O. Rawlings, Oregon State college extension hor ticulture specialist, has an nounced. On Aug. 24, the tour will as semble at the Homer A. Kruse orchard three miles east of Wil--aonville in Clackamas county at 9:15 a. m. First stop on the Aug. 25 schedule calls for a visit to the W. 0. Loffelmacher walnut and filbert orchards four miles south of Junction City on River road at 9:15 a. m. Tour plans include spending one day in the northern portion of the Willamette valley and the second day in the Eugene area. Both fil bert and walnut orchards will be included in each day'a program. Kruse, filbert grower for al most a half-century, owns one of the oldest plantings in the state. He will describe growth recovery in his orchard following severe winters in 1919 and 1936. Both win ter seasons caused tree damage much like that of last winter. At the Loffelmacher orchard, re sults of using both sprays and dusts for control of walnut blight will be compared. In his walnut orchard, Loffelmacher is spraying using a nign tower on nis spray equipment which he will describe.

Folks, we are proud to know all of you. We are proud to get all the fine post cards we did about "to stop or not to Stop" the FEED BAG. : r We had no idea "The Feed Bag" had so many friends. We got a heap of post cards, a few letters, and many person al messages, and they were all to the effect that "The Feed Bag" might take a little vaca tion, but not too long. 1 It is true that one fella says he wanted to write, but If he had wrote, the Guvment might not have took the post card, as he would've poured It on pretty heavy. But we thought we de tected a smile on his mug when he said it. Truth to tell, we expected some brickbats, as we have a hunch we may have stepped on some toes in the past few years, But our enemies have been very considerate of our feelings, and . didn't wound .them any deeper, to we still feel pretty happy. Thanks again, friends, and we hope we will be deserving of your kindness and good wishes. And to those who so kindly write that the first place they look in Monday's News Review is on the Farm Page for the "Feed Bag," here's hoping you will see it for many weeks to come. Let's Get Up-To-Dote Since closing the Feed Bag for your vacation, we have had some changes. Mostly good. So we want to pasa on the good words, and warn you of the others. For one thing, we have done something unusual for this time of year. Ordinarily we fix up as good a formula as we can think of about New Year's Day. Then we put everything that has happened in the nu tritional line during the prev iuos year. And that represents Jie formula for the ensuing year. This year, we decided about Mig, 1st that we could Improve the make-up of UMPQUA MILK EGG MASH so much that it wouldn't be right to wait till December to pass the benefits along to you. So your Milk Egg Mash will be better beginning just before you get this copy of The Feed Bag. Right now, your bag of Ump qua Milk Egg Mash is carry ing 20 protein, Instead of the usual 18. And this extra pro tein Is not built up by adding wheat by-products. It is most ly of animal origin, and the percentage of sound grains' is high, making it very strong and nutritious.

In nlain unvarnished truth, you get t Applt Succeeds Bouquet In OSC Crops Section Fruit follows the flower in na ture, so perhaps it is not entirely a coincidence that Spencer B. Apple has succeeded A. G. B. Bouquet in . the vegetable crops section of the horticulture depart ment at Oregon State college. Professor Bouquet retired July 1 after serving as professor of vegistable crops for 41 years. Ap pointment of Mr. Apple as asso ciate professor of horticulture in charge of vegetable crops has been announced by Dean W. A. Schoenfeld. A graduate of Taxas A. and M. college, where he also obtained his master's degree, Professor Apple has taken additional graduate study at Iowa State, Cornell and Washington State college. Two New OSC Buildings Making Rapid Progress OREGON STATE COLLEGE - Construction of Oregon State s two newest buildings is somewhat a- head of schedule, although they will not be completed until a year irom now. Work on the food technology building is about 10 percent along. Foundations and the basement walls are being .poured for the large animal industries building now officially named Wilhycombe hall after Dr. James. Withycombe, formerly director of the O. S. C. agricultural experiment station and later governor of Oregon. The two new buildings are a short distance north of Sackett hall, women's dormitory, and west of the present college greenhouses. area include the Frank Harlow or chard, four miles northest of Eu gene; . the J. G. Steinmetz or chard, Springfield; and the 100 acre A. R. Quackenbush filbert or chard east of Springfield on the McKenzie highway.

