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 young orchards up to four
years old control methods in
clude proved practices all the

In older orchards the only prac

to consist of spraying or dusting
with p.otectlve materials, pref

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

sary to get adequate control.

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.
Harvesting operations are ex
peeled to start this week and jy
sept. 111 to De in run swing.

On That Bum Fttd
It Is possible that some of the
salesmen for competing com
panlea who have so glibly been
telling folks that the Douglas
Flour Mill "Jlst simply caln't
make good feed at that price"
doesn't understand what we
mean by saying "On that bum
feed." 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! We sold that much

We are selling so much feed
these days that we now have a
little room for more grain. Bring
in your samples and let us make
a hid. On good quality oats, we
will pay $45.00 pcr ton, good
barley $50.00 and good speltz
$."0.00. These prices are consid
erably belter than are being paid
up In the valley, hut we won't
have tn ship anv out, so can give
you the benefit of freight
charges.
Beet Pulp
Those dry pastures make the
lamny cow long for something
Juicy. A little beet pulp, espe
cially If you moisten It up makes

And speaking of beet duId. we
are going to add a bit of it to
because we were making good ! l,VPyUA W'-KMAKER right

men's companies were selling. ' ff' t'MI'QUA MILK-

gal a bit extra heet pulp besides.
And, do you know, we have a
suspicion THAT explains their
frantic efforts to talk vou Into
quilting our BUM FEED for
their high priced feed.
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

EVERYBODY that YOU CAN
PAY MORE. BUT YOU CANT
BUY BETTER FEEDS.

W. M. SANDALL CO.
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.
