LANDSCAPE HEAD Jens Svcnth, head of the land
scape department of the State Highway Department,
checks on grass which has been sown along highways.
Among Valley Farmers
By County Agents Ted Sidor and Charles Cavin
Last week we had the pleasure
of looking over the work done by
the highway department on the
cuts made during the construc
tion of the highway. Jens Sventh,
in charge of the landscaping for
the state told us that they used
a mixture of CO per cent fine
fescue, 30 per cent chewings and
30 per cent creepng red. The
remainder of the mixture con
sists of crested wheatgrass, or
chard grass, smooth brome, white
clover and Alta fescue.
The areas we checked were on
the new stretch of highway be
tween Glover overhead and Mea-
cham. . .
On all areas where soil was
fairly deep, the fine fescues were
doing an excellent job. On those
areas where soil was a limiting
factor, crested wheatgrass was
outstanding. One thing that sur
prised us was the orchard grass
and how well it was doing. Even
in the areas that the fine fescues
were having a struggle, the or
chard was really producing.
We arc not saying that orchard
crass is ideal fur roadside seed
ing, but it does prove that or-

chard grass wuuid be ideal for
secdings in that area on range
land.
It might be well to note that
the grass is usually mulched on
these cuts with fine fescue straw
and the seed is sprayed on with
a solution of fertilizer. Approxi
mately 30 pounds of actual nit
rogen per acre is used.
The highway department is do
ing a good job of getting these
seeding started that hold the
cuts from eroding or slipping
into the ditches.
Several of our cherry growers
are in the process of planting
their cover crops in their orch
ards. One of the most success
ful has been on the farm of
Clifford Towle of Cove. Clifford
started several years ago just
using field peas with limited
success. Usually, he wound up
in the fall with little or no
growth and not enough growth
in the spring. Two years ago be
planted a mixture of 60 pounds of
peas, 40 pounds of wheat, along
with 10 pounds of actual nitro
gen per acre. He received very
good results in that the wheat
afforded him a great deal of or
ganic matter and slowed down
erosion and the peas did quite
well in the spring, furnishing him
with a good supply of nitrogen.
This past year he followed the
same procedure in the fall and
added til) to (10 pounds of nitro
gen in the full and received out
standing results.
Actually, on a number of our
orchards that have been eroded
and then couple it with the nat
ural low fertility of the soils,
wc will find that unless a small
boost is given with nitrogen, we
will usually be disappointed in
the results.
Just a word of warning, how
ever. Ten pounds of actual nit
logen should be the limit in the
fall because we do not want to
stimulate tree growth.
What's ahead for the family
dairy farm in Oregon? Are days
numbered for the old-fashioned
farmer with "cow sense" as dairy
herds become larger and more
commercial?
II. P. Ewalt, extension dairy
specialist at Oregon State Col
lege, says in his opinion a lot
of family operations will be able
to continue. Kfficenry not ne
cessarily bigness is the key.
He suggests measuring effici
ency by amount of milk produc
ed per man year of labor. A
reasonable goal to set would be
400.000 pounds milk achieved
annually by each dairy worker.
A number of Oregon dairy farm
ers already are equaling, or bet
tering this record. However
Ewalt added, too many aren't
even coming close.
A heard of 40 cows producing
an average of 10.000 pounds milk
would reach this target. Since
the average Oregon cow pro
duces 6.HU0 pounds annually, it
would take a herd of 60 of these
cows handled by one man to
reach the 400,000 pound level.
The average 1HIA cow in Ore
gon produces 9 000 pounds, so 45
cows like that could achieve the
goal.
Top producing DHIA herd in
the state last year had 29 cows,
averaging 14.!)& pounds milk.
Some factors affecting produc
tion include: quulity and amount
of feed; selecting cattle with
genetic ability to produce: atten
tion given each cow; keeping rec
ords and using them; age of
cows in herd.
Dairy farmers who can't keep
up will una inemscivos squeez
ed out before long, the specialist
predicts.
Hay prices in the Dukntas are
up from last year by $4.30 a ton
for wild hay in North Dakota to
r 1 1 a tun for alfalfa hay in South
Dakota. This is indicative of
the relative shortage of hay in
these states. Hay prices have al
so Increased substantially in Ore
gon and Nevada, and to a lesser
extent in Wyoming. Idaho. Utah

DREW PEARSON SAYS:

Upset Nikita While On Tour
WASHINGTON A Nikita
Khrushchev was to ait down with
President Eisenhower for the
jmost important phase of the most
important trip ever taken by any
foreign visitor through the L'SA,

