up to and
including May 31 within the de
fense area of the slate, according
to authorization received today by
State Forester N. S. Rogers from
Col. J. B. Conniy, IX army corps,
Fort Lewis. The area involved in
cludes western Oregon and that
part of eastern Oregon lying west
of the Southern Pacific railway.
This new ordc
cancels the for
mer army notification that all
burning was to cease on May 14.
"There will be strict enforce
ment of the permit require
ments." stated the forester, "and
those desiring to burn should con
tact the local wardens. Since the
object of tliis order is to prevent
a smoke nuisance subsequent' to j
June t mat might, interfere with I
army maneuvers ami air activities
it Is essential that the binning be
completed by the end of the
month."
Mr. lingers also stateil that this
older referred only to the defense
area ot the state and that other
regions wei-e not effected. Else
where, he said, burning activities
can ho curried out subsequent to
the deadline date but (M-rmlts

Dehydrated Apple
Nuggets Bought
For Army's Diet
FORT LEWIS, May 18. (AP)
Army officers reported the
army now was buying dehydrated
apple nuggets and that the quar
termaster corps headquarters in
Washington, D. C, had awarded
contracts for the purchase of 1,-
uuu.uuu pounds.
The apple is the only dehy
drated truit, except the lemon,
which currently is being purchas
ed for troops, officers said. The
advantage of dehydrated apples
over the dried kind is that their
flavor is superior and they keep
uActfiJuuudiiy wen.
Apple nuggets look like pop
corn and when eaten "straight"
have a delicious, tart flavor. The
nuggets also taste good when
mixed with cereals in the place
of fresh canned fruits. The -nuggets
make excellent apple sauce
and apple pie and can be used
practically every way us a substi
tute for canned apples, officers
said.
The nuggets are made from the
"extra good" grade of apples.
Ideal for the purpose, the army
said, were varieties like the Rome
Beauty, Baldwin and Stayman
Winesap.
Officers said there also was a
substantial saving in weight. De
hydrated apples contain only
three to five per cent moisture or
less, compared with 17 to 26 per
cent for the dried.
The nuggets have been thor
oughly tested in bakers and cooks
schools throughout the nation,
the army said.
Chicken Disease
Control Outlined
A late practical guide to the
control of coccidiosis in chickens
has just been issued by the agri-
cultural, experiment station at
O. S. & as station bulletin 403.
The Oregon station has for many
years been a center of important
resoarcn on this most widesnread
of all parasitic diseases of chick
ens. The work, begun by the late
ur, w. 1. Johnson, Is now being
carried on bv Dn E. M. Dickin
son, author of the new bulletin.
The idea that it would be do-
slrable to have chickens raised
absolutely free from coccidia in
fection is rejected in this bulletin.
which points out that protection
or resistance against the parasite
develops following a limited in-
tection. 'fhe amount of infection
necessary to produce protection
varies among the seven different
species of coccidia parasites.
Preliminary trials on methods
of artificially immunizing chick
ens against the more common
species are still in progress at the
station. A system of management
and sanitation, based on knowl
edge of the parasite, is recom
mended by Dr. Dickinson as the
most practical control known at
this time.
Broccoli Leads Its
Kind in Nutrition
Though cauliflower is one of
the most popular of vegetables, it
is not among the most nutritious
because the edible' portion is
white, and white vegetables lack
vitamins. It is also considered
fairly difficult for the amateur to
grow.
Broccoli, on the other hand, is
an ideal home garden vegetable,
tastes like cauliflower, and is
green, and among the richest in
vitamins. It can be grown easily
from seed sown in the open
ground, and yields a continuous
harvest from midsummer until
killing frosts arrive.
Broccoli, an old-time vegetable
in one form, has become pnpiilur
through the introduction of a
green branching type, the Italian
green sprouting.
Us thick stems bear dense
heads of green flower buds. Un
like the cauliflower, these heads
are of perfect flowers and not de
generate forms such as the
curd of the white tvpos. If the
Italian broccoli stands" too long in I
me market or m the garden the
buds begin to oiien into yellow
musiarn-iiKc llowers.
The thick stems near the lower
heads are also edible and of as
tine a flavor as the heads of
buds. The leaves, however, are
stronger in flavor and while os- I
teemed by foreign cooks do not I
appeal lo the American taste !
which takes only to the thick ton- !
fler stems and flower heads.
Grow Like Cabbage
The vegetable is easily grown
In the home garden, requiring on
ly the same treatment as cab-;
bage. There is no necessity for i
tying up leaves as In cauliflower i
and the stalk bears a main head
and when cut develops a number
of side branches w ith edible !
heads. It is delicious served steam-1
ed or boiled with Hollandaise
sauce or merely with a dressing
of melted butter.
It should not be overcooked,
but requires a little longer than
cauliflower or cabbage because of
the solidity of the stems.
Hich soil and good cultivation
are its sole needs. The plants may
be set a foot to 18 inches apart in
the garden with rows spaced
about two feet apart. Apply plant
food at the rate of a teaspoonful
to the plant.
Tin Lack Calls

Tin can manufacturers, it was
disclosed, for some time have
been experimenting with plastics
as a substitute for the metal con
tainer, but no satisfactory sub
stitute has been fou"d so far. The
plastics, It was said, cither lack
sufficient pliability, cannot stand
heat or pressure, or produce un
desirable odors or flavors in the

restrictions which prohibit, the

These are items which need not

Molasses Substitute
For Sprays Developed
Cherry growers will have diffi
culty this year obtaining molasses
to be used in the conventional
type of particular spray used to
control the cherry fruit fly, points
out S. C. Jones, associate ento
mologist ot the O. S. C experi
ment station. Fortunately, how
ever experiments have recently
been ca ricd out with substitute
sprays, some of which have been
found equally, if not more effec
tive if applied properly.
One substitute spray suggested
is composed of lead arsenate, 2i
pounds to 100 gidlons of water,
to which is added a commercial
spreader, or a home-made spread
er consisting of two quarts of
skim milk unci four ounces hy
drated lime.
