I Th Newt-Rtview, Roteburf, Or. Men., Auf. 29, j'FARM and GARDEN NEWSajll Facts Of Filbert 'Blight," Advise On Control Methods Given In O.S.C. Bulletin More than 30 years of expert mental work with filbert "blight' li "wrapped up" in a new 70-page technical bulletin of the O.S.C. experiment nation, Filbert ac teriosis." This ii the only serious disease of filberts in Oregon and Washington, but it has given con tinuoua trouble since it was dis covered by Dr. H. P. Barss of the experiment station in 1915. The new technical bulletin com bines Information from earlier progress reports vith the more exhaustive undines made In more recent yean by the auth ors, Dr. Paul W. Miller, USDA plant pathologist; Dr. W. B. Bol len and J. E. Simmons of the bacteriology department. The organism causing the so- caued uioert blight is usually nrougnt into tne orchard on in fected nursery slock, the authors report In a condensed summary of facta concerning .he disease which follows the detailed scien tific discussion. Rainfall and the use of pruning ioois wunout disinfecting them are the two main causes of spreading it from tree to tree and from one part of a tree 10 another. Insects have apparent ly no role In its spread.

In older orchards the only prac tical method of control was found to consist of spraying or dusting with p.otectlve materials, pref erably home-made bordeaux mixture. This can usually be ao nlled with a filbert moth spray in one application, in late sum mer before fall rains begin, the authors state. In some exceptionally wet sea sons, however, three applications in late summer, late fall and ear ly spring have been found neces sary to get adequate control. unfortunately t h e principal commercial varieties in the northwest are all susceptible to tne disease.

Prune Harvest Wage Scale Set By Growers Here A wage scale for harvesting and drying of this year's prune crop waa ei Dy local growers last Wednesday at a meeting in Roseburg. A rate of 10 cents a bushel box waa aet for picking with a 2 12 cent bonus for picK ers staying through the harvest ing season. Common labor In orchards and dryers waa set 85 cents per hour and skilled labor at $1 per hour. Maximum charges for drying 2 1-2 cents for French type prunes and three cents for Italian prunes. Growers were In agreement that they could not pay last year'a wage rates for harvesting operations owing to lower prices and unstable market conditions. The established rates were felt to be fair to both workers and growers under existing condi tions. Buyers of dried prune have not announced prices but have Indicated they were interested only in the large sized prunes. Canneries are snowing little in terest In local Italian prunes and prices offered are well below that paid last season. The local Italian prune crop is the largest in several vears and the crop In the Pacific North west is larger than average. Ex treme dry weather throughout the growing season and the heavy crop Is expected to result In a heavy percentage of small sizes.

Some of these salesmen are new to the territory, and should be excused for not under standing our bum sense of humor. For their benefit, and not for our customers and prosective customers, we mention that when they call UMPQUA i LEDS "BUM FEED" it's a dif ferent brand of humor than when we call k the same thing. We'd like for them to come in and tell us how they KNOW we "can't sell good feed at our price." They tell you that because we are a small town, hick outfit, that we can't buy this and thHt and some other thing. We should love to remind them that the country is full of salesmen who are selling everything that their companies have ever heard of. Any small miller can buy any thing he wants these days. In fact, he needs sales resistance to keep from buying too much. Besides, we're not such a dinkv outfit, at that. We aold close In a million dollar worth of stuff last year!

Now, Just to show these sales men, who are so careless with their facts, because they are new to our territory, we will once more make our statement of so many years. OUR CUSTOMERS MAY COME IN AT ANY TIME AND READ OUR FORMULAS. THEN GO OUT AND WATCH THEM BEING MIXED. We are proud of what goes into our BUM FEED. Our customer don't have to take the word of some glib salesman. We'll tell you exactly what, and how much goes into UMPQUA FEEDS. And again, we remind EVERYBODY that YOU CAN PAY MORE. BUT YOU CANT BUY BETTER FEEDS. On That Bum Feed. Salesmen skip this one. Mrs. Bes Blakely on Idleyld Route has a bunch of 35 Bard Rock pullet about six months old.

By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Aug. 29 (JPl Price are going up on a number of raw material and products that enter into every day living. In some cages the advances are likely to be short-lived. In others they are seasonal. But some are likely to stick long enough to show up in the monthly bills for some time to come. Food store will reflect later the price hike at sources that Began mis week In sugar, cof fee, lettuce, margarine and sar dines. Advancing milk price are lorecast In some milksheds. It may take a little longer for you 'o reel the week s tump in the prices of Douglas fir and soutnern pine lumber. But if thev stick, they'll show up in housing cosis. If you are considering what it will cost to heat your home this winter, you may note that the price of fuel oil has started up already, that coal costs more. There are even rumblings and warnings that a severe winter might cause temporary shortages in some spots. The price of ethyl anti-knock fuel is set to advance October ?, which may or may not affect your gasoline bills later. lhe price of silver has advanc ed sleadily this week. This is the season when the silver flatware makers buy the metal for proc essing in expectation of the Chrfstmas trade. Brass and bronze ingota have Just gone up In price. This hike reflects earlier price advances in basic non-ferrous metals. The producers of lead, zinc and cop per think they touched bottom on the prices of their metals in June, and say that the price advances since should hold. Their products are used in almost every durable appliance you buy. Steel scrap prices, weak for months, have started climbing back up again about $2 a ton In recent days. Also, freight rates on the rail roads are going up, adding that much more to the costs of getting not only steel but almost all oth er commodities. Lull or Reversal? Against all these price ad vances, of course, can be array ed a list of price reductions re cently. The price trail is no one way street. Clothing prices have been cut, here and there. Meat and other food items are expect ed to ease in price this fall. And there is a large and thoughtful sector of economic ob- servers who think the recent slowing down in price declines and the recent upswing in many commodities should be called a lull rather than a reversal of a trend. These are the ones who ne lleve that what has been called the mildest postwar deflation in history is really an Indian sum mer, a false and deceptive res pite before the real winter of price drops sets in. Wider Water Use On Farms Means More Stock Profits, Better Health For Family Water is chean. hut h It ! handled on the farm can make considerable difference In the net profit returned to the farmer, say M. r:. Hnhr n q r- sion agricultural engineer. lows watered two or three times a dav. for exnmnle. ririnir about 40 percent more water than those COW U.-ti-wt Km am.. Likewise, cows having water available at all times produce at least 10 percent more milk and butterfat than those with limited water available. In pointing out that Oregon farms are 92 percent electrified, Huber savs that M nercent of ih state's farms are equipped with electric water systems. That fig ure is exceeoeri on v hv JUou Tor. sey where 69 percent of the farms have electric water svtom a good many additional Oregon arms nave water supplied through gravitv system from springs and reservoirs. fcteers and hogs will fatten more auicklv and with foH when water is readily available. In states with wide vearlv tpm. perature ranges, egg production icsis nave snown nat hens lay at least 19 percent more eggs when warmed i-iinninir u-ntur ie provided during the cold winter months. Probably the greatest value from running water, and some thing that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, is increased sanitation and better health for the farm family.
