The best time to obtain adequate sales documents is at the time shorn wool or unshorn lambs are sold states J. Roland Parker, coun ty extension agent. Required information on sales documents includes: (1) The name and address of the producer (2) date of sale; (3) net weight of wool sold or, in the case of unshorn lambs, the number and tiveweight of the unshorn lambs sold; (4) the i name and address, and signature of the buyer; and (5) in the case of shorn wool, the net amount paid the producer where the sale was at his ranch, farm, or local shin- : ping point, or the marketing de- PAY .LESS Low-cost, long term Land Bnk Loans are avail. able naw tA fi. nane needed .farm a a d ranch improvement.

Garden Clubs Bulletin Lists Helpful Hints In Feed Handling Every time livestock feed or a feed crop is moved, there's an ex cellent chance to let-a machine do some of the back-breaking work advises a new bulletin published by the extension services and ex periment stations of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. The bulletin, titled "Feed Hand ling Equipment," is filled with suggestions and piatures giving farmers ideas for easing their feed-handling loads. Besides mak ing life easier for the farmer, me- cnanicai equipment can save time and labor with a resulting lowered cost and increased ef ficiency of the farmer's operation. Livestock feeds can be classed as concentrates, roughages, green, and waste or by-product feeds, the bulletin points out. And ail of these feeds go through at least some of the handling steps of col lecting, loading, moving, proces sing, and storing. Work-saving equipment such as self-unloading wagons, trucks, and feeders, feed carts, portable and stationary elevators, augers, blow ers, conveyors, and bunk feeders are covered in the bulletin. Copies of the bulletin are available from the Douglas County Extension Agent or the Oregon Slate College bulletin clerk. YOU HAVE IV ' JpV . VH i K'fyk And why not?

THE CALIFORNIA ORKOON POWIR COMPANY A Wfllwa Censaay Minos' tnd earrtanl y Wmffflt Ten members of the Good Earth Garden Club met at the home of! Mrs. Lulu Neves May 14. The main topic of discussion was the booth j prepared by the members for the recent Flower Show at the Fair-j grounds. Those in charge of the booth dur-: ing the show reported much inter est in the woodland scene depict-: ed. A stone garden path led past wild flowers and moss, to a small wishing well, and rustic bench, complete with gardening hat, gloves, and tools. Members feel this was a successful trial, in prep aration for the coming competition at the county fair this fall. They are also preparing an exhibit for the flower show at Suthesiin, where the theme is "Vacation Time." Jean Radcliffe reported on wild flowers in bloom, and Mary Bailey read an invitation to a flower show in Ontario. The next meeting will be at the Joe Brumbach home, on South Deer Creek, June 7, at 1 p.m. Rose Car Discussed With n much saw rase fiTrowth on most of the roses at this time, it is a good idea to check them for 1 aDhis. ADhis seem to thrive on tne tender new growth, and they can: get a pretty good start octore tne gardener realizes they are there. ine potato apnia attacKS some times in the early spring, it is green, often tinged with pink, aoout one eight of an inch long. The rose ap.ua may ne touna on the rose all year. They are green and aoout the same size as tne potato aphid. Dust containing 1 per cent lindane or 5 per cent mala- thion is effective. Snider mite is another Insect that attacks roses. They are so tiny, a magnifying glass must be used to see them. If the rose leaves begin to get a dry like appearance and turn brown and brittle, there may be amder mite. There wul Be a line webb over the underside of the leaf. A S per cent malathion is effective on these small mites. , Black Snot is probable the most serious fungus disease on roses. The most oovious euect is tne black spot on the leaves followed by the leaves failing off the plant There have been tests all over the United States, conducted by rose exnerts in the control of black spot. Some have used one kind of chem ical while others have used another. There are several insecticides that have proven effective against alack spot, soma oi tne most et fective are sulpher, an old time tested remedy, plus the newer cap tan and ferbam. Suoher, of course. Is a lime test ed remedy for rose mildew. Captan is also good for this, but in using it be sure to get the wettable kind as it is much more effective. Roses should be sprayed or dusted every seven to ten aays earing tne snv mer. Sprays and dusts won't do the roses much good sitting on the shelf. Use them often, if you want good roses this summer. North Umpqua Garden Club Two members of the North Ump qua Garden Club were winners in the recent pageant of Progress spring exposition and garden show. They were Mrs. Arnold E, Dupont and Airs. Aima vans. Remember House Plants Don't neelect house nlanls while giving the outside plantings so much attention. House slants real-: ly like a vacation too. Why not sink pots of cyclamen, cineraria and other plants into me sou in a shady corner of the yard. They will really appreciate it! Be sure to watch for spider mite. They like ivy real well, and your ivy plant can lose most of its leaves before you know anything is really wrong with it. It is sur prising how aphis can got started in the house on plants, but they seem to. A spray with malathion in it will control these insects, but be sure to set them outside to spray them. Another thing house niants mav need is shifting to a larger pot. They will reward you with lush growth. Knock the plant out of the pot by turning it upside liram sn4 ifinninff ii fin that hcrii-h or other hard surface, being sure! to hold the plant with one hand so i that it will not be damaged. If the ! roots have formed a ball in the; pot, it needs to be shifted to a larger pot. Use a good soil mixture j with a little bone meal in ii, or one 1 of the special mixtures that is on the market today, J Naw Officers Elected The May meeting of the North!

They like well-drained soil on the sandy side. Boulc de Feu (Fireball) is one of the most col orful varieties. Mav Painters Keep AmWas moist at all times, and feed with liquid fish fertilizer every six weeks until September. Plant Dahlias anytime from now on.
