THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, IMG THE SENTINEL, COTTAGE PROVE, OREGON Valuable Straw Plowed in Well By New Method Thousands of acres of Oregon land which raised oats and vetch or oats and peas this year are now covered with crop residues worth more than $8 an acre in fertilizer value alone, points out Arthur King, extension specialist in soils at O.S.C. How to insure the sav ing of this valuable fertilizer was recently demonstrated at a field meeting held by John J. Inskeep, county agent of Clackamas coun ty, and attended by 246 farmers. Growers have frequently met with difficulty in plowing under heavy crops of oat and pea straw with a moldboard plow alone. The field on which the demonstration was held had a straw cover of ap proximately 2Mi tons to the acre.' By using a disc tiller first, follow ed by a double disc and spike- tooth harrow, it was possible to incorporate this heavy straw cover throughout the entire 8-inch plow depth. The surface of the soil was left in good condition for moisture penetration, and it was the opinion of the farmers present that rapid decomposition of the straw would occur because of its thorough dis tribution in the soil. It was also show’n that by using the disc till er, it was not necessary to wait for fall rains before plowing. Another satisfactory method was to cut the straw’ with the double disc and f o l l o w with a moldboard plow and harrow. The double disc alone did not do a sat isfactory job of plowing but would cut up the straw enough so that little difficulty was encountered with a moldboard plow. In summarizing the value of the oat and [x»a straw. King pointed out that a ton of oat straw con tains $1.30 worth of nitrogen, 30 cents worth of phosphoric acid, and $.95 worth of potash. Pea straw contains $2. 24 cents, and $1.35 worth, respectively, of these elements. Thus with 2H tons of residue per acre the fertilizer value alone would be $8.86 with out considering the added value of the organic matter.

Oregon has an abundant crop of grapes this year, which provides the homemaker with an opportun ity to replenish her stores of juice and jelly with a rich and colorful fruit, says Mrs. Mabel Mack, act ing extension nutritionist at Ore gon State college. i Grapes are also excellent for use fresh in salads and desserts as long as the season lasts. They combine well with other autumn fruits such as pears, peaches, und apples, and provide a colorful centerpiece, excellent both for decoration and nutrition. Grape juice is easy to make by FRUIT SHIPMENT« FROM various recipes but sometimes the ROGUE VALLEY crystals of cream of tartar which form when grape juice is cooked are somewhat annoying.

Pontiac got away to a big start in September with retail deliver ies for the first ten day period at 3,845 compared to 1,341 for the same ten days of 1939. a gain of 186.7 per cent, according to D. U. Bathrick, general sales manager. Deliveries also were 27.8 per cent above those of the last ten days of August. Stocks of new cars dropped 369 units during the ten days, while unfilled orders more than doubled since August 31 and stood at 4.2 times the number that were on hand a year ago. Used car sales continued to pile up new all-time records for the year with 10,008 sales for the ten- day period, a gain of 99 per cent over the first ten days of Septem ber, 1939. Used car inventories dropped 2,599 cars during the ten days and 9,544 since August 1, and showed only a 22-day supply on hand com pared with 33 days a year ago. Bathrick points out that these ten-day figures look particularly good, because they represent sales that were made even before the 1941 Pontiacs were announced. Building Boom A building boom that may tax the capacities of the construction indus try is foreseen as one result of America's new national defense pro gram by building men and m aterial manufacturers over the country. Recalling the serious housing short age during the World war, those in the construction industry point out that President Roosevelt's plan for vast new armaments will have much the same effect. The pickup in heavy capital goods is certain to carry with it a vast employment program, it is said. These activi ties are foreseen as creating a huge building program in the industrial field as well as an increased m ar ket for small homes to prosperous wage earners. that of another fruit such as apples. Oregon is favored by having both the American and the Euro pean type grapes. The American type, which includes the many Concord strains, are known as the slipskin varieties, and are descend ed from the original wild grapes found in this country. The Euro pean type grapes were brought to California by the early mission aries. They have tight skins as represented by the c o m m o n Thompson seedless and Flame Tokay. In buying grapes on the market. Mrs. Mack recommends that one look for firm, plump fruit, free from mold and from the effect of frost. A good precaution is to lift a bunch and make sure the berries do not fall off the stems at the slightest touch.