:tary one. The Joint chiefs of
staff had been urging Eisenhow
or to reinforce the American mil
itary in and around Berlin in
reparation for a showdown. The
President was not willing to do
this. They had also advised him
that military budget cuts could
not continue without our falling
behind Russia. They did con
tinue. The military leaders then
advised that it was better to talk
than to fight.
It was basically because of this
that the John Foster Dulles policy
of aloofness was reversed and
Khrushchev was invited to the
United States.
Nixon Gets Jittery
Having made this decision the
administration immediately acted
as if it regretted it. A few days
after the invitation was issued,
Vice President Nixon came home
to find certain old guard poli
tical friends very sour over his
speech to the Russian people and
the manner in which he had em
braced US USSR friendship. They
warned him that Nelson Rocke
feller had even refused to visit
the Soviet exhibition in New
York though he is governor of
that state.
So Nixon started backtracking.
Similar reaction from the isola
tionist wing of the GOP was regis
tered with Ike. He then appointed
the most incongruous of all es
corts fir Khrushchev, Henry Ca
bot Lodge, the envoy to the UN
who has needled, badgered, and
blocked the Russians at the Unit
ed Nations until they hate him
Partly because of this back
ground, partly because Ike long
m anted to give Lodge a leg-up
toward the presidential nnmina
tion, Lodge was instructed to In
troduce Khrushchev before every
audience with a needling, con
Irovcrsal statement. This is not
the traditional way of introduc
ing any speaker in the USA, no
matter who he is. And it is not
in keeping with American tradi
tion toward an invited guest, es
pecially the head of any nation
with whom you are trying to
patch up an agreement.
Ike followed this up with a
very aloof press conference in
which he once referred to Khru
shchev as "that man" and in
which he suggested that the Am
erican people wouldn't be "fool
ed" by him.
When the President of the Uni
ted State says this publicly, it's
the cue for every politician who s
running for office to get TV ex
posure and newspaper headlines
by taking a similar poke at the
man the State Department want
ed to warm up for the Camp
David talks. Normal diplomatic

HANGOVER TROUBLES
CHICAGO (UPI As far as
driving is concerned, the hang
over may be worse than the binge
that started it. A Milwaukee doc
tor said yesterday. Dr. Herman
A. Heine, chairman of the Amer
ican Medical Association's com
mittee on medico-legal problems,
said hangovers bring a "slicker-
ing" of the eyes which cuts down
isiuii.
Deliberately
procedure is to be as polite as
possible in the preliminaries,
give in on inconscqucntials, and
get your opposite number in the
best possible mood to compro
mise at the final talks in this
ca c over Berlin.
Finally, after almost a week
of goading Nikita, the White
House g'-t jittery over the up
coming Camp David talks and or
dered a revel sal of policy.
Khruthchev's Humor
The headlines made it appear
he opposite, but the fact is that
Khrushchev took this goading
with more good humor than
could have been expected. Other
visiting dignitaries have not tak
en it. The queen of Greece
threatened to leave New York
for home without even coming
to Washington when she learned
Eisenhower was not planning to
meet her and the k.ng. King
Saud of Saudi Arabia balked at
coming to the USA until he had
categoric assurances Eisenhower
would meet him. President de
Gaulle even refused to come to
the United States at all and
made Eisenhower come to him
in Paris. This was one reason
for Ike's trip this summer.
During Khrushchev's cross
country trip most newspapers
headlined the argument and the
needlings. This of course was
news. But the real story was
not that he argued with such
people as American Labor lead
ers, but that he was willing to
meet with them at all; second
that he stayed with them one
hour longer than expected
third, that he came out of the
session to announce that it had
been a healthy one.
Prime Minister MacMillan of
England wouldn't have met with
them. President de Gaulle of
France wouldn't even have con
sidered meeting with American
labor. President Frondizi of Ar
gentina, who was elected with
Argentine labcr support, wouldn't
have done so. The only foreign
visitor who has subjected him
self to the hot give-and-take of
debate with American labor is
Vice President Joao Goulart of
Brazil.
So if the man with more missi
les than we have and with
enough scientific know-how to hit
the moon is willing to subject
himself to this kind of rough-and-tumble
democratic debate,
then it should be a step for
ward on the road toward more
understanding.

tinuirg favorable pattern for
growth, it would apiear possible
that during the middle of the
law's we might have a daily
ave-age volume of around 4'-
million shares and a total list of
perhaps 8' million shares.
"Should such a level be reach
ed, of course, the volume traded
on any given day would undoubt
edly range much higher and
much lower than the average
daily figure of 4' million shares.
"Similarly, continued growth
throughout the 196u's could bring

and a total stock list of some
thing over 11 billion shares."
The rate of trading in August
averaged 2.4 million shares daily,
against 3.2 million shares in July.
Education Key Te Future
"There is no question in my
mind,"' said Funston, "that the
future financing of our industries
is tied to the soundness and suc
cess with which our educational
efforts develop. But even more
important, by putting ownership
within the reach of millions of
people, we can exert an enor
mous influence for good on the
growth of the free world.
"For this reason, while we are
pleased with (he results of our
own efforts to date, we by no
means feel that share ownership
has gone as far as it can and
should."
Funston didn't mention it. but
an increase Jn volume to six
million average would require
new ticker machinery. .
Studies are being made now on
stock market servides with the
idea of handling much larger
markets in the future. At the
present time there are 54 billion
shares listed. If the total should
double by the 1970's many other
changes would be required than
ticker speedup.