But if you did go wo know you enjoved it. Sure was a fine show, huh? And now let's all make our plans to make the 1951 Coun ty Fair even better and big ger.

Talk About Eggs! If only our hens would lay eggs like those cussed "large . round worms!" That is if OUR hens would, hut the hens in Nebraska, Calif, and New Jer sey wouldn't. You know, It is estimated that one single round worm may produce five million eggs. (It doesn't say how much a married one would.) Anyway, if your pullets or turkeys are infested, it would save billions of future worms lo give those P. N. (I.ederle) worm tablets. They sure do a good job.

Teutsch Given Praise For Extension Leadership In Agriculture At College Nearly a third of a century of contributions to Oregon agriculture came to a close with the death Aug. 9 of William L. Teutsch, assistant director of the Oregon State college extension service. Mr. Teutsch, widely-known in the state's agricultural circles, suffered a fatal heart attack while on a brief vacation in central Oregon. Since his death, scores of trib utes have been received by col lege officials and his family from his associates in the extension service, and from leaders in other states, Washington, D. C, and the hundreds of people with whom he worked as coordinator between the extension service and 23 state and federal agencies which have work in the field of agriculture. His associates at OSC said Mr. Teutsch made an unusual record in assisting state and federal lead ers in developing positions in the field of public policy and in in terpreting national agricultural prlicy matters to Oregon people. Probably his most notable con tribution in this field, they point out, nas Dcen in connection with soil conservation work and his membership on the state soil con servation committee. He assisted with conduction most of the hear ings in Oregon on the feasibility of its 33 districts. Born in Tacoma, Wash., 53 years ago, Mr. Teutsch was farm-reared in Malheur county. He was grad uated from OSC in 1920, where he was student body president. "His deep sympathies with the problems ot agriculture and agri cultural people stemmed in great measure from his farm back ground," declared F. L. Ballard, associate director of the OSC ex tension service who had worked with him for more than 30 years, "His enthusiasm for the determi nation and advancement of pro grams in rural education was con tagious. His accurately analytical mind contributed tremendously to the determination of Oregon's ex tension programs and tho ad- August 21, 1950 the birds up and give them individual treatment.

About 95 of all the UMP QUA TURKEY GROW we sell is compressed. It has always cost you a bit more than the mash form of the same feed. Now, we are going to try a stunt. Till further notice, we will sell UMPQUA TURKEY GROW,. whether mash or pel lets at the same price. From all angles, we think the pellets are superior. Less bad habits, less waste, less sorting of feed, (though tur keys seldom sort UMPQUA), better feed conversion. The only question has been the slight difference in price. So new, if you prefer the pellets, they will cost you just the same. And believe it or not, the price for either is $4.50. You mean to say you don't be lieve this?

Over all there was a stability of purpose and the highest degree of integrity which commanded respect every where." ' As county agent in Lake county, Mr. Teutsch assisted leaders there in setting the newer oattern of as- riculture which developed there with the coming of more extensive irrigation and railroad and high way connections. And while acting as district agent earlier in his ca reer in a number of Willamette valley counties, he gave special emphasis to the forage crop pro gram in this region including the adaptation oi auaua.

Kabobs are tender cuts of beef or lamb cut into one-and-one-half to two inch squares about one-half inch thick. These are run on a sharpened green stick alternately with bacon and onion slices leav ing a little space between pieces so heat penetrates. Kabobs are roasted over coals. They may be dipped in barbecue sauce while roasting After the meat is almost done, the Kabob may be wrapped spirally with three-fourths inch wide strios of biscuit Hnn0h When fathpr nmurllv 1,,tc hnmA I ....... ......... r.vuutJ ,u6o IIUIIIC i aaimon, ii s an occasion to serve tne prize on a plank.

