Farm Homt Convenience Increasing In Oregon '
There aren't as many farms as
there used to be but they're get
ting bigger. And the fanner's wife
is coming into her own share of
wealth from the increased large
size units.
According to reports from El
vera Horrell, agricultural econo
mist at Oregon State College, farm
ers' wives now have many of the
same conveniences that city wom-

Oregon's farm wives fare a lit
tle better than the national av
erage. Most of them, says Mrs.
Horrell, have electricity and piped
running water. Almost three
fourths have phones and nearly
half have home freezers.
Wives are working more out
side the home to supplement the
farm income. Last year, 28 per
cent of the rural wives were work
ing an increase of 6 per cent
over 1948.

Records Required
On Wool Payments
Sales documents, receipts, are re
quired in support of applications
filed by producers for payment
under the wool program.
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

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.

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.

Two members of the North Ump
qua Garden Club were winners in

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
