the annual summer tour ot tne
Nut Growers society of Oregon
and Washington which will be held
Aug. 24 and 25, C. O. Rawlings,
Oregon State college extension hor

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

Hi, There!
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

that has happened in the nu
tritional line during the prev

Jie formula for the ensuing
year.
This year, we decided about

W. L. 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-

From all angles, we think
the pellets are superior. Less
bad habits, less waste, less
sorting of feed, (though tur

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.

Prune Grower
Cuts Costs With
2 New Devices
SALEM P) Use of catch

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.

Fresh corn can be baked in

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.

Crop Harvest
Is Looking Up
PORTLAND UP) Oregon
1950 field crop harvest is looking i"
better for the farmers. 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. ......