Its advantage is Uiat milk need not be heated to 90 degrees before separation, and the necessity for retooling if the milk and cream are to be held before shipment. The Lower Columbia Coopera tive Dairy association is process ing about a million pounds of milk a month with the new separator. Prune Grower Cuts Costs With 2 New Devices SALEM P) Use of catch ing trays and field cleaners is cutting costs for prune growers in the Keizer area just north of here. W. R. Berndt asked prune grow ers to come to his farm to learn how he cut costs to $5 a ton in 1949 and come out with a higher quality fruit. His catching trays arc light weight welded pipe frames cov ered with hop sacking and mounted on wheels. Although his crews used pole shakers, Berndt. said tractor shak ers could be used. The prunes dropped into the frames and passed through an opening into boxes. Then they were put through a field- cleaner which removed leaves, twigs and small prunes with an air blast. Prunes harvested by this method, he continued, receive a higher quality rating than hand harvested fruit. They showed no dirt and a very low percentage of brown rot, skin cracks, stem punc tures and bruises. ground. Fresh corn can be baked in husks. The silk- is removed and cobs are tied. Then the corn is soaked in water for one-half hour and rolled in wet newspaper or foil. Corn requires about 45 min utes on top of coals to steam. YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM ROSEBURG GRANGE SUPPLY Demand Is Great For Forest Cones, Prospects are bright for another good forest tree seed crop and cones will again be in demand by nurseries and seed dealers. j This statement is from Paul N. Goodmonson, farm woodlot prod ucts marketing specialist with the ; Oregon Mate college extension ser vice, who says the seed cones will be ripe about Sept. 5. Wanted pai ticularly are Douglas fir cones, hemlock and limited Quantities of western red cedar, all true firs ' wmte ana noble, and spruce. Cone gatherers who are indust- rimie mow m.t. ac m,,h ae C19 to $16 a short working day. Nurseymen and seed dealers pay for cones on the basis of a cutting test, sampling ' individual offerings. The more seeds present I in the cones, the higher the price. uooomonson explains. Most likely places to look for seed bearing cones is on land where the trees are fairly open. Stands thinned by logging opera tions arc excellent seed sources, and one open grown tree may yield up to 10 to 12 bushels of cones. Where squirrels are cutting cones out of trees and allowing them to fall is another good seed source. Cones are normally purchased by the bushel and dealers ask that they be bagged in burlap sacks. In storing cones, Goodmonson advises that they be stored in a shaded, well ventilated spot. Sacks should never be piled on top the other, and the specialist suggests standing the bags upright to allow more air space between sacks. Where cones will not be delivered to a dealer within a week, it is advisable to dump them onto dry ground and spread them at a depth - not to exceed four inches. Occasional turning will halt mold. For lists of dealers, Goodmonson suggests that cone pickers contact their local county extension office. 1 4'2ft.G0BLEDISC 1 DEEP WELL PUMP WITH MOTOR 1 SHALLOW WELL PUMP WITH MOTOR 3 IRRIGATION PUMPS 1 PORTABLE FIRE PUMP 1 Mod. 30 Massey-Harris 2-3 Plow Tractor 1 7 ft.

L The department of Agriculture said the Aug. 1 survey indicated a 12 percent increase over last year and 10 percent over the 1938 48 average. This was Improved over the 11 percent gain forecast in June. The wheat harvest may be 24, 328,000 bushels, up 5 percent from last year on 10 percent less acre age. The feed grains Corn, oats, rye, barley may touch 26,825,000 bushels. This is 20 percent over a year ago. Farmers are likely to cut 1,892, 000 tons of hay, an 11 percent in crease. An improved hop cluster yield may offset a drop in fuggles for a total hop production of 16,500,000 pounds, up 13 percent. The potato estimate is 11,700,000 bushels. Fruit and nut production are far off, however, down to as much as two thirds of the bumper' 1949 crop and 14 per cent under the 10 year average. ...... GRIEF FOR BUILDERS MEMPHIS, Tenn.
