at Corvallis. He suggested that all of the answers may be obtained
in the next three years. Present plans provide for carrying the
same treatments through the production cycle including bulblets,
yearlings and finally greenhouse performance of commercials.
Ralph Clark, horticultural specialist, OSC, recommended the
use of more balanced fertilizer, later digging, and irrigation as a
means of improving quality and production. He also emphasized
the need for reducing production costs.
Insect pest control was outlined by Dr. Chas. F. Dousettc, en
tomologist from Western Washington experiment station at Puy
allup. Following the lily growers meeting, he held a short session
with daffodil growers. He recommended fumigation and cooking
only when needed, but suggested the use of methyl bromide in
stead of other fumigents. The methyl bromide is effective in the
control of both fulb flies and mites which eliminates necessity
of cooking unless nematodes are present.
Attendance included all of the commercial growers from southern
Curry and quite a number from the central and northern part of
the county. O. P. Ferguson, Robert Bailor. Charles Graham, Eai I

Brookings Pelicans
The Merlin team failed to put
in an appearance at the high
school diamond, Sunday, for the
scheduled game against Brook
ings Pelicans. Hank Westbrook
was on the mound and Eddie Des-
jardin behind the plate when
Umpire Don Craig called “play
ball’’ at 2 o’clock. With no Mer
lin batter appearing to take his
“cut’’, Craig declared the game
won by the Pelicans by the tech
nical score of 9 to 0.
The forfeit on the part of
Merlin now gives the Pelicans
eight wins against one loss. Butte
Falls has six wins and two losses,
prior to their scheduled game
against Glendale, Sunday, and as
suming Butte Falls won that
game, the Pelicans would be hold
ing the lead by only one game.
BuHe Falls, the only team to
defeat the Pelicans, comes to
Brookings next Sunday tor what
will be the key game of the sea

practically cinch the pennant —
while a loss would throw the lo
cals into a tie with Butte Falls.
